Mind vs. Soul
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 11:52 am
There has been a strong message from the angels of late to plumb the depths of our souls in search of our soul consciousness. What a challenging invitation this is. Since we live in a material world primarily focussed on material concerns, thoughts and stimuli, focussing on our soul awareness is not easy. I believe that I would be safe to say that we all are materially mind oriented and that we get glimpses of soul consciousness but we certainly don't operate to any great degree from that place. Sure we want to be there, our aspirations and prayers are for this awareness to be with us daily and the angels seem to think that we are capable of this. Essentially I believe that the goal is the integration of both mind and soul consciousness into a smoothly articulate state of being. My own interpretation of what I'm presently doing says that I compartmentalize my consciousness. I'm mostly in my head and occasionally aware that I'm operating not exclusively from my soul but that I'm partially there. Its a different sort of consciousness, not linear and I feel expansive when I'm there. It feels like my mind is observing my soul and my soul is smiling up to my mind. A handshake of sorts where there is room for both. The soul seems like the little brother to my mind which most definitely has the upper hand and after all these years my mind is finally making room for little brother soul. It is accepting the soul as a part of the family if you will. This sounds a bit schizophrenic but I think that in this transition phase, it will undoubtable feel weird and a little disorienting. I'm also not suggesting that the soul lies hidden most of the time. I feel a mild and constant burning in my chest and a sense of there being a sort of power plant humming away there. It emanates good feelings of joy and excitement. Those sensations may fade as I go about my daily life but are never far from my consciousness. I carry this energy packet with me, its inside me almost like a pregnancy. Instead of my belly growing, my chest is expanding and there is an unmistakable sense that all is right with me. I sense contentment and rightness. I am connected to the Creator and He is my Father.
It took many years to come to this place of awareness which I'm sure is just a few steps off of our normal earthly consciousness. It was hard won, although I'm sure that if I tried harder I would be much further ahead. This system, like most things in the economy of God's Creation, requires input and energy. Rather than go full steam ahead for all of my life, it is more like a big push to begin with, losing momentum later on then leveling out then building back up to a good head of steam. So my consciousness has reflected that pattern in my life. I focus and then I get distracted. My humanness dictates this inconsistency and I know that I'm not alone. We tend to lose touch with our soul desires and consciousness with the least upset, distraction and disappointment. Thank God that He and the angels are all patient and loving ,otherwise we would all be lost in that sea of the human condition. We do not do it alone, we are supported in such powerful and loving ways that it is almost too overwhelming to acknowledge. It is in this support where the angels come close and overshadow us and where I think we begin to confuse our own soul condition and awareness with that of our angel friends. Their presence helps us to be lifted out of whatever human funk we find ourselves in and we then fool ourselves into thinking that this is our true state of being where nothing can be further from the truth. We are in truth a bundle of desires, aspirations, semi erroneous thoughts, fears and judgements . We also contain a soul imbued with many potentials waiting for that spark of life that is God's Love. With enough of that volatile fuel in our souls we begin to shift in our thinking and to a degree recognize the consciousness of the soul. It creeps up on us and surprizes us with its beautiful presence. The trick is to be able to discern who is communicating and in a state of rapport. Is a spirit influencing us in this way or are we doing this ourselves through our own souls communication with God? I know that this gets a little confusing and convoluted and maybe not worth worrying about. I'll take all the love, good feelings and information I can get . Yet we do need to develop discernment if we are to come to that place of recognition of our true soul's consciousness.....the mind of the soul.
I've had experiences where I am able to see/recognize a truth or situation or person in a way that does not include a stream of thoughts, one related to the other which in time comes to a conclusion or semblance of truth. It just comes in one big package and I think that it comes from my soul. It may be channeled through my soul from God or spirit but it feels like it bubbles up from that place that isn't all mind and up here above my shoulders. Is this soul consciousness or an experience of angelic communication and influence or is it both? I think that the angels keep communicating in this way in order to help us flex our soul muscles. They tutor us in the way of the soul and we are probably aware of a fraction of what they do to open up these faculties. Of course all is determined by our persistent and sincere prayer for the Love. Nothing happens of much consequence otherwise.
Many perceptions originate from the soul. Our inner sight, our ability to feel close to God and spirit and that wonderful flow of Love which comes through us to others. We are guided by being open and allowing God to influence us through our souls to our minds. When it 'feels right' you can be sure that its our soul that feels the rightness and our minds that are picking up on this awareness. When we feel that wonderful flow of Love we are channeling it through our souls or rather God is doing this and the more that we engage in this act, exercising those soul faculties/muscles, the stronger it gets. The stronger the experience becomes and the more used to it we become, the soul then has the foothold needed in our consciousness to gain its intended place in our daily state of being. So as in receiving the Love, it is an incremental evolving thing determined by our conscious participation and desire to be in that state of grace. We grow into soul consciousness as our soul minds expand through development and expression. The path to enlightenment is endless as we know and these few crucial steps make many of us the vanguards for a revolution of consciousness on our planet. The toppling of the tyranny of the mind may be at hand if we are all willing to dedicate ourselves to the exploration of soul consciousness. Viva the revolution my friends.
Nothing worth having comes without some form of struggle. In this case the gains are something priceless and mind blowing. We all have received hints of the potential of the soul. Now we need to place our faith forward so that we allow ourselves the space to explore what soul consciousness is. Its no easy task but God and the angels have our backs and we will succeed if we get with the program. Please keep praying for the Love and put away your fear and skepticism of what that may bring. Your soul is eager to emerge and embrace your mind. God looks forward to that day my friends. May we all eagerly anticipate it as well. May God bless all those that try. With love........Al
