Soul's Seven Stages-2

Hi folks!

Usha has sent a very interesting question-

Can there be two souls in one individual?

Like Maria,

Lets start at the very beginning!
A very good place to start!

The source that we all come from,is an all-encompassing creative force or energy.

For each of us, every individual who is on this earth, was and will be, it was his/her own choice to be born, to experience the joy of creation.

All of us have left the source out of our own choice and for the reason mentioned above.

Before leaving, we have also decided on the mode of our journey.

Some have chosen to beat a lonesome path.

Many have decided to come together in various relations, as friends or an extended circle of friends/colleagues.

When there are some who decide to come in a large group, of many thousands or more.


We begin as an Infant Soul in our behaviour, move on to the Baby, Young etc stages till we go back to the original source again, having satisfied our curiosity, so to say!

Each time that we leave our body, or die-as is commonly known, we meet others of our group who are also in the spiritual state, our seniors etc.

We decide , after due deliberation, the chart of our next life.

We may want to experience intense love for another soul in the next life and after consultation with that soul, both decide to be born as friends or a couple or mother-child etc.


Each physical body can inhabit only one spirit, or soul, so to answer your question, at times even if a person may seem to have a split personality or behave most unlike himself, there is only one permanent resident in his body.

He can however have conflicting patterns of thoughts leading to behaviour which is confusing to others.

Next timeI will tell you about the patterns that we have try to undo. Its very, very interesting!

Let me continue with the stages of the soul.

We have looked at the INFANT stage where sheer survival is the only over-riding agenda.

The BABY stage is where the basic fears have reduced considerably but there is a yearning for a rigid structure which gives a sense of security and belonging.

In the YOUNG SOUL stage, there is a desire to break away, be independent, to command and rule.

Next comes the MATURE stage of the soul.

After hundreds of lifetimes in each of the above stages, the soul starts to realise that there could be something more to life than I-MYSELF and ME!

Questions like 'Who am I?', 'Why am I'? etc. start cropping.

It now starts to search its exact place in the universal scheme of things.
This is a very interesting, exploratory stage and the soul spends many, many lifetimes learning to be non-judgemental, in trying to look inwards -now that he has discovered that there IS an inward direction too!

The MATURE SOUL, after innumerable lifetimes, becomes an OLD soul who tealises that we are all part of a single,wonderful whole and that we are all interconnected.

Such people have a very high level of personal integrity but they do not force their views on others.

They have a detached view of life and its ups and downs nad are equqnimous to everything.

It is not at all a given that by the time a soul has travelled this far, it will not have difficulties at all.

It will face hardships, death of loved ones,poverty, loss of money or prestige or whatever, according to his karma and choice.

It is in their reactions - or lack of them, that their maturity and evolution will show.

When all the OLD souls in a group evolve and come to a stage when they need not go back,they become a complete entity.

A member of this entity may, of his own accord, decice to come to earth to help humanity along the path of evolution.

Such souls are called the TRANSCENDENTAL SOULS.They bring a tremendous amount of good vibrations with them and bring about many positive social changes.

The seventh is the INFINITE SOUL which is a manifestation of the Original Source, what one could call the Divine.

They have the ability to raise the consciousness level of the entire earth.


These, then, are The Seven Stages of The Soul.

We find all of them at the same time all around us.

We are all a part of this - and at every stage have our upper limits of understanding things.

Its like a student of second std will definitely get confused, awestruck and probably unbelieving about whats taught in the tenth std or the university.

Our ignorance does not negate the existence of knowledge.

So long for now!

Read.

Chew on it and digest!

Think!

And Enjoy!

Hi!
Now I need some more clarification. It is an extension of Usha's question. Can one soul split and reside in two seperate bodies during the same lifetime? As claimed by someone in a book that I read recently. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the author. It was a Ph.D thesis.

I recently read in a book written by Walter Semkiw. He communicated with a Psychic to gather information to write the book. He says 20-30% of the earth population had reached the TRANSCENDENTAL levels. Wherein they can stop coming back to the earth; but still they come to help other people. Guess the world is still in a running condition due to them.
