Soulmates?

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on...

Celine Dion, 'My heart will go on'

But see despite the impermanent nature of physical existence and your physical body, memory is continuous and permanent. Doesn't matter how old you are, you should be able to remember the experiences you had from your childhood. The child you were no longer exists. Even who you were yesterday doesn't exist. You only exist in the here and now. You can only experience the past or the future as a thought from memory in the present moment.

But memory does have its limitations. You have lived many times before, we all have. We have all been relatives in family together. We have all been lovers. Partners. Friends. Brothers. Sisters. But we cannot remember much more than as far back as being aged around two in this incarnation. Each life and each incarnation we've gone through has been different in physical terms.

We cannot remember because our incarnations do not contain much memory of our connection with each other. We come here for love, to be together, to seek out and find each other, but each time we are incarnate we are someone new, in a new body, a new life, a new background and culture, a new perspective. But how can we find each other when we are in a different physical body, a different life, and a different family, than what we once were?

The concept of soul

Soul is a concept which roughly equates to a ghost. Fundamentally we are all 'akasha' which is Sanskrit for both 'spirit' and 'sky' which I'm informed by my guides that this is what we fundamentally are, spirit, akasha, which lies beneath consciousness. Consciousness is the interface between spirit and energy. In reality you are spirit, I am spirit, we are all spirit. We cannot conceive spirit simply because we cannot conceive or know anything about consciousness. Most of what we understand consciousness to be is space, emptiness, reality, because much of what consciousness is lies way beyond our ability to perceive it.

So what we do, as we can only understand and perceive consciousness through energy, is we anthropomorphize spirit. God, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, jahweh, soul, spirit, ghost, it's all spirit.

A soul is therefore dis-embodied spirit which has a perspective and gives off energy out of consciousness. If you can accept that an inanimate object has low levels of consciousness relative to its physical reality and can only express itself through consciousness dependently out of trauma to create limited amounts of karma, say a bell or a gong, then a soul is essentially memory and consciousness trapped in some form of energy which has no consistent rhythm or pattern of energy and therefore no autonomy.

But this is where we start getting into meta-physics. Meta-physics is a major part of both mysticism and magic and a subject most people avoid. Then again many people seem to want to avoid their felt sense of immediate experience at all costs, probably because it takes them out of their comfort zone and ideological bubbles. Whenever I get into meta-physics, even with doctors and others, I get the smiles of mild amusement and concern in their faces. However I wish people would get more interested in this stuff and at least try to get back some of the wonder and curiosity that was drummed out of them in childhood. Meta-physics is what keeps you centred and helps you with your sanity.

Meta-physics

Hmm where do I start here? It's probably best to start with the differences between energy and consciousness because this is reliably where you get the distinctions between physics, and physical reality, and meta-physics, and non-physical reality. Physical reality is always lawful, it's science, and non-physical reality is mysticism, simply because it's chaotic and spontaneous from a typical human perspective. Meta-physics seems scary - that's because anything beyond the known and your comfort zone elicits fear - because you've been conditioned to fear or dismiss the unknown and meta-physics. But it's also a major source of insight.

But where do you think your science comes from? All science comes out of mysticism and meta-physics. All science is about figuring out rhythms and patterns which occur with regularity, i.e. lawful phenomena and it can only be developed by plumbing the depths of ignorance, paying attention to what's going on around you, and making predictions based on observed reality from the past. Human intelligence is mainly developed through the development of consciousness. Formal education develops memory, which you need to develop consciousness. Somewhere you have to strike a balance between the two.

Much of what meta-physics is about you already know anyway even if you can't explain it. I'm assuming that you know how to walk, talk, and do all kinds of things with your physical body. I don't believe your parents ever sat you down and explained to you how to walk or talk, or blink, or breathe. There's a lot of stuff you know, you understand and you know how to do and it's never ever been explained or taught to you. Most of what is meta-physics is subconscious or unconscious thinking. You already have a very well developed meta-physic because you've been going through life cycles repeatedly and a lot of stuff you know and understand comes through your extra-sensory perception and spirit.

Why do people die?
How do birds fly?
Why can't I stay up as late as you?
Where does water come from?
What makes thunder?
Why are people mean to each other?
How was I made?
What does 'we can't afford it' mean?

These are examples of questions small children ask their parents. Naturally mindful, mystical and shamanistic, children generally figure most things out about their environment and their physical reality significantly before they get educated. If you have children you know what I'm writing about here. Small children usually seem to figure out society without understanding core concepts such as money, time, the Government, law, and the only possible way they can do this is through the unconscious and subconscious and by using a meta-physic. You did the same thing. I did. How adults used to talk about themselves and each other used to fascinate me. It's how I developed an interest in the human condition and mysticism at a very young age.

The felt sense of immediate experience and memory

You see when someone who is close to you dies, you are overcome with shock, grief, numbness. This is why there is a polarity between love and death. Human beings die all the time. But see unless you have a conscious connection to that other person you do not mourn or grieve their death. Sure you may feel sad. Disappointed. But it's not anywhere near the scale of grief and loss you feel from say, losing your mother or your father. Or grandparents.

When you stop and think about what you miss about not having them around, it's not just physical intimacy or contact. It's also the range of consciousness based emotions and feelings you got from the conscious connection and bond, and you also feel a sense of emptiness or space in your conscious awareness.

Okay so let's expand on this awareness. You also have people coming into your life which you 'connect' to and quite often there's no rational basis for the connection. These could be new friends. A new boss. It could be a neighbour. Someone who you connect to. It's also quite often someone who turns up out of nowhere and makes your life easier - again without any rational explanation.

All these are examples of soulmates. It's the people who come out of nowhere to make your life easier or share some insight. To help you get through life. Or the people you connect to. You can't explain it. Neither can they. But the connection is there and it sometimes feels like you've known each other for years like old friends. Which is probably true, only not in this current incarnation.
