The attempt below to describe the
Soul, Spirit and their manifestation in Reality is Theory. Its based
on observations, visions, and teachings from guides that I have met
along the way. This is my “Theory to date”. It is evolved out of
teaching from Shaman, Yogic, Gnostic Christian, and Sufi traditions
that I have been exposed to. For a Theory to be practical, it must be
subjected to testing and experimentation. I publish this in order for
others to test it against their direct experience.
Spirit Elements
At the core of our being is Singularity
or Soul. It is pure existence. It is consciousness
without thought, without judgment. Our spiritual, mental and
physical manifestations take form like the celestial clouds of matter
and electromagnetic forces swirling around the center of a galaxy.
Our Soul- Singularity exists in a unique position in Time and Space.
No two Singularities can exist from the same perspective. Yet, all
Singularities interconnect to the same, One Singularity where all
Creation originates.
Our existence in Creation manifests as
Spirit/Thought/Physicality with Soul at its center. We assume unique
characteristics from multitudes of possible elemental combinations
derived from the four Elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water).
These Elements have powerful
symbolic significance with respect to Spirit, Mind and Body. In the physical realm, they correlate to the states of matter; Solid,
Liquid, Gas and Plasma.
As in the world of chemistry, each of
the Four Elements can assume innumerable characteristics within
themselves on all three planes (Spirit,Mind,Physical), making endless
possible combinations and elemental reactions. This is attributable
to the diversity and uniqueness of each of us on each of our planes
of existence.
As
Thinking, Living, Spirit Beings, our relationship with Creation is
series of interactions with other Spirit/Mind/Physical entities.
These interactions can be complementary, neutral or harmful to us.
We continue to exist as long as sufficient boundaries are established
to insure that any harmful interactions do not destroy us.
Since ancient times, Shamanic
traditions have described the Medicine Wheel as a symbol of an
individual or tribal existence. Ceremonies establish the Wheel's
existence and its orientation with all directions. Then the
Individual or Tribe invites in elements and spirit guides that offer
guidance, strength and sustenance.
This tradition exists in literally
every culture around the world. It is a powerful symbol of our “Inner
Circle “ of our existence. It proclaims a protective boundary from
external elemental “Spirits”. External spirits and elements that are “invited”
in, are carefully selected to nourish, protect and guide us on our
individual and collective Journey.
On the physical plane, our body's skin
acts as the boundary of our physical self. Our blood flows to nourish
the cells contained therein and provide defenses against foreign
diseases. Yet, to survive, we breathe air and take in food to nourish
and sustain ourselves.
This is true on the Mental and
Spiritual planes as well. It is true with every relationship within
the Manifest world on every plane of existence. We cannot exist in a
vacuum. We must interact with Creation to survive and thrive.
However, without clear boundaries and clear discrimination with
regards to WHAT we interact with, negative or destructive
relationships occur that can weaken or destroy us.
Our Spiritual Journey IS a
Relationship with Creator. On this Journey we have reactions
and interactions with external Elemental Entities within
Creation. These reactions occur on the Physical,
Thought and Spirit planes. As we become more intentional about our
Journey, we become conscious of the resulting dangers and rewards
from our interactions. We learn to take more risks to expose
ourselves to more interactions. As a result we either benefit or
suffer.
In spite of the fact that Humanity has
the propensity to eat food that is poison, pollute the air and water
with elements that do not sustain life, and embrace Political,
Religious and Spiritual teachings devised to invade our Spirit
Boundaries making us weak and subservient to their
hierarchies - We manage to survive.
Creation protects life in spite of
these destructive intentions. The power that existed at the moment
of Creation and exploded from the first Singularity, established a
powerful and miraculous LifeForce. This
LifeForce reverberates in everything. It
reverberates in every particle, in every heart beat, in every breath
It is the source of every thought and feeling. It's power is the
reason that we continue to exist, in spite of the odds. Our very
Existence, is our birthright, given by Creator at the
moment of Creation, to Thrive and embrace our
Journey!
While we've created so many
distractions that would seem to drain our LifeForce and
cause our ultimate destruction, True Spirituality, in
the purest and most ancient sense, has always existed in plain sight.
True Spirituality
reinforces rather than destroys Spirit Boundaries.
True
Spirituality IS our direct relationship with Creation
and its multitude of entities and elements.
True Spirituality places
the Infinite Journey at
our feet to embark upon at every instance of time.
While this is a Personal Journey,
it is also a Collective Journey, where all that is
manifest in Creation reacts and interacts physically, mentally and
spiritually. All share a common connection to the Singularity which
began as One, and, at the instant of Creation, replicated countless
copies of itself across all Universes. Each Singularity experiences
Creation from its unique perspective. Each performs in a precarious
and miraculous Dance of Life, where elements collide,
combine, react, create and destroy. It is the Dance of Is-Ness.
It
is a Dance where each, in its own unique way, dances as One!
