from Jesus:
It requires a great deal
of delicacy, and non-attachment of mind to bridge the language barrier
between different religions or spiritual traditions. What one religion
characterizes with one word might be the same thing that another religion
characterizes with a different word. So, truly, one can say that everything
is mind because where does the soul come from? Well, it comes from the
mind. It comes from your greater mind, your greater Self and it was
created after the conscious you started to experiment with the duality
consciousness. So one might say that it is created out of your mind.
In a sense, we could say that Tibetan Buddhism is correct but this does
not necessarily mean that other traditions that talk about a soul are
incorrect. They are simply using a different word for the same thing.
Because, truly, even in Buddhism, there must be a vehicle of the mind
that descends into the physical body and interacts with the physical
body.
In terms of soul fragmentation, the real cause of this fragmentation
is that you experience a situation here in the dense energies of the
material world that the conscious you does not want to go through. You
are all familiar with the concept that you are more than your physical
body, so most of you have been used to saying that your soul inhabits
the body. It is almost like a hand fitting in the glove or it is like
when you get into your car and drive. You know you are not the car but
that the car is a vehicle that takes you places in the physical octave.
Likewise, the soul is a vehicle for the Conscious You that the Conscious
You has entered into in order to be able to survive in the material
realm and interact with the body. The challenge is whether the Conscious
You identifies itself with the soul or whether it realizes that it is
more than the soul.
If you are fully identified with the soul and then you experience a
situation that either gives you fear or other negative feelings, the
conscious you might decide that it will not take responsibility for
that situation. It wants to withdraw and hide from the experience. As
it does so, the soul, as its vehicle, fragments and a part of the energy
of the soul withdraws into a little hole that it creates for itself,
where it can hide from the experience that it cannot bear.
This energy will remain there until it is set free. And in some cases
the energy might be attached to a specific place in time or a specific
place in the material universe. For example, some soul fragments can
be attached to a house where a person lived and that is what some people
call ghosts. However, ghosts can also be disembodied spirits that are
not soul fragments.
The key to returning such a soul fragment is that the Conscious You
realizes who it is and realizes that even though in the past it made
the decision to avoid a particular experience, it can undo that decision.
And then it can relive the experience with its greater sense of identity,
whereby the experience will be much easier to bear. You all know this
because you think back to your childhood and you can see that there
were certain situations in which you felt very afraid. Perhaps you were
afraid to go to sleep without the lights on. Or you were afraid to walk
down the hallway at night. And now you look back as an adult and you
say, “There was nothing to be afraid of. Why was I afraid?”
Likewise, the Conscious You, as it begins to identify itself as it truly
is, namely a spiritual being, can come to that same sense, that the
experience that seemed so traumatic to it in the past really is not
that difficult to bear now. Thus, by reliving the experience, you can
free that part of the soul that is tied up in a ball trying to avoid
the experience.
Thereby, your soul can become whole. And only when the soul is whole
can the energies of the soul be raised back up to the higher vibrations
that the energy had before the Conscious You lowered the vibration through
the dualistic beliefs that you came to accept.
