from Jesus:
This is a complex question that does not have a simple answer. The reason
being that because most people are used to thinking in linear terms,
it is difficult for them to envision the reality of the soul. Most people
can understand that they have a soul that embodies their physical body.
Yet it is easiest for them to see a sort of one-on-one relationship
between the body and soul. In other words, they believe that the soul
is a separate entity with clearly defined boundaries that makes it separate
from a larger reality. For example, many people envision the soul as
being an invisible counterpart of the body or as being a clearly defined
energy field around the body. In other words, they see the soul as being
defined by distinct boundaries, just as the body is defined by such
boundaries.
In reality, the soul does not have as clearly defined boundaries as
the physical body. The soul is always connected to the spiritual self,
the I AM Presence. However, a soul is also part of a larger soul. This
is a concept that can be difficult for people to understand, and it
is especially difficult for people in the Western world. In the East,
you find several religions that teach that there is only one soul, called
the Atman. Originally, there was only one soul, and this soul has then
divided itself into a hierarchy of souls, or beings, that stretch all
the way from the original Atman to every human being. In other words,
you do not exist as a separate entity floating around in space. You
are part of a hierarchy of souls that ultimately reach all the way back
to God. This does not mean that your soul has no individuality. It means
that you are part of a group of souls with a common origin.
One way to explain this is to say that the nature of God is to grow
and expand. To do this, God must transcend itself and become more than
it was before. This also applies to the original soul. There came a
point when the Atman transcended itself and became more than it was,
meaning that it divided itself. Each of the divisions eventually transcended
themselves and divided again, and so on in an almost unlimited chain
of being.
What happens in this division is that a part is separated out from the
original whole. That part is smaller than the original whole, yet it
is big enough to have enough consciousness to have a sense of individual
identity. In other words, the part can take on a life of its own and
start growing until it too can transcend itself and divide. If you want
a physical example of this process, you can look at the process of how
a human fetus grows from one cell into a complete physical body. I am
not saying that this is an exact representation of how souls are formed.
Yet it does illustrate the principle that the one divides and eventually
becomes a larger whole made up of many individual parts. Likewise, your
soul is part of the "body" of God on Earth.
So what you see now is that there is a natural process that allows for
soul division. When this process occurs, the soul part that is separated
from the whole always has enough consciousness, enough soul substance,
to build and maintain a separate sense of identity and continuity of
consciousness. However, as explained in my discourse on schizophrenia,
the current imperfect conditions on planet Earth give rise to the risk
that a soul can be divided prematurely. When such a premature division
occurs, a soul might split into two parts, but none of them are whole
in themselves. In other words, when the natural division occurs, both
parts are whole and have a complete sense of identity. In the premature
division, there are several scenarios:
- Let us call the one scenario
soul division. In this scenario the soul splits into two parts, and
both of them have enough soul substance to retain a separate sense
of identity. In that case it is possible that the two soul parts will
continue to grow and evolve independently of each other. Although
none of the two parts are whole, it is possible that they can eventually
grow into becoming whole souls. In that case, they can continue to
grow independently of each other and eventually ascend as two different
souls.
- Let us call the second
scenario soul fragmentation. In this case a soul splits off one or
many smaller fragments, none of which have enough soul substance to
retain a sense of identity. It is possible that the soul can fragment
in so many different parts that none of the fragments can grow and
become whole again. However, it is more common that a number of smaller
fragments split off from the soul, and the original soul retains enough
soul substance to maintain its sense of identity and eventually grow
back to wholeness. If a soul fragment does not have enough soul substance
to maintain a sense of identity, it cannot grow by its own internal
force. Therefore, the soul fragment will become stuck and cannot grow
on its own.
The important point here
is that when the soul has fragmented into smaller parts that do not
have a separate sense of identity, these fragments can become stuck
in various places or even stuck in the place called time. And because
the fragments still maintain a certain tie to the soul, this can indeed
become a dead weight that holds the soul back. Imagine that your soul
is a ship and a soul fragment is like an anchor that is tied to the
ship with a chain. If you throw a number of anchors from the ship that
become stuck in the bottom of the ocean, obviously that will slow down
the ship's progress. So it is very important for the soul to recover
all soul fragments.
There are a number of spiritual rituals and psychological techniques
that can help the soul retrieve and reintegrate soul fragments. I highly
recommend that all sincere spiritual seekers study the topic of the
fragmentation of the soul and employ various techniques for retrieving
soul fragments. One of the most efficient rituals that you can practice
on your own is the East-West
Rosary given by Mother Mary. If you will follow her recommendation
of giving the miracle rose six days of the week and the East-West Rosary
on the seventh day, you will indeed make tremendous progress in terms
of retrieving soul fragments.
However, you can speed up the progress by employing other techniques.
You will notice in Mother
Mary’s dictation that she explains how the spiritual poisons
will fill up the vacuum left by a soul fragment so there is no room
for the soul fragment to return. Therefore, you need to remove these
poisons, and this is partly a matter of choosing not to engage in the
poisons and partly a matter of transforming the negative energy of the
poisons. The rosaries are designed to transform this energy, but so
are the Violet Flame decrees
given on this website. Likewise, I highly recommend that people employ
techniques for spiritual protection
so they seal their energy fields from being invaded by the poisons,
which are truly misqualified energies. It is also important to protect
yourself from non-material beings, such as entities
or demons.
Another essential part of reclaiming soul fragments is the love of your
heart. As you grow on the path, your heart will form a magnet that will
draw soul fragments back home. However, before your heart can become
a magnet of love, you must have a certain level of wholeness. In other
words, while your soul is still badly fragmented, your heart cannot
hold enough love to draw soul fragments back. That is why you must start
by clearing poisons and protecting your energy field from the energies
that prevent God's love from flowing through you. This is also why you
need to invoke the assistance of spiritual beings, such as the Dhyani
Buddhas that you invoke in the East-West Rosary,
As explained in the book The Inner Path of Light, an important
part of the healing process is that you need to make better decisions
than you have made in the past and you need to replace imperfect decisions
from the past. This requires you to go back and reexperience the decision
that caused your soul to fragment. As I explain throughout this website,
everything in this universe is subject to your free will. There are
malicious forces who will seek to violently fragment your soul. Yet
these forces, as powerful as they might seem to human beings, still
cannot fragment your soul against your free will. So they must trick
you into making a decision that causes the fragmentation of your soul.
As I explained in the discourse and schizophrenia, the soul has two
main functions. One is to experience the world of form, and the other
is to help co-create the world a form. So the dark forces seek to manipulate
you into situations where your soul decides that it either does not
want to experience that situation or it does not want to be a co-creator
in that situation. This then is the key decision that causes the fragmentation
of the soul. For example, when you experience a very traumatic situation,
such as being in a war or being raped, your soul might decide that it
does not want to go through that experience, and this causes a part
of your soul to split off while another part remains with the physical
body.
The fragment that is split off now seeks to hide from the experience,
and in so doing it often becomes stuck at a particular level of the
world of form. To fully retrieve and reintegrate that fragment, you
might need to go back and reexperience the original situation so that
you can now decide that you do not need to fear experiencing the pain
of the situation. You can go through the pain of the situation without
fear, and in so doing you can free the soul fragment to return home.
This is a process that can be greatly assisted through various forms
of therapy that allow you to experience the painful situation in a safe
environment and with the guidance of a qualified therapist.
There are many places where soul fragments can become stuck. One of
the most common places is the material world itself. For example, many
houses are said to be haunted by former owners. The reason is that a
substantial soul fragment of a former owner has become attached to that
house. If the soul fragment is not large enough to maintain a separate
sense of identity, it cannot evolve, and therefore it remains attached
to the house for a very long period of time.
Another common place for souls to remain stuck is in what is often called
the psychic or astral realm. As I explained elsewhere,
this is part of the world of form but it is not visible to the physical
senses. This realm is a perversion of the emotional body, and it is
in this realm you find a large number of malicious entities, such as
demons. These entities have literally created pockets in the astral
realm that are very similar to the visions of hell that various people
have had throughout the ages. If you have soul fragments stuck in one
of these astral hells, then it will behoove you to make a sincere effort
to retrieve them.
Take note that because the astral realm is a perversion of the emotional
body, the soul fragments stuck here are the result of highly emotional
and traumatic situations. It is in such situations that the soul experiences
fear and emotional pain and therefore seeks to hide from the experience.
What I would recommend is that people apply the rosaries and apply any
additional decrees as they feel the need. On top of this, use my technique
for inner attunement, and I
highly recommend the 33-day vigil,
to gain an intuitive insight from your Christ self as to whether you
need to do anything more to reclaim soul fragments. If you feel the
inclination, by all means study various books on this topic, especially
the book I recommend in the discourse on schizophrenia. As you gain
a clearer picture of the topic of the fragmentation of the soul, you
might receive an impulse to engage in various forms of therapy. If so,
by all means follow that impulse.
Because it is so individual which form of therapy will work best for
a particular person, I do not want to make a general recommendation.
There is an old saying which states that when the student is ready,
the teacher appears. When you are ready for a specific form of therapy
for soul retrieval, your Christ self will tell you what you need to
do. Simply remain open to inner direction.
Let me say that there is hardly anything that compares to the healing
power of having a substantial soul fragment returned to your soul. It
can literally heal you instantly from problems that you have suffered
since childhood and often for many lifetimes. As I have said before,
if the techniques that are available today had been in existence 2,000
years ago, I would of had all my disciples engage in some form of therapy
aimed at soul retrieval. Consequently, I would like my present disciples
to also consider such therapy because it truly will open up for your
wholeness and your service to me and to God. And because your soul is
part of a larger whole, by healing yourself, you will help heal the
whole.
