from Jesus:
Your soul is not traumatized from your original spiritual birth, because
that was the birth of your spiritual self or I AM Presence. That birth
happened before your soul came into existence.
Your soul was created by your I AM Presence as a vehicle for experiencing
and acting in the material universe. Your soul was not traumatized when
it was created, but the soul does have a challenge that is inherent
in its existence. It has to figure out how to maintain a sense of individuality
while at the same time being a part of a larger whole, including the
I AM Presence and the entire body of God. This is a challenge that the
soul usually takes a long time to resolve. This happens gradually as
the soul matures and defines its own sense of identity as a result of
the experiences it has in the material world. This challenge is not
fully resolved until the soul attains spiritual mastery, as described
in my discourse on the levels of spiritual
attainment.
Your soul is traumatized from what some people call the original birth,
but which was in reality the fall into a lower state of consciousness.
This caused your soul to see itself as separated from the I AM Presence.
This event did cause many souls to feel abandoned by God, but the reality
of the situation is that your soul was not abandoned by God. Your soul
turned away from God and the I AM Presence, and because God respects
your free will, he could do nothing to interfere with your choice.
Once separated from God, it is possible that a soul can believe that
it did not exist before this separation. Therefore, the soul might see
the separation as its original birth. However, the separation from God
was not the birth of the soul; it was the birth of the ego.
God created you uniquely but there is no competition and no sense of
conflict between your I AM Presence and the I AM Presence of any other
lifestream. The clash that occurs between many people is not a clash
between their spiritual selves or even between their souls. It is a
clash between their human egos and their carnal minds. To gain a deeper
understanding of these concepts, read the second part of the book The
Inner Path of Light. It explains in great detail the relationship
between the soul and the human ego and how the soul can overcome the
sense of abandonment and all sense of conflict by leaving behind the
ego.
God created your lifestream as a unique facet in a beautiful diamond.
Each facet is unique but it is also part of the diamond. Each facet
enhances the whole, yet the whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Therefore, the facet is complete only when it sees itself as being both
unique and part of a larger whole. In other words, the differences between
you and other souls do not degrade or compete with your uniqueness.
The fact that other souls are different only enhances your uniqueness.
As long as a soul is connected to its I AM Presence, it can see itself
as part of a larger whole without feeling threatened by differences.
When the soul loses this connection, it no longer sees a connection
between itself and other people, and that becomes the open door for
the sense of competition and conflict.
God created your lifestream with unique characteristics because God
wanted you to bring a gift to this universe that no other lifestream
could possibly bring. You have the potential to be a co-creator with
God here on Earth and to bring a unique and uniquely precious gift to
the forward movement of humankind.
I admit that once the soul has descended into a lower state of consciousness,
individuality can pose a major challenge. Yet it is the sense of separation
that creates the challenge, and by walking the spiritual path and attaining
personal Christhood, a soul can reestablish its connection to the spiritual
self. Thereby, you will begin to focus your attention on expressing
your unique individuality and become less concerned about the actions
and beliefs of other people. You will focus on being who you are, and
you will let other people be who they are—or who they choose to
be at the moment. You will be and let the. That is the key to peace
of mind.
