Part 5. The traveling soul

In this installment, a more in-depth understanding of the Soul will be shared. These later installments are related to one of many questions, asked by a participant who attended an Inter-Faith talk, titled Journey of the Soul.

Last week a reader of this blog telephoned me and wanted to know why journey of the soul. He was wondering whether Journey meant travelling and if so, how was the soul travelling and to where? This is an investigative question.
In this installment besides sharing more understanding as to how to prepare and develop the soul in this life if it is to reach and live eternally in Paradise, the meaning of journey will be mentioned in some detail.

It is true! You are a soul. As a soul you are a a traveller in this life. Any traveller must know where one has come from and where that one is going to. Every soul associated with the human body is a traveller in this life; in this human dimension. Every soul in this human dimension arrived here after it has finished travelling with a developing body while in the womb-world of the mother. The travel in the womb-world lasted about nine months plus or minus. That travelling began from conception. Conception began when the ovum met the sperm. This union brought about the formation of a zygote. This zygote as it travelled through time, in the womb-world of the mother progressively developed into a foetus, then into a child.

The second part of the journey of the soul begins when the body of the child enters this human dimension. This part of the jouney of the soul will last until the body dies!

When the body dies, the soul that has been travelling associated with thebody, will then disassociate itself and begin its eternal travel in the spiritual world.

The body which is the physical entity of a human being and a vehicle for the soul dies at the end of its journey in this human dimension. The soul which is the spiritual entity of a human being and which is immortal, disassociates from the body-vehicle and enters the spiritual world, to begin its eternal travel there.

There is a purpose why the soul is travelling, firstly in the womb-world of the mother, secondly in this human world, and thirdly in the eternal spiritual world. The purpose for which the soul, travels in the womb-world is to energise the moulding of a developing human body-vehicle because the soul will need such a visible vehicle to travel in this visible material world.

The purpose why the soul is travelling with the human body-vehicle in this human dimension, is to experience by choice and in deeds the development of its spiritual faculties. This the soul does, to enable it to reach, to serve God, and live eternally in heavenly conditions in the spiritual world.

The purpose of the eternal journey of the soul in the spiritual world, is to use its developed spiritual faculties as it is drawn nearer to God, and submitting to His Will, empowers the manifestation of a divine civilisation of planet earth.

To be nearer to God is a condition of existence. It is not a place. The word Heaven used in the past revelations was mistakenly understood as a place. Imagination ran wild and interpretation broke the bounds of rationality to describe Heaven in such a way that not being in Heaven was tantamount to be living in eternal remorse; in Hell.

The soul associated with the body-vehicle is travelling all the time. Travelling through time and space. Travelling through acquisition of knowledge. Travelling around as the planet whirls on its axis. Travelling round the orbit of the sun. It is travelling forward all the time.

Meet any traveller and the questions you will ask the person is: Where are you from? Where are you going? As you become more friendly, you ask: What is the purpose of your travel? Why are you going there? Every traveller will know how to answer these questions. Only someone who is deranged perahaps, will not know what is the purpose of the travel!

Beguiled by believing that you the soul is the body, and so you are material only and that your main concern in this life should be to reach material excellence, no matter what, the lifestyle that follows results in living a life worse than that of animals .In the animal kingdom there is no prejudice because of difference in the color of the skin, because of gender difference, because of species difference etc. In the human world, all manner of prejudices have become the cause of wars, crimes, and tragic sufferings! All these intolerable situations can be attributed to a human being not aware of the true reality that gives human life a purposefullnes for existence! Unless and until such an ignorance which is related to not knowing who one is, is completely eradicated from minds, will it be posible to usher in unity, peace, prosperity and happiness of mankind!

Now you know that you; the soul, is a traveller in this human existence. Where have you come from? You have come from God, the Almighty Creator of all that exists in the universe. Where were you before you appeared in this world? You the soul was associated with the body of the growing child in the womb-world of your mother. For how long did you travel in the world of the womb of your mother? You travelled in the womb of your mother for a period of time of about nine months. What was the purpose of your travelling in the womb of your mother? You were travelling in the womb of your mother in order to energise the development of your body What were you energising and why? You were energising the development of your body in the womb-world of your mother. You were energising the development of your body so that the body will develop body-faculties in order to be useful to you when you and your body leaves the womb-world. What body-faculties? You were energising the development of body-faculties like eyes, nose, ears, limbs, organs, brain etc. What was the need for you to develop a body in the womb-world? The reason why you developed a body is to use it as a vehicle to travel in the next (in this) human, material, seeing world, from birth to the death of your body! Why a seeing body? You are an unseen spiritual soul and so you needed a seeing material body! Can your body develop any body-faculties in the human world? No that is not possible. Your body in the seeing human world can only grow what has been developed in the womb-world of the mother. What example can impress the reality of growth and development? Take for example the eyes. The eyes must first develop in the womb-world, before your body enters this human world. If the eyes have not developed in the womb-world, you will enter this world blind. Even if you become a king or a queen you will still be a blind king or queen. You will then remain blind until the body ends its journey in this human world!

How can this question and answer session help us to reach Paradise? In truth you are now in the womb world of this planet earth, in this human dimension. It is only for a temporary period that you will live in this human dimension. Your eternal life will be when you leave this temporary existence and enter the spiritual world.

Your life in this human dimension can be compared to the nine months plus or minus period in the womb world of the mother. In the womb world of your mother you prepared your body to develop body-faculties for the purpose of travelling in this human world. Now in this human world you the soul, must develop spiritual faculties in order to live eternally nearer to God; in Paradise! Following the trend in the question and answer session you will know how important it is to develop you the soul, before you enter the spiritual world. In the spiritual world there is no developemnt of the soul. In the spiritual world, it is an eternal journey; a journey with what the soul has developed here in this life. Since there is no further development of soul faculties once the soul leaves this human world, it is very important for the soul to choose to develop spiritual faculties NOW, during its journey in this human world!

Justice which stands on two pillars. The two pillars are that of reward and punishment. These two dictate the fact that if the soul has developed spiritual faculties it will be rewarded. On the other hand if the soul has not developed spiritual faculties, it will assuredly attract punishment and this punishment will be to exist eternally in a lower state, that of Hell!

It is indeed a frightening thought. It is not a thought that is thrust upon any individual. This Truth has always existed for any individual who chooses to want to know! This Truth has been manifested with so much of love for the good of all the chldren of God! But if these children (Every human being) have made a choices, not to want to know anything else (Their true self) but only that which is material, (Body, Wealth, Power), the blame for wrong choices cannot be attributed to the Almighty Creator!

No one is perfect. No one will leave this world perfect. There are so many imperfections in all of us. It is the imperfections that when recognised must motivate the self to make corrections. Ours the duty to know the self, to know what is right and what is wrong and to daily mould the self to indulge in what is right; right in thoughts, words, and deeds!

Dear reader, everything that is shared with you have been resarched for more than 40 years in an independent search for the Truth. These are not ideas of the author of this blog. The author is only a channel passionately dedicating the rest of his life, to share the Truth, to make the body of mankind free from all kinds of spiritual diseases, so that when the time comes our children and unborn future generations can inherit a better world as a gift from all of us living during these testing times! May our hopes and prayers cause to attract bountiful blessings from On High, in order to empower all of us, guide all of us, inspire all of us, and protect all of us while we spend the fast disappearing time span allocated to each and every human being; time to know our self and in deeds involve in a methodology to develop our selves in order to be attracted the moment we enter the spiritual world, to live eternally in Paradise!

In the next installment: We will continue to explore more about the soul and the conditions to be met to enable the soul to travel along the right Highway of Life, to reach and enter the spiritual world to live there eternally nearer to God!
