Old Soul OR Somewhere in Between

Copyright by: Matt Vooro

Once you become spiritually inclined and seek a link with your inner self, curiosity about one’s soul experience and history takes on a new interest.

Am I a new Soul or an older Soul on this planet people often asks?

Without having achieved soul communications yet, are there traits that would point the way? 

The following general guidelines given below in summary only There are seven further sublevels at each age group.

Infant Soul; is survival oriented, primitive, fearful, unsure of right and wrong, little ethics and morality, intuitive, earthly and simple

Baby Soul; seeks structure, rules, order, law, traditions, rituals, discipline, familiarity, likes to follow.

Young Soul; is driven by career goals, success, fame, glory, power, material wealth, independence, ambition, and acclaim.

Mature Soul; is interested in inner emotions, relationships, arts, creativity, intense feelings, and inner explorations.

Old Soul; seek more worldly interests, sees interrelatedness in all, teaches, is calm, self centered, unemotional, multi talented [when needed], explores and feels comfortable with many religions, seeks peace and promotes the environment.

Transcedental Soul; is a soul who has previously completed the school of earthly life and has volunteered to come back to help and teach. The soul is more worldly, galactic and cosmic oriented, shows deep planetary and environmental concern sees unity in all things and has a link with higher energies. Is deeply compassionate

Infinite Soul; is a manifestation of part of the highest levels of the God Force, like the Spirit of Christ in Jesus or Buddha.

About 95 % of all the Souls on earth are Earth Souls.

An approximate breakdown of the general population is as follows:

Infant Souls 10%,

Baby Souls 23%,

Young Souls 32%,

Mature Souls 26%

 Old Souls 11%.

Only about 10% of the old Souls are in their final incarnation stage [seventh] prior to ascension.

We All Have a Divine Light Within Us

We should seek the kingdom of our Soul within us first. It is our personal contact to the God source. We require no guru, church or middleman to contact the God source within.

The Church and others can offer us guidance on how to go about it especially if they themselves are so enlightened however; we must find that Divine spark within us ultimately.

The true purpose of any religious group is to guide their followers to discover their own God source within, the Soul.

The Soul reveres the God Force in all things, respects all life and strives for planetary care.

This will be the guidance for all of us in the future.

Why is This Individual Soul Contact so Important Now?

Our Soul growth requires us to attune daily to the inner Self, our Soul, and discover our own personal guidance which is ours alone to follow.

There is so much information and misinformation from various sources that we must be inwardly advised what plan or path is right for us alone.

No universal plan or path exists for all.

We must tune into our own God presence within.

Future world events may be confusing, unexpected and rapid and without a daily inner guidance we will not be prepared to handle these sudden world or local events.

Volumes of books have been written on this subject of Soul contact and Soul search.

This article is only a very brief and simplified introduction written to twig the interest of new Soul searchers who are seeking something more meaningful in their life.

What is a Soul

Copyright by: Matt Vooro

What Is A Soul:
The dictionary defines a soul as the animating or the divine principle of life, the moral and spiritual side of man related to God. Soul essence is one of intelligent energy and consciousness that lives in a physical form temporarily. Without our soul energy, life forms could not exist on our planet. They would be inanimate objects. All of God’s creatures have souls whether it is an individual soul or a group soul. Each person’s soul is equally pure at the time of the soul’s birth. Where we differ is in our original intention or definition and our subsequent soul history or different number of incarnations.

Our soul is cosmic in purpose, design and construction. It is not our ego, personality, mind, emotions, brain or the physical body. The soul is the spiritual, multi-dimensional and eternal part of us. All souls are made of cosmic energy that comes from the Holy Spirit. Hence souls are made of the same stuff or likeness as God although our soul’s energy is at a much lower frequency. Deep within we are made of the same Stuff.


TYPES OF SOULS:

There are several types of souls present here on earth.

Celestial Souls;
These are souls that are not associated or formed from the cosmic energies around of any particular planet or Galaxy. They are celestial in purpose and origin providing divine assistance and service to many worlds. Angels are typical celestial souls.

Galactic Souls;
These are souls birthed for the various planets and stars in the various galaxies. Originally there was one soul created for every star. This changed when it became necessary to provide souls for life forms that were able to pro-create on earth. All of man’s original ancestor souls were galactic or from other planets in our solar system.

Earth Souls;
Souls birthed specifically for planet earth and from the cosmic energies of earth. They were created later after about 7 million years ago when the need for additional earth souls was necessary.

Group Souls;
Souls whose energies inhabit different animal species and other life forms like birds, reptiles, etc. Animals do not have individual souls like humans do. Animals have a group soul for each different species.

Dreaming And The Soul:
When we dream, we set aside our physical senses, our conscious mind and slow down the frequency of our brainwaves. Part of our higher consciousness or our soul including the astral and mental bodies leave the physical body and are free to contact the various spirit realms according to its evolution and experience. During sleep the lower etheric body acts as the ballast or anchor for the higher consciousness and etheric body, while the latter travels in the dream worlds. Many dreamers, including the writer, have actually seen during sleep this etheric silvery chord which maintains the link between the body and the travelling higher consciousness in our dreams, Contact with the greater part our soul consciousness and its various past incarnations becomes now possible during the dream state. Dreaming is soul power in action in the higher spirit planes. Sleep is a state of consciousness in which higher soul activities are practiced. Sleep is a special time when the soul can recall its real spiritual existence.

Soul Origins:
Most of the first ancestor souls came from planets and star systems outside our solar system .A small number came from Venus and Saturn in our own solar system. Most of the first souls came from Pleiades, Sirius, and Orion. A smaller number came from other parts of our Milky Way Galaxy and some even from outside our Galaxy. There were about 11 million volunteer souls who came here about 8 million years ago. Now there are trillions of souls throughout the cosmos. Silver Ray is the creator of all souls. Silver Ray is the Life Giving and Nurturing aspect of God and is one of the two first born of the Creator. Souls are cosmic energy that has been given the spark or element of permanence and life. This means that atomic particles of cosmic energy are fused, condensed and amplified or raised to ultrasonic high frequencies within Silver Ray. Souls have what is called an Eternal Sustaining Atom.

When planet Earth was ready for the seeding of life forms, there was a divine call for volunteer souls with prior scientific and botanical experiences to come to earth and help develop and steward various new life forms from all over the cosmos.
Even though the original souls were beams of cosmic energy, they had keen mental faculties and were able to move things by thought alone. They dwelled not on the planet but in space around the planet.

About 7 million years ago when the etheric life on this planet was interfered with by the Rebel Ray, Souls turned away from the Creator’s energy and lost some of their spiritual essence and light and their soul shrunk in size. Rebel Ray used mental arguments and enticements followed by sound technologies to bring about this disruption. This is what was called the �?fall �?which occurred after the ‘separation�?or turning away from God.

For each lifetime, the soul brings with it certain unique energies or special soul print, which it uses to accomplish its goal. This is called the ray of intention. The primary ray indicates the main purpose or intention and the supplementary rays help to round out the energies needed. For example some one with a blue main ray of intention will demonstrate mental abilities, scientific or technological skills in their life and will posses great problem solving skills. The red energy if present as a supplemental ray will give him the energy to see his or her projects through to completion.

Prior to any new incarnation, past lifetimes and record of the soul are reviewed ahead of time by the soul with its guides and teachers. The soul selects the goals to be accomplished and the challenges to be faced. The soul selects the parents and general circumstances for the new life.

Some souls select lifetimes on other star systems and other galaxies as well. Others misuse their opportunities when they have them and thus requiring more life times to correct their misdeeds and to accomplish self- mastery.

An old soul is one who has had a broad spectrum of experiences on this planet since its beginning. They have mastered what this planet is here to teach and have nearly completed their contract as an earth caretaker. Many are teachers and or spiritual guides, freely offering their energies and sharing their light with the younger souls.

When a person dies, its lesser etheric body or energy body also dies. However the higher etheric body with which one travels in dreams and which one inhabits between physical lives continues to live. Upon death of the lower etheric body, it imprints upon the immortal atoms of the higher etheric body, the complete history of the mental, emotional and physical actions of the personality during the past life. These actions determine the shape, size, and appearance of the physical body and the emotional and mental nature of the future life yet to be. One can, with affirmations and mental suggestions just prior to sleep, recall other lives of the soul. We often recall actions from prior lives of the soul in our dreams but fail to recognize these as such.

Contacting Our Soul:
An individual who does not follow the inner prompting of their soul is like student who is in the wrong class or skips lessons or school all together. To negate the soul plan for an incarnation may waste an entire lifetime, thus requiring another lifetime to correct. Personal suicide is a good example of a wasted life. The pressures or fears that caused the individual to take their life, will have to be faced again in the next life time until, the individual learns how deal correctly with life’s many lessons. You have to take the exam again and again until you get a passing grade.

Listening to the quiet prompting of the soul can take place through various means. Regular moments of meditation, quiet focus through music, yoga, a walk in the forest or sea side, dreams or moments of sheer inspiration are just a few; However, maintaining a period of quiet meditation of 20- 30 minutes every day works best for most. The use of a pendulum to make first contact with your subconscious and then your soul or higher self works also for some. Inner realty can speak to us in many ways. Each person needs to find out what works best for him or her individually. Soul prompting becomes more pronounced at an age of about 28- 35 years, when family and career patterns are more stable and set. An inner urging and desire to seek something new or more meaningful is often the sign of this stage. Your soul is urging you to again seek a link with it and perhaps change the pattern and direction of your life. People often make dramatic changes in their life at this time.

We All Have A Divine Light Within Us:
The Holy books have always taught us to seek the kingdom [of our soul] within us first. It is our personal contact to the God source. We require no guru, church or middleman to contact the God source within. Others can offer us guidance on how to go about it if they themselves are so enlightened, but we must find that Divine spark within ourselves ultimately. The soul reveres the God Force in all things, respects all life and strives for planetary care. This will be the guideline for all of us.

A Tool For Soul Communications,

The Pendulum

Copyright by: Matt Vooro

There is perhaps no spiritual technique that is more under valued than the use of the pendulum. Relatively easy to learn and safe to use, pendulum is one of the many keys to learn to communicate with our subconscious mind and through it to reach higher levels of awareness. Most of us receive a steady stream of information that does not come through the regular five physical senses.

Depending on one’s core belief system and sensitivity, these other messages may not reach the conscious mind or may be rejected by the conscious mind because of our inner programming. Why is it so important to communicate with one’s subconscious mind? Because it is the link to our superconscious mind and to the higher powers and the creative energies within us. It can help us to establish a link with our own Soul or the God Spark within us.

What is a pendulum?

A pendulum is basically any simple object or weight suspended on a string, which is held between the thumb and the first or forefinger]. The movement of the weight in response to questions provides a yes or no answer. The meaning of specific movements of the weight have been previously agreed upon by the pendulum operator and his/her subconscious.

The agreed upon meaning of the movements can also be expanded to include circular motion, forward and backward motion, left and right motion, series of directions or the use numbers. The pendulum acts like a very fine tuning device to a variety of frequencies and energies around us. It amplifies the signals detected by our nervous system and interprets the meaning of the message based on the codes already agreed upon up front.

The degree of attunement as well as accuracy of the answers obtained with this device depends on the sensitivity, training and spiritual evolvement of the operator.

The higher your consciousness, the higher the frequencies that the pendulum can pick up. However it does take some time to train and evolve the required sensitivity for this technique. For many, it can take a year or more to develop a degree of proficiency and trust with this device.

Where and how can I learn to use the pendulum?

It is not the intent here to write an article on how to use the pendulum for spiritual growth. There are many excellent books now on the market describing in detail how to do this. Greg Nielsen has presented some excellent material on this topic. 

The writer merely wishes to share his own positive experience in using this device to attune to his soul and to explore higher spiritual dimensions. For those just learning to attune to their soul vibration, the pendulum might be a technique worth looking into. Each of us needs to find our own special method that best works for us.

I have experimented with a variety of pendulum weights including crystals, other gemstones and various metal pendulums. I now prefer to use a wooden ebonite pendulum because of its response and lighter weight. I also experimented with different lengths of string and found that six inches of a good quality string worked the best for me.

The greatest accuracy was achieved on questions relating to the writer himself. Often I used the pendulum in conjunction with dream analysis and dream recall to seek guidance on interpreting dreams. The biggest challenge was to remain emotionally neutral and not try to influence the result in order to get the answer that I hoped for. Also phrasing my questions to keep them clear and specific was an initial hurdle.

Using the pendulum on my work desk where my PC hard drive, monitor, radio and low-level lamp are located was another big mistake. Asking for firm answers about the future where many probabilities still exist was another learning experience.

Getting different answers to the same question on different days was also troublesome until I understood that one might tune into different energies on different days. The pendulum was less accurate in areas that my personal knowledge was limited, or I felt uncomfortable with or I had an impure motive for asking the question. Had I purchased a good pendulum book up front, I could have avoided some of my problems.

Later I expanded the use of the pendulum to cover other issues of interest or concerns of mine. Still later I expanded the use further by asking the subconscious to connect me to my own soul frequencies and other dimensions.

This area is still one of trial and error and learning for me personally. Currently I have found that holding a selenite wand [about 3-4 inches long] in my left hand while using the pendulum in the right hand has greatly enhanced the communications with my higher consciousness. The use of a Dow quartz crystal [3-7-3-7-3-7 sides per face pattern] is also very powerful for certain type of communications for me.

Currently I try to maintain a daily dialogue with my soul and occasionally seek guidance and advice from other higher sources on other dimensions. Achieving soul contact does not mean full soul consciousness but it is a step in that direction.

In the past I have experimented with other spiritual techniques but speaking from a personal point of view only, I still found the best results for me when using the pendulum together with quiet meditation, mantramic prayers, and dream analysis. Jaguar wisdom and palmistry also gave consistently accurate and helpful results for me when analyzing inherit soul traits.

Reality speaks to each of us in many ways. Each of us needs to experiment and explore what works the best for us individually. We are all different and what works for one may be a real struggle for another.
The pendulum is a safe technique that can be used by almost anyone with a desire and discipline to make it work. 

Our physical body is like a pendulum connected to the silver cord of our etheric body. We just need to attune to the energies around and about us to get the messages. The pendulum is like a fine tuning device that helps us to do that.

Soul Communications

Copyright by: Matt Vooro

During this time of rapid change and outer chaos in our world, there will be an increasing need for each of us to master and practice regular Soul communications. Events during the next several years are going to be turbulent and unpredictable. Without inner Soul guidance, many of us may be swept away by the rising currents of political, economic, earth and climatic change. Unforeseen events due to the ending of major solar, galactic and cosmic cycles will precipitate immense and strange events that have never occurred in human history. General outside guidance will not be enough for us. Each of us needs to seek and listen to the inner guidance that is uniquely ours if we are to survive this chaotic period. Where should I live or move to in order to be safe? What type of employment should I pursue? Should I continue my current relationships? These are just some of the many questions that we might have. Our very survival may depend on what we do.

To understand Soul communications we need to understand that we are talking about communicating with another aspect of our selves that has direct links with Spirit and other finer dimensions. As a personality and a physical body, we are all energy projections or holographic projections of our individual Soul, Higher Self or Oversoul. They are all the same Spirit. Our Soul is a beam of high ultra –sonic frequency energy that vibrates at such a high rate that it becomes the spark that sustains our life. Our Soul was birthed by the Holy Spirit and the Soul was made in Its image and of the same God energy. ]So our personal link to the Creator is through our Soul which is the “Spirit of God that dwelleth in you �? The bible admonishes us to seek first the kingdom of God, [really the inner kingdom of the Soul]. It also tells us that the kingdom of God is really within us. Yet most people seek God outside of themselves, in churches and by praying to religious idols.

Max Freedom Long in his fine book called Growing into Light, said it best; namely, “The High Self is a part of ourselves. It is the highest of our three selves in man. It is the Guardian Angel, the Father Within, and the personal savior. All prayers, no matter whom addressed, and regardless of the multiplicity of gods and idols, can go to no place but the Higher Selves. This is one of the great secrets of all times. Mr. Long also said,
“Once recognized for what it is, the Higher Self will ever be ready to accept the invitation to guide and help us.�?

Now some of us have been getting inner e-mail from our Soul for a long time but very few of us take time to decipher the message or to even acknowledge that there even was a message. We quickly delete them or ignore them totally.

Our Soul tries to speak to us through dreams or inner thoughts planted during quiet periods or whenever the conscious mind is at rest and messages from the subconscious are more easily received. Soul impulses to the personality become more prominent during and after the age of 28 to 35. As Ann Ree Colton stated in her book The Draughts of Remembrance, “From the 33rd year to the 35th year something deep within �?between man and soul, soul and God �?presses forth and seeks to be heard.�?

This is the period when we choose to serve the idols of man or God. Perhaps you can remember that phase of your life and the deep desire for change that you felt. Many of us go to seek our fortune outside of ourselves rather than look for the treasures within. However the more we get caught up in the material world, the more will our personality push the whispers of the Soul to the background and the more difficult it will be for us to hear our Soul. This imbalance in the desires of the personality and the goals of Soul will create imbalance in our life and manifest as various forms of mental and emotional illnesses, For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul [St Matthew 16:26]
Perhaps we should define some of the terms that we have been using.

Higher Self or Soul:
Our Soul is eternal, spiritual, created by the Holy Spirit, projects part of its energies into many different parallel realities in order to learn and grow, has intelligence, grace and memory, has super conscious mind, very selective in what it remembers, has access to information from various spirit realms, its form is an energy beam or compact cosmic energy, multi-dimensional, has various spiritual and telepathic gifts, has specific purpose, goals and a contract to complete them, neither masculine nor feminine, in constant touch with the intelligence field of lower self, has higher discernment level than the lower self, has dominion over the entire package of lower, middle and higher self, ultimate decision maker, leaves many duties to middle and lower self to handle, our link to the Creator, we need to ask It to participate in our daily affairs

Middle Self:
Conscious mind, the reasoning mind, directs the subconscious mind, the builder, the programmer and gardener of our mind, plays the leadership role for our personality, key decision maker on the conscious plane,

Lower Self:
Subconscious mind, the non reasoning mind, memory bank, runs or operates the physical body, can communicate with others and send energy and thoughts to them, controls inner senses, computer, creates dreams, the genie of our bottle
Dreams are one of the tools that the Soul uses. Intuition and special moments of meditation and journalizing are tools that the personality can use to communicate with the Soul.

Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven [Matthew 18:3] The book Huna Code in Religion by Max Freedom Long teaches us that the path to our Higher Self or Soul is through the Lower Self or subconscious mind [often portrayed as a child]. Thus in order to communicate with this inner child we must learn the language of the inner child and thus become like a child.

Some individuals are already mastering this technique and can link up with their Soul during certain periods of the day. Techniques like the pendulum are ideal for linking first with the subconscious mind and then through the subconscious, to the super conscious mind and the Soul. The use of a Selenite wand will help here also. Gradually a link with the Soul can be bridged directly. By programming the subconscious mind to link up with our Soul and to seek answers for us, one can gradually learn to communicate with one’s Soul directly.
If you have never practiced communications with your Soul, below are some hints that the writer has found helpful.

1] Make a personal commitment to yourself and tell your Soul that from henceforth you want to work together and to receive Soul guidance. Above all love and accept yourself, as you are, a unique soul who chose to be here at this exciting time in human history. If you feel guilty about any past misdeeds, work at balancing this by helping others to offset any past misdeeds that may still bother you.

2] In your prayers ask for guidance on how to achieve Soul communications in a way best suited for you personally. Spirit cannot help you unless you ask first. Visualize your Soul being with you all day by selecting a form or symbol for your Soul. [A golden sun above you]

3] Set aside regular 20-30 minute moments of quiet mediation when the senses and the mind are stilled. Ask for specific guidance for yourself and then listen to your soul answers in quiet meditation. Ask your Soul “HOW SHALL WE DO THIS.�?Some write a letter to their Soul. Use regular affirmations during the day like, “My Soul [my link to the Creator] is always with me.�?BR>
4] Find out the best time for you. The writer was guided personally to meditate between 8 pm and 8 am when the daily chores and daily worries are at their lowest

5] Use music to still your mind. Some use regular place where they communicate with their Soul, like an altar or special place in your home.

6] Take regular walks in the woods or park by yourself and go over your concerns and listen to the thoughts that come. Nature will help you to defog your mind.

7] Keep a dream diary and learn to interpret your dreams. Ask for guidance before you fall asleep

8] There are many excellent books that help you to meditate, to cleans and heal the physical body and to clear any mental and emotional blocks. Again seek outside help if you are having any problems here

9] Experiment with various spiritual tools like the pendulum, various gemstones, Jaguar wisdom [Mayan] and palmistry to establish alternative communication techniques and to seek more information about your soul history.

10] Follow the principles of ASK, [Ask, Seek and Knock] Be open to new ideas, books and events that suddenly pop up around you as you seek answers.

11] Always protect yourself by mentally surrounding yourself with golden/ white light before meditation or dreaming. Always maintain and ask for protection.

12] Find new friends and groups that vibrate with the NEW you for YOU WILL CHANGE. You may go through several before you find the ones you really want to join. Learn to relate to others better. Learn to communicate with different people better by listening more.

13] Learn the language of a child [repetition, rhyme, simplicity, poetry, play, laughter, mantras, affirmations, etc]

Thus we see that soul communications will help each of us to achieve Soul and personality co-operation. Through this balance, the Soul can express it self-more fully during this critical period. Our Soul has a much larger field of vision and information, which it can communicate to the personality. Working together we are better able to survive the upcoming period of change.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live ; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David [Isa.53:3] For those who persevere in this spiritual pursuit the promise of the third initiation can be at their grasp and the Soul illumined mind finally assumes dominant role in one’s life.
