Love is the basis of all creation.

Move into an experience of allowing, acceptance and love. As you do this, you will experience more peace and harmony. Love is the basis of all creation. Love is part of your higher purpose. Without Love, you cannot create your heart's desires, for as you lack love for others, you lack love for yourself, and as you lack love for yourself, you lack acceptance and allowing, and without allowing nothing can come into your life. First, you must think it, then you must feel it, and then you must allow it. That is how you create. That is how worlds were created, imagined, desired and then allowed!

What is the danger that threatens humanity?

What is the danger that threatens humanity [Humanitas]?

Humanity’s inability to understand and harmonise matter and its belief that the physical world is everything.

Souls come here in their final stages of physical evolution. Earth is a planet where the spirit is severely tempted and tormented. Many cannot resist these influences and break the Cosmic Laws continuously or else refuse to assimilate their appointed lessons. Most learn only part of their lessons and have to repeat existences over and over again. The influences of our earthly existence are felt very soon and souls forget the reason for their existence. It is necessary that the soul instruct itself to remember in silence the instructions about the mission the spirit is to undertake on Earth.

We need to assimilate our life experiences more thoroughly. Patience, Kirkudian says, is a most beautiful lesson, think then that it will help you face the coming trials with greater spiritual strength.

The Cycle of Incarnations

The cycle of incarnations varies from soul to soul and is determined by their ability to learn and assimilate each lesson.

What is an athanor?

The means of experiencing a lesson for the soul or undergoing purification when it has broken one of the three Cosmic Laws. Sometimes, an advanced spiritual entity undertakes this mission for the benefit of one or more souls.

The body you are born into forgets your past, but your soul does not. If you harmonise yourself with your inner true self, you will know instinctively how to act in each incarnation.

What will happen now? Will I be punished?

There is no such thing as punishment. Each existence carries its own lessons and burdens, which the soul must assimilate and accept. When it does not, or whenever it breaks any of the Cosmic Laws, it must be purified through an athanor, which is always a disturbing experience to a soul. You may think of it as punishment, but in reality, it is the soul itself that creates its unhappy experiences. Many souls in the lower levels of the astral world continually reject lessons and break the laws and in this way prolong their separation from the Cosmic Light.

We are one.

Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. 

I choose happiness and abundance.

What is Spiritual Purification?

What is Spiritual Purification?

There is no punishment. 

Each soul passes through several lives to experience matter, to learn new lessons, but because matter is dense and corruptive, purification is necessary in the measure in which the soul corrupts itself.

Souls interact and often act as each other's athanors to effect purification.

Some spirits advance more rapidly than others in their path of experiential search, but eventually, they all return to the Light whence they originated.

When a soul falls into the trap of identifying with the material world completely, breaking one or more of the Cosmic Laws in the process, it must be purified through sorrow and self-sacrifice in the course of many existences. That is why sorrow and self-sacrifice are such important lessons. As long as you reject them, you reject purification.

True Soul Mates or Twin Souls

Dual Energy

In the natural order of the Universe, everything has a dual nature—

Positive and negative, masculine and feminine.

From the heart of the atom, proton and electron, to the most advanced beings, all that exists is formed of opposite charges in perfectly harmonious balance. From this perfect union arose light and life.

Twin Souls or Soul Mates

Twin souls, or soul mates, united in love—

Like the atom, like God

are hermaphroditic in essence because their combined entity encompasses both the male and the female. Therefore, in their natural state, two souls—positive and negative energies, male and female in the physical worlds—exist as one essence. But when this dual-energy vortex that is the soul manifests in the physical world, it is temporarily divided into two halves so that it may experience each individual trait and recognise the importance of Union. It often happens that the female aspect of the soul is incarnated into a male physical body—and vice versa—which creates pain and confusion for the soul that knows its true gender.

Only after a series of incarnations, during which each half of the soul immerses itself in the material world, transcends it, and purifies itself, can the two halves meet again and reunite for eternity. But the material world is powerful, and eventually, each half of the incarnated soul becomes wrapped up in its new body and life and forgets its true spiritual essence. Often this causes it to fail in the assimilation of the experiences of a lifetime. The one thing a soul never forgets is that it is incomplete, that an intrinsic part of its essence is missing. That is why, as long as it is incarnated in a physical body, the soul searches constantly and unconsciously for its missing half and is often attracted to those beings who remind it, however faintly, of its true soul mate or twin soul. This search is generally in vain, as it is very rare for twin souls to be incarnated in the same place at the same time. When this happens, however, the attraction is immediate and all-encompassing even though the two soul mates may not know the reason for its intensity. But, for the most part, only one soul incarnates at a time while the other remains in the astral plane.

It is karma we each have to fulfil.

It is karma we each have to fulfil.

There is only one truth for the soul, and that truth is union with the Light whence it originated.

We incarnate in matter to experience it, and then we return to the Source or Cosmic Oversoul. That is all. 

But to return to the Source, one must be purified from contact with matter. If you can accomplish this after one existence, that is perfect bliss, but it is rare. Most of the time, the soul must incarnate several times before it is completely free of corruption. To experience matter fully, it must be divided into two halves, male and female. That is its true essence. To return to the Source, both halves must be purified and united beforehand.

—Joab

All souls are required to undergo many incarnations.

All souls are required to undergo many lives or incarnations in their quest for spiritual purification. This does not mean that they share the same number of experiences, or for that matter, an equal amount of time in the material plane. Certain souls may require more time and incarnations than others to complete their cycle of learning. Failure to learn any one lesson may require the soul to relive similar existences many times until that particular lesson has been completely assimilated.

What is the Trianic Record?

The Trianic Record is a list of the violations of any of the three major Cosmic Laws by a soul, whether free or incarnated. These three laws are simple. The first says that a soul should never function or act as One but as part of the All. The second says that a soul should never forfeit its evolutionary advancement through the avoidance of experience. And the third says that a vessel of experience—such as a physical form—should never be willfully destroyed. These three laws have three important codicils that are not laws in themselves but seeds of enlightenment that lead to the return to the Force, which is the ultimate aim of evolution. The first codicil says that self-sacrifice for the sake of another is a sign of approaching enlightenment, for the soul recognises at that point in its evolution that all others are parts of itself. The second codicil says that acceptance in all its forms is the seed of humility—the most precious of all virtues—and leads to bliss. The third codicil says that love leads to regeneration and total union and is the source of the All.

The three laws and the three codicils are encoded within a soul as it is emanated from the All, but it often forgets them when it is imprisoned in a physical form, pursuing its path of evolution. The All—that is, the Creator or Cosmic Oversoul—manifests its essence in the form of myriad souls to experience matter. Each soul is a part of it, and to it must each soul eventually return, each cycle of experiences completed and the soul purified through the path of evolution.
