Principles of the Soul
The soul generates out of itself five dual states of being and consciousness and functions as the driving influences which act through centrifugally outgoing processes and centripetally inward drawing aspects of the elements sentience (ether), subjectivity (an inner life) (fire), a mental, thinking life or objective consciousness (air), an emotional life (water) and a sense of physical form (earth). All of these elements are sub-parts to the soul’s state which is a coherently unified consciousness plus a common sense of identity and purpose.
The sub-parts have characteristically different functional instincts and capacities. Every individual is part and parcel of this inner sub-group consciousness.
The soul-being possesses a consciousness and a sense of function both instinctively and telepathically connected to the sub-parts of which it forms a part and hence the parts plus the coherently unified consciousness forms a part of a larger Universal Consciousness and One Universal Soul. Hence, the soul being is a functional microcosm of the larger macrocosmic Universal Soul.
The Nature and Form of the Soul
The Soul-Body=spheroidal or ovoid shaped aura or field of light>its microcosmic counterpart, the cell in an organic body>a field of light reflecting physical form, an enfolding sphere of mind<an evolving consciousness which is a sequential unfolding of an increasing intelligence in humankind which has led to the following progressive development in humanities’ objective consciousness, comprised of self-consciousness, family consciousness, tribal consciousness, cultural consciousness, nationalistic consciousness, internationalistic consciousness and one-humanity consciousness. The essence of this progression is that of an inclusive expansion within the framework of a triple soul consciousness (development of natural intelligence which is a progressive spiritual faculty comprising the principles of Intelligence, Mind and Consciousness) an inclusive expansion that parallels humankind’s objective behavior from an actively progressive foundation of functional awareness, namely:
1) Intuitive consciousness.
2) Sense of self-consciousness.
3) Instinctive consciousness.
The soul in nature can only be understood esoterically as the soul is immortal and maintains a faculty of consciousness throughout eternity. The soul is the conglomerate vehicle of the spirit of man or enfolding sphere of Mind and the soul has only partial emanation into the physical body which is its mortal aggregate and the temporary vehicle of the soul’s partial emanation.
The Soul as a Universal Principle
The soul principle or sphere of consciousness is represented by the Ogdoad, or equal eight-sided geometrical figure. The soul is no abstraction, it manifests itself as a sphere of light, it guides and guards each individual human being and it provides the source of the very life, consciousness and function of each individual human being. The soul gives of its nature throughout a person’s life to ensure its continuity of existence and its faculty of consciousness.
The sense of consciousness is the synthesized or unitary sense of the soul. A soul can be young or old and we can see through individual behavior patterns whether a soul is grounded in tribal consciousness, geared towards attaining and evolving to cultural consciousness which would be a young soul or a soul grounded in internationalistic consciousness, geared towards attaining and evolving a one-humanity consciousness which would be an old soul. In the present incarnation of souls, western society is a colorful mixture of tribal, cultural and national consciousness reflecting a society highly competitive and urged to belong to particular social or political grouping. Whereas in the Middle East and Africa, the evolutionary issue involves an extended family consciousness, essentially tribal in nature yet urged to attain cultural identity and a developing intuitive sense of national identity.
I have been studying the work of ancient philosophers, of author J.S. Gordon, the work of Ernest Holmes, the work of author P. Gardner, author R. Tarnas, author and modern philosopher David Chalmers…etc, connecting and integrating all thoughts and concepts, combined with a study of my own experiential experience with my own states of consciousness. An understanding of the soul cannot be separated from the aspects of consciousness nor can consciousness be completely understood without grasping the nature of the soul.
