Considerations 103 …
Two Refreshers …
- - o-0-O-O-0-o - -
Two issues seem to continuously appear in the forum board. I would like to give short-form answers here.
First … the difference between Divine Spirit and Soul Itself is monumental … yet negligible. There are two “layers” of Spirit … aspects … levels … distinctions … use whatever word you wish. There is Divine Spirit … which is the precursor to all Existence … making up and sustaining all of the Pure God Worlds … that above the 5th Plane or the True Home of Soul. This level of Divine Spirit does not into the Lower Psychic Worlds.
Dropping lower into the Lower Psychic Worlds … the negative element is added to Divine Spirit so IT can form the worlds of opposites and provide experience gained from interacting with experiences that can only be gained by way of for or against … ignorance and wisdom … male and female … high and low … etc. The list is endless … making up the entirety of the Lower Psychic Worlds.
Neither of these levels or distinctions of Spirit is … or can be … aware of IT-self. Just as a sunbeam is not aware of itself as such … electricity coursing through wiring is not aware of itself as such … atoms are not aware of themselves as such. There is no overseeing, guiding or commanding “brain” that tells any level of Spirit … “Go be that” at the level of creation.
This is the function of Soul. Soul Itself is identical to Divine Spirit and is able to be aware of Itself. It has the capacity to distinguish between Itself and everything else … so to speak. Through the focusing aspect of Soul … Divine Spirit … and the Spirit in the Lower Psychic Worlds … are focused or manifested into all that we know of in all of Existence … in their respective levels or layers.
Soul can be aware of Itself … and is here to learn just what It is … in respect to that which makes up all Life … Divine Spirit.

Secondly … the understanding of “dreams” has been stifled by both scientists and religionists for centuries. In an effort to keep everything in the physical body … medical experts put dreams as just random firing of neurons … the brain continuing to function as we sleep. In minds demand to criticize and negate anything unorthodox … they have laid a mountain of “possibilities” that explain it all.
Hopefully most … if not all … of those on this forum board know that Soul is not a physical entity … so It’s needs are not the same as is the physical body. Soul … does not need eight hours of rest in order to carry on the next day … so to speak. Dreams turn out to be a level of the trance states Soul leaves its physical vehicle to travel into the inner worlds … mostly … the Astral Plane. Dreams … are your continued life. The Astral Plane is so vast and varied … there is little if anything that cannot be “found” or experienced on the Astral Plane.
Additionally … consider when you close your eyes and use your “mind’s eye” to see something. ( Great job by the various experts to hijack the third eye as being that of the mind. ) Mind … cannot see. Mind … has no eyes of its own. So who or what is seeing during these times … and on during the dream state?
Soul.
Perhaps not the most popular understanding but nonetheless … true.
Please remember … Soul is seeing through the filters of the Lower Psychic Worlds. Inner sight is not “just” the sight of Soul … but is certainly seeing by way of Soul.
Just taking into account the standard principle of “As above so below” … or “As the inner goes the outer” … dreams are one layer less than the waking state … and is certainly “inward” compared to the physical. Dreams at night are our travels. Daydreams can assist in designing our own lives … or can be total fantasy … depending on how we “use” them.
One can learn to rise above the Astral and get to the Causal Plane … where records of our past lives are kept … and the individual can wrestle with this discovery in terms of what time is or is not. Anyone can define time as anything they wish … we have led past lives … it is impossible not to … and this can cause quite a stir in the individual understanding of various concepts and considerations promoted by orthodox scientists, metaphysicians, and religionists.
Lucid dreaming begins to take charge of all of this … or at least come to terms with it. The various planes are not singular areas. The Astral Plane again is quite vast … and has many, many sub-planes … so to speak. Any of these can be considered as a separate or higher / lower plane in itself … but that eventually turns out to be misleading. There are “signs” or “abilities” or “behaviors” within each major dimension that whisper the level the experience is taking place … the Astral … or otherwise.
As suggested … the Astral is huge … and if one wishes to find an area within the Astral Plane that is “formless” … it can be found … while still walking that dimension. How else is one going to learn discernment … for the later discoveries one will make as they continue on deeper into Existence?
Soul … runs all other elements of the individual being … although unknowingly. As the individual begins to explore all of this … there is always the dilemma … is the physical brain “running” Soul or is Soul “running” the brain? Are we so trapped within the physical that even a non-physical entity such as Soul cannot move beyond it via varying levels of trance states?
Slowly … involving many lifetimes and great courage … one does discover that it is Soul at the helm … always … although the ignorance of Soul Itself does keep one mired in the footsteps of discovery. This also supports the principle that it is tough indeed to understand where one “is” from any singular position beyond which there is no personal experience. One must go beyond where one is … in order to gain an overview … and “see” the position and its attributes … and continue from there … until finally exiting the Lower Psychic Worlds.
More later.
