Look up Anthony Borgia's "Life in the World Unseen"
It would answer quite a bit.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Excellent.

The "not even close" thingy is in reference to your observations that; "It is quite true that we do not/cannot bring all of our energy into an incarnation....."

First we need to consider what physical matter technically is... physical matter is actually frozen light, or condensed sound, but it's not a solid.... science cannot find a solid... so physical matter is essentially an energetic illusion. Now, our consciousness is currently participating within this illusion... As an entity-of-energy (which is what our true nature is) an aspect of our consciousness is currently vibrating at this thickened, more condensed,frozen light state. Within this state we can build rather solid appearing stories... we can do drama, based on a feeling of vulnerability that's hard to replicate in our purely energetic state.

Should our ultimate nature inject itself more fully into this illusion then this spell would dissolve, and we'd fully awaken to our own more-complete presence.

As to my connecting with my soul... it truly felt like it at the time... and also at the time I didn't know hardly a thing about anything new age, I didn't know a thing about 95% of the subjects that I've deeply explored since... and yet at the time I got a glimpse of the punch-line... that one brief exposure pulled the curtains back for just a moment, leaving me then with some fairly solid conclusions.... over the years those conclusions are proving accurate, based both on what I've been reading from others, and with what science is now saying about the basis of our physical world... that and numerous other less dramatic "spiritual" experiences that followed..

So again, to truly connect with ones soul is deeply complicated... physical matter, as we know it, simply dissolves, because "physical" doesn't actually exist as a true solid in the first place... to connect with ones soul is to re-awaken fully to the truth.. this short time in my-own-deeper presence convinced me of that... connect ~fully~ with your soul and you awaken from whence we came... which no longer includes being physical...

This is a slight digression, but Frederic Myers, that great pioneer of psychical research, communicated the following on this subject from the next life through the automatic writing of Geraldine Cummins, in her book, The Road to Immortality. It is a bit complicated to follow but it has helped me:


Quote:
"Memory out of the body is a different affair altogether. When we become discarnate beings we are far more detached from the early images for the reason that they are no longer bound to us by matter through the medium of the brain cells. The threads, you must realise, are broken by death…. We do not draw them to us as when we are alive, with labour and difficulty, we simply make the necessary effort which places us in the state that makes it possible for us to perceive the images we desire. Now, we are not in that state when we communicate through you. That is our difficulty. We are quite detached from these images, and unless the medium has the psychic power of absorbing the facts demanded from our memory – with our assistance, of course – we cannot provide you with the evidence you require."


Point being that how we define ourselves on earth is soon to be completely irrelevant.

  • Compassion.
  • To assist others who are on earth.
  • Higher does not equal "all learned up".
  • Spirit returns don't always have to do with the spirit returning
Just a few things entirely incorrect...now corrected.

who was talking about the physical? Your last paragraph sounds like you already transitioned.........Why must everyone make simple principles into complicated sagas......We as spirit, "are" energy.....my understanding is that no physical being can bring 100% of their energy into an incarnation; it is said that it would fry your circuits.....I have been told that I did "not" bring enough into this incarnation... so your experiences dictate your beliefs and my experiences dictate mine......

Excuse me, but what does"experience" not cover in the first 3 items on your "list"? I have no idea what you are talking about with spirit returns don't always have to do with spirit returning--you might want to explain what you mean.....who do you think that you are helping????? Mu can't.........:-)
