Language of the Soul

How can I resist answering questions from a new poster?

JJ, Please answer the following questions regarding your post on intuition. ~~~~Intuition is not a gut feeling. Please define gut feeling. Is this animal instinct or psychism or what??

JJ:
Gut feelings come from several sources. The first is the instinctual nature. Instinct came into play in the first part of our evolution as human beings as a carry-over from the animal kingdom. Instinct is very closely associated with survival and is used by primitive humans to escape danger, to find food and water and establish customs for tribal unity.

As each of us progressed from instinctual polarization to the emotional, instinctive powers became dormant, or went below the threshold of consciousness. This does not mean we have lost this ability, but it does mean that we put it on the shelf so we have greater power of attention to concentrate on our next level of progression. Instead of being lost, it does mean that it lies latent within each one of us and may be recovered by the soul to aid us in various situations.

Each of us may, in times of tension within our lives, experience this instinct that is often called a "gut feeling." It is not infallible by any means, as this ability is associated with an ancient time and circumstance for most of us, but it is accurate enough that we should pay attention to it and compare it with any higher feelings and reasoning we have.

Many who receive an instinct or gut feeling misname it intuition but esoterically, instinct and intuition are very different from each other.

Gail:
"What then is the intuition? Intuition is a higher octave of the emotional self"
What does this mean?

JJ:
We have three vehicles of expression in the worlds of form. They are the physical/etheric, the astral/emotional and the mental/thought. Then there are four higher beyond form as we understand the term.

I often compare each of these worlds to a musical octave. In music when you move up an octave you play the same note again, but it is not the same. It has a similar resonance, but a higher vibration. Each of the worlds has seven sublevels corresponding to the seven major musical notes or the seven colors of the rainbows - or the seven creative rays.

As we progress through the three worlds we move up an octave from the instinct of the etheric/physical to psychic ability of the emotional to the logic of the mind, and finally to the intuition of the buddhic plane.

Just as Middle C does not become useless when you move up the scale, even so do all the abilities have their purpose and use.

Gail:
"It receives in the language of the soul."
Please define and elucidate on language of the soul.

JJ:
Here are some quotes from my previous writings.

I believe that someone mentioned that the language of the Soul deals with principles. This is a good way to see it.

Think on this: It takes a thousand facts to reveal one principle, but one principle can reveal thousands of facts. If we see this as being true then we can understand that when the soul speaks to us that there will be times when a whole book can be communicated almost instantly.

Before effective soul contact can be reached, the seeker must have a clear understanding of the difference between facts and principles and seek the understanding of Principles.

From the beginning of this list, my main goal has been to lead some of you into the true world of the soul so many can learn to verify information through the soul by using correct principles. A great leap forward in this process is to not be deceived by a multitude of facts and data, but to learn that the Spirit within can and does verify principles and principles behind various packages of knowledge.

Let us use an example of a principle taught in the Immortal book. "I AM BECOMING that which I DECIDE to BECOME.

When many of you contrasted this principle with the idea of a static, never-changing condition for all eternity, the idea of eternal progression just struck a chord within your soul. The reason this principle felt so good is because principles are dealing with the language of the soul, and from and through the soul we can receive a true communication. The good part is that as we progress from confirmation to confirmation our sensitivity to this communication becomes more and more reliable until the seeker can bring down principles from on high for himself and others.

But as far as regular knowledge that is available in the world through books and teachers are concerned, the best way to acquire it is from without. A good teacher is invaluable and so is a good book written by a teacher. One thing our experiment on the number demonstrates quite clearly is that it is much easier and faster for me to just "teach" you the mystery number than to let you stumble along trying to find it within yourself.

All souls are one and when we all speak the language of the soul together we will see as one body. But even those who do their best to retain soul contact, can question and disagree because of incomplete communications.

If my soul verifies a truth and yours does too then we see eye to eye with no decree from outside of ourselves. This is the way it should be. When we arrive at this answer a light will be thrown on the souls of many and they will see the truth of the principle. Remember the language of the soul is principles. To the soul a principle is like a word is to us.

The Course in Miracles makes this profound statement. "The truth is true and nothing else is true." In other words 2+2=4 and nothing else is true. This principle applies to all truth with no exceptions. No exceptions to this principle have ever been presented or will ever be presented for it is impossible to make that which is not true into truth. That which is not true can have the illusion of truth, but that is all.

There is no such thing as relative truth, higher truth, lower truth or ultimate truth. All truth is merely what it is at the present moment in time and space. Some truth may be in the process of unfolding and from this point of view one may say he is seeing "higher truth." That which is higher than truth is principles which are the language of the soul.

Keep in mind that my main purpose as a teacher is not to give data on or about various entities involved in the Plan, but to teach principles. Principles are the language of the soul and when this language is learned, deception will be a rare occurrence and the sons of men who are the sons of God can proceed in oneness of heart and spirit.

~~~~"The intuitive will put all known facts together and contemplate. His consciousness will penetrate higher worlds through the soul and a principle will come into his mind."
When an inventor gets info in a dream or meditation, we call this intuition. When an entire blueprint is seen, this is specific data rather than a principle. Are you suggesting only principles are intuited, or did you simply not list all other types of info.

JJ:
It may be misleading to say only principles are intuited. It would be more accurate to say that all intuition involves the use of principles in some way. Since principles are the language of the soul then this language must be involved in some way if the higher communications is to be brought down to the physical brain.

The beginning of intuition is in the in the use of ideas. Every idea does not present a principle in its fullness, but every good idea touches upon a principle and makes use of it.

Edison, for example, received the idea of the light bulb through intuition. The idea itself was not a single principle, but its creation involved the use of a number of principles. His mind this went beyond the words of form to bring down the practical idea of a new form.

Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a difference between knowing the path...and walking it. Morpheus - the Matrix
