Does this mean that we should just play it safe and outright reject all communication that comes to us that is above our ability to understand?
Woody writes:
Actually, this is good advice I think.
See, atma/buddhi (the soul) is principle-based intelligence. By definition, if you can't see the reasoning (atma/buddhi interlocking with mental thoughts) then its not soul contact.
Whose definition is that?
This does apply to principles that come by the intuition through the soul, but not to instructions from a Master which may also be given through the soul. One can receive data or instructions from a higher intelligence through the soul and not understand the full meaning at all. Even so a Master or Solar Angel (outside of himself) will contact the disciple through the soul and send the communication to him along with a soul vibration so the disciple can recognize the signature of both the Master and the soul. It is true that even the Master can make mistakes but at least soul contact will verify the Master's contact and you will know you are dealing with a more advanced (and yet benevolent) intelligence than yourself.
This is much different than following an outside authority because communion of higher intelligence is verified from within through the soul.
What I have counseled against is accepting any outside authority, even angelic, without soul verification but have said that we can even find truth in the National Enquirer if read through the eyes of the soul.
Woody:
Religious warfare is a perfect example of how a leader who has a certain mental mindset can twist soul contact into something really ugly. He gets that sense of "knowing", that "it came from God feeling" and he will sacrifice every last man, woman, child and himself in a war based on a faulty mental premise to begin with.
If a person is in a state to receive consistent soul contact then the chances or turning it into something that it is not, or ugly, is very low, unless he becomes corrupted over a period of time. The disciple who gets instruction via soul contact is usually true to the instructions. If not, his Master will withdraw. And nothing he says from that point on will make much sense.
Every unjust war in history has not been started by one with soul contact.
Hitler did not have soul contact and started World War II. Churchill did have contact and fought to defend himself and his following his soul turned to something liberating for the world. The same with Lincoln.
Woody quoting me:
Secondly, he must test its accuracy over and over like a spiritual scientist. If time and time again the communications are accurate then this gives sure evidence that true soul communion has been achieved.
Woody:
Paraphrasing my favorite author in his book the Lost Key of the Buddha: John says to Joe, about something the Buddha said: You must not accept what I (the Buddha) say just out of respect, but treat my teachings as a goldsmith treats gold, analyzing it, scraping it, rubbing it and discovering what it really is.
I agree with JJ and Siddhartha.
And I agree with both statements. One does not contradict the other.
Global Warming Enlightenment:
The planets Jupiter and Saturn exert a pull on our planet which makes its orbit around the sun vary, making it increasingly ellipsoidal when both planets align to pull Earth further away from the sun, causing us to reach the furthest distance from the sun in regular 100,000 year long cycles. The regular changes are referred to as the Milankovitch cycle, after the Serbian engineer and astronomer Milutan Milankovitch, who first determined the solar influx variables as a function of Earth's position mathematically. The orbital changes, the planet's 3° change in the inclination of its rotational axis between tilt changes between about 22° and 25° in a 41,000 year cycle and the precession of the rotation, the nods and wobbles which expose one or the other of the poles to more sunlight, in a 22,000 year cycle combine to affect the absorption of solar energy slightly, but enough to cause regular, drastic medium term climate changes, i.e., changes lasting over ten to a hundred millennia.
