Steve clarifies his questioning:

I would suggest that far more prayers go unanswered than they are answered, and that for me is where so much of the frustration lies. Eventually, one is going to tire of asking. I do not ask questions flippantly, I ask only when I want to know something that I think is necessary. If I blanked my children as much as our Higher Selves blank us then I wouldn’t consider myself to be a good parent. If our Higher Selves do not know something, then let them speak, let them say “I do not know”.

Maybe if the communication channels were a little more open, and a little more trust was given concerning knowledge, then perhaps there would be a little less suffering for all and we wouldn’t need the 600 year holiday between each incarnation.

Let me summarize your question to see if I understand correctly. It seems logical to you that the Masters, Higher Lives and our own Higher Self should be more interested in helping us out a little and communicating more directly and consistently with us. If they really wanted to help it would seem that they wouldn’t make us jump through so many hoops to get a little assistance.

I’ll make a few comments on this trend of thought.

This thinking is correct if we are talking about physical to physical help, but we are not. Instead we are talking about assistance that must be given through the soul of the person involved.

Now there was a time when the guides of the race walked among us and helped us on the physical level. This was necessary because even the highest among humanity was not soul conscious to much of a degree. Therefore, if the higher lives were to assist humanity at all it had to be on the physical plane.

At that time the human teachers could just ask the Masters (who they called gods) whatever question they desired and they received some kind of answer. It wasn’t always a complete answer, but it was something at least.

Then the Masters made a mistake and they helped too much. This caused a negative effect comparable to the story of the person who helped the butterfly escape from its cocoon and killed it because the butterfly needed to participate in the struggle of escape to survive.

Partially because of too much help the late great civilization of Atlantis was destroyed. After this the Masters contemplated their work and determined that they must be more careful in giving out help. They must assist just the right amount and not too much if humanity is to survive another cataclysm.

After civilization sprung up anew they helped again on the physical plane as related in Bible stories, but much less than they did before. Then came Jesus Christ and opened the door to soul contact for the masses. As disciples become sensitive to the soul the door was shut as much as possible to physical on physical help. It was determined that humanity would advance at the fastest rate possible if they placed their attention on the soul and the inner voice became the voice of God to them instead of an outside physical entity.

This has several disadvantages. The main was that very few people as of yet have consistent soul contact. But it has one overwhelming advantage and that is humans are forced to stretch themselves spiritually and seek the inner voice so they can become one with God in their own right.

When a critical mass of humans reach soul contact then the earth will no longer be in danger of destruction. We will then become one of the few planets to have achieved the station of progress where we can move ahead and eventually become cultivators of other planets and assist in a greater creation that is in its infancy in this universe.

Book Of Quotes

Soul Contact

1 [The] inner self, through the medium of the Soul, contacts and registers the Holy Spirit, which is capable of verifying all true principles. In short, this process is called “soul contact.”

2 Soul contact is THE most important thing for us all to learn for only by learning the principle can we all become as one mind yet retain our complete freewill.

3 If you are not sure you have received full soul contact, it means you have not; because when you do, you recognize it and know what has happened.

4 The only way to know if another has achieved soul contact is to achieve it yourself. One person who has received this contact can recognize another who has received it.

5 When any degree of soul contact is reached and you receive direction from the soul, keep following that instruction until more is given. If you do not, you may be cut off for a long period and wind up on an illusionary path. Always follow the highest you can perceive.

6 One with soul contact can find more truth in the National Enquirer than one who is in illusion can find in the Bible.

7 When we talk about soul contact, we are talking about putting our attention and consciousness on this still point within that tells Spirit, what matter is doing, and matter, what Spirit is doing.

8 How do you know you have contacted the soul? Until one makes that contact he will not know, but will assume high emotional feelings or a peaceful state is the contact.

9 Soul contact has little to do with facts, except in important circumstances, but it has much to do with principles.

10 The person who achieves permanent soul contact will be polarized on the plane of the mind yet have communion at will with the next plane up, the Buddhic plane of soul (or Christ) consciousness.

11 When one has established firm soul contact it becomes almost impossible to take offense and if offense is given it is generally by accident or because the other party is offended at simple truth.

12 There is no faster way to achieve soul contact than through the offering of a humble prayer.

13 Here is the basic problem for many self-declared spiritual people. The highest they have felt is high emotional energy and they may associate this with the spirit or voice of God. Often such an occurrence is not a direct soul contact, but a reflection of soul.

14 There is one extremely important qualification one must meet to obtain real soul contact. He must become as a little child and approach the spiritual quest with the idea that he may indeed be a child in learning and he has not found the highest possible contact.

15 The soul is strongly associated with truth and has the capacity to recognize all true principles; therefore, a search or quest for the truth is a quest for soul contact.

16 There can be no soul contact unless the person seeks truth and values truth once it is discovered.

17 Let us list what soul contact is not. Soul contact is not just feeling emotional, but it is true that soul contact will stir your emotions. Most psychic activity is done through the astral body and not soul contact. Most channeling is done through the astral body and not through soul contact. Many visions have nothing to do with the soul. Many writings which claim to be inspired have little to do with soul.

18 Teachings are always necessary in this physical existence because the soul itself does not teach, but verifies. If there is nothing to verify then the purpose of soul contact on this plane has little purpose.

19 The “I found it” delusion is the greatest obstacle there is to soul contact.

20 One cannot achieve soul contact without seeking and one will not seek if he feels there is nothing to seek. This is the biggest barrier to higher contact for the above average people of the world. Their ego has convinced them that there is no need. Their ego becomes their God and why seek that which is higher than God?

21 The illusions that keep us from soul contact are so subtle that the only way one in the soul can recognize another in the soul is through the soul.

22 In the quest for soul contact one should seek that which seems to be true from all possible sources. Then when the seeker runs them by the soul, verification of that which is true can be sensed after contact has been made.

23 The most important thing we can do is to attain soul contact for ourselves and when this is achieved the true teacher can be recognized by a soul to soul knowing or gnosis. On the other hand, the false teacher will produce a negative knowing; he who has soul contact can receive verification from within concerning darkness as well as light.

24 If soul contact on a subject is not received then one should follow the highest he can perceive and process, and be true to the highest within him.

25 Even one who has achieved soul contact can fall away from it so the use of common sense is a factor that guides us toward the truth and keeps all of us in alignment.

26 A person has to reach a degree of soul contact before there can be communication between the past and the future. When this happens the Will of God is followed and no change in that Will takes place.

27 When we develop soul contact we open the door to contacting our Solar Angels as well as the Masters and Christ and up and beyond — the doors open to all these communications.

28 Everyone gets impressions and various thoughts coming into their mind. Obviously they cannot all be from soul contact.

29 Then there are those who believe they have soul contact, but in reality have astral contact, not realizing that astral trust veils the soul.

30 How do we tell the difference then between an impression from our lower selves and the voice of the soul? There is a distinct difference. At first that difference is difficult to sense. Then the realization comes that this inner voice is different from your own thoughts and feelings. You begin to pay attention to it and you gain a sense of its origin. As you pay attention the communications become more frequent, and your inner hearing becomes more acute and reliable. Then the realization comes that you are receiving higher impressions from God, the Spirit, the Higher Self – definitely a higher intelligence than you are on your own.

31 Blind agreement does not bring soul contact, but being as agreeable as possible certainly helps.

32 Meditation does not necessarily bring soul contact. There are those who meditate all their lives and never achieve it.

33 I believe one item overlooked by the Scientologists is that high spiritual contact releases us from most of the negative influences of words, or engrams as they call them. Established soul contact produces an instant “clear”.

34 The voice of the soul has to penetrate through numerous layers of resistance and darkness before it registers on the brain.

35 Soul contact opens a door that must be swung ajar before any higher contact can be made.

36 In the end, soul contact is much more than theory; it is the end of theory and the beginning of real usefulness on this planet.

37 Soul contact is important because the soul will never give us more change than we can handle, but the personality wants the ultimate achievement right now.

38 Only when soul contact has actually been made will one be able to discern the difference between the astral within and the soul within.

39 The combination of desire, will, and pure intention, creates a point of tension that opens the door of the soul.

40 Only when soul contact has actually been made will one be able to discern the difference between the astral within and the soul within.

41 In a way we all have soul contact, but are not all conscious of it. If we are not conscious of soul then we tend to ignore its voice and direction.

42 If one is not sensitive to the inner voice he must look at patterns in his life and look for clues in the lessons being taught. A big shortcut comes with soul contact for then the seeker can listen to the inner voice and receive a direct answer.

43 So how can one without psychic vision break free and contact the soul? The answer is he cannot if he continues to be polarized in the astral or emotional body.

44 It is indeed true that the numbers of distractions to soul contact are legion.

45 Many seekers have areas of their belief system that is blocked by illusion or glamour of some kind and then have other areas where they are open. In the areas where they are open they can receive soul contact, but then in areas where they are closed no such contact will be forthcoming. Instead, contact will be made with a thoughtform which will substitute for the soul.

46 We find what we are looking for we must look in the right direction, the direction of soul contact, the direction of pure Spirit, not of the familiar spirit.

47 Ideally we can unite through soul contact, but this may be too emotional of an issue for the group to approach the soul without prejudice. The next best thing to unite two or more people is the understanding of principles. When two or more see the principle behind a concept then group soul contact becomes possible.

48 Groups with ideologies do project a cohesive energy, but this is far removed from soul contact as I have taught it.

49 As a general rule the soul only directly sends a message that is for the good of the whole.

50 The basic principle behind lies and broken promises that interferes with soul contact is deceit.

51 Many people without soul contact have been taught about this path and what it will be like. Some concentrate so much on it that they have dreams, visions, strong feelings and imaginings of what will be found upon the path.

52 The person who receives higher intelligence must do so through the soul whether it comes from his Higher Self or a Master.

53 For those who have discovered soul contact and beyond the greatest compassion they can show is to share the principles that bring it.

54 When a point of truth is revealed through your soul it is impossible to deny to yourself unless you risk taking the Dark Path.
