Two Types of Soul Contact
A reader asks for some tips on recognizing true soul contact. He wants to avoid following a wrong impression. If it is not true soul contact then perhaps it could lead to undesirable results. On the other hand, if it is true and he doesn’t respond then he may miss an opportunity.
There are two types of impressions that come through soul contact.
[1] An impression that gives additional knowledge or principles.
[2] An impression that gives direction and leads to a decision followed by an action.
When the seeker begins receiving the first, he senses the still small voice and it is so subtle that he is not sure if the knowledge came though his own mental activity or a higher source. In fact, many receive knowledge from the soul and do not realize the source, but believe it just came through their own thinking process.
BUT… as he accepts the knowledge and tests it and moves forward with it he eventually receives greater knowledge that he realizes is beyond the capacity of his normal brain power. As time progresses, he learns to differentiate knowledge that comes through the soul and that which does not. He also learns to run things by the soul to verify whether the knowledge is true or not.
The second soul impression concerns an action that should be taken and this is not as subtle as the first. When this truly comes from the soul it comes with enough power to get your attention.
Even so, the seeker may be confused the first couple times this happens to him because it is a new experience and he is not sure if his imagination is playing tricks on him or if it is really from a higher source. However, after he follows the direction a couple times and finds the results were beneficial, he gains the ability to identify that which comes from the soul and trust it.
Here is a rough idea of how the process works.
The seeker feels an energy from the innermost core of his being that he instinctively knows is a benevolent source. It reveals to him a choice that he should make or a direction he should follow. Ironically, this is rarely in answer to a recent question he has or a prayer he has made. It usually just comes as a strong impression out of the blue.
The impression may involve something that can be resolved in hours, but at other times it may be days, years or even a lifetime.
The impression may also be negative in that it is something he must not do. Even though this comes as a warning feeling it is still clear that it comes from God, or a benevolent source, or the part of you that is linked to God.
The first few times this direction comes the seeker may not immediately decide to follow. He will most likely think it over for a while or just try and ignore it. If the decision is important in the scheme of things he will not be able to ignore it as the impression will usually come back stronger. He will normally get the impression three times so he will be left without doubt as to what he is supposed to decide. After the path is made clear to the seeker he will then be left on his own to decide yes or no.
If he makes the right decision and follows the impression from the soul he will feel a sense of relief and have an inner confirmation and comfort that the path chosen is correct.
Quite often, the first couple times this happens the seeker will reject the impression. Since this is a normal part of the adjustment the Higher Self is fairly forgiving and will give the seeker several chances. If he continues to reject the guidance then the soul will withdraw and the time of opportunity will be lost for a season – often for a lifetime or more.
Once the seeker understands the impressions from the soul and has proven them accurate to himself then it is important that he follow the impressions he receives. If he does not, especially if the choice is important, then he may not be given a second chance. If the soul seems to withdraw and he wants the contact back then he will have to retrace his steps and fulfill the original choice he was given. If this is impossible then he must be open to following a new impression if it should come. A second opportunity may or may not come in this life.
New and Old Wine
A reader quotes these words from Jesus:
“Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9:17 [NIV]
He then wonders if it is a waste of time trying to reform politics in the United States which he considers old wone. Perhaps we should fully concentrate on moving on to new wine through the gather of lights and the molecular relationship.
He makes a good point but we must examine what is really the new wine and the old.
The old wine consists of free market capitalism and Constitutional government. We have gone away from these two things and in returning to them in many ways we are going back to the old wine.
This happened several times with the Roman Empire. It was built on good principles as a Republic and they drifted away from the founding principles. Then they had a string of good emperors who did not rule as tyrants and went back somewhat toward the founding principles. When this happened, the Roman citizens were much happier and prosperous.
Even so, our country can be taken back to our old wine of freedom and Constitutional government and create for our citizens a better way of life for a time.
The New wine is the Molecular Relationship and cooperative government and this will be resisted by those who are attached to the old wine as well as those who have spoiled the good old wine. To create a vessel for the new wine we need a gathering, which is more difficult to accomplish in this age than any other. In past ages a group of people could merely stake out a piece of land and rule themselves however they saw fit. This is not possible today as every piece of land and island is controlled by some state that has power to tax and declare law. Now the U.N. is even seeking to control every inch of the oceans.
This makes a gathering difficult but not impossible as a way will be opened up. In the meantime, it is a good idea to return to the quality old wine as much as possible. Later we will have a new harvest of grapes from which the new and beautiful will manifest.
If you wait, all that happens is that you get older. – Larry McMurtry
