Q: Could you please discuss the relationship between the soul and consciousness?
A: Pure Consciousness is the source of everything. It is the Unified Field of modern physics. The one thing out of which all things emerge and ARE in their essence. It is transcendental… meaning it transcends relativity. It is beyond relativity. It cannot be touched, felt, seen, heard, etc. It is like the Central Sun of all that is.
You do not touch the sun. You experience the sun through the rays that emerge from it. Similarly, you do not feel the Absolute Essence of your Being, i.e. the transcendent… pure consciousness. However, you do feel that which radiates from it through all levels of your being. Those rays you experience are the Soul. You feel your essence through your Soul… the rays of your essence radiating through all levels of your being.
Which explains the feelings that I just had as I read and looked at that amazing picture. The simple things are sometimes the most precious.
Thank you Brahmarshi
Thank you for your reply. If I’m understanding properly, you’re saying the soul and consciousness are the same one.
I’m wondering about death and my legacy, the memories I leave and the memories I take with me as lessons for
my next life. I find the concept of memories hard to grasp. What is a memory and how is it “stored” in our soul?
If consciousness is compared to the Sun, the the Soul would be the rays emitted from the Sun.
What is memory? I will try to find time to write a blog on that, rather than putting it in a blog comment.
Is it fair to say if pure consciousness is God, our Soul is emitted from our consciousness? I’ve read that “our soul is
part of a matrix of souls and universal souls we call God”. I’ve also read that “our souls are nothing more than neurological manifestations of our genetic programming and past experiences”. If the latter is true, is our consciousness a manifestation of our genetic programming and past experiences?
Roy,
Allow me to be blunt. You are asking questions that require a certain background to understand the answer to. It is like someone who does not know arithmetic asking to be taught calculus. First learn basic math. I offer the necessary background but you must be willing to study it. Then the answers to these questions will fall right into your lap… self evident. Without the basics, all these things you are reading only confuse further. Since I am being blunt, I dare say that the authors of those things you are reading appear to not understand the basics.
I have studied your blogs/videos from last November on “Does Your Life Have A Context” and “Discernment” and “The Unifeid field”. I always come away with a better understanding after reading your words. With love, I thank you…
“I do not want you to take anything on faith. I want you to know, and know clearly, from within yourself, not just feel or believe. There are about a dozen principles that I will be providing soon. If each is understood and woven together with the others, an understanding of a context of life is revealed. No stone is left unturned. No blinders must, or even can, remain on. No scientific thinking is denied or contradicted. No question is taboo or blasphemous. BUT more importantly, if you reflect on those principles, you will, in time, find within your own self (not as an indoctrination from the outside, but as a discovery from within yourself) that there is a valid context to life. And that, for you, will change everything.”
Roy,
Ah yes, those dozen principles… It is an odd thing. I have made videos of those points to be posted. There always seems to be a glitch or some problem that prevents them from being completed. It is certainly still on my mind. I keep trying to convey those points more and more clearly. It is a great challenge to convey them and even a greater challenge to help people find them within themselves and to be able to connect the dots. I also keep trying to find the time to get to them…. again…
Roy,
San Francisco weekend class starts September 12. Then later in the month is class in Asheville at Mount Soma. If you can make it please feel free to attend either as my guest.
