the Creation

From a young age I was interested in spirituality and now in my latter days I reached spritual maturity. Besides mystical knowlegde I am also intersted in the advances of modern day physics and my research brougth me to the following conclusion: the heavens and the physical are two sides of the same coin and GOD is both. This is a true duality within oneness, a theorem that streches beyond imagination. This topic can be researched/experienced indefinitely and can be understood on many different levels/planes.

I believe - but have no proof yet - that soul comes in different shapes and sizes. The old saying goes: "So in heaven so on earth" and on this earth there roams a host of diverse creatures. One strange thought of mine is: "there are just as many different souls as there are fundamental particles".

My research has brought me to the conclusion that soul belongs to the eternal, heavenly worlds and incarnated in the human persona can experience the temporal. Both sides are separated by a deep gorge and in the beginning they didn't meet. But the relationship between heaven and earth is ever changing; Panta Rhei, everything flows. Hopefully both sides will be much better connected in the (near) future. Our brain with its two lobes reflect this state; heaven one one side and the human persona on the other, so to speak.

The human persona lives only once and has to deal with the cards that it recieves at birth. I honestly believe that a spiritual hierarchy of souls is behind creating live on earth. Biology is very complex and far from perfect but that is how IT IS in this physical world. All beings are created in the image of GOD and therefore all deserve respect. This is something the human mind doesn't grasp especialley when it is absorbed in the ten thousend things.

Living in this world you shoud put the fysical being top priority since you only live once. I think that the laws of karma apply to soul and the wordly laws apply to the human being. Wordly laws, regulations and customs are different in every county and you have to follow the rules or face the consequences/karma.

A lot of students on the various spiritual paths strife for immortality or the fountain of youth and some individuals have succeded. It is as Don Juan Matus, a central american shaman, said: "It is the life force that makes all that shuffeling possible".

A quote from With Soul by Darwin Gross: "The timid never find true love and happiness, But the bold do . . ."
I phatom he got this aspect of spiritual growth completely wrong. I sense that the bold can have soul travel (for wich I have no talent) but the timid have inner knowing and come to a deeper understanding...

Physicists have theorized for centuries about the expansion of the universe and the cosmological constant. They believe that there is a force, negative energy, that drives everything in the universe apart. My idea is that this negative force originates from Soul; all souls carry this force within them. Behind the entire development of the universe lies Soul, and life on Earth developed through a spiritual hierarchy of souls or gods as you might call them.

What the hierarchy did not foresee was that the human consciousness derailed somewhat. Interestingly enough, humanity is now fearing that AI will derail. Something we created ourselves, but which is getting out of hand. This made me think of the art works of Gerhard Richter who said: Mein Bilder sind klüger als ich"

Soul is behind most accidents, every dictatorship and every war. Dark souls love chaos. If soul is not acknowledged it remains in the shadows and exerts a negative force. Every mystic has wrestled with this; think for example of the 40 days in the desert of Jesus or Jacob and the fight with the angel.

Advanced souls reach out - sometimes this is called intuition - but many souls keep quit and simply enjoy their ride in the temporal. It is difficult to distinguish which of youre inner impulses come from soul and wich come from the human mind. It can takes decades of meditation to grasp the difference and as the Buddhist say: meditation is the way until it becomes the obstacle. Maybe in the end contemplation is the way. This remindes me of my interactions with my anthroposophical teacher, Hans van Tienen, who once said: "IT thinks in me"

When soul is acknowledged it steps out the shadows into the open and the negative force gradually transforms in a positive one. This way all mystics go; they try to cleanse the mind of impurities and imbalances and if they succeed the brain and body automatically adjust to their new state. I don't understand this subject fully nor do I fathom the pressure soul ply on the physical completely.

If you swing to the positive soul also drives you on; therefore I strive to be balanced in the neutral.

First you have to decides what you want. Some people unfourtantly have no free choice, especially if the negative or positive force of soul is too great. Only when you want to put soul first you should choose a spiritual path but be careful not to neglect your human side. It is perfectly understandable and in accord with the law of GOD to put the persona first; in this case you might choose a religious path. I honestely believe that nearly all present day religious or spiritual paths are somewhat unbalanced.

There are many religious and spiritual organisations in this world: high, low or corrupted. A nice piece of advice was given by Don Juan, who said, "Choose a path with a heart." I was given another piece of advice by martial arts master Shihan Té a mystic of the ancient water ways: "Be there where you can collect the gains."

Some years ago I had this wonderful divine experience. My attention was shifted to my heart and I noticed that there where bubbles rising. They rose trough my chest and larynx, and higher... they rose in my brain and there they puffed and burst. I clearly heard a voice, "all will be well". For decades have I ponderd on the meaning of this experience and now I understand it somewhat.

Unfourtunatly for us humans the word "all" relies mostly to soul. An individual can create a positive life for himself but it it will be a long, long time that mankind grows up, if ever.

In the late eighties, just before going to sleep, I had the following experience.
Suddenly, I was out of my body and lying on the ground. A soldier in a green uniform adorned with a small red star towered over me. He held a pistol and fired. I felt the blood drip down a side of my face… And just as suddenly as this experience had begun, I came back to myself.

I have pondered this experience for years. I immediately understood that a comrade of mine had died, and I placed the experience in the east because of the small red star. How was it possible that he/she could reach me over that enormous distance, and why me of all people? Was it because, at the moment of death, soul steps forward in all its omnipotence, and I was sensitive enough to respond to that call? Or is it possible that, just like elementary particles can, our souls were entangled?

This is a curious idea, and it still will take me quite some time to fully grasp it.

Modern day physisist have a lengthy debate about the role of the observer in quantum physics. But for a developed mystic it is crystal clear; an observer, Soul/soul, is always present as well in the tiniest structures as in the greatest. This is how far my insights strech. The role of information, e.g. in black holes, is one of the topics that is beyond me.
