Lifetime OF THE SOUL

Although generally speaking, spirit essence is ageless and eternal, it is viable to classify souls in terms of its evolutionary unfoldment or development. Here we cook not divulge of the origin of the soul, for from a decided supernatural purpose of view, not all human souls originated at the equivalent "time" or from the twin imaginary stop in space. According to this viewpoint, not all mankind are of the identical spiritual race. Our bountiful racial conflicts posses its source in the besides profundity of our souls where our metaphysical blueprints are varying and heterogeneous. In the channeled teachings of the Different Age, our points of origin are associated with trustworthy constellations in the starry sky.

The so-called interval of the soul may be mean business in assorted ways and there are manifold forms of classifications. These methods of determining the evolutionary folio of the soul assists us to conspicuously be aware the behavioral patterns and mental/spiritual differences in human beings.

We bell some of the many methods of classifying soul development, "the Caste-System," "the Planetary Initiatory System," and "the Chronological-Aging System." Everyone operation has its own disposition of delineating soul-progress. We buy that psych would doctor up its forbearing of the human psyche whether it took the subject of soul-age under consideration.


The Caste System

According to the Hindus, thousands of senescence ago Manu, the progenitor of humanity, instituted the caste development called jati in Sanskrit. In this course there are four classes called varna. The highest varna is the Brahmin, the priests and scholars. Hard by in station is the warrior/ruler-caste, called Kshatriya. Below this are the merchants and the farmers--the Vaisyas. The lowest collection is that of the Sudras, the laborers. Away of the group systems are the "Untouchables." These are the Dravidians, the first inhabitants of the land colonized by the Aryans. This caste-system is yet in career today, however, its rigidity has caused a positive dimensions of civil problems and unrest; happily though, multitudinal political and social reformers retain caused worthy changes and abolished abounding of the caste-system strict rules.

According to the exponents of the caste step every soul is born into the caste in concur with its karma. Provided one is born in a lower caste, it is seeing of its karma. Solitary if it ameliorated its karmic example would it be born in a higher caste in a close life. Members of a positive caste were not allowed to marry those of another class. In such a strict manner the contingency to success was not provided. The lower aggregation eventually became the slaves of the higher.

Although the physical articulation of the caste-system is abhorrent to the fine, touchy globe of the evolved soul, its essence has a intention in truth. Spiritually speaking, every subject belongs to one of the assemblage of the caste system. In other words, our soul functions at a confident caste-level and it eventually evolves wound up all of the castes. At already we may assistance at a Sudra-consciousness level, or a Ksatriya-consciousness level, etc. From the spiritual objective of view, there are and classes above the Brahmin level. These are the beneficial souls, men and women who corner reached the community of perfection.

Briefly, the soul begins its evolutionary course as an Untouchable, this is the soul-stage where one simply struggles to survive. One has no brainchild of sin at this stage, one simply lives according to the basic instincts. The Untouchables are simple, moronic people. Their mentality and spirituality are not even awakened. At the adjacent stage, as a Sudra, the soul has evolved an egoic thought and begins to duty for self-aggrandizement and self-centered purposes. As a Vaisya the soul becomes especial ambitious and materialistic and seeks bankroll for its wellbeing alone. The Vaisya cares for none however for self alone. Everything that exists the Vaisya seeks to own. The Ksatriya on the other ability has evolved a solution of responsibility. He seeks to serve humanity, however, his attempts are much tainted by his ego which is promptly functioning in a subtle manner. The Brahmin has commenced to renounce the frequent vices and cynical traits that acted as hurdles in relation to his spiritual progress. There is just now hardly any ego left in him. He ofttimes has a mystical disposition. In his brainpower and emotions he oftentimes feels that he has "seen it all" and "have down pat it all." This results in his distaste for the mundane world, and he normally becomes a renunciate. The Brahminic soul finds amassed joy in matters of the spirit rather than in worldly pleasures.

From the above we can look the hypothetical direction where a Vaisya, spiritually speaking, is born into a physical Ksatriya caste, or becomes head of the state of a country. This results in a ruler with tyrannical tendencies. Someone who misuses the dependence that heads places upon him. He exploits his position in method to own and pay for the riches of the sphere for self-centered purposes.

We can espy the antithesis in soul adulthood as related to troop by an individual's compassionate of the image of power. Each organization has its own characteristical discerning of the consultation "power." Request someone with a Sudra soul-development what his considerate of capacity is. He testament parade you his muscles--"muscle-power." The Vaisya on the other hand, will declare that bill is power, or yet that psychism is power. To the Ksatriya, position, rank, or profession is effectiveness . . . maybe his sword too. Brahmins would advance experience to be power. The adult who said that the pen is mightier than the sword was a Brahmin. The higher spiritual classes without vacillate would declare adoration to be the highest power.

Though the Caste-system has four, five, or all the more six classes, they are not clearly distinct. In some cases we hold an overlapping of classes. For instance, a soul may be a Sudra-Vaisya, or a Vaisya-Ksatriya, etc. Or a even deeper precise behaviour of classifying this is to deliberate each party as having four sub-classes. The closest is an example: Sudra-Sudra, Vaisya-Sudra, Ksatriya-Sudra, and Brahmin-Sudra. The after locate of sub-classes would be Sudra-Vaisya, Vaisya-Vaisya, Ksatriya-Vaisya, etc. This would cause 16 sub-classes in all, and each sub-class would include its own characteristics.

We can besides examine how the ornament of the caste-syetem corresponds with the four-fold personality of the microcosm: Sudra--physical body; Vaisya--astral or emotional body; Ksatriya--the lower intellectual (concrete mind); Brahmin--the higher mental (the summary mind).


The Planetary Initiatory System

In aligning to explain the planetary initiations and its affinity to the stages of soul-unfoldment, we should beginning altercate briefly the belief of initiation and the college extreme it.

Initiation may be defined as the "act of inducing, introducing, or instructing." It is recurrently ritualistic in essence and is to be inaugurate in changeable social ceremonies. Fraternal organizations regularly extend an initiation to their member-candidates to impress upon their minds the gravity of the transaction that they would be taking. There are diverse forms of initiation related to the breath of a human being; for instance, birth, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood, etc.-all of these are stages of boost and in undeniable cultures they are signal by persuaded initiatory rituals. These rituals are frequently called rites of passage. Initiation in that sense, is an report or revelation of what one has attained, or reached.

In schools of esotericism, initiations are accustomed to candidates requesting mystical wisdom. In such initiatory ceremonies, occult directions are much conveyed to the one lifetime initiated. Repeatedly the candidate had to undergo definite tests and trials to prove his worthiness. In the Initiatory schools of Antique Egypt, for instance, the candidate had to face the challenges of the four elements. These trials would affirm if the candidate had the cold qualifications, such as sincerity, courage, determination, perseverance, etc., in trail to progress in the unrevealed teachings and to preserve them from misuse. When these dense tests had been completed the candidate would be led to a distinctive hospital ward where he or she would be caused to training what has been called, "dying while living." Ended transcedental methods the colossal priest conducting the initiation would proceeds the ka, the "soul" from the candidate's corporeal form. In these initiations yogic instructions are addicted to the initiated one to practice. In most initiatory systems, there are three stages of recondite advancement--each phase represented by an initiation. In the initiatory systems of out of date Egypt, these three steps are referred to as the initiations of Osiris, Isis, and Serapis.

Planetary initiations are in reality differential from what we annex discussed thus far. Human race is in a authority of evolution, and every event of his unfoldment is glaring by an initiation. Generally these initiations are ritualistically conducted by the members of the Planetary Spiritual Hierarchy. This Spiritual Hierarchy is the unseen authority of this planet.

The Spiritual Hierarchy, according to the Dated Wisdom, was established approximately 18 million oldness ago by an interplanetary activity from Venus called Sanat Kumara. This exalted object is the all powerful or president-director of earth earth. It was he who sent countless beings to break through on the universe scene to show humankind on the Plan of Truth, Amorousness and Wisdom. These beings are our avatars, saints and prophets. Divers of these entities instantly occupation conspicuous positions in the spiritual polity headed by Sanat Kumara.

The aim of the Spiritual Hierarchy is to operate and help humanity's evolutionary flap towards higher levels, towards the fifth kingdom--the province of the gods and much beyond. Their target is to release citizens from all of its self-imposed limitations and false beliefs preventing the attainment of god-hood, divinity, and immortality. The members of the Hierarchy catechize every mortal the fashion outside of the cycle of reincarnation, and the elimination of karma.

As mentioned above, the legion initiations that the Spiritual Hierarchy conducts relates to the distinct stages of humanity's evolution. These initiatory ceremonies are either formally or informally given. They usually return area in the higher dimensions, those above the astral planes. The candidates of these initiations intimacy them in the Out-of-the-Body state, and is usually recalled during the waking kingdom as a "lucid dream."

The consciousness of growth begins at the mineral level. It progresses to the plant kingdom, stirring on to the animal kingdom, and last of all enters the human stage. The human territory is noted by individual evolutionary phases. Most family own passed the early primitive period of humanity's collective evolution--and when we add "primitive," we remit to the consciousness angle and not to form. The Hierarchy's interest of mankind, so begins with the leaf of the guideline person. When the criterion human race begins to awaken spiritually, he is considered an aspirant. This is in agreement to the episode of novice in any devout institution. After this page comes the grade of discipleship.

After distinct tests, a disciple qualifies for his fundamental initiation. There are 9 initiations associated with this planet. At each chapter and initiation there are sure soul qualities that the male has to develop, firm traits and habits that has to be eliminated, and certain tasks carried-out. It is a person's soul-development or locution that gives us a clue as to where he or she stands on the evolutionary scale or spiritual road as reckoned by the Hierarchy. Most saints and prophets are third and fourth measure initiates. The fifth initiation marks the equivalent of the "Perfect Man."

Generally speaking, the open of the aboriginal degree strives to defeated and balance the physical appetites and instincts. The moment degree commence works upon purifying and harmonizing the emotional nature. The third degree start has the weight of purifying, developing, and transcending the mind. The human ego would accept to be eliminated or transcended in the fourth initiation. Perfection is attained in the fifth initiation. What lies above that, the sixth-ninth degree, is beyond the sensitive of the lower degree initiates and the morals person. Between two initiations there are assorted baby ones, not all of which are celebrated in a ceremonious manner. The discrete events in the energy of Jesus as recorded in the Fresh Will represents the planetary initiations. This is a hermetic facts not much understood by orthodox Christianity. The gospel stories are truly narratives of our own soul-journey and development.

Not all of the initiations are attained in one incarnation. It takes alive with lives to pass buttoned up them. Over of this a workman may be born as a second or third degree initiate; a elementary or fourth degree initiate; or still as an sample man who has not all the more fix his foot on the way of spiritual unfoldment. Our children may be and latest than us, spiritually speaking, honorable as candidates may be another highly developed than their seniors when they are inaugural usual or initiated into a spiritual organization.


The Chronological Aging System

Another wealth of gauging the soul's day is what we personally telephone the Chronological Aging System. This disposal has attained some publicity when the manuscript, "The Michael's Handbook" was published; however, this transaction is not dewy and hold been taught by mystics throughout the ages.

Basically, this process follows the duplicate chronological stages that an organism goes finished in its life. An organism begins its get-up-and-go as an child and progresses in the consequent stages: baby, inexperience (young), workman (mature), and the aged (old). Away the soul further undergoes all of the above stages in its development, and even more. Those souls that enjoy passed the sheet of "Old-soul" may be said to be Transcendent and Infinite souls. At each stage or time there are seven sub-stages or levels. At every alike and every stage, the soul has identifying traits and characteristics, and these admit great and bad aspects. Generally speaking, by crack the traits of someone we may announce their soul age, and hence, where they stand in their evolution. Below is a table of the soul stages and their basic traits as described in the tome "Michael's Handbook," written by Jose Stevens.

[Please interview our website for the table]

Generally, Descendant souls are added concerned with survival issues than anything else, and they usually alive far from the complexities of technological societies. It is said that Toddler souls tend to congregate in the equator for survival is all the more easier and simpler there. Negatively, Kid souls are aggressive, animalistic, fearful, superstitious, and ignorant. Their redeeming qualities are simplicity, child-like, psychical, and instinctive.

Youngster souls are those beings that strictly play the rules of society. They are unshakeable in their beliefs and they hog a imagination to succumb to fanaticism, whether it be religion or some other. Toddler souls are comfortable with formal rites and ceremonies and are strict conformist to the tenets of religious dogmas. The ace aspects of Minor souls might admit loyalty and obedience, while their dissension aspects dogmatism, pettiness, and brutality.

Adolescent souls are struggling to clean-cut their innate identity, their divinity; however, they mistakenly arrange this by asserting their false ego, by misusing power, and by manipulating others. Hence, with such tactics, they are often the conflict-makers. They are possessive in description and are deeply concerned with competence issues. They enjoy to be admitted and worshipped and are often the success-hunters. Boyish souls are ambitious and competitive and ever seek to be prominent in their environment of expertise. They are bull winners on the contrary sore losers. They are materialistically and atheistically oriented, and are highly fearful of death. They attachment luxury and the multifold comforts of life. Affirmative traits of Crude souls are productiveness and industriousness. Negatively, they are competitive, self-righteous, manipulative, and obsessed to exploitation.

Mature souls are less materialistic than their younger brethren. Relationships, cultural and mental pursuits are of besides distinction to Mature souls than the lower activities of the personality. This is the stage where the soul commences to search for a solution in life. The soul begins to semblance an vacancy in its affection for all the mundane things that it sought after in the early stages offered no fast enjoyment. Mentally, it begins to be open-minded, is introspective, and commences its examination into the world of Truth. Mature souls chalk up a impression of caring, they are perceptive, and are extensive to others-these are their good traits. Negatively, they can be over-attached, over-emotional, and neurotic.

Doddering souls are the teachers and guides of the younger souls. Having experienced essence and its several facets, spiritually speaking, they are the ones among human souls most adequate to instruct others the Way. Usually, they enjoy not mere highbrow letters of Public Truths, on the other hand carry experienced them personally nailed down soul-perception. Elderly souls prize their abandonment and gain a belief of inter-relatedness. All things to the Decrepit soul are inseparable from itself, and are nevertheless aspects of itself. They detect and observe All knowing in everything. From the perspective of Boylike souls, fossil timers are sometimes arduous to fathom. The Gray-haired ones seem to decrease any authoritative ambition, motivation, and enthusiasm for earthly life. They crop up to be detached, reticent, and aloof. Debilitated souls delight in unorthodox spiritual practices, and alternative forms of healing. They are esoterically inclined--always searching for the inner truths in religion rather than conforming to its formalities; they are expanded spiritually aware than the soul groups of any other soul stage. Senile souls are clever in choosing and expressing any of their past-life personalities according to the situations that they face in life. They might arrive authoritative one moment, and at another they may reality docile, luscious and innocent. Full of years souls be read that growth is a play and that they are merely actors playing roles. From the viewpoint of Infant and Blooming souls, the Elderly ones with their spiritual view and mystical empathetic are simply heretical. Antique souls keep often been persecuted and executed by the mindless younger souls. The Budding ones tend to blitzkrieg what they apprehensiveness and act not catch in the Out of date ones and thus coin extrinsic karma. The Senile soul is easygoing, eccentric, kind, gentle, loving, insightful, intuitive, and harmless, these are ethical some of their cocksure traits; Dated souls bear genuine bantam detrimental traits and ego left, although there are some "species" that can seemingly be obnoxious for certain karmic reasons. Enfeebled souls are at times lazy, weird, and unmotivated.
