DIMENSIONS OF YOUR SOUL
Your soul is your
MULTIDIMENSIONAL SELF.
The true source, depth and breadth of the soul are a Mystery. There are many different dimensions to your soul-nature and to the realms and realities of the soul.
As you live your life and explore more deeply into yourself you may find that at some point you experience some of these different, ‘non-ordinary’ soul dimensions. You don’t need to go looking for them. They will come into your life if they need to.
Anyone who experiences or explores altered states of consciousness in one form or another will become familiar with a variety of these soul dimensions.
Your soul manifests in this material world as your physical body, and so exists in and speaks to you through the physical dimension, through Nature and the world around you.
It also manifests as your emotional-feeling self, centred in your heart, and as your rational-mental self. So your soul speaks to you in the subtle and not-so-subtle energies of feelings and emotions, thoughts and ideas.
Your soul is most at home in the imaginal realms. This is where the soul can be most creative. These realms are soul realms where imagination, creative ‘fantasy’ and intention fashion the subtle energy dimensions that underlie and interface with the physical world.
This is how and why your soul communicates to you through dreams, images, fantasies, imaginings and the imaginal language of symbols.
Your soul also includes your non-physical spiritual centre, or Self / Higher Self, that is an aspect of, and gateway to, the All, the One, Divine Consciousness. At the level of spiritual Self we are one with all. The Self speaks to you in intuitions, realisations, experiences of unity/oneness, and direct gnosis (deep inner knowing).
Your soul also includes aspects of the Archetypal realms, and past-life / karmic dimensions. It carries our ancestral and intergenerational patterns, energies and dynamics.
It is also the source of our deepest soul-love relationships, of soul-mates, twin soul-mates and twin souls. It may also contain our star nature, our non-human extra-terrestrial and extra-dimensional aspects, our ‘angel’.
Another deeper, wider more expansive aspect of your soul is your ecological self. This is your gateway to Earth consciousness - your ability to connect and commune with Nature, her creatures, elements and her Essential Being.
For your soul is one with the Soul of Nature, the Soul of the Earth - the spiritual Being that the ancients knew as Sophia - the living Wisdom-Intelligence that underlies creation.
And your soul is so much more…
For ultimately the existence of individual soul consciousness, along with the existence of Consciousness and Life itself, is one of the deepest and most profound Mysteries of creation.
The answer to the questions of how the One came into being, and of how the One became the many, is the Great Sacred Mystery Itself.
“The awakening of the Soul, that first blinding flash of new spiritual consciousness which transforms and regenerates the whole being, is an event of fundamental importance and has incomparable value for our inner life.”
(Roberto Assagioli)
