A young boy asked, “Where do Souls live?”
It’s taken me a long while to get an appropriate answer to that question.
To do that, I had to start with where we are. Who we are.
I’ve come to understand that we are the expression of our immaterial individual essences…our Souls…the Experiencers of our experiences …in where we are, now.
But, where is that where?
It’s life in this 3-dimensional existence of solidified molecular structure in which we have senses with which to do our experiencing.
It’s where our Souls…our Higher Selves…are, currently, locked-in in terms of overview…the where they are observing an ego that does the experiencing according to the setup of our Soul’s “mood” or want of learning; its need of learning, at this time.
And, as these Experiencers, we can call in our Souls’ wisdom and relate to it…or not…during this particular journey of life.
However, we are born into this dimension with amnesia. And, the process of life is to deal with challenges and delights chosen and presented to us to, hopefully, advance and, eventually, find our way “home.”
Once on that track, those challenges and delights will, expectantly, awaken us to a sense there is something beyond this dimension…that wherever we physically are and whatever we are doing is a preparation for something beyond the confines of our egos.
This realization will bring us to a new sense of life, a 4th Dimension, where there emerges an understanding we must go through a cleansing of both imposed and internalized issues that are preventing us from moving forward and achieving this “beyond.”
And, if we submit to this cleansing, we will be able to reach a 5th Dimension where there is a true sense of selfhood, of an empowerment that embraces not only ourselves, but all others, as well.
Once one reaches this connection to All…this 5th Dimension…, there will be an experience of soulitude where we realize this current life…this ego…is part of a greater beingness and we can begin the ascension into new levels of understanding.
It’s in that 5th Dimension ascension we will realize we Earthlings exist in a parallel dimension with our Souls’, that they are “home” and that, when we have completed our current life’s journey, we will be unleashed and unfettered…free to enjoy “R&R” in that parallel dimension…before, of course, returning to new Earthly lives and beginning the process again and again until our Soul’s destiny is realized.
I liken it to rising in an elevator, reaching upper floors of a building from which the view becomes more expansive the higher we go as we get closer to fulfilling our destinies. (Why else do you think humankind has always been so obsessed with towers and higher and higher buildings? It’s in our DNA!)
As I see it, in this “structure” the Angels have the highest floors in order of their hierarchy with the Elemental Spirits under theirs, followed by human Souls and those of conscious beings from any other planets on floors consistent with their individual ascendancy. Yet, each view is sufficient for a Soul’s current ability to see, so none feels less than or envious of another.
Part of the Past Life Regressions through which I’ve taken countless people over the years is having them experience what happens after death. With only the exceptions of a few very tortured individuals, clients have expressed a sense of true freedom to the point that it is difficult to move some of them into a subsequent life experience. (“Leave me alone. I’m enjoying this too much,” is a common reaction.)
So, the answer to the “boy,” who I admit was me, is that the abode of Souls exists in an alternate dimension that is parallel to ours, so our Souls may “see” and guide our ascension to the degree we allow…hoping to get better views from “higher floors” as we progress in achieving the realization of their destinies, each time around.
