Spiritual Body, Higher Soul & Will

Could you tell us something about our different bodies and whether the ‘spiritual body’ is the same as the ‘etheric body’, please?

Your spiritual body resides within and yet outside. The etheric is only outside.  The etheric is the result of the energy passed on to you from your spiritual body. What you truly ‘are’, child, is the spiritual spark. But when you need to take physical form, when the spark must divide itself into two, one remains in the realm of Knowledge and the other resides in the realm of Forgetfulness. When you divide, and you take on physicality, the energy must be continuous and flow to your physical body. Otherwise, the physical body will die instantaneously. The etheric bodies are the channels through which this energy is gently transmitted to the physical body, eventually reaching the physical body in a manner that will not cause any discomfort. My son mentioned a dizzy spell. He and others of their group are being trained to reach this energy without making use of etheric bodies, so that the communication channels are quicker. The physical could not easily take such a high surge of energy.  He has consciously made a free-will decision to undertake such exercises and therefore, these experiences `and discomfort must be a part of his process, but unless this is a free-will conscious choice,  the energy that reaches the physical body must be very, very gradual. And it is only to sustain the physical body. It is not meant for a spiritual growth, or a rise in vibrations. Is this clearer?

Sir, you mentioned that from now on we should say, ‘My will be done’. But every time I want……..

Child, not your small, ego, intellectual ‘will’, the will of your Higher Soul……will be done. Because your plan was not made by your small physical mind. It was made by the larger Universal Mind that each one of you possesses.  And therefore, it is the will of that, that is followed. Child, you feel distinct and separated from your Higher Presence. Your first lesson must be to bring about Unity. Because you are this. And you are that. And they must be one, because they ARE one. Does that answer your question?

Sir, but if I don’t realise now what my higher spiritual soul planned, isn’t that the reason why we undergo so much pain and suffering?

   
Yes. Because dear one, it is the intellectual mind that has been conditioned by reason to always ask ‘why’,’how’, what’,’when’, where’. It never asks, ‘why not?’  Ask that question and the Unity is created.  And yes, you are right again, my child. Each one of you, due to the veil of forgetfulness, has forgotten to one degree or the other, that particular reason that you planned in that particular way. And this must be so; the veil of forgetfulness must be placed because you live in a realm of free-will choice and free-will choice cannot be made without the veil of physical forgetfulness. So, yes my child, you have forgotten. And yet, have ‘you’ forgotten?  Are the questions of this mind so important that they must be answered?  And sacrifice the knowledge of this light within you?   When the merger is complete, the veil will be lifted and you will know why. But, for that merger, there must be a free-will, deliberate decision. This (the ego/mind) with all respect, will be asked to step down…..and this (the higher soul) with all adoration, will be asked to enter.  But it must be a free-will, deliberate choice.  
 

Sir, why this perverse thing……that first you build up the dirt, which then has to be cleansed?

You ask me   as though I am the perverse one.

 
Sir, you’re chucking it back at me.

  
Of course, I am. Who else would I chuck it back to?  My son, the grime is not mine. It never was. And it certainly never will be. It is yours. Yes, I can answer how it has built up. It has built up due to resistance. It has built up because when there was a small speck of dirt, you were either lazy and did not wish to work enough to cleanse it at once, or you were scared and you closed the temple doors and you said, ‘what I cannot see, does not exist.’ That is why, my son, so many do not believe in me. ‘I’ do not exist. Once the temple doors were closed, the dirt did not disappear. It attracted to it from the universe, more and more and more dirt. Till today, when you open the door after so many years, the floor that had only one speck of dirt when you closed the doors is now covered with grime. Now……who is perverse?

  
Sir, why the speck of dust in the first place?

Because you resisted what you had chosen. It is as simple as stating that, “I will sit upon this chair.”  It is of your choice. No one has forced you to use this chair. And then, when the chair is brought before you to sit, you sit in the chair with full resistance and say, ‘I cannot fit into this. Let me break its arm. And its leg.’ What you have now is no more a chair, it is what you have ruined of a wonderful experience, due to your resistance. That ruin is your speck of dirt.

Sir, but there’s no getting off the past?

Who are ‘we’ to tell you that?  You got onto it out of your own free will. You are in it out of your own free will.   You are driving it out of your own free will. And then, you turn around and tell us, “now stop the bus that I am driving.” Would you like to try that on a busy road?  With another driver?
