Some Thoughts on Soul Status:

First of all, you need to repeat to yourself the Mantram of Uunification.  It is this mantram that basically defines in a progressive manner soul status in a broad outline as one moves down the mantram line by line:

 

The Sons of Men are One and I am one with them.

I seek to love not hate.

I seek to serve and not exact due service.

I seek to heal not hurt.

Let pain bring due reward of light and love.

Let the soul control the outer form and life and all events.

And bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the times.

Let vision come and insight.

Let the future stand revealed.

Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.

Let love prevail.

Let all men love.

 

Each unit of life reflects, in a reasonable way, certain broad outlines of the larger group he is a part of.  It is these broader outlines as they become more defined that permit his status to increase.  Let us look at what some of these might be:

  • The ability to see the real needs of others.
  • The ability to know the cause of an event.
  • The ability to rescue lost souls.
  • The capacity to receive consciously from the ashram.

It is these various abilities and capacities that inevitably allow one to ascend.

Next, create your own list of known abilities and capacities you feel compelled to generate and demonstrate that has attracted your attention up to now. See how they interface together for you as a grouping in terms of your soul’s purposes.

Next, you need to find the time to correlate the items of your list to your own real needs and heart’s intents perceived along these lines.

Next, it would be wise of you to express in your own terms what it means to have status as a soul vs. worldly status.

Next, you would be wise to see yourself, if dedicated to reality and truth, as growing in soul status. What would this mean for you and what would you have to do to make it happen.

Next, how is your life organized as a soul and what does this mean it terms of status.

Next, explain in your own terms what it would be like now if you had the status your soul desired.

Next, see yourself in the future expressing these abilities and capacities.  What images do you invoke.

Next, take some time to relate to the idea of securing grace in relationship to these abilities/capacities—what would you ask for.

Next, take some time to order your thoughts around establishing a day-to-day rhythm that would unfold these.

Next, organize your thoughts to better express your ideas on how to achieve your life goals with this in mind do the two interface or not.

Next, examine a way to achieve your life goals incorporating these values.

Next, align yourself with the soul and meditate on this.

Next you need to be aware that each student must perform some series of demonstrations to show fitness of status; these demonstrations are between them and their souls,

First of all, you must decide what you receive in reflection has merit or not for your standing.   It is important to discuss with yourselves the ultimate choices you can make each day that reflect your ultimate values.  By this I mean you must decide your spiritual status—a must difficult thing to do for two reasons: first because your humbleness does not permit you to dwell upon it and secondly because it does not seem relevant to your immediate service needs.  You might think differently about this if you perceived it not in this way but as a means to establish truth of your reality.  Knowledge itself is not misleading if it is correctly used to discern the One Path.

You might ask yourself how it is that I have been given a choice to see myself as I am or not.  This choice you have always had and use it to define yourself continuously why stop at the personality level.

You have been given the idea of registering for yourself your status as a soul.  I might warn you this is of no easy accomplishment as it reflects ages of accomplishment and self-incriminations. Together these produce a haze of uncertainty as to your real condition as perceived from above.

You have been given the idea of registering for yourself certain elements that will determine your status overall, but these are relative conditions and have no place in the life of the soul but never the less can be perceived as useful.  You must find the time to discern their real meaning in the light of the group as opposed to the personality.

You have also been given the idea of securing grace—what does this mean when it comes to demonstration? It means that there are certain elements outside of your control and these elements need to be addressed to successfully demonstrate your status as a soul on the earth. Status is only about the three-worlds not about the soul on its own level.

You have been given the idea of having compunction in performing your daily rituals under your soul’s care.  These rituals are of ultimate value in that they lead you to successfully demonstrating your abilities and capacities and point out to you, if completed, your limitations.  It is only once you know your limitations can grace be invoked.

You have been given the idea of registering for others their particular limitations that need to be addressed.  It is these limitations that will permit them to share in the group life and allow the group to work with them to overcome these.

You need to know that each person here is about to make a change in their life because those who have accepted have also been given a guide related to group soul to assist in these limitations.

You have been undermined before in demonstrating the required abilities and capacities to obtain soul status.  For all of us there have been many failures but these failures were basically unconscious, but the trend of our lives suggest they were there.  You have also been successful given you are here where you are at.  I have found that if these tests of demonstrations become more a conscious part of your development plan then one’s ability to succeed is enhanced greatly—as energy follows thought.

You have been giving the idea of relating to others more advanced in yourself to overcome your limitations, whether these take the form of books, people, or situations, all has aided us up to the point we are at, and the gratitude we have for these are great.  Never the less all of these together mean little if compared to the support we can find once we consciously align to the soul and thus group soul.

You have been given the idea of retreating into yourself on a daily basis to discover the truth about your life.  It is this process that needs to be established externally somehow, in your day-to-day activities.  It is only when this happens can you fully expand.  The goal set for the 4th initiation is the complete inner connection at all times to yourself and the group.

You must realize that each of us are not what we appear to be and this is due to karma.  Do not let your mystical ideas of spirituality delude you into thinking it must look like this or look like that; or what is depicted by the existing cultural image of what it is like to be spiritual.  These are only the group sub-personality’s ability to cognize the truth.  The truth up to this point in history has predominately 2-4-6 ray presentation and if you are not along that ray you will not be able to identify as easily and miss the opportunities to be yourself.

You must endeavor to find a way to control and enhance your brain receptivity to your soul.  This is no easy task and requires above all purity of the bodies.

You must also endeavor to find a way to enhance the constructing and organizing of your mental body and heart to reflect the souls to ultimately enhance the soul’s status. May it be so.
