Thank you, @peterluxruel – the article in parts emanates more from a religious context, and I sense that you represent more of a spiritual understanding- meaning to access a soulful understanding to advance personally in raising one’s consciousness-it requires personal desire and effort.

As you wrote “A pivotal more esoteric view of the nature of the developing soul is it ability to create without limit within the safety net of the sandbox we refer to as the material world of planet earth. I believe the fundamental question is drawing the distinction between living life from inside out versus outside in. The human soul is ever connected to the divine source the powers it and enables the functioning of the thinking and feeling faculties.”

My response: And one would think that the mind and emotions would be “all in” for this pursuit. From my learning I have been led to see how my MIND and EGO are not so interested in the SOUL taking the lead. And the SOUL, is waiting patiently for us to surrender and allow the MIND and EGO to get out of the driver’s seat and allow the SOUL to drive forward and upward. Once that happens, the MIND, EGO and personality begin to collaborate and get out of the way- but it’s not easy and most are not willing or ready to orchestrate this more evolved collaboration.

It’s a journey and it has many cycles- the mind is always seeming to trick us into getting it back into the driver’s seat and that is what in some cases takes many lifetimes to become more and more humble and ask for help…beyond this world.
