If we\u2019re going to learn to be mature co-creators with God \u2013 fully developed and fully grown with all the powers that God can give \u2013 then we need to learn about our Soul, because that\u2019s the true element of our being. Our being is not our minds, emotions, personality, the family we grew up with, or what country we\u2019re from. The Soul is not masculine or feminine.\u00a0 The Soul is something that\u2019s beyond the body.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/john-roger\">John-Roger<\/a> taught us that our thoughts cannot conceive the greatness of the Soul. That\u2019s beyond our mental ability. Yet, it\u2019s important to remember that the Soul is always positive in nature. The Soul is eternally loving.\u00a0 So to know your Soul, look for love in all things.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a consciousness of the Soul that we call the Traveler, or specifically \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/traveler\">Mystical Traveler<\/a>.\u201d What does that mean? It\u2019s the consciousness of the Soul. And it\u2019s a consciousness inside of each person that guides each one\u2019s awareness into the Soul.<\/p>\n<p>In MSIA, we refer to the Spirit aspect of ourselves as ninety percent of our being and the physical aspect as ten percent. Within that ninety percent, you also have the mind and the inner consciousness &#8211; the Soul.\u00a0 When you\u2019re working with that level, what you\u2019re learning to do is appeal to a higher authority within you and to bring that divine presence more fully into your physical level.<\/p>\n<p>The Soul transcends the physical. The Soul is not controlled by the physical, but it\u2019s influenced by the physical. So make the journey of your Soul enjoyable. The way you live, make it something that\u2019s satisfying today. The way you approach the Soul, do it in a way that\u2019s satisfying.\u00a0 The Soul is joyful.\u00a0 So when you are experiencing the joy of your being, you are knowing your Soul.<\/p>\n<p>A trap on the way to the Soul is expectations. Expectations and judgments are not of the Soul. The Soul is unconditionally loving and accepting. So if you have expectations or judgments about what\u2019s supposed to take place, you set yourself up for disappointment and frustration. The first step in the journey of soul awareness is to move forward with acceptance towards all of God\u2019s creation. It\u2019s simple, but it\u2019s not easy. So your challenge is always before you. Choose to forgive yourself of any judgments or expectations you have about knowing your Soul.<\/p>\n<p>You are already in Soul consciousness right now. You don\u2019t need to do anything except it because you\u2019re already there. As you realize your Soul, you\u2019ll feel grateful for everything that happens. You may even feel ecstatic as you experience the unconditional loving and eternal joy of your Soul.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you are the Light. You are divine. In this physical world, you are becoming aware of what you already are.\u00a0 So love yourself and your journey as God loves you.\u00a0 That\u2019s a key to knowing yourself as a Soul who is one with God.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: How can I know my Soul?
