When we know what the Soul is, there is a level of who we are that does not like being in this world.\u00a0Why do we have to be here?\u00a0To complete and get on with what is next for us.\u00a0 How would you know you are complete?\u00a0 You would be at peace with all creation, particularly yours.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t hold it against yourself or judge it.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a Soul Transcendence Seminar John Morton gave on February 9, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are working our karma in mundane levels, and some of those are inward.\u00a0 Not all of it is in the world. That\u2019s physically, emotionally, mentally \u2013 all those levels.\u00a0 Of course, go for some great spiritual awareness and experiences inwardly.\u00a0 How wonderful it is on other levels of consciousness where you also are, or you visit in some way.\u00a0 That is what Travelers do with their initiates.\u00a0 They take them traveling.\u00a0 That is progressing.\u00a0 Go ahead and claim that at the level of your heart.\u00a0 You can have the experience that things are better than ever at the level of your heart.\u00a0 The spiritual heart?\u00a0 Sure, of course.\u00a0 Claim it.<\/p>\n

John-Roger called it \u201cSoul Realm Mockup.\u201d\u00a0 You imagine what it would be like.\u00a0 Your imagination has no limit.\u00a0 As good as you can imagine it, consider it can be better.\u00a0 As soon as you let go of limitation in your imagination, at some point you would have something that is no longer your imagination.\u00a0 You\u00a0know<\/u><\/em>\u00a0it.\u00a0 You would know it such that it would take your breath away.\u00a0 You would say, \u201cOh my God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, you are back in your body going, \u201cI saw something, I really saw it! How can I get back there?\u201d\u00a0 Do something like what you just did.\u00a0 What was that?\u00a0 Claiming it and using your imagination as a transport mechanism.<\/p>\n

Some people tell me, \u201cI don\u2019t have an imagination.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t get issued one.\u201d\u00a0 Okay, but use it anyway.\u00a0 If it comes up blank, give yourself a chance.\u00a0 Do something concrete where you try to write it down or draw it.\u00a0 Even if you draw it like when you were three or four years old.\u00a0 Get in there where you are really open to explore it.\u00a0 If you get to a place where you are discouraged, knock that off.\u00a0 It is not meant to discourage you or for you to feel like, \u201cI can\u2019t do this. I\u2019m not qualified or worthy.\u00a0 I\u2019m not chosen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forget about all that kind of stuff.\u00a0 Exercise your God nature.\u00a0 Is that anything like spiritual exercise?\u00a0 Yes, of course.\u00a0 It\u2019s another way of getting at it.\u00a0 You allow yourself to come into the consciousness of Soul.\u00a0 Just say, \u201cTraveler!\u201d\u00a0 What comes after that is something like, \u201cWork with me,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m open, here, and available.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s more of an intention than a formula.\u00a0 Chant the names that are spiritually charged so that when you do your part, something more can be done than what you are doing. There is no limit on that.\u00a0 It\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

One of the things that is allowed is for you to have inner experiences you do not remember.\u00a0 Consider that could be vast because you kept doing that.\u00a0 It\u2019s way beyond what you could fathom or bring back, but it is going on.\u00a0 If you can make room for that, choose that, then choose to go ahead and have the inner experience with the Traveler, even if you don\u2019t remember it.\u00a0 Allow yourself to have the experience.\u00a0 Get the value of the experience even if you don\u2019t remember.\u00a0 Go for it.\u00a0 See what shows up.<\/p>\n

Let your mind be open.\u00a0 That\u2019s not necessarily easy.\u00a0 Our mind is used to being very specific in its limited way.\u00a0 Allow your mind to be relaxed so it is not trying to run things.\u00a0 One way to do that is to let what comes into your mind come in, but not focus on what that is.\u00a0 Keep your focus on what you are looking for, what your Soul consciousness would bring to your awareness.\u00a0 Even those words are limiting, so how do you learn to do that?\u00a0 Don\u2019t talk about it.\u00a0 Practice it.<\/p>\n

When we get into practicing, it\u2019s uplifting every time.\u00a0 It can be so uplifting you aren\u2019t physically in it.\u00a0 When you come back into the body, there is an awareness.\u00a0 You know you went somewhere really good, and you feel better.\u00a0 You got a clearing, balancing, healing, and some joy.\u00a0 That is the soul\u2019s energy field.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a disappointing, negative energy field. It\u2019s always something like, \u201cThat\u2019s lovely.\u00a0 Oh, that is beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n

What is the price we pay?\u00a0 Clearing karma.\u00a0 There is still that to do.\u00a0 It is helpful for you to have less karma with the psychic-material worlds while you are in the body.\u00a0 You want to keep that moving.<\/p>\n

When we know what the Soul is, there is a level of who we are that does not like being in this world.\u00a0 Why do we have to be here?\u00a0 To complete and get on with what is next for us.\u00a0 How would you know you are complete?\u00a0 You would be at peace with all creation, particularly yours.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t hold it against yourself or judge it.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t carry it forward as something you have to do in the law of reversibility to balance out that karma.\u00a0 You would let grace complete it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d give it to the Christ, and I\u2019d go free.\u00a0 Don\u2019t put a measure on that gift.\u00a0 Just give it up and let it go.\u00a0 Along the way, you needed to learn something.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t have done that mistake or transgression, and you need to balance that so you wouldn\u2019t do it again.\u00a0 Let it go so you are in balance with it.\u00a0 You learned what you needed to learn.\u00a0 That\u2019s enough.\u00a0 Then best part of it is to forget about it.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t remember things in your past existence that you don\u2019t need to remember, that\u2019s in your favor.\u00a0 If you get to a place where you are unhappy, disturbed, and \u201cmad as hell and can\u2019t take it anymore,\u201d thinking \u201cGet me out of here or else!\u201d you have to clear that.\u00a0 You need to enter into a state of openness, so your innocence and vulnerability is back.\u00a0 You come as you are.<\/p>\n

You may feel, \u201cI\u2019m inadequate and I don\u2019t deserve this.\u201d\u00a0 Just come anyway.\u00a0 Show up at the place where the Lord is and be willing to look at the Lord face-on.\u00a0 There are millions or zillions of souls doing this.\u00a0 How could someone possibly get right up and be the closest one to the Lord?\u00a0 How is that even possible?\u00a0 Because that is where you want to be.\u00a0 All souls want to be there.\u00a0 They all can because there is room.\u00a0 That is part of God\u2019s miracle.<\/p>\n

We can each have that oneness where \u201cThe Lord and I are one.\u201d\u00a0 We are one in the beauty of what that is.\u00a0 We do it in the way that it is individualized in our Soul consciousness.\u00a0 You do it as you.\u00a0 You do the Christ as you.\u00a0 Everybody has that opportunity.\u00a0 There is no conflict there.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like there is only one \u201cking of the mountain.\u201d\u00a0 We could all be at the peak, the place of the highest consciousness.\u00a0 The mind will protest and tell you it doesn\u2019t work like that.\u00a0 But in spirit, it works like that.\u00a0 Let go of how it is in the world because you are not long for this world.\u00a0 There is a truth, even in this lifetime, that we are not long for this world.\u00a0 When we get above it and see what it is, this lifetime is like a blink.\u00a0 What did you do with that blink?\u00a0 Blink again and go higher.\u00a0 Blink again and we are with God.<\/p>\n

You are with God and it\u2019s immediate.\u00a0 You are learning how to let the mind leave you alone when you go.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that the mind can bind you, but it does when we are subservient to it.\u00a0 If your mind is kind of running your life, run it for your good. Get the mind to be your servant.<\/p>\n

Take some of the things you have been doing, those habitual ways of making a mess, and clear that up.\u00a0 This world is a place of messes.\u00a0 You are probably going to make a mess again, so clean it up.\u00a0 Then keep it up.\u00a0 Keep it clean.\u00a0 Make only messes you can clean up today.\u00a0 Then, if you don\u2019t quite make it, bring it to the Christ within and see that the Christ will take it from you, and you go free.<\/p>\n

Blessing of Courage to Walk with the Lord<\/h5>\n

Lord God, we come before You,
\nblessed in Your presence and the joy of who You are
\nand who we are together in fellowship.
\nWe ask that You touch each one of us now personally.
\nBless every part of us.
\nLet us experience Your touch and the loving of who You are
\nin the depth of our being into every cell.<\/p>\n

Lord, we give You permission and we invite You
\ninto all aspects of our life,
\nknowing that where You go,
\nyou bring the Holy Presence that is the sanctity and the purity.
\nWe let go, and we release all that is past now.
\nWe come forth with You to do what You do,
\nfollow in Your way,
\nand walk with You stride for stride.<\/p>\n

Give us Your courage, the depth of Your knowing,
\nthat we may too, have the courage in the face of all that meets us,
\nknowing that Your will is done, as God’s will is done.
\nMay we align with Your will, Lord, to do the blessings of the Christ.<\/p>\n

We are grateful that You bequest us with a comforter
\nthat is the Holy Spirit.
\nNow we come to the oneness of that companion.
\nThe Holy Spirit is what we breathe and what we do in all of our ways.
\nExtend this blessing, dear Lord,
\nto all those who are open across the planet.
\nMay all bear the Light and sanctify the place
\nwhere they may find themselves.
\nWe give the prayers of the heart up to You, Lord,
\nknowing that You know no burden.<\/p>\n

All is welcomed. All is forgiven.
\nIn Your grace we ask that this extend
\nto those who are in ignorance and in darkness,
\nthose who have forgotten themselves
\nin their fears, judgments, and the pains of their existence.
\nMay we comfort them in the Spirit and soothe them in their troubles.
\nMay we be part of that blessing that comes forth through Spirit
\nfrom the invisible into the visible \u2013 in the worlds beyond that is God,
\nthis world, and all the universes.
\nWe do this by our faith and trust in You.<\/p>\n

We know we are upon a time where we are not to tarry,
\nto look back, to cast our vision on what is forsaken.
\nWe are in a time to go forth serving all,
\nloving all until that day
\nwhen we know ourselves in Your face.<\/p>\n
