Soul Clans
Lecture based Questions:
1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.
Your soul mate, or pole opposite is one of your helpers. In fact you must always rise up evenly as you mature in wisdom and character.
2. Who are the members of Soul Clans?
Every living being incarnated on this planet belongs to a Soul Clan. Even bacteria belong to their own generational wave. Since our society is human-centered, we tend to think of everything in terms of people, but all types of life forms come into being in broods or groups of life energy. We hang together (generally speaking) throughout our entire existence. This is our spiritual family, and we always feel connected to each other. Our Soul Opposites are [of course] also in this clan.
3. What are Soul Clans?
Each wave of new life comes forth from the Logos into existence as a group of souls who share a common vibration. In human waves, the number of each clan is about 150 to 200. These souls incarnate together and spend time between lifetimes in each other’s company. During these incarnations, we swap relationships and explore life together. By the time a soul attains the First Degree of Initiation, she or he has given birth to everyone else, and been father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparent, cousin, friend, lover, and spouse to each and every other member of the group.
4. When does a soul become assigned to a Soul Clan? When does one leave it?
The Soul Clan comes into being with the birth of the Monad, which falls from the Logos in a seasonal harvest, like a crop of seeds. Each of these baby Monads is a member of the clan that just came into being. There is an energy connection that remains with each member of this brood, and each helps the other to develop, rise, and perfect itself. When the Monads reach adult stage, they all achieve fruition together and step into their purpose as a host of Logi.
5. From whence do Soul Clans originate?
Each arises from the Logos of one’s planet. Humans are children of the Earth. Nature Spirits and Angels are children of the Sun. A very few people incarnated here are from a different solar system, and they belong to the Logos from that point of origin. We must give them extra sympathy, for they feel very much at odds with their bodies, this planet, and everything on it.
6. Why are we born into Soul Clans? Why not some other system of origin?
The universe is alive with rhythmic bursts and lulls. There is a heartbeat to every type of life, season, relationship, and system. The generation of life on every level also follows the musical rhythms of their parent-creator.
7. How do we recognize members of our Soul Clan?
Our genetic family members are usually also members of our Soul Clan; we incarnate together over and over again. Rarely, we can be born apart from our clan for karmic reasons. We feel attracted to each other when we have incarnated at the same time. From across miles and even countries we gravitate to each other and establish an emotional family that transcends blood, cultural differences, and age. Some members dream about each other before they meet. They also frequently dream about each other afterward. There is a feeling of recognition when we meet a clan member for the first time in a new incarnation. If there is a history of bad karma between two members, there will be instant antagonism and perhaps lifetime feuding. Sometimes there is intense yearning for each other when we have to physically separate.
8. Meditation Exercise: A Circle of Love
There is no cause to feel alone. We are surrounded by the people that we love the most. Let us extend our sense of awareness to encompass them and the even greater circle of blessing that envelops us all.
In a relaxed state, repeat the following affirmations.
• I am holding on each side the hand of a friend.
• What I value is also held dear by the members of my spiritual family.
• The best of what I am becomes a blessing to all those I love.
• Every atom of my being remembers my spiritual brothers and sisters.
• I communicate my joy and success to all my clan.
• I receive blessing from the success of all my brethren.
• Together we rise in harmony, mutual support, and companionship.
• The great hand of the Heavenly Mother-Father Spirit cradles us gently.
The Path of Our Greatest Adventure
Is Strewn with Stars
From the moment that you were first conceived in the boundless mind of the Divine Creator, you were in the company of many others who shared a flavor of your special spiritual imprint. You could say that it is something like a pheromone or a musical tone. You could say that it is like the unique shape that makes a rose a rose. At any rate, you and your clan inherited a mutual seed of becoming, which drives you all in the same direction and forward along common highways. Together you were created, together you rise, and together you will graduate into the cosmic ocean. None shall be left behind and none shall venture forth to the Great Work without the others.
Let us turn our attention to the moment in which you and yours found existence. The beginning is where we call the eighth dimension, although there are conception templates that originate at an even higher level. If you are of the Human Line, the Planetary Logos parented you in a wave of Divine Energy. Those of you from the Nature Line were similarly birthed from the Solar Logos. This nebulous wave soon differentiates into many, very tiny, star-like beings. An observer would say that the sight bears an earthly resemblance to a rainbow of glitter sinking in a tank of water with light shining on the minute flecks as they move. These are what we call virgin monads. They have no experience, no unique savor. There are no major differences among them excepting their particular rainbow stripe, which we call the Rays of Development. This clutch of baby lights is imprinted with the command to learn and develop through the experience of life. Thus begins the journey of individuation. Each of us has the task of becoming unique and colorful through our own set of lifetimes, relationships, and events.
You are familiar with the rest of the story. The Monad expresses many Adonai bodies, which can be compared to infant gods. Each Adonai [in a dreaming state] expresses twin souls to choreograph a series of lifetimes that create passion, wisdom, power, and individuality to the collective being. The Biune Souls in turn create their own Mental Bodies, which give rise to Astral Bodies, which manifest the physical bodies we know and love. The consciousness of the lowest body is encompassed in the consciousness of the highest body.
Our Soul Clan rises in tandem. We are interwoven and interdependent.
