Lecture based Questions:

You know what to do!

2. What is Soulic Consciousness?
The Soul Body has a particular mind set that enables it to contact an unlimited comprehension of possibilities. In other words, it can grasp many different types of truths about any given situation and assimilate this information into a useful and organized response of anticipation and action—all within the space of a split second.
We are endeavoring to show you that it is possible to maintain this level of consciousness for extended periods of time, and eventually at a perpetual state.
3. What does it feel like?
At this level, a continuous awareness of the Guardian Angel is maintained. Also the focus is ever outward rather than self-involved. The closest analogy I can give you is that alpha-brainwave state when a player is entirely engrossed in a fast-moving computer game and has no other distractions allowed into sensory input.
However, Soulic Consciousness is much more comprehensive than that. It allows the disciple to function in daily activities at a very efficient rate, while simultaneously supplying information that allows the pupil to correctly anticipate the incidents that are about to happen. There is no personal analysis nor criticism of the environment.
4. How can we achieve Soulic Consciousness?
You already have within you the capacity for such awareness. All that is needed is a daily practice of dialoguing with the Guardian Angel. This means to ask frequently about the correct choice and then to listen assiduously with your entire body and spirit for the gentle and sweet nudge of her answer. With experience, this interaction becomes instantaneous, solid, and unmistakable. It is never too soon to begin this discipline.
5. What does Soulic Consciousness look like clairvoyantly?
One who is exercising this type of perception has a brightness about the upper body, especially toward the rear of the aura, somewhat resembling wings. Around the head the nimbus continues by extending outward from that region for at least 8 to 10 inches. The major chakras are dilated past the parameters of the physical body, and the hand and foot chakras are also extended.
6. How does Soulic Consciousness connect the Soul and physical bodies?
The Soul Body is always connected to the physical body through the throat chakra. However, the physical brain creates a continuity of energetic feed with the Soul Body during this type of awareness. All the structures of the brain are involved, including the lymbic (instinctive) parts of the nervous system. Etherically, one can observe a strong cable at the back of the neck. This has a silvery quality to it with strands of golden Light and flecks of other colors. The cable infuses the nervous system with a type of energy that communicates a level of Soulic vibration to the physical brain.
7. How are the symptoms of schizophrenia different from Soulic Consciousness?
Schizophrenia is a karmic condition and should neither be judged nor dismissed. There is a fine line between schizophrenia and clairvoyance. Actually in a Venn diagram, the mathematical set of clairvoyants includes both schizophrenics and those practicing SC. However, the circles that represent both parties are separate from each other.
Both could be called clairvoyant, but the differentiating factors in schizophrenia are the following symptoms:
•self-focus
•alienation from other people
•obsessive tendencies
•negative or critical thought paths
•lower Astral World vulnerability
•fluid-filled holes in the gray matter of the brain
•inability to maintain a well-balanced lifestyle in society
•inability to maintain an extended train of thought
•lack of deductive inference.
8. Exercise: Being a Brighter Person
Connecting for the first few times to the vibrational aspect of the Soul Body requires stillness, patience, and a clear nervous system. You may need to use earplugs for this meditation, as auditory distractions can interfere with early attempts.
• Breathing deeply and slowly, visualize a golden shower of Light raining down upon you. With each breath, imagine this golden Light permeating deeper into your physical body.
• Someone is hugging you from behind, as though you are a small child, enveloped by a loving and protective adult. This is your Guardian Angel.
• Continuing your slow and deep breathing, take in this tableau of you and your Guardian in a loving embrace, covered in a shower of Divine Light.
• Now turn your attention outward. There is no concern for body, for self-analysis, for categorization. There is only what you observe. You may open your eyes and remove ear plugs at this point.
• Maintain the breathing pattern, simply take in the environment at a 360° surround-mode. You should be aware of what is behind, above, beneath, to the sides and in front of you. There may be some Etheric vision, but mostly you should be experiencing a state of knowing.
The Magician’s Way
Often, self-observation or self-involvement interferes with the ability to choose modes of interest that would be helpful in creating a successful life. Yet, it is easier than you suspect to channel your mental processes from self-focus to outer focus. Whatever activity you may be engaged in at any time of the day can be carried through with several types of modes of focus.
The one that we are concerned with, however, is the mode of pure expression. Purity in this sense does not mean the result of several incantations or rituals of self-cleansing in mind and body. Instead, we are aiming that arrowhead of the identity that is always the observer.
No matter what state the body is in, the observer is present and whole. No matter what state the emotions are in, the observer is participating in the experience. No matter what state the mind is in, the observer remains independently itself and yet interdependent of the condition. Allow this part of you to be itself—unclothed, uncolored, unshackled.
Let there be no qualifications such as objective, unified, reverent, cosmic, sacred, centered, detached, or reality. Let there only be awareness, as you achieve the tasks of the day with the intention to succeed and understand. The experience is similar to surfing. The wave beneath you is faster than your mind can keep pace with, yet you are riding on top of it, observing it as best as you can and anticipating the direction of its next change. This is the mode of perception that transcends mundane consciousness that is trapped in illusion and neurosis.
Soulic Consciousness brings many benefits to your world and life experience. Below are a few of them, in no particular order.
•You see the rhythm of actuation. Thus you seem to be patient in the act of anticipation, but in reality you are busy observing the process of manifestation in all its incremental phases.
•You are aware of the host of loving individuals surrounding and helping you continuously; you never feel alone or lonely. You always feel encompassed and included.
•You know which traffic lights are going to change, and when.
•You know what the drivers around you are going to do next.
•You understand what people mean in addition to what they are saying. Their body language is clear and their thoughts are apparent.
•You perceive when someone meant for you needs your unique touch of kindness and gracious help.
•Friendship is your eternal interaction with all things and people.
•Your relationship with your body is positive and nurturing.
•Your ability to meet challenges and solve problems is augmented, as you are receptive to the advice of those who dispense Divine Wisdom. Your helpers are included in this group.
•What appears to be discipline to someone observing you is a natural state of order to your own perception.
•You fondly see your environment as a pattern of music and motion made up of people, occurrences, and objects.
In a tunnel of golden Light, faster than genius,
I excavate my way through the fabric of the universe,
time and space giving way to the rightness of Divine Order.
A myriad of constellations of universes
maintain the rhythm of the Light and repeat the songs
of ancient, ancient gods before the dawn of our speculation.
