This piece depicts two souls chatting on a higher plane following an incarnation on Earth. This is a fictional conversation and bit different than my normal writing. I hope you enjoy : )

Welcome back from the Academy. How did it go?

Where do I even begin! Let’s just say that although I miss certain people, it feels good to be on this softer plane.

What is it like?

Well, for a very long period I forgot everything. I forgot who I was. I forgot why I had come there. I forgot that I was eternal. I forgot the Law of One. All of this made everything down there feel very important even though most weren’t. It was like I had to squeeze everything in before I ran out of time. Oh yeah, I guess there was a notion of linear time. I took time very seriously too.

Wow. Did you like time?

Like most of the experience, there were components that felt nice and others that felt less convenient. For a long time, I didn’t really know anything else so I never considered experience without time. The nice part of time is that it creates meaning for things. It makes you savor an experience because it does not last. Learning to savor an experience was one of my lessons. I had to learn to be present. When space-time is introduced, there is a tendency to think in the future or the past. This was partially because you identify as an entity that could experience death for a while. Even when you see you are more than this, maintaining presence is a skill that must be nurtured.

Time-space also had implications for what could be accomplished. Some things like the manipulation of matter happen slower down there. You can’t just seamlessly create things or go places easily like you can here. There are some people that can accomplish this at the academy that use this to help the humans, but they are few and far between. The constructs on the plane are too strongly embedded in the consciousness as a result of cultural information for people to move beyond them.

What didn’t happen slowly down there were the lessons! What a turbulent environment life on Earth can be. I guess the rapid growth is why we go.

Did you accomplish your mission?

Mostly. It took me a long time to remember what I set out to do. For the first part of my journey, there was a veil that prevented me from remembering it. Pretty much everyone has it for at least a period. So I had forgotten all the things I had learned from all these other experiences and the truth about my nature.

There were all these mission-like activities that I thought were my mission. I made them very important. But they were actually just stepping stones to a bigger mission I was unaware of. I didn’t realize that they were just requisite experiences to position me for the real mission. Until I did.

What was your mission?

I needed to learn some things while also helping other souls on this plane. In order to help others, I needed to have the experiences I did first. The first part of the experience contained a lot of what humans would consider “highs and lows”. These characterizations are based on cultural concepts that create aversions to certain types of sensory-information experiences called emotions. The fascinating thing is that the lows are actually somewhat self created. I say somewhat because the concepts are inherited unknowingly through exposure to ideas. This means that most humans don’t have a choice to experience the aversions. It is a crisis of meaning, not objective reality.

I could not see any of this because of the veil. Like the other souls, I would try to avoid these experiences because I saw things as good or bad. I did not know that nothing could harm me; that I had actually come to experience the full spectrum of feelings in this denser plane of form.

Many humans never get to understand the full context of their suffering until they return here for their healing. It took me a long time in order to begin to clear the blurs from my eyes. At first, the hardship was needed in order to direct me back to the path of remembrance. You could call it a “forcing function.” My personality complex required some major force! 

Over time, I began to understand this. And then with greater understanding, I could see how the hardships were a part of the mission too in that they enabled me to serve. It created empathy, a shared understanding, and requisite knowledge for me to contribute. Without going through these things, I would not have been able to serve. 

On Earth they have these healers called Shamans . In order to become a Shaman you must experience illness and learn to heal. This right of passage enables you to more effectively heal others. It’s kind of like that.

A lot of the good stuff that happened to me was also so that I could serve. Most of the souls around me did not remember why they had come either. So we all were caught up in this experience that felt very separate. We played lots of games in the separateness. In order to help people see beyond the games, I needed to have success in the games. It was the only way to create interest that would entice someone to use their free will to entertain a different game: the game of consciously working on their awareness and realization. 

This was the primary purpose of the success. Though I could not see for most of the time. It was more of a positioning to serve than the purpose I thought it was for, for a good part in the academy.

How did that go? 

When I finally remembered why I had come, things became much more clear and fun. It gave meaning to so many things I had gone through that at one point my personality looked at with disappointment. It became clear that everything had been unfolding for a reason. I just couldn’t see the big picture and arc of it all in the moment.

When I finally saw what was going on, I realized I was supported by the infinite. I accepted the call to serve. Returning to the loving support of the infinite Creator/Creation felt like coming home. It made everything so much easier. Instead of needing others to feel home, I found home in my true Self. I am never alone and never have been.

Wow. How did it feel to feel separate from the Creator/Creation?

I didn’t like it, but I also didn’t know better. Most didn’t. During the formation years, I was told the Source of all existence was like a watchful father in the sky instead rewarding or punishing instead of that we are in unity as One. There were lots of people experiencing a myth of hierarchy due to ignorance. These were also some historical and current forces aimed at keeping souls from recognizing their divine nature and power. You learn the only way to handle this situation is to have compassion for both groups who are positioned at various degrees on the spectrum of ignorance. With this understanding, you also recognize that love is the strongest sword because it is forged in the foundational element of what we are. 

How did you start to remember all this?

Well, I guess you could say I kind of kickstarted the process by forcing certain circumstances. 

What do you mean?

When it was clear that we were starting to go off track from the intended mission, circumstances were created that redirected me as a personality. My personality tried to fight these shifts again and again, but eventually it became clear that the only way through was to surrender to the circumstances. Eventually the activities and changes required to expand my awareness transformed from a chore to enjoyable. In fact, it became the most interesting part of my experience. 

Once the connection with the deeper I that stands in front of you was established, a growing union began to blossom. This allowed me to guide my awareness down there in a way that previously I did not have access to. Early on this would be done during meditation, through spontaneous insights, and also in dreams. The dreams were archetypes for the things that needed to be recognized in order to remove the obstructions from the connection.

Eventually the connection remained more persistently open and then there started to be remembrance of why I came, along with other information that I needed to serve. This felt like revelation. It was hard to believe how I had forgotten!

Would you go back?

I am glad to be at rest. But I will go back. There is more work to do. The forces of love and light desire to help more beings evolve.  

Besides, this is what we do : )
