1. Zeb:> You asked what is the Soul and Spirit--desiring to understand the difference between the two and the confusions that your language creates for you. Your language refers to "The Spirit World" as where we are (when we are more than "spirits,") and "Spiritual" when you study the things of God. Who wouldn't be confused when it comes to what is "spirit" and what is "soul?" Maybe We can help you some within your language.

2. To recall, words are but symbols for the meaning you assign to them. We have nothing to do with this choice, but to communicate with others you must translate concepts into your words that don't often fit neatly. The reason words fail you is that for essentially "One People" (humanity) you have many languages—word symbols you often freely exchange from one language to another to cover meaning more accurately. Then when you consider your languages will gradually change over a very short period of celestial time, adds to your confusion. For example, the things that Zarna is bringing from Mel's memory regarding The SAM Meditation and the associated Power Symbols not only come from a long dead human language but also from a period of time when your thinking processes were entirely different.

3. This is why, as we and others have said, We do not speak in words, but you must and do. Not all of you have mastered the telepathic knowing transfer that lies beneath your languages and even when you do, you mistrust your feelings and rely on unreliable words.

4. This said, "What is the Soul?" and "How does this differ from the Spirit?" Are they but two words for the same thing? In one sense they are. They are both energy. Not the opposite sides of the same waveform of energy but a reflection of the other in a set, specific order of influences:

SOUL -- BODY -- SPIRIT

5. The seen and the unseen, in that the body and spirit are normally the seen and the soul, the unseen. But which one is the image and which one is the reflection? Once you begin to understand the difference between the seen and the unseen you can begin to understand the soul and spirit.

6. As We said, both the soul and spirit are energy, yet the soul forms, fashions and envelops the body giving it many unique and recognizable features from your Composite Soul (all the "yous" you have ever been). The spirit is a reflection of the body in each given lifetime, but like the Composite Soul creates as many bodies as it needs, the body creates as many spirit images of itself as it needs--one representing each major period of that life and one overall image that represents your lifetime this time.

7. Take two full length mirrors facing each other and step in between them. What do you see? "Why, myself!" you will answer. But do you see your true self, or merely a reflection of yourself? If you answer it is a reflection of yourself, you are only partially right. It is a reflection of your body which is a reflection of yourself. Look over the shoulder of your reflection and what do you see? More "you's" lined up in a row leading out into infinity--thousands of yous. Your body is in the middle of two opposing full length mirrors. Now look over your shoulder behind you and what do you see? Thousands of yous looking over their shoulders back at you. Think of those as your individual incarnational selves--or past lives you have lived. The only difference which this mirror cannot show you (for it is not a "Magic Mirror") is that all those other yous will look different and will sometimes be of a different sex, but they are all the yous of your Composite Soul.

8. This progression is important in another way--the soul is Who You Are both cumulatively and individually. Who You Are now is composed of Who You Were before in a long chain of individual personalities and lives.

9. We can use these mirrors to further describe the soul and spirit if you can imagine another pair of full length mirrors to each side. Now you are surrounded by mirrors front and back, side to side--what do you see? Again look to your right and you will see an infinite line of reflections, look to your left and you see the same things--these will represent soul fragments and spirit fragments which I will discuss later.

10. We, as God, create the initial spark of energy that becomes your Composite Soul. Yet you are a part of an even greater body of energy, for simplicity sake let us call that God. In that form you saw Your Plan (God's Plan) before you chose to become an individual part of that plan. All are a part of that plan and all have a central purpose or Mission , otherwise you would still be a part of the Original energy that is without form or substance. Even We are a part of that Plan.

11. You are a physical part of that Plan, meaning you are an individualized part of your Composite Soul--complete and unique. You have a unique reflection that changes hourly, daily, monthly and yearly as you progress towards physical maturity and beyond. These are all reflections of you.

12. The little girl in a swimsuit on the beach with a giant plastic beach ball almost as large as she at the age of three; the happy young face of the high school and then college graduate--so full of hope and promise, to the happy face of the young bride taking her first bite of her wedding cake in her bridal gown. But which one is you? They all are. All of these and more are and were images of you.

13. All of these images are images of your Spirit. Look closely at the smile on the little toddler's face and compare it to the smile on the young graduate's face or the young bride's. Is there not a similarity you can see? All before it shares a common bond, the same can be said of your soul. Now if asked "Which one would you like to be again?" You might point to the young college graduate dressed in her black gown with a blue cape as she receives her Master of Arts in Humanities. That might be your overall spirit representation of you at your finest hour.

14. These images are like the photo album of your life--each chosen at will to represent a stage of your life. The bride's photo is followed by a Mother then a Grandmother. Why would you choose the Mother's image over the Grandmothers--much less the college graduate's?

15. When you have transitioned to the Otherside and one of your children joins you--would you wear the image of the college graduate? No. That was before they were born. They wouldn't recognize you. How about if one of your grandchildren joins you, would you wear the image of the Mother? No. That too would be before they (the grandchildren) were born. They wouldn't recognize you. When these images are no longer needed they blend back into the one you like the most--the college graduate's.

16. If asked, "Why is the college graduate's image so popular?" You might say, "That is before the marriage failed and left me with two children to raise on my own.' You each have a reason for choosing your favorite image.

17. The same applies to the images of the past lives you have led. These would be your various incarnational aspects of your soul, with one big exception ... they are all different but similar.

18. Say there are three hundred lined up behind each other to greet you. They are all you. Each one has a different range of spirit images to choose from and soul images behind them and in front of them.

19. As you look down the line, you think," Oh, wow! one of them is a giant hunk of a man with a bright helmet and a broad hairy chest. What's he doing in your line with his long sword? But wait, you look closer at his face and notice a familiar turn of the lips, a twinkle in his eyes that seems familiar. Then it dawns on you, "Oh My God! That's me, too!" and answer, "Yes, it is."

20. Suddenly one comes forward from somewhere down the line--a beautiful young woman with open arms and radiating a familiar smile to welcome you home with love. You know intuitively that she is also you, but something about her also tells you that she is the overall soul image of all your lives. She is a reflection of all you have ever been.

21. Another big difference between the soul and the spirit is that the soul is bound to part of your Composite Soul, which is bound to your Immediate Twin Soul Family, which is a part of your Mission Group, which is part of your Soul Group, which is part of your Soul Parents (Us or others) which are part of those above them, and others above them until you reach the Consortium of the All Thing (The One Big God).

The Spirit is Always Free

22.The Soul is always a part of the hierarchy of God. The Spirit is part of the hierarchy of you in this life and is free to travel and experience. In this way your Spirit serves you as you serve the Hierarchy of God--experiencing life. The Spirit is free to travel to other dimensions, other universes, other places within your universe or into the past or futures. When the Soul departs the body--the body is dead. Not so with the Spirit. The Spirit is always free to travel at night in your dreams, Astral Travel or Remote Viewing.

23. The Spirit is joined to the physical body by the mythical "Silver Cord." I call it "mythical" for if you believe in it you will see it, but it isn't real. Can you imagine if it were real how entangled with millions of other cords on your planet alone it could get? The Silver Cord is your mythical connection with your body and your body is connected to the soul.

24. But where is the Soul? The Soul encompasses your body and protects it from the outside. It is what many of you call the Human aura. It is also that which Guardian Angels attach themselves to.

25. The Spirit is within your body--which is another reason that most refer to the world within the body as "The Spiritual World." Our world, The Otherside, does not lie "out there" but within. You are the connection or channel between the two dimensions.

26. When the soul departs, the body dies and the cord is broken. The seen (spirit) and the unseen (soul) return for the final transition of physical/spiritual life--The Joining and The Marriage of Lights. (Not necessarily at the same time)

27. Twin Souls can sometimes be joined in the physical (it is still a rare event). The Marriage of Lights always occurs on this side of the great divide with the physical dimension and the Marriage of Lights is often witnessed in the physical realm by some cosmic event.

28. The Soul has its unfinished journey "To God You Return," ascension to ever higher levels of God and the roles chosen even before the beginning. The Spirit is released to go where she wants to go. Remember, regardless of your physical gender, your Spirit is a she. It is just the way it is.

29. The Spirit may have its own mission if it chooses when it is free. Recently Our Speaker Melvyn was discussing spirit energy with Caryl in connection with the article he was writing, but even they confused spirit energy with negative energy in one case. That case being the difference between the negative energy that inhabits old battle grounds or other places of human tragedy and the spirit energy that inhabits Native American burial grounds. The latter is neither negative energy nor evil spirits. They are the spirits of the People who were united with the land. Few have been since their part of it. Others have tried to possess the land. The Native American was part of it. It was this that alerted Caryl that Melvyn held some residual knowing that had never been expressed in one of Our Messages before.
30. She considered, rightly so, that these beings were humans just like us. They had souls that went to the Otherside, but the big difference she was not aware of is that many had spirits united with the land--especially in their ancient burial mounds and grounds. In the article Mel was working on that is not yet published, "This Old House," the example was used in the original draft as to what might happen if you were to build your home on top of one of these ceremonial grounds unknowingly. They were not Evil Spirits, but could get rather negative if their peace was disturbed. The Spirit itself is neither negative nor evil.

31. Let us repeat this again: There are no Evil Spirits! If someone tells you differently, it is they who are confused. Why? Spirits are reflections of your body which is formed and created by your soul (God). Nothing created by God is ever "evil." However that which is created by God can commit evil, therefore creating negative energy. Negative energy is not spirit but it has a life of its own and you (humankind) are its Creators…. Where the Spirit is created by the body, this does not mean that you created either the body… nor spirits.

32. We are dealing with more than semantics here. In this, your language is not lacking. It is fairly accurate. When you create Evil or Negative energy--that is not the same as Creating the Spirit. There are some things that takes a higher level of God than the Incarnated Soul--that individuated part of your Composite Soul--to create.

33. Now this should cover most of the questions distinguishing the soul and spirit, but there are always more questions created by inquisitive minds that we will welcome the chance to answer, for by answering your questions you grow in understanding. You can come to us or you can "go within" to find us and ask your own questions. You will receive your answer.

§ The Spirit is for experiencing. It has the ability to be projected into other times, other places, other worlds and other dimensions to experience and bring back what it learns. You can access this knowledge if you know how. Go there and see things through your spirit eyes, hear with their ears, feel with their feelings if you desire and know how. The only danger involved is if you don't know how to shield yourself from potential traumatic experiences.

§ The Soul is for living first and experiencing second. It becomes the depository of all your knowledge and experience.
