One Soul, Many Directions

"Could you elaborate on why judgment is even needed once one has full soul contact?

"I think many even around here, maybe especially around here, think that soul contact is some sort of universal panacea to cure all ills and look upon it as a magic bullet that once it is swallowed, I never have to worry about going astray again as the soul is never wrong.

"Quite honestly I think soul contact (not the soul but the idea of soul contact) may have become just another "beast" to quite a number of folks around here. Another set of commandments that I can just follow, rather than having to think/judge for myself.

"So, other than judgment as to whether or not soul contact itself is working why would one need thinking/judgment so much once one has full, dependable, reliable soul contact?"

Soul contact does not eliminate the need for judgment. Furthermore, soul contact is not the highest contact, but since soul contact opens the door to all other contact I try to keep things simple by concentrating on this important step that most seekers are working on.

Once any type of contact or revelation comes to us we are then left with the decision as to how to interpret what we have received and what we are going to do with it.

Furthermore, when revelation comes it often happens in a somewhat altered state and when the seeker focuses again in the physical world he will sometimes have a partial amnesia of all that came through.

When he fully sees a principle, however, he will usually bring it down into full waking consciousness. When the realization is reached in normal consciousness he will then retain the principle from that time on -- unless he retrogresses by consciously going against his soul.

Another point to consider is there are degrees of achievement with soul contact. Just because a seeker receives something through the soul in one area does not mean he will receive it in all areas. A person may be open to true receiving in one area, but be completely closed because of bias or preconceived notions in another. Only a third degree initiate or higher can maintain consistency and seek with complete openness in all areas of endeavor.

If two people see the same principle through the soul they will see eye to eye on the wholeness of the view but when translated into data through words each will communicate a little differently and then make different judgments and decisions as to the application of the principle.

On another note, my mother died Wednesday morning. Some of you met her at the last gathering. She lived a full life and was 95 and did not suffer much so we are thankful her passing was as peaceful as it was. It is always nice to know we will meet again and through the Oneness Principle still maintain a thread of communion.

I may be fairly busy with family the next few days so I may not have time to write much.
