Where does the soul reside?
 

EQ:  When?

Before and after.

And during.

Let’s start with while the soul is not currently incarnated, and then, later, we’ll ask when it is.

EQ:  The soul resides within God which resides everywhere.

That would be within the Source, correct?

EQ:  Exactly.

Ok, so the soul is always connected to the Source.

EQ:  Always.  There is never a break from the Source, it is only the ego that perceives a break from the Source.  So the soul resides with the Source at all times.

Even during incarnation?

EQ:  Absolutely.

The next part of that question is, how are the ego and soul entwined?

EQ:  The ego is the actor acting the role.

And the soul would be…

EQ:  The soul would be the play.

So the ego is acting out a part of the play?

A portion of the soul goes on and ...

EQ:  Absolutely.  And they are all happening at once.  So thee are in many different roles amongst a wondrous play.

So those things we see in our dreams which are…

EQ:  …other realities that thy soul is acting.

In other lives?  They say there can be simultaneous lives.

EQ:  Absolutely.  Thee call them "lives".  We do not call them "lives".  It is easy for thee to see them as lives because thee think linear.  We do not see this as lives.  We see this as lights upon water, many sparkling lights upon water.  If thee look at water, it goes on and on and on, does it not?  And it changes too.  It becomes rain and it becomes dew and it becomes oceans and lakes.  This is the Source.

Are dreams your intuition?

EQ:  Sometimes.  Sometime dreams are thy soul talking to thee.  Sometimes it is thy guides talking with thee.  Sometimes it is thy loved ones who have passed talking with thee.  And sometimes it is just the connection with the Source accepting that thee understand all that is anyway.

What about scary dreams?

EQ:  They can be warnings, can they not?  And sometimes they are just thy ego attempting to sort a problem.

So, because - and you explained this last month - we as humans have placed a physicalness about things, so in our dreams - I see them as people in the dreams, that’s because that is how I relate to it, right?

EQ:  Absolutely.  The wondrous thing that happens to thee when thee become physical is thee create the concept of a brain instead of a mind, dost thou understand the difference?  The brain is an organ that runs on chemicals and electrical impulses, dost thou understand this thing?  The mind is that which is linked to the Source that has concepts, that links to all other things and has knowing, dost thou understand?  Thee think thee are a brain.

Do animals have minds?

EQ:  We are speaking of humans, but yes, other animals have minds.

Instead of brains?

In addition to.

EQ:  Oh, some animals have minds and don’t even recognize they have a brain, it is unnecessary.

Because they are going along with what the Source is of themselves?

EQ:  They are knowing the Source at all times.  They do not forget the Source as thee do when thee become ego and physical.

They don’t deal with ego?

EQ:  Some animals deal with ego.  Most animals…this is the way we shall place this:  as an animal becomes more domesticated, it creates an ego.  Thee give it one, do thee not?  Thee even dress them up!  Thee put make-up on them!  Thee paint their little toenails!  How can they not have and ego after that?

You mentioned mind.  Would the mind be part of the soul?

EQ:  Yes, absolutely.

And the ego is part of the mind?

EQ:  The ego is part of the mind.  It is as though, like we said, the mind is creating the play and the ego acts it out.

I thought the soul is creating the play.

EQ:  …which is part of the mind.  The mind is the linkage with all that is.

So, are the soul and the mind synonymous?

EQ:  Close, yes.

How does that fit with the "spiritual brain"?

EQ:  What is a "spiritual brain"?

You had discussed, many moon cycles ago, that we were evolving a spiritual brain.

EQ:  Evolving…yes, yes.  What we meant by that was, coming into consciousness, which we speak of so frequently.  This is what we mean: when thee begin to live in a conscious reality instead of the illusion that thee want to perpetrate, then thee will have developed a spiritual brain for thee then will go to mind, dost thou understand?

Is that what Jesus did?

EQ:  That is what many masters have done, partially, yes.  Because to develop a completely spiritual mind, or to become the mind, means that thee no longer accept being limited by thy body.

So then things like levitation come into play?

EQ:  What can thee perceive of if thee have no restrictions?

Anything!

EQ:  Absolutely!  The belief that the body produces a restriction, produces the restriction.  In the conscious world - we have discussed this before - what are thee made of?  Space and energy.  And can energy be made into different forms and can space, then, be recreated differently?

Yes.

EQ:  Why are thee not doing this?

I try it all the time!

EQ:  But the mind of the planet, or the brain of the planet, currently, the majority of the entities of on this planet believe in limits.  We have stated this many times before, abundance with limits, love with limits, happiness with limits.  Right?  How in the world can thee make thy body live outside of limits if thee cannot perceive that they are in existence.  Thee create fences around thy homes.  Thee create rings upon thy fingers that say, "You be owned," is this not so?  And this thee think is safe!  Thee keep creating limits looking for thy safety.  We think this is wondrous.

You do?  Why?

EQ:  Because thee learn so many wondrous things this way!

From making mistakes?

EQ:  We have said often before that thee live in what thee call the Garden of Eden, but thee forgot, and thee keep walking away from it when it is here!  All thee have to do is open thy eyes.  Thee have everything thee could need, right now, right here.  And thee choose not to see it.

I have a question on that.  Not everybody has the same perception of limits…

EQ:  Thee live in a wondrous community called the planet Earth.  And so thee are bounded by other people’s beliefs for now.

I know children have fewer limits like that.  It’s like a big cycle, as soon as they grow up and they start beginning perceiving the adult world and their limits, they begin to accept them…

EQ:  It is even before that.

I think we start to limit them by our concepts, don’t we?

EQ:  Absolutely!  By thy fear - this is a planet filled with fear - by thy fear, thee impregnate thy child with thy fears.  And once those fears are accepted, then all the rest is just absorbed.

So what’s a better option, realistically?  I don’t want to do that to my child.  What do I do instead?  What’s a real road to that?

EQ:  Be very honest with each entity and tell them that thee live in a world where beings believe this thing, and because thee have been so well acquainted with this world, thee will act these things out at times, but that the real universe is a loving, gentle, wonderful, giving, peaceful, vibrant place and there be a choice to see that or accept the fear.  But as long as thy community and everything about it is fear based, as soon as this child makes friends, as soon as this child goes to thy education system, it is all implanted.  All thee can do is open its eyes from the beginning saying, "This is choice, my love.  This is choice."

Aren’t some choices to prevent things for safety purposes?

EQ:  We understand that thee believe this thing, but because we know that, that fear creates exactly what thee are afraid of, we would say to thee it be a better place thee would live in if all beings decided that thy planet was wondrous.  If enough entities begin to have this true belief, not think it, but know it, then guess what, it will be.

I feel that I try to project that.

EQ:  There are not enough yet.  But there are place on this planet, are there not, that beings live wondrously?

Oh, yes.

EQ:  Why can they and thee cannot within the United States of America?  Because thee are constantly being bombarded with fear!  This person’s out to get thee!  This country’s got something thee don’t!  You need this new car!  You need to watch this health problem!  Thee need this!  Thee need that!  And what do thee do?  Do thee question it?

No.

EQ:  Thee accept it.  And once accepted, then thee manifest cancers and thee manifest flues, and thee manifest children that are unwanted and murdered and predatory people who want to hurt others.  There are many places on this planet where people do not shoot people.  There are places on this planet where neighbors help one another without question or wondering what they will get in return.  There are places on this planet where entities live with much less than each and every one of thee, but live in multitudes of more joy.

So are these habitats we need to find?

EQ:  No.  Thee need to create this, here, in thy habitat.

How do you do that when your neighbors don’t?

EQ:  Thee start with thyself and thee become involved with others that are working on this same mission.

So with this manifestation, can our dreams also manifest these fears to become reality?

EQ:  No.  What thy dreams will be doing is telling thee where issues are of fear so that thee have a choice, as an ego, to work this fear through and release it.

I took "A Course in Miracles" for years and they talk about the ego.  For the longest time I thought you had to try to squash the ego, but…

EQ:  Thee can’t!

…I know.  So you just have to blend it in - right? - so that you can work with it so it doesn’t take over?

EQ:  Thee learn that thy ego is just a role thee are playing in this lifetime.  Do not give it such a maximum credit.  Do not think in terms the of "always" and "never", for this ego is just this little piece acting out this role.  Act the role, wondrously!  Pretend thee are working on an Academy Award!  Be the best ego thee can be!  Lovingly!  Shine!

You’ve told us before that the ego, its purpose is to experience so that knowledge can be brought back to the Source.  Can you tell us how this knowledge get back to the Source?

EQ:  If the soul is forever connected to the Source and the ego is just a piece acting out the soul’s direction, is there a disconnect from the soul ever?

No.

EQ:  Is there a disconnect from the Source ever?

No.

EQ:  How does it get the information?  It’s getting it!

It’s automatic.

EQ:  Automatic.  It’s a conduit. It’s like a filament, it all keeps flowing back and forth, back and forth.  The problem is, the ego doesn’t feel the forth, it just feels the back, dost thou understand?  If thee are plugged in, it can’t just go one way, it goes both.  But the ego forgets and is afraid to feel it.  And the ego begins to look for it everywhere else.

How can we better find it then?

EQ:  Go within!  Have we not said that before?  Go within.  It’s there!  Know it!  Accept it!  Do not feel disconnected, accept that thee are plugged in and allow that joy to fill thee.
