This month, we will be working with the Arctic Ocean Love Portal, above Siberia in the Russian Federation (USSR). It is located at latitude 85oN and longtitude165oE, extending up into the Arctic Circle, above the East Siberian Sea and northwest of the New Siberian Islands.
The human connection here is the Soul Star Chakra, and what better way to start the new year than with a reconnection to our higher self and maybe some insight into accessing our joyous purpose in this life.
How is the Soul Star Chakra related?
As you are aware, this energy centre is also a transformational portal for the consciousness you term soul.
As the soul consciousness moves into the physical experience of life, it exists constantly in many levels and dimensions of consciousness. The soul star chakra can be seen as a gate through which the objective soul consciousness becomes personal and individuated as it shifts down into the physical bieng.
On the physical levels of existence, it experiences a sense of self. This sense of self is created through the transformational processes occuring within this energy centre.
At this point, in the channel of incarnation, the soul consciousness is able to experience aspects of self in the personal physical life while also being the greater consciousness of selfless existence – that which you may refer to as one-ness or the god-self.
What is our focus in connection with the Soul Star Chakra?
We feel a great urge from humanity for a quiet space within which to be at peace. People are caught up in cycles and habits and programs which they have set up to streamline their lives, but which can tend to carry them uncontrollably forward without conscious choice or will.
What begins as a blessing becomes a prison from which, eventually, the individual sends out unconscious prayers for escape. Humanity is craving escape to stillness, to meaning and purpose, and to room for intuitive spontenaiety.
This urge is a reflection of the lack of expression, in the physical life, of the soul self, although most do not recognise that this is their greatest need. The urge to stop, to slow down the wheels and quiet the constant noise, is an unconscious knowing that only in that state can they invite the soul self to be involved in the physical life.
That’s exactly how I feel at the moment! In fact, my commitment for this year is to slow down and spend more time going within.
Wow, even as I write that I can see how common is that phrase (or variations of it) and how often I’ve heard it said and seen it written. So, it’s just hit me that what you’re saying is so true. I have felt it as my own personal need and my own personal journey but, now that I think about it, I reckon’ that just about everyone I know, whether into the spiritual stuff or not, has expressed that desire to me, in some way, in the last year.
What is going on?
There is nothing out of the ordinary going on. It is the common experience.
The soul self explores physical existence but is limited by the material mind. After a time of living, even the material mind begins to recognise that drifting on the currents created by other souls is an unsatisfactory experience of life.
It begins to hear the whisperings and yearnings of its own soul self, which desires to direct the life experience into a state of being that enjoys, and finds joy, in the material experience of life through the heart, and not merely through the physical senses.
The soul self seeks communion with other souls, through the vehicle of the physical life. It seeks to experience being as an action, something which it can do through the physical vehicle.
While the material mind is caught up in the physical experience of physical life, and all the material illusions that can draw the attention away from the journey of the soul self, soul expression is limited.
That makes me think of the phrase ‘living a soulful life’… It suggests the notion of living a meaningful life and it also suggests living a life ‘full’ of ‘soul’… So, I guess it would be reasonable to say that living a life without soul – a life where that material mind makes all the decisions and the soul doesn’t get a word in edgewise – is equivalent to living a life that is meaningless… Then you could also say that meaning equals substance. So living a life without meaning is living a life without substance… don’t stop me now, I’m on a roll!… You could then say that something which lacks substance can’t satisfy – it can’t nourish a person or make them feel full… Just like with food and the physical body. I could keep eating sweets and candies, and I’d give my body the sugar that it craves for that instant energy hit, but this wouldn’t stop my body from feeling the emptiness of hunger. The hunger pains would just get stronger and stronger, and would only respond to a hearty bean & vege stew or a big piece of steak, after which I would finally feel that wonderful sense of satiety.
For anyone who’s lost me, I was getting to the idea that leaving soul out of the equation in life, is like eating only lollies, and never having a ‘square’ meal. Eventually the body will jack-up and say “I’m just not happy with this. We need to try something different. Give me something real, something substantial” or it would get very sick and die. Does that make sense to you guys?
You go a long way to make your point but it is accurate, in its own way. There is truly a sense of dissatisfaction in humanity’s yearning. Most do not recognise what they are lacking and so continue to seek it in the outer life. The outer life can only be a useful experience when the inner life drives it.
What do you mean by useful? Do you mean for the soul’s growth?
Yes. The soul self has chosen to journey and thus it must be driving the physical vehicle in order for the trek to bring the experiences it has intended. These experiences are nourishment for the growth of the soul self, and also for the growth of many other beings who do not experience the physical life. Much non-physical consciousness benefits from, and is nourished by, your soul’s physical journeys.
If somebody else takes the wheel, the journey is no longer guided by the soul self, but by that ‘somebody else’. It has become side-tracked. While there may still be many benefits gained on the journey, the soul self cannot be satisfied.
The material mind, also, cannot experience that joyous satisfaction – unless it operates in accordance with the direction of the soul self.
Okay, I get that. So what’s the healing here? How do we approach it?
Observe your own soul self’s relationship to your life. How is it expressed? What is your level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction?
Try to view any level of dissatisfaction as a step away from the life your soul self intended. If you carry this perspective, you will be more able to bypass the filters and excuses of physical dissatisfaction and victim energy.
What do you mean by filters and excuses? Do you mean reasons why we can’t connect with our soul?
No, we refer to the things you perceive as causing your unhappiness and dissatisfaction. For instance, you may have a challenging relationship with your husband or wife and, because you feel dissatisfied with your life, you feel that the two are connected. Thus you believe that if you divorce your husband or wife, you will find happiness.
If you bring the soul self into this example, we ask you to recognise that it is not the husband or wife who are making you unhappy, nor any other life circumstance in itself. It is the fact that your material mind is ruled by its own fears and has no clear relationship with the soul self.
If you were to evolve a relationship with your soul self, you would clearly see where you needed to make changes in your life in order to feel that sense of satisfaction you call happiness.
Your material mind may be guided to leave the relationship and move to another country. Or it may be guided to continue in the relationship and begin to change the way you communicate with your partner.
It is not the physical action in itself that will change your sense of joy in life. It is what drives that physical action, whether it is motivated by the pure spirit wave of love or whether it is driven by the illusion of fear.
In this example, also, it may be true to say that leaving the relationship and moving to another country, may give you a feeling of relief but, unless the move was guided by truth – the language of the soul self – the sense of peace will be short-lived, and you will find yourself running again before long.
Yes, okay, I can see that, totally. I know, from the learning and reading I’ve done, and through my own journey, that there is a great deal of fear associated with this ‘surrender’ to soul… I use that word because that’s what it feels like to my logical mind, which is so used to being in control of everything I do.
How do we begin to address this fear? How can we look at the soul relationship in a way that doesn’t scare us into avoidance?
There is no other way to address the fear than to face it and reveal its illusory nature.
You can talk to your material mind in many languages and use any argument or justification or plea, but you will waste your breath. Fear is an irrational energy and cannot be reasoned with. Fear cannot be bargained with.
You have a common saying that ‘the only thing to fear is fear itself’. There is so much truth in this and we are amused – and amazed – at how you all say it and yet you fail to fully grasp what you are saying.
You fear that which can harm you, and the only thing to fear is fear, and yet fear cannot harm you (except in driving you to make detrimental choices), so in actual fact nothing can harm you, and so there is nothing to fear. And there you have it!
Wow! You guys sounded like me that time. You almost did a few circles with the logic there! Although, that probably was me, in getting it down on paper.
Anyway, I get it. But, you know, ‘getting it’ doesn’t change the strength of influence that the fear has. Here on earth, all our illusions seem very, very real.
You simply need to find a spark of courage within yourself and do that which you fear to do. In this case, allowing your soul self to drive the physical vehicle. As soon as you begin to see the delicious fruits that are harvested along this road you have feared, and the complete absence of loss and harm, your fear will dissipate.
Yes okay, its not the first time I’ve been told that, and not the first time I’ve told myself that.
In some ways, your complete lack of practical guidance in relation to this fear issue helps me understand that its a question of being and not a question of doing. The fear cannot be got rid of by any action or affirmation or medicine or movement. It can only be got rid of by being fearless, by being courageous, by being trusting. And in a lot of ways, as complicated as it seems, that is a simple choice, isn’t it?
That is so. Choose what you will be, and then be it.
Well, lets get back to the practical aspects of the meditation. This connecting with soul, I feel, is an ongoing journey so I gather that, in this meditation, as in previous meditations, we’re looking at taking conscious steps in that direction, to make a start. Is that right?
Yes. Make a conscious connection with your soul self during this heaing session, and affirm your desire to maintain this relationship in as conscious a way as possible. Invite your soul self to direct your life and allow this to the degree that you are able. The challenge of fear will not arise within the meditation session itself, as much as it will when you take this conscious soul self relationship out into your daily physical life and try to allow the managerial change-over. Be with your innermost desires as much as you possibly can.
Also, allow your intentions to go towards all humanity finding ways to explore and experience this soul self connection as well. The greater the number of individuals who can move towards this state, the easier will be the ‘surrender’ for the remaining individuals, as the overall fear energy will diminish in power with every person who weakens it in their own life.
Try to experience the healing of the arctic portal in the context of the earth consciousness also making a deeper connection with its greater self, and allowing that greater self to be expressed in the planet’s earthly existence. In many ways, the allowing of this is interwoven with the life (including humans and animals) that exists on the earth. You all can call the earth consciousness into greater expression and support that process with your loving prayers. The more humanity can support the spiritual expansion of the earth, the more the earth can support the spiritual expansion of humanity.
That’s lovely, thanks for that.
