Fact 1: Your soul’s consciousness constantly expands.
It comprises every sensation and state of consciousness it experienced on its evolutionary journey; and when you were born it had already acquired chemical consciousness, vegetative consciousness, simple consciousness and rational consciousness. It had evolved the type of intelligence needed to guide cell life and the processes and functions of your physical body.
Your birth saw it acquire objective consciousness. Your soul had fulfilled its life purpose. Through tremendous struggle and mighty effort, it evolved self-consciousness. But this does not signal the end of its consciousness development. It does make you morally responsible, but your life here as a human soul is a brief sojourn on an eternal journey and when it ends your soul’s consciousness will continue to expand in astral and spiritual realms. Eternal progression is the anthem of the universe.
Fact 2: Your intelligence develops through experience.
You’re predisposed to learn a special type of information and what you learn is permanently saved in the thought-cell groups and thought structures that comprise your soul’s consciousness.
Your ability to behave in a certain way or do something special is determined by accumulated experience. So, the real source of your natural aptitudes is your soul’s thought-cell activity.
Ability is what you do with your intelligence. Maybe you fix cars, manage a small business, design furniture, grow vegetables or write songs. Maybe you have athletic ability, artistic skills or financial acumen.
Whatever, when you engage your special type of intelligence and ability in the special work that defines your reason for being you’ll feel the greatest joy, happiness and satisfaction.
Fact 3: You’re the thinker who most often acts on your feelings.
Your conduct is motivated by personal necessity as you act to satisfy physical, psychological and economic needs. Your mind is primarily occupied with thoughts concerning your everyday activities. Your daily life is a habitual routine where designated activities occur at designated times. It doesn’t require much thought.
You constantly engage in cerebral thinking that commonly expresses as intellectual effort, objective thinking, problem solving, worry and ordinary fantasy thinking. And it’s only when something untoward occurs that you – the clever problem solver – report for duty.
You have to make sound judgments, keep your mind and body in good working order and monitor your mental wellbeing.
The thought-cells which comprise your soul or character are derived from the events you experience, and the thinking you do about them, and you have to determine what is added to your character in terms of thoughts and feelings.
So, you can be likened to a security guard who determines what thoughts will enter your mental domain. Destructive unworthy thoughts should be excluded so this particular duty requires high-level alertness and vigilance. But you’ll only become alert to your duties when you realize that you’re building your life thought by thought.
Fact 4: Your behavior is a legacy of your formative years.
It was formed and shaped by family, social and cultural forces. All the information you gathered while growing up is permanently imprinted on your soul and saved in memory.
During your childhood years your thinking skills were undeveloped so your impressionable not-conscious soul-mind believed and uncritically accepted suggestions and beliefs that found fertile ground in its consciousness.
Your conditioning by experience as a child – your social engineering – saw you acquire likes and dislikes and the dominant feeling patterns you developed back then are with you today influencing your conduct.
If you were born after 1970 you probably watched over 3,000 hours of television by the time you were four. Now there’s the internet, social media and algorithms influencing what you think, feel and do.
Fact 5: You’re your soul’s superior intelligence.
You should exercise authority over the misguided intelligence often displayed by your thought-cells, senses, sensations, feelings and desires.
Having self-consciousness you can reflect on your own reasoning. You can think about your mind and how it works: how it digests and comprehends information.
Your mind generates thoughts and ideas that you can think about and examine. You have your own way of resolving problems, performing tasks and discussing this, that or the other.
Your social environment provides you with an audience and you relate, discuss and argue with friends and family. But when it comes to your life you must do your own thinking. You’re responsible for what you think, say and do.
Fact 6: You can think and reason but also rely on instinct.
It’s a type of intelligence that your soul developed on its evolutionary journey and when you instinctively do or believe something your actions are based on instinct.
Instinct is the expression of an intelligent adaption of a means to an end. It’s the result of experiences which are added to the thought-cells of your astral body.
It isn’t perfect and just like faulty reasoning it can lead you astray so its reliability needs to be tested. But instincts implanted by nature can be a better index to reality than reasoning based on limited knowledge.
Instinct can be a reliable guide to action but it does have limitations.
Your soul has spent a lot of time acting on instinct and under unusual conditions it is a more efficient guide to action than reason. But your education, and its emphasis on developing your reasoning skills, has probably seen your instincts atrophy.
But properly cultivated they are a better guide to action than reason. And when instinct is reinforced by reason the not-conscious mental process is a surer guide to action than the ponderous process of reasoning carried out by you. It steams into you on the wings of electromagnetic energy as intuition.
Fact 7: You’re propelled by unfulfilled desire.
Your soul is a reservoir of unfulfilled desires that are in a state of tension. Your objective thinking is given its trend by desires within your soul.
Your desire to go to work, make money, buy a car, take a trip, go dancing, make a phone call, let off steam, have sex or watch a movie permanently exists in your not-conscious soul-mind. And when a strong desire streams into your objective consciousness it can grab your attention and have you taking action.
You feel desire as an impetus to do or have something. All your actions seek to satisfy unfulfilled desires. Desire sets the wheels in motion. A powerful desire is rarely satisfied. It constantly seeks, but fails to attain, the satisfaction you crave. That’s why you keep doing what your strongest desires dictate.
Fact 8: Sleeping is something you do at your soul’s command.
Sleep is a rest period for your brain. It occurs when your brain shuts down and ceases to fire electrical impulses.
The cells of the grey matter of your brain are electric batteries that fire electrical impulses and while you’re awake your brain is fired up. Your thinking consumes electric energy so your brain is generating moderately strong electrical currents over quite a long period of time and in order to recharge it needs to rest.
During sleep the thought energies of your soul are largely disconnected from the cells of your brain. And with no sensory stimulation to occupy your attention your brain’s neuronal activity ceases. The information transfer connection is temporarily disconnected.
During sleep your ‘little grey cells’ recharge. Your brain shuts down and you take a break, but your soul doesn’t. It remains active in the astral world gathering information, moving from experience to experience, from sensation to sensation.
You have a sleep habit. Whether your sleep is restful and refreshing depends on your mental disposition and what’s on your mind. And to think and reason well your brain cells need to be fully charged. This requires sleep and recreation.
Fact 9: You’re not always a clever helmsman.
You’re steering your way through a constantly changing environment that presents problems. You’re dealing with family, work and financial pressures. You’re taking risks, navigating dangers and making misguided decisions.
Your survival requires adequate adaptation to changing circumstance so you adjust the tiller and trim the sails. You seek shelter from destructive storms and when you’re becalmed you wait for beneficial breezes to blow.
You’re in the game and you’ve got a big gig to perform. You have to make sense of who you are, fit yourself in, make wise decisions, solve problems and develop your intelligence and ability. You bet your life on everything you know, make mistakes and live and learn.
Fact 10: You need to know more.
You’ve learnt a lot through your formal and life-educations. You know about your thought and feeling world. And you know about your local environment – the people, life-matters and activities – that influences what you think, say and do.
But you need to know more about your soul and its destiny.
You have a birth chart. It provides you with a blueprint for living and allows you to learn about your dynamic astrological environment that, in much the same way as your local conditions, stimulates action.
Your astral environment exerts a stimulating influence on your not-conscious thoughts causing them to attract events and conditions that reflect how they feel. It’s through these educational experiences that you develop intelligence and ability.
You live your life in accordance with nature’s laws and need to know that your special type of intelligence and ability is not only a survival resource it’s your gift to the world and the universe. It’s your contribution to how the place runs.
