Gratitude is the key!

Ruth Ryden, there are so many souls passing back into the spiritual realm now, would you please explain to us the meaning of that word we use to explain our real existence?  How does it originate, what is its purpose in the universe?  In other words, WHAT IS A SOUL?

A Soul is the most important creation of all.  A  Soul is a specific conscious, intelligent, spiritual energy.  This piece of eternal creative energy is the reason for the birth of universes and inhabited planets.  All things in matter were (and are being) created in order to formulate a material stage upon which for each Soul to dwell for a time.  You see and understand that there are probably very few planets that you can see that are inhabited, but there are myriads of them in the many galaxies you can see and many that you cannot see at this time.  Souls are created from the Central Mind or Energy that created all things.  That is why you say you are a “Child of God”.  Actually, that is true from your field of thought. 

The bits of energy that compose a Soul begin as just that – very tiny, bits of energy that constantly reach out for the “food” of knowledge and experience.  As they shoot into the vortexes and galaxies of the many universes, they learn everything they can and, when a planet has evolved to the point of supporting material life, they are drawn to the creatures that are procreating their species and find the opening where they can activate the body and mind of the seedling.  

Does that mean all animals have Souls?  To a very limited extent in most cases, yes.  This is a very new Soul that has to experience all material energy from its very beginning.  As the Soul makes its transition to higher forms of life, it grows in knowledge and experience and seeks to learn more.  By the time the new Soul reaches “maturity”, so to speak, it is ready to seek out – in your case – a human being.  There are other bi-peds inhabiting your solar system, of course, and they are also of a higher mentality. 

The object here for the Soul is to become a central part of the human being, in all ways, that it might experience, and learn as much as possible during the lifetime of that being.  Human beings, and all similar life forms, were created expressly for the Soul to inhabit.  Souls are the life force of the body – the innate focus of who the person is, can be, and will be.  Every emotion, every action is important to the Soul.  Obviously, this time of “living” must be repeated even millions of times in different places, different bodies, in order to become a fully enlightened Soul who will eventually rise to become part of the Supreme Energy of All Things.  This is the goal.

THANKS – GIVING!

There is a powerful vibration that connects one person to another, one thought to another, when there is the acceptance of help, no matter how insignificant, the kind offering of love in any form.  The vibration is set up when there is thankfulness of such action or thought and it is expressed verbally or other ways that are apparent to the receiver.  Here, again, is the duality of our natures.  Giving and receiving is part of the inner peace that is achieved when both actions are recognized.   Giving thanks constantly to those unseen helpers connects their need to do things for us – just a quick Thank You!  is all it takes to form a beautiful link to the Universal Mind. 

The same thing applies to our fellow human beings.  A sincere Thank You to family members is especially important, as well as to those who serve us in many ways each day. What a gift to give to the stressed clerk at the checkout counter, or the men who repair the street in your neighborhood, etc., etc.  That vibrational link of giving/receiving is one very important connection in this world.  Being thanked makes you feel good, and thanking others brings a sense of satisfaction to our own inner being.  (Love and Blessings to you all, Ruth Ryden)
