There are many perspectives on what is soul; it\u2019s like the blind man and the elephant, each has an insight into a larger totality that\u2019s beyond the view
\n of all.<\/p>\n

I think we get closer to the truth when we are able to suspend judgment about these different perspectives in our exploration of the nature of soul. <\/p>\n

Bill said -: back by popular demand - haha.<\/em> Before we get into it he says that words cannot express how important the American election has become
\n for the whole world…and it is by no means simply about Trump vs. Biden or Republican vs. Democrat. It is about freedom vs. the Great Reset.
\n This is a fight for the soul of America. These are surely interesting times! Fasten your seat belt!<\/p>\n

Tim - good to know there are soul fans out there - folks who understand empathy and compassion - so what can we say?<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

All living beings have souls; some have \u201cgroup souls\u201d, they only function in a group context: a herd, a hive, a flock; do sheep have choices about shearing,
\n being dipped, going to the works? Are those moral choices?<\/p>\n

Is everything that involves a moral choice a Soul issue for Humans? <\/h3>\n

Bill says he thinks do. Sea Shepherd is a soul issue. WHY? The oceans are dying. The whales, from Orcas and Belugas to Blues, are disappearing. We fought
\n whalers for them.<\/p>\n

5G is a soul issue. Why? The biosphere (and us) are dying from different forms of radiation.<\/p>\n

Electrohypersensitivity is becoming more common. Immune systems are weakening. <\/p>\n

We are witnessing a sustained, coordinated attack on—us<\/p>\n

It has been subtle and covert for decades, but not any more… <\/p>\n

And what do we see? Humans are starting to fight back. Getting arrested, sometimes fined, sometimes beaten up, for unlawful (?) assembly. For not wearing
\n masks.<\/p>\n

As individuated, self-reflective humans, we are a species with individual souls. Soul is the immortal expression of Humans; from a metaphysical (religious,
\n philosophical) perspective we belong to the \u201cAngelic Soul Group\u201d. Angelic describes our soul PATH, which is Service to Others. If we listen to our
\n inner voices, to our Higher Self, our guides, we stay on the path. It\u2019s the mind that gets us into trouble! <\/p>\n

What\u2019s wrong with mind?<\/h3>\n

Because the mind offers an illusion of control. There's nothing more joyful, more painful, more useless, and more powerful than the mind. The brilliance
\n of your mind will not save you, it will only make you terribly certain. It took Bill many years to really understand what Gurdjieff meant when he said,
\n \u201cTo be clever is to be stupid.\u201d Being clever, wily, tricky is the realm of the mind. https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/George_Gurdjieff<\/a> <\/p>\n

You can turn left by following your intuition and your mind may be giving you a million reasons why it is better to turn right… and they might all
\n make sense. But the more you follow your instinct, your gut hunch, which is your inner authority, the more you will be making decisions that are correct
\n for you. It\u2019s important to not let the mind upset you or call the shots about what direction to take in life.<\/p>\n

You mentioned guides and higher self. Do you recall your first contact?<\/h3>\n

The year before he started kindy. He saw his two guides, he knew their names, names he had never heard before, and he could see and describe them. One afternoon he opened the front door and let them in, sat them down at a little table in the living room, served them tea and had a conversation with them. His mother and a friend were sitting on the couch and witnessed this. Years later his mother told him that they thought he had a great imagination. He told her that his guests were every bit as real to him as she and her guest were. Contact with his guides tapered off when he went to school the following year, but he never doubted that they were with him, and still are.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Saying that 3D Earth is a school: it is a world of opposites, of polarities. Light\/Dark, male\/female, day\/night, inner\/outer, harmony\/friction, peace\/war;
\n peace is a friction-free environment. Yin\/Yang, push something long enough and hard enough, it turns into its opposite. It\u2019s called the doctrine of
\n reversion. <\/p>\n

We contain the potential for both, and every choice, however small, is a test. It moves us in one direction or another. <\/p>\n

St Paul how often we know the right, yet do the wrong?<\/p>\n

That comes from listening to mind, using mind to make choices. Better to \u201cgo inside\u201d. <\/p>\n

How do we \u201cgo inside\u201d when we are faced with important choices?<\/h3>\n
