Soul consciousness is the next step in spiritual awareness.
When you first enter the soul realms, they seem almost silent compared to the regular levels of spiritual consciousness. When I first experienced full awareness at the soul level, it seemed as though I was in a world filled with a light, silvery mist.
Gradually in this realm, as your mental senses acclimatize to the new level of consciousness, the mist clears away, revealing a wonderful world of rainbow colors, subtle fragrance and gentle sound. You find yourself in an ocean of harmony, in the home of the beautiful and mystical “music of the spheres.”
This is the fifth-density level of consciousness, which resides above the fourth-density spirit or astral world, and above our third-density physical realm. It is here that the soul aspect of your consciousness resides. In this heaven-world of light, sound and higher mental energies, your soul works ceaselessly in support of your physical incarnation.
When we tune into such a subtle level of consciousness, we find that there is much more to achieving personal happiness than anything related to external events. Real joy comes from within, from an unending source which is divine in origin. The creative will of the Divine Father aspect of God merged in perfect union with the everlasting love of the Divine Mother aspect of God together fill the universe with total, unadulterated, blissful joy!
The greatest discovery of a person who regularly practices meditation is that, one day, the door will quietly open to this unending supply of blissful joy. On that day, the spiritual seeker knows, beyond all shadow of any doubt, that God lies silently within all things and all consciousness. We are a part of that Divine Oneness, and it is through the joy of soul consciousness that we realize this connection.
The soul level of awareness is your complete, inner consciousness. Your daily, physical awareness, on the other hand, is focused on the outside world for a purpose. The true purpose of this outer perspective is so that we can find our way back to that from which we came, even though we are spiritually “blindfolded,” so to speak, in daily living. The game of life on Earth is played so that we can experience the rediscovery of that joyous connection to the oneness from which we originally came.
All the happiness in the world pales in comparison with the supreme joy of that inner connection. Soul-inspired joy is lasting happiness. It has no beginning and no end because it is always there, just as God is always there, within each and every one of us.
Author’s Note: In our third-density physical world, it may seem strange to realize that another part of our awareness exists in such a heaven-world—and yet it does. You can reach into this beautiful space at any time with the practical and inspiring information contained in the book, Higher Consciousness: Finding Peace and Joy Above the Noise.
