Life's Greatest Adventure! December 23rd 2015 Hi Friend, Last week we started to explore the perspective that we are essentially beings of light.  If this is the case (and it is) and we are all 'one' in light, then what do we mean by personality? and what do we mean by Soul? Let's explore further... What is Soul? Our Soul can be thought of as our individualized expression of Divinity. If the whole of existence (seen and unseen; physical and non-physical) were an ocean, then we may consider our Soul to be like a glass of water taken from that ocean. It is still part of the ocean, it still has all the qualities of the ocean, it will eventually return to the ocean, yet for a short time it is having an individualized experience. “The Soul is our individual link to the essential substance of the Creative Source... Astrology is a system that seeks to interpret the nature of the Universal Life Force as It moves, shapes, and creates human life and all events. The planets, signs, and houses, are not the causal elements of manifestation. They are, rather, the reflections of a transcendental synchronicity manifesting through the rhythms and timing of a cosmic clock.” - Alan Oken, Soul Centered Astrology What is personality? Our personality, somewhat ironically, is a little more difficult to explain and understand because so much human behavior seems to be so far removed from the light! On one level (keeping it simple) we can understand personality as everything we have ever learned: all of our behavior from this and past lives, that now exists as ‘seeds’ in our consciousness. Some are actively expressed while others lie ‘dormant’ awaiting for the right conditions in order to ripen. For a deeper understanding we can think of our personality and Soul as being on a spectrum of frequency or vibration. In essence there is no separation between personality and Soul, we only experience a sense of separation when our attention is focused solely on personality. Many contemporary spiritual teachers describe our spiritual journey in terms of a journey ‘from fear to love’. This can be thought of as a spectrum of vibration, like the musical scale, that ranges from ‘lower vibration’ emotions such as guilt, shame, and fear to 'higher vibration' emotional states such as love, joy and peace. David Hawkins describes this as a spectrum of consciousness and there is a very helpful diagram of this in his book “Power vs. Force”. In Esoteric Astrology the Tibetan Master DK explains that there are fundamentally 6 zodiac signs and that we experience them as 12 signs due to our dualistic mind. Interestingly this is similar to a concept known as the Six Lokas in some Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Next week in our final part we will explore this concept of the Six Lokas in more depth to see what they might be able to tell us about this concept of a spectrum of consciousness, and how it relates to our personality and Soul. That's all for now! See you next week and in the meantime...  happy exploring! Best Wishes, Ruth  Soul Astrology Consultations with Ruth To support you on your journey...
