Growing A Soul.

A seedling emerges from the ground bathed in a golden light.

As I set out to write this article, I’m a little bit overwhelmed by the subject matter. As is often the case when I write, I’m going to learn so much as I channel information from my higher self and Source! Let’s start with this definition; a soul is an immortal being that exists beyond the physical realm and is comprised of pure Source energy and imagination with unlimited potential for growth. The soul enters into a body to have limiting experiences that cause it to expand in conscious awareness due to the singular perspective of an individual experiencing unique challenges and opportunities.

An illustration to depict soul growth and connection with the Higher Self.

You might be wondering why a soul comprised of pure Source energy needs to grow at all. Isn’t Source, by definition, the all encompassing origin of everything? Yes, this is correct. But in order to create unique individuals with different perspectives, Source has created many diverse existential growth experiences in the physical realm. Entering this world is through birth, which gives each soul an opportunity to experience childhood and be gifted with various personality traits and perspectives. Without this growth from experience, Source would be creating clones of itself and not unique individuals. Like a Father and Mother lovingly watching the growth of their children into unique individuals by all they experience, Source is co-experiencing all that we encounter as we grow and loves the diversity and variety of all expressions of itself. Source is very prolific and very creative!

Think of a soul like a tiny oak tree seed, containing all the potential components to grow into a towering and spectacular life form when the environment is conducive to growth. This is where physicality comes into play. The soul may start its physical journey by inhabiting a very dense and limiting form such as a crystal or mineral. The purpose of this incarnation may simply be to experience the most basic form of existence. In subsequent physical manifestations of a higher order, it may well experience moral choices that cause soul growth which may lead to sentience and expanded consciousness and eventually a reuniting with all that is.

A meme that reads: "Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground."

Dogs are a great example of this. Since early times, humans have been guiding the soul evolution of dogs by inviting them into our families and encouraging them to adopt the best of human qualities such as gratitude, bravery, loyalty, affection, protection, compassion, love, etc. Like humans, dogs have the choice to be naughty, selfish and live by their base instincts. However, we endeavor to teach them to behave with nobility that oftentimes surpasses our own soul growth. Just the fact they give us unconditional love regardless of our many flaws should make us aware of a soul that is experiencing expansion of consciousness and Source connection.

Earlier we mentioned moral choices as being a potential source of growth and expansion of the soul. Because our brain thinks in terms of dualistic concepts, it’s easy for us to assume that we learn the most from choosing the best, most progressive path. Sometimes, this is undoubtedly true. However, looking back on my own life, I can easily see that some of the most painful, regressive experiences led to the most growth in my awareness of the benefits of Source Connection and my compassion for my fellow soul adventurers. Therefore it’s clear that both our triumphs and our tribulations cause our soul to grow when we are open to learning from all we experience. In some cases, this soul growth can lead us to soul abilities that enhance and empower our interactions with the world around us.

A meme which reads: "Since twins exist in the physical, they must exist in the spiritual: and if twins, why not multiple souls derived from the same Over-soul and given different points of attention/reference? Inevitably we must consider that the Over-souls are also expressions of one vast Soul which we call Divine Source."

Here are some things I wonder about. Is it possible a soul can expand to such dimensions it can no longer be contained by one human body? Is it possible “soul mates” originated as one soul that divided into two individual bodies for the purpose of experiencing a highly compatible love relationship? (This gives new meaning to the concept of loving yourself). Are other souls so large they have divided into multiple individuals who all incarnate into the physical realm to accomplish different tasks that fulfill a complimentary agenda? Have you ever wondered if someone else is also you because of how close an affinity you feel for them? (Of course from the highest perspective we all incarnate from the same point of origin so all our souls are fractals of the great Source Soul).

If a soul can expand, can it also contract? Observation of the human condition tells me the answer is yes. When an individual chooses to have an incarnation disconnected from Source empowerment, he or she will experience diminishing of the soul (at least for a time) that will lead to narcissistic and self-serving behavior which is very alienating to those around the soul-shrinker. When someone chooses to experience a life without Source connection, their ability to be compassionate and empathetic will also diminish until they are virtually soul-less and very much without true intimate human connection.

Does this mean there are those in body who have completely lost their soul (connection to Source)? In my opinion, yes, but only temporarily. They have chosen a very lonely and egocentric journey that will be filled with much heartache, emptiness and despair. However, they will, through these experiences (and possibly over several lifetimes) eventually come to appreciate and recognize the joy of being connected and reunited with the Prime Progenitor. Never underestimate the wisdom and compassion of our Infinite Mother/Father for all souls that spring from the consciousness of Source!

Like a patient parent who feels everything their child is going through, yet loves without conditions, Source is within each person working to guide them home.

A meme that reads: "No soul stays lost forever...all roads, however long and winding, lead back home to Source."
