Welcome to my blog. Here you will find whatever is bringing me joy right now.
Please join me in this spiritual agreement, from my mentor and friend, Jana Massey:
"Together we agree that everything that we think, that we say and that we do at this time will be of the highest good. And together we ask for truth, the understanding of that truth and the wisdom to use it in our lives."
Thank you.
The idea of a soul family is tied in with the concept of reincarnation, where we have opportunities to grow our souls, over the course of many lifetimes, instead of during just one. Our soul family relationships are also associated with our purpose here. A group of individuals may incarnate together to work on a specific theme. This could be something like healing domestic violence. Then at a later time in this lifetime, or during another incarnation, that same group of people may find themselves working on a different theme, perhaps something like the idea of caring for and supporting community members.
A soul family can be large or it can be small. And we can each be members of many soul family groups simultaneously. Pairs of individuals might come in together to explore issues of child rearing with various themes like fidelity or abandonment, often reversing the roles in different lifetimes, in order to see the situation from the other angle. And one or more of their shared experiences might include what it is like to be together, having children, in a lifetime which is relatively free from problems associated with that theme. One member of that same soul couple may also have soul family work to do in a completely different group. They might be involved with other individuals in working on something like cultural arts preservation.
There are many ways that we can recognize a soul family group member, but one way is through shared significant dates. In my own family of origin, we have many examples of shared significant dates; often these are birth and death dates.
My father's sister shares the same birthday as my mother. My mother's sister shares the same birthday as my father. My husband's brother's wife also shares the same birthday as my father. My aunt's daughter, my cousin, was born on the same day as my brother. And her daughter was born on the same day as my other brother. These shared significant dates let us know that we have all danced before and are likely to come in to share life's ups and downs in some future lifetime together.
Not only do many of the members of my family share the same birthdays, but we also tend to depart on those same days as well. And we have three or four consecutive days in the month of February, where people tend to die. Sometimes it is hard to know whether we should be celebrating or mourning. My father died on my niece's birthday. My mother died on my best friend's birthday. And another best friend just died on my favorite aunt's death day. And all three of those days are right in a row.
These death and birth days seem to me to be like a portal, an easy entrance or exit point for souls wishing to share the various experiences my family and friends tend to engage in. But, shared significant dates are not the only way that we can recognize our soul family members. We can also know our soul family members through feelings of deep connection, or the desire to spend more time with each other. Then there is also the greater view of what we might be trying to accomplish in our lives together. Purpose oriented soul groups like these can carry their own unique flavors and responsibilities.
For example, I am an American, born in the middle of the last century. My compatriots and I hold certain tasks on the world scene. In the last century, we undertook the moon walk. With that event, we turned and saw our mother, the earth, for the first time. This began a complete change of our collective global human focus, helping us to see and realize the vulnerability of our planet's life. Because of this, we are now beginning to look at changing the nature of our resource use. One case in point is how with only five percent of the world's population, we Americans create half of the world's solid waste.
Current generations have also begun to rein in the patriarchy, gaining equal rights and promoting women's involvement in world leadership. In addition, we Americans have long held the quest for freedom. We continue to work on this one and are also beginning to see our shadow side here, with our involvement in foreign policies that affect the freedoms of people in other countries. These are just a few of the topics that are under consideration in the shared group curriculum of our American soul family.
Each of our soul groups, both large and small, work on expanding our human potential, our evolutionary growth and our collective understanding and awareness. I find that it can sometimes be enlightening to ask, 'Who might my soul family members be?' 'What are we here to do?' 'What might the flip side of this coin be like?' 'How can I see this from the other's perspective?' 'What can I do to help bring greater ease to their point of view?' Questions like these help to increase our compassion for and understanding of others. They might also make our next incarnation on the other side of the issue a little more gentle for all of us.
My wish for you is that you may travel through the many mysteries of life with grace. And bless us all as we work on the various tasks involved in maturing our souls.
As difficult as death is, there can be beauty int the experience as well. Close brushes with death teach us to live our lives more fully. And the time we spend transitioning in and out of spirit is like coming home again. Join Josephine as she brings this topic to life for half and hour.
If we look at the atom, peering into the most minute elements of matter, we find that matter hardly exists at all. In fact, at the quantum level, the level of electrons, protons and neutrons we find that the atom is comprised mostly of clear empty space. There is as much space, in the very cells of our bodies as there is in the universe of stars overhead. We and everything around us that we consider to be our world is made up of 99.9999999999999% clear empty space. Isn't that amazing? Modern physics has built some of the largest machines in the world in order to study these smallest particles of matter. These machines are known as particle separators. In a gross oversimplification, they use magnets to zoom an atom around a gigantic track. Then they smash it into a wall to separate it into its tiniest bits. Then they observe what happens. This has resulted in what has come to be known as "The God Particle" and it has boggled the minds of modern physicists because it is so elusive.
If a physicist believes this smallest element of nature is a particle, then it will behave as a particle and leave a little dent upon impact. If another physicist believes this smallest element of nature is a wave, then it will behave as a wave and leave a little ripple upon the surface it impacts. Now, going further round the bend, if the physicist, who believes this is a particle, sets up a camera to photograph the result, and then leaves the room, it will behave as a particle and a little dent will be captured on film. If the other physicist, who believes it is a wave, sets up a camera to photograph the result, and then leaves the room, it will behave as a wave and a little ripple will be captured on film. Hmmm… This seems to indicate that what we believe affects the very nature of reality.
Now there is one more aspect to this that stretches our perceptions of everything we have come to know even further. Physicist call it "The Zero Point." At the most minute level of atomic reality our three dimensions of length, width and height are joined by the forth dimension of time. We have known for some time now that time is different in outer space. This is referred to as "time dilation" and has been confirmed by the slowing of atomic clocks aboard the Space Shuttle relative to earth bound clocks. But here, at the quantum level, the level of 'The God Particle,' time seems to grind almost to a halt. In fact it slows to 0.000000000 (add 40 more zeros here)% per second. That is really, really slow. It is so slow that all of our known time is squished together into just a few seconds.
At this level of reality, time is no longer a line. It is more like the axle of a wheel with all time and all events accessible to us from that one center point. From my point of view as a working psychic, herein enters a logical explanation for our ability to access our past lives and receive premonitions about the future. And if we allow our conscious attention to ride on that clear space that is inside of us and that connects us all, one to the other, no wonder we can perceive what is going on in another person's body or in a building half a continentaway.
These discoveries from the world of quantum physics help us to understand how we can do remote viewing or experience visitations from the afterlife. And, if matter doesn't exist and time has slowed to a halt, then what we are left with is everything happening at once and nothing existing but our beliefs. This sheds a whole new light on the power of our thoughts and beliefs and our incredible latent creative potential. No wonder they call it 'The God Particle.'
