making a decision as to who it will be in their new life?”
“Most definitely,” Usman said. “I’ve been told by clients undergoing hypnotherapy, that their souls, while in the spirit world, see themselves in the future playing different roles in various settings, previewing the life span of more than one human being within the same time cycle. In most cases, souls will quickly recognize one leading candidate for occupation.” He eased back from the table. “However, our spiritual advisors give us ample opportunity to reflect upon all we have seen in the future before making a final decision.”
Samael nodded. “Keep going.”
Usman continued, “While still in the spirit world, after a decision is made, souls enter into a significant period of preparation, much like cramming for a final exam. Then, just prior to embarkation, souls go before the Council of Elders where the significance of a soul's goals for the next life are reinforced. Embarkation to Earth is much like battle-hardened veterans girding themselves for combat. It is the last time the souls are able to enjoy the omniscience of knowing who they are before they must adapt to a new body.”
“Are you saying my soul chose this hideous, white body?”
“Yes, just as my soul chose this.” Usman gestured with both hands towards himself as he glanced down at his frail body. “The purpose of the human experience has everything to do with the growth of the soul—nothing else. We start as beginner souls and progress to intermediate and advanced souls, ending our incarnations on Earth when we reach full maturity.”
“How do we know what level of maturity we have reached?”
“Beginner souls are influenced by an Earth curriculum and are inclined to surrender their will to the controlling aspects of human society. Intermediate souls are ready for more serious responsibilities and are seeking spiritual wholeness. Advanced souls are rare. They typically have no need to seek out Soul Regression Therapy. These souls go about doing their work quietly, always focused. An example of an advanced soul would be Mother Teresa.”
“How long does it take to progress through the levels of maturity?”
“It’s not about time; it’s about purpose and growth. Once you satisfy the purpose of your soul’s incarnation, you will leave your physical body and journey home to your nonphysical place of reality. If, however, your earthly life is cut short and you leave behind any unresolved issues, after a period of rejuvenation and assessment, the soul will be required to leave the sanctuary of the Spirit World and return to Earth.”
“When I leave this place, I hope I never return.”
“Your present feelings of apprehension and fear only exist because you are bound by time and space. The soul does not experience such fears. Fear is of the personality, and therefore, of space and time. Trust me, once you no longer exist in dualism, your senses of sorrow, hate, and fear will evaporate.”
“My sorrow and hate will only evaporate when I have fulfilled my purpose.”
“I believe what drives you now, is the same thing that has driven your soul for thousands of years. The subconscious mind is a storehouse of all of our experiences and thoughts from all of our incarnations. Nothing is forgotten or lost by the subconscious. It often takes multiple lives to complete our purpose. This is why it is possible for a person to accomplish such great things at such a young age. I’m sure you have heard the term old soul .”
“Yes. That explains why my past lives appear to have a common, life purpose.”
“Exactly.”
Samael sipped his, now, lukewarm coffee. From the teahouse on the hilltop, he gazed into the darkness toward the Golden Horn. The path of the river was easily distinguishable as it carved its way through the city lights of Istanbul to the Bosphorus.
He followed the lights of cars along the shoreline drive and across the Galata Bridge. Tiny lights bobbed on
