What will you be when your Soul grows up?… 11 April 2021 – Posted in: Reflections – Tags: , , , , ,

… Magical words of inspiration which came to me.  It’s amazing how it flows just when I need it most. It wasn’t that long ago that I needed to do a spiritual service address. These words flowed through my mind and I knew they were special… What will you be when your soul grows up?…

I can’t honestly remember what I said that day.  That is the magic of speaking mediumship.  It was for Barry Spiritualist Church for an online service during these times of social distancing. A wonderful opportunity to be of service to an audience across the country that I might not have otherwise been of service to. Whatever flowed that evening during the service, I felt at the time was special. Afterwards, I discovered that it touched other soul’s listening because they felt compelled to comment afterwards. It gave them food for thought and food for the soul. That’s what matters most to me.  To inspire others.

Since that service, those words have given me pause for thought and speak to my own soul for further contemplation. It occurs to me that our life in this world is filled with opportunity, disappointment, love, loss, hope, joy and everything in between. Our soul is on a journey to experience everything to the best of our abilities and constraints. As a spiritualist I know that my soul, my consciousness and the memory of this life will live on.  It will live on with me because I will live on beyond this world. We cannot run away from who we are and things we have done. What has been said and done cannot be undone – it can be improved; it can be a lesson, a growth, an opportunity!

Beyond this physical world is a life. A life that continues in a realm we call spirit. Perhaps we go to some sort of spiritual school dependant on our progression in this life. I am sure that we go over things that have been said and done and look to see where we can continue to improve – where we learnt our lesson, where we grew and sought opportunity.

As a medium, I am privileged to be a part of other people’s personal moments, memories and messages of forgiveness, love, healing, acknowledgement of things said and done and how those in the next world continue to learn. This means we (our soul/ consciousness) continues to grow – we remember; we have opportunity; we can progress (the Progressive Soul). That means our soul is still growing up.

I wonder, do we get an opportunity to do things we wished we could have done? To make right what we did wrong?  I am sure that we do, dependant on our willingness, our choice, our acknowledgement. We also have the option to act on it in this life… If I do as much work on myself now, can I skip a few levels of learning in the spirit world?

This thought brings me to the ancient Egyptian myth/ belief. The weighing of the heart against a white feather. Here, I paraphrase: the soul is met by Anubis in the ‘Hall of Truth’. The weighing of the heart is witnessed by many and is by judgement of Osiris. Osiris will receive the soul’s heart from Anubis and places it on one side of the golden scale. The white feather is then placed on the other side of the scale by the goddess Maat. Maat represents order, truth and all that is right. The symbology of the weighing of the heart beautify represents what I feel. The more work we do on ourselves now, in this part of the souls’ journey in life, the lighter our heart will be. For me this suggests the souls’ growth, surely this means skipping a few lessons in the spirit realm?

I’m sure that in spirit there must be roles we take on – healers, teachers, inventors, artists, philosophers, inspirers… dependent on our souls’ spiritual progression in this life. At some point, our growth must take us from being a student to taking on a role; sooner or later, once the generations that we are closest to have joined us in the next life, spirit – we must progress onward. The journey must take us somewhere; perhaps we become beings of light – angelic.  Pure unconditional love. In service to the universal balance and to creation. This is where I feel ‘at-one-ment’ truly comes into reality. Once we lose the sense of self, we are love, we are life, we are light. We are.

What do I want to be when my soul grows up?… I want to have a heart as light as a feather and to go on as an inspirational, creative beam of light into the universe.
