Will You tell me some things about the soul, please?

 

Sure. I will try to explain, within your limited realm of understanding. But do not allow yourself to become frustrated1 if certain things don’t “make sense” to you. Try to remember that you’re bringing this information through a unique filter—a filter which has been de-signed by you to shield you from too much remembering.

 

Remind me again why I did that.

 

The game would be over if you remembered every-thing. You came here for a particular reason, and your Divine Purpose would be thwarted2 if you understood how everything is put together. Some things will always remain a mystery at this level of consciousness, and it is right that they should.

So do not try to solve all the mysteries. Not at one time, anyway. Give the universe a chance. It will unfold itself in due course.

Enjoy the experience of becoming.

 

Make haste slowly.

 

Exactly.

 

My father used to say that.

 

Your father was a wise and wonderful man.

 

Not many people would describe him that way.

 

Not many people knew him.

 

My mother did.

 

Yes, she did.

 

And she loved him.

 

Yes, she did.

 

And she forgave him.

 

Yes, she did.

 

For all of his behaviors that were hurtful.

 

Yes. She understood, and loved, and forgave, and in this she was, and is, a wonderful model, a blessed teacher.

 

Yes. So. . . . will You tell me about the soul?

 

I will. What do you want to know?

 

Let’s start with the first, and obvious, question: I already know the answer, but it gives us a starting point. Is there such a thing as the human soul?

 

Yes. It is the third aspect of your being. You are a three-part being, made up of body, mind, and spirit.

 

I know where my body is; I can see that. And I think I know where my mind is—it’s in the part of my body called my head. But I’m not sure I have any idea where—

 

Wait a minute. Hold it. You’re wrong about some-thing. Your mind is not in your head.

 

It’s not?

 

No. Your brain is in your skull3
