INTRODUCTION

8/16/2015: Yesterday, we began a new work. As with all of our other picture quote works, this is a
collaborative work. Though, in many cases we know not who we collaborate with. There are over 100
picture quotes incorporated into this work. We would guess that there are over 80 authors involved in
generating those quotes. In addition, there are probably that many artists involved in generating the
images used in the picture quotes, and potentially dozens of additional people who integrated the images
with the quotes. This particular work is On Soul. We are curious to see what will be expressed as
this work unfolds over the next week or two. Indeed, we do expect to complete it by the end of the month.

Here is where we start. I can think of no better place to begin than with this definition of Namaste.
I use this term often with reverence and respect to the soul with which I am engaged. This
particular definition extends further than I have encountered before. The very idea that there is a
place within us where “the entire universe resides” sent shivers throughout my head and upper
body. For me, this is a sure sign that I have just experienced a grand truth. This also reaffirms
other things that I have known for a long time. In the conclusion to many of the Beyond
Imagination musings, we use: “In Peace, Love, and Light”. OK, we were missing truth and beauty
in that particular conclusion. But, those are already undeniable parts of our life. But, that isn’t all;
we also frequently use: “I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE”. This is a clear declaration that
there is one ONE I AM and that we each spring from that. Given this, it definitely is important
that one honor the souls of one another, especially from soul to soul.

What a wonderful picture to go with this quote. It is important to realize that where we find
separation, the soul does not reside. It simply will not allow itself to be trapped by such. This
realization that truths, especially Eternal Truths lie “beyond the veils of separation” is quite
profound. At the same time, it is clearly correct. So long as we remain separate, we keep ourselves
from seeing many things that truly matter.

ON SOUL

29 July 2009
These are excerpts from the passages within the Beyond Imagination expression that deal
with the soul and its nature. Many of the passages involve the terms heart and soul, but don't
really offer any insight into the nature of the soul, how it functions, or how it is related to
other parts of the self. Also, it was interesting to see how often spirit and soul are linked ...
sometimes as if they were the same thing.
Selected passages from this Beyond Imagination document were chosen to be included
in each section of the On Soul picture quotes work. In particular:
4 Introductions 90 Observations 16 Humor
112 Realizations 50 Wisdom 4 Conclusions
That comes to a total of 266 or 2 x 133 = 14 x 19 quotes = N x S. 1941 was when
WWII began. 2 13 3 = 12 23 = death of wayne. S x N also begs to be interpreted by
the words that can be made from it by adding vowels.
SAN NASA NAUSIA ASIAN => ASLAN (I-J-K-L)
SEN SEEN ONES
SIN SINE NOISE NO IS EE (MS from Stanford, not in EE)
SON SOON NOSE NOOSE NO SEE EE SON
SUN AN US
Don’t allow any of this to scare you or to turn you away from what follows. You are in for
a treat. I only included the above to capture an example of the metaphysical excursions
even simple numbers can take me on. I would advise you to grant yourself the freedom
to allow spirit to make such connections in your life and see where they might lead.
While we have included Beyond Imagination material in some prior such works, it was
always in a special section that followed the introduction. Here, the quantity of passages
included was so great that separation into applicable sections seemed warranted if not
necessary. Hopefully, you will find this twist on things to be an interesting and useful one.

[I-1] The words flow forth ... that which was unseen becomes seen ... the
unmanifested becomes manifest. Out of nothing, comes a creative expression of
consciousness. The process is magical. I am engaged in the dance of
consciousness. She animates and moves me. She restoreth my soul. She leads
me to exactly where I need to be. She moves me to be all that I can be ... to awaken
before there is light, and to express well into the night. She touches me
deeply. She allows me to see and feel as I have never seen and felt before. She
has had more impact on my life than anyone or anything. Who is she? Good
question. She is the muse, the source of all inspiration. She is my very soul, the
spark of consciousness that connects me to the ONE. Her beauty is everywhere,
both in the manifest and the unmanifest. Her ways are subtle yet she has great
strength. She is creativity personified. I have complete trust in her and would
follow her guidance anywhere.
[I-2] One question stirs my soul ... why am I here, what is it that I came to do? Note
how this is phrased. I didn't ask what am I here to learn, or what I am here to experience,
or what am I here to realize ... I asked what did I come to do.
[I-3] All that I can do is ride the wave of consciousness. It is indeed an ocean. And, you
don't control the ocean. Though some people become quite adept at surfing and
harnessing the energy that is there. Is that what I do here? Is this a sort of surfing with
the soul? I don't know how to explain it, try though I might. There is an inner connection
to source that I am somehow able to tap. What this "source" is, I know not. I only know
what she is able to express through me. That has to be enough. The saying: you shall
know them by their works definitely applies here. I find her works to be wonderful to
behold.

[I-4] There are still the issues of body, soul, mind, and spirit to deal with. Beliefs seem to
be stuck in the mind ... the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, and perhaps even
the superconscious mind. Regardless, they seem to present in the realm of the
mind. Soul is another matter entirely. It seems to be beyond belief. It seems to be our
isness somehow. In particular, our separate isness. Our soul is that individual essence
that God placed in the clay of the body to give it breath, to give it life. Some might say
that it is the spirit that breathes life into us. What do I know? Soul is a foreign term to
me, one that I use infrequently. Spirit is what gives me inspiration ... spirit is what drives
the source within. Spirit is what allows me to soar on the wings of consciousness. I don't
think of soul doing any of these things for me. But there is something that distinguishes
the two. Spirit is ONE. Souls are individual and MANY. What else distinguishes the
two? Soul is tied to heart and to emotional reality. It also seems to be tied to
relationships. Perhaps if I were more involved in relationships I would have more direct.

I love images such as this. For me spirit has always been experienced as the divine feminine in
our life. Indeed, one of our first picture quotes works was on this very topic. Here, the artist has
captured some very special in a way that perfectly illustrates the picture quote. Indeed it is our
EYES that are the windows of our soul. In this case, windows that operate in two ways: first,
they enable our souls to see out … to experience the world through their perspective; and second
to allow others to see in to catch a glimpse of who we truly are. Here, the eyes show a
vulnerability and an openness that indicates a strong desire and readiness to share.

Hopefully, this example of what spirit is able to do through me will motivate you to engage spirit in
working through you in some way. No, it may not be written works. But, there is something creative
that spirit can do through you … something that is of service in some way. Ultimately, it all comes
down to the three directives that compose the motto for BISPIRIT. Be Kind! Share! Serve! If we
all embrace these three principles in our lives, the world would become a better place in a heartbeat.
Once again, the “price” that we set for this work is one hour of your time in service to others who are
outside of your immediate family. Though, there is an exception. If you already tithe either your
time, your income, or some combination of the two … then consider this work to be one of the rewards
that come from spirit for what you already do. A tithe is all that is asked by Spirit. You are free to
give more if you choose, but that is not a requirement. We ask that you consider this to be a sacred
obligation on your part. It is up to you to honor your obligation. We have no means nor intent to
ensure that you do so. Here, we trust your integrity.
This particular work is split into a number of sections: Observations, Humor, Realizations, Guidance,
and Wisdom. At this point, this has become our “recipe”. We hope that you find this not only
interesting but insightful and useful to you as well. Ultimately, that is what matters … utility. Does
what is expressed allow us to make our lives and the lives of others better as a result of experiencing it
and applying it? If so, the work is “worth it” … worth everything that went into creating it.

As always, your feedback is invited and appreciated: [email protected]

OBSERVATIONS
Let’s start with observations. Some of these are directly about Soul. Others are about things that are
traditionally associated with Soul. Observations are things that we notice, things that catch our
attention as interesting or notable in some way. As in all of our works, our intent in sharing our
perspective is to allow you to see things through our eyes and perhaps expand your world as a result.
[O-1] It is up to me to decide and channel my energies into those activities most attuned
to my soul. In doing so, I fulfill my chosen destiny.
[O-2] I long to do what is in accord with my soul's desires. I long to be whom that I truly
am, as fully as is possible at this time on the planet.
[O-3] I am ready; or, at least, very close to being ready -- to materialize the circumstances
that permit the full manifestation of my soul in flesh.
[O-4] It's as if numerology speaks the language of my soul.
[O-5] When we deal with old souls, there is a difference in attitude. There is more of an
acceptance and less of a desire to work. This can be perceived as laziness, but that is
not it at all. We can work smartly and more effectively than others. There is less of an
attachment to things because of an awareness that the things to which we are attached
effectively imprison us.
[O-6] I offer you the vision of a fellow soul, a traveler who sees the world through a unique
set of glasses.
[O-7] Mavericks and lone wolfs are useful as well, and these will express as their souls
dictate -- sometimes regardless of what others might think.
[O-8] The times of happiness we encounter along the way will tell us when we were
engaging our true talents and allowing our soul to be more fully enfleshed.
[O-9] One cannot tell anything about soul age from physical age, however. Nor can one
tell anything about soul age from position or station in society. Rather, the distinction
comes in how one lives, what one believes, and how one treats others.
[O-10] We are souls in flesh now. Though, we are limited in our conscious expression by
our conscious awareness and ego.
[O-11] Who you are is a soul expressing itself in flesh to the greatest degree possible
given your present state of awareness. Why in flesh? Because that is where reality games
are played in which consciousness creates and finds out its own nature.

[O-12] Soul age in particular makes one of the biggest differences. If you've reached this
far, you're probably an old soul. Otherwise, you would not have had enough openness to
stick it out this far or to even start this journey. Until one is through with the drama and
intensity and mature soul existence, one does not focus much activity on spiritual
development.
[O-13] We are souls creating experiences so that we can learn of our own nature.
[O-14] Each person has a unique role to play. All are necessary. Most of the special roles
were selected by old souls who had achieved the highest levels of abilities and of wisdom.
[O-15] It won't take long for the populations of the world to demand a new order. This
time, they will accept one that is revealed by spirit. And, the appropriate souls will indeed
be brought together to create this order.
[O-16] Is there possibility of such places and Shangri-la? My soul answers yes. It is in the
Heart and Soul of all those who dream of such utopias.
[O-17] I sense that there are many who are at a crossroads in their life, in limbo between
a way of life that they no longer find satisfying and a new more spiritual way of life that
they want to express but haven't found the means to do so. These are the souls that I
need to reach. They are on the forefront, the first phase of the Legion of Light. They
specifically came to lead the way that a host of others might follow. These are advanced
souls, only now remembering who they are.
[O-18] As the wayshower, I have bared my soul in the most intimate way that I could to
help bring forth spiritual truths about the nature of consciousness. Or have I? For the most
part, it is consciousness that brings the material through. I've been through a series of
awakenings that I believe were required to open me for this material to be manifested.
However, thus far, I'm not really on the line for anything. Yes, I've revealed things about
my state of mind that most people keep private. But, I don't feel threatened by this in any
way. Ok, you could say I have bared some part of my soul after all, but I do it lovingly, as
an example of the level of interaction I would like to see in society.
[O-19] I've been a mental vagabond, traveling to the shores of various metaphysical ports
of thought, picking up an idea here, another there, and a few techniques and experiences
along the way -- never knowing where I was going or why, but trusting that my soul was
guiding me every step of the way.
[O-20] Then again, tolerance of the views of others is the mark of an advanced soul. That
doesn't mean we have to either agree to or even understand where they are coming from.
Am I an "advanced soul"? I just picked the words from a couple of sentences previous.
Perhaps I am. Then again, perhaps not. At the very least, I am different.
[O-21] Awareness is the key. It unlocks the door to the true mansion of the soul.

[O-22] I am indeed faithfully following the path down which consciousness leads me. It's
almost scary to think how much of this makes sense, yet how little people are aware of it.
In fact, I cannot be sure that even one other soul is aware -- for such has not entered my
experience.
[O-23] I still live in a belief system in which the Play is co-created by the Self or Soul in
advance of its enactment. Within this structure, free will is absent, even though it appears
to be alive and well.
[O-24] The key events are all laid out. However, their execution requires some
knowledgeable souls to blaze the trail and lead the way. Many are ready to follow, they
only need someone in whom they can trust to "lead them to the promised land" so to
speak.
[O-25] You might think of each of these souls as sparks of the ONE consciousness, some
brighter, some dimmer. Unlike real sparks, these soul sparks are simply partitions of
consciousness with varying levels of awareness. Those with grander awareness have
larger partitions and increased channels for information.
[O-26] There appears to be a special group of souls here to bring about the transition to
a new age. Most are still operating in relative isolation. However, the energy pattern is
changing calling these souls together to do their work, more and more.
[O-27] I believe in a destiny that pulls us from above to be what we are meant to be. I
believe not because this is what I've been taught, rather because this is something which
strikes the chords of my soul.
[O-28] The soul knows that SERVICE to others as well as to self is required for it to
operate properly in this world, and for it to truly express whom that it is.
[O-29] Even Thomas Jefferson only said "We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all
men are CREATED EQUAL". Note that he didn't say "are equal" or "are born equal",
these are conditions we face HERE and NOW. He specifically said "created equal".
Creation happen outside of the dimensions of space and time ... it is a spiritual matter
that applies to the soul.
[O-30] Where did I get the presence of mind that allows me to experience life in the
manner that I do? If not from my environment and upbringing ... and surely not from my
genetic makeup alone; then, from where did such knowingness and awareness spring
forth? The wellspring of my soul is that rich, the ties to spirit so great that I simply knew.
There was never any sense that I should even begin to doubt the manner in which I
experienced life, and the manner in which my consciousness expressed. It mattered not
that it was unlike any others that I was to encounter. There was always a depth of trust in
Self that knew no bounds. This has grown to an equivalent depth of trust in SPIRIT, in the
ONE CONSCIOUSNESS that is the source of all awareness and experience.

[O-31] We all choose everything that we experience at a soul level. However, we interpret
what it means at a conscious level. The point of the game is to grow in awareness ... to
make the process conscious.
[O-32] My sense is that our awareness and focus are how we tune into a "station" or
thought stream. Our soul creates this stream for us, we don't consciously create the
thoughts.
[O-33] The EGO can see the world with blinders at times. Many people color much of
what they do with a "what's in it for me" attitude. But, the soul knows that such is not its
native expression. It knows that SERVICE to others as well as to self is required for it to
operate properly in this world, and for it to truly express whom that it is.
[O-34] We are each powerful souls, regardless of what our present physical form may
indicate.
[O-35] As souls, we are ancient beings ... some would say eternal beings. When we take
on a new mortal form, we forget whom that we are for a while, and go about the business
of living in physical reality. We develop our bodies, our emotions, and our minds; and we
develop our natural talents and abilities.
[O-36] Scientists serve by using their skills to pursue scientific truth and apply this for the
good of mankind and the Earth. Artists serve by applying their creative skills to generate
works that move people and stir their souls. Farmers serve by producing food to feed the
multitudes. Craftsmen serve by creating things that people need and value: homes,
furniture, cars, appliances, etc ... Health care professional serve by healing the ailments
and diseases of people. There is nothing too great for spirit, nor anything too small. It is
but for us to follow the dictates of our souls to express whom that we are in a way that is
of service not only to ourselves but also to others.
[O-37] Yes, I still live in this world ... but my mind and soul rest in other domains. Actually
they do far more than rest. They bring forth as much information as they can carry to
express here through me.
[O-38] At deep levels, we are never really out of control ... though the control may not
be consciously applied. Our Self, our soul, is always in control at some level ... always.
[O-39] This expression continues to amaze me. It definitely soothes and restores my
soul. It is here that I stand arm to arm with spirit, tapping the source within to bring forth
whatever would be expressed.
[O-40] Ultimately, what we are looking for are those things that truly excite us, those things
that captivate our souls.
