More About Soul Groups. . .

From one who has passed beyond:

“. . . We belong to groups, one within another, such as groups of family, interests, absorbing work, aspirations, creeds, etc. That is true and that the Group Soul or Group Spirit is the Being in whom the members of the Group live and move. In other words His is the Fount of Divine Life and Energy from which the Groups draws its inspiration, its life, its intuitions. To tune in, therefore, to the Life, Power and Beauty of such a Group Spirit is to experience the God Power within one’s own mind and soul.

All great aspirations, revelations and divine whisperings of intuition originate in and through the Spirit of the Group to which one belongs, i.e. the Highest Point of the Group. Thus, family sacrifices, family peace, love, harmony all originate from the Group Soul of the family; in the same way, great aspirations for service and for imparting knowledge to others and for the guiding and enlightenment of our fellows, comes from the Great Spiritual Being who is the Centre Group Spirit of that particular Group.

Since I left the earth life I have been taught by a Teacher with whom I am in contact, mentally and spiritually. He Himself is a part of the Group Soul in the Group towards which I am progressing and of which, although I was not entirely aware, I have been a member for many ages.

This Teacher is a higher Disciple, a wise and advanced soul, and is able to impart knowledge and wisdom to souls in the Group. Here, progress, when made, is always rewarded with a service. In other words, as one advances to greater Light, so one is allowed to teach and guide others of the Group on a lesser path. The Group itself is made up of souls at all levels of consciousness, from the highest to the mediocre, but the Spirit of the Groups only Itself advances as the younger and less knowledgeable members make progress. It is a unified advance. No member of the Group can pass beyond the call and communication of other members. When the Group itself advances into the Divine Company, then there will be no ‘stragglers’.

But, as I am instructed, such an experience is far beyond the Group consciousness at this stage. Indeed you might be surprised to to learn of the personalities in the small

groups which are all banded together to form the great Group. It embraces many other apparently separate groups.

Thus we are indeed ‘one with another’ and it seems to me that one of our chief lessons to learn whilst immersed in the personality is that of tolerance. For often we do not know (how can we when our eyes are veiled in the earthly life?) who is a member of our same group. We may even feel a sense of repellance towards a certain person, even though he appears to be working along identical lines of thought with us, but repellance is shallow, ephemeral and later, when we have shed some of the lesser aspects of the personality, we may find that the other person is an advanced member of our own Group to whom we are indissolubly linked by ties of spiritual kinship.

On the other hand there are souls to whom we instinctively and immediately react with affection, admiration, union. I used to believe that these were souls with whom we had been in contact in other incarnations and to whom we owed karmic debts or who owed us reparation for wrongs inflicted. Now my understanding is widening. What I believed may still be true in part, but now I realise that those souls who attract us are part of ourselves. They belong to the same Group, the same Spiritual Family, the same Group Soul. Their connection with us is deeper and far more permanent than mere earth contacts could make it. They may be part of the same Spirit as that Spirit is Itself part of the Great Spirit, the great Company of Divinity, far beyond our comprehension, the Company of Heaven, the Co-Creators, the Divine and Beautiful Sons of God.
