What is the “Soul”?

The Soul is like the filament of a light bulb. Without the filament, the bulb is just a glass bauble. Our Soul is our life-force energy that radiates light through our body. Much like the bulb’s glass, our body is useless without the Soul.

Just like a filament obtains energy from an electricity line, the Soul receives its power from a more significant source, which can be called the Oneness, the Universe or The Creator (if you’re religiously inclined, you may call this source God).

The Soul is that which gives us life force energy and our identity, our sense of self.

The Soul being energy is constantly vibrating. The speed the Soul vibrates is known as “Soul Frequency”.

The Soul’s frequency depends on the level of soul advancement. The more positive, the higher the frequency and the more potent it is in creation.

The Universe and the Soul are made of the same. The energy the Soul radiates is equal to one star twinkling in the night sky. Therefore when we manifest, the Soul and the Universe/Creator cocreate to bring the concept to reality.

When a Soul decides to incarnate, it is on Earth to find its own identity whilst remaining part of the Universe/Creator. Throughout its lifetime, it seeks to understand its contribution to the overall creation process.

Whilst on Earth, the Soul participates in the course of Soul Evolution, wherein it learns lessons during its lifetime. Earth is an excellent school for the Soul due to the daily complex and opposing positive and negative energies at work.

Difficulties for the Soul arise as “Soul Tests’. These are pre-agreed before the Soul incarnates as part of the Soul Plan. The chosen challenges help the Soul advance through learning how to transform negative energy into positive energy.

This wisdom transpires when the Soul overcomes obstacles whilst working to create a happy and fulfilling life. The challenges will arise when the Soul chooses to remain positive rather than spiral into negative thinking. If the Soul decides to cheat its way to happiness through underhand tactics, it creates negative karma, which lowers the Soul’s vibration, moving it further from enlightenment.

Through many life experiences, the Soul matures and learns that negative energies obstruct its path to happiness and how remaining positive creates joy.
