The evolution of the soul is a mysterious and glorious affair with life.
The souls ultimate goal is and has always been to attain enlightenment.
Enlightenment is a work in progress with different developmental stages
influencing it. When a person understands the energies as well as the
stages of growth they are experiencing they reunite with their souls
aspirations and can manifest those aspirations through right thought and
conduct.
We would like to discuss these developmental stages so a better
understanding of the growth cycle can be acquired. At the present time
on earth these cycles are speeding up and merging together eliminating
time frames as you would normally perceive them.
Some of you will experience this merging while others will live the
time frame of the full allotted cycle. One is no better then another,
for both awakens the realization of your divine self. For those of you
who are taking the Wisdom of Being Correspondence Course this
information is applicable to Part Two.
Between the ages of 1 and 14, the physical cycle of growth takes shape
and becomes the dominant factor in ones life. It is during this stage of
living that hereditary influences are revealed and the constitution of
the physical body is known.
Its health or ill health, physical strengths or handicaps, the
individual's position in life and within the family unit, the span of
life and type of circumstances pertaining to ones life are shown. The
body is the budget of credits and debits, which have carried over from
ones prior lives and relate to what one has to deal with in the present
life. Most karmic health problems present themselves during this cycle.
When a person is in this cycle it would be helpful to create and
maintain a healthy physical environment in which they can grow. Address
issues of a karmic nature, shift the energies of ill health and
encourage creative enterprises.
Between the ages of 14 and 21 the psychic cycle of growth appears within
the life of the individual. It is during this stage in ones life that
feeling and desire takes hold. These feelings and desires are often the
result of what one has desired, felt and done in past lives. Emotional
insecurity as well as psychic impressions forms during this stage of
ones life cycle. Repeated dreams, nightmares, visions and emotional
outbursts assert themselves during this stage of growth.
When a person is in this cycle care should be given to the emotional
well being of the individual. Encouragement, support and respect on all
levels and in all areas of the individuals life should be implemented.
Between the ages of 21 and 35 the mental cycle presents itself. Mental
energy expresses itself as the thought patterns one has and how those
thought patterns influence ones behavior. It represents the atmosphere
associated with the mind of the individual and includes the mental
character, attitudes, intellectual attainments and other mental
endowments.
When a person is in this cycle attention should be given to the
stimulation of thought and the encouragement of inspiring ideas.
Between the ages of 35 and 52, the spiritual cycle is awakened within
ones life. Spiritual energy represents the amount or degree of self
knowledge one has about themselves and the application of that
knowledge. Spiritual growth is the result and the use of ones creative
and generative force. It manifests as ones knowledge of humanity and
human relations. The amount of self knowledge one has is shown by the
degree of self control one expresses over their physical and emotional
desires, as well as knowing what should be done for oneself and others.
It activates intuition and brings forth enlightenment on any subject,
idea, action or deed that the individual is engaged in. Spiritual
awakening is the sum total of the individual and works in conjunction
with all others phases of growth. It accelerates understanding,
acceptance, and compassion towards self and others.
When one has awakened their spiritual understanding fully, they have the
ability and strength to use their awareness to clear any remaining
debris within their being, to serve the universal plan and dissolve
karmic energies within and around them.
If you work with the energies associated with the above cycles you can
move through each one effectively and speed up the growth process. In
each stage of growth emphasis should be placed on the energies that
complement it for the best results to be attained.
