Hi Rad and Everyone,
I have a few questions that I have thought about for many many years that just won't seem to leave me alone and Rad if you have any answers and would like to share that would be wonderful... If not I understand I know you are all very busy doing amazing work but EA, in particular JWG's work as well as everyone on this message board is the one place I feel I can continue to come back to over and over again for answers that actually resonate deeply with-in me. If these questions have been answered elsewhere feel free to send me in that direction, also I apologize if they seem uneducated or silly somehow...
God creates all souls? What do we evolve from? Rocks have energy but not a soul? Do all souls start out as something other than a human and evolve into one?
Does human life on planet earth happen because of the separating desire of the soul? Is that the only reason?
If the seperating desire causes a human conception and a souls energy never dies, what happens if almost everyone on this planet is wiped from existence? What happens to those souls who have yet to complete their evolutionary journey?
I have thousands and thousands more...
Maybe it's not at this time in my evolution that I am even supposed to know these things if I can't know these things for myself... For me evolving is always searching for understanding I can't change that... Understanding has always come to me through reading, researching, asking, talking, watching, observing, feeling and then something will finally resonate... Then I Know... Since I was a young child all I ever wanted was to sit with Greatness and ask away until I no longer had a why in me...
Thank You for this space,
Heather
Hi Heather,
Your questions are not silly or uneducated but some have been covered already.
"God creates all souls?"
What is called God does create Souls yet I don´t know about the actual process. Maybe Rad can go into how it works a little.
"What do we evolve from?"
We evolve from that which we call God, the Source of all things which is eternal consciousness. A singular Soul is also part of that consciousness that evolves over great lengths of "time" thru various physical forms. The human form is not how we start out and, to have reached human form means we have evolved enough to be able to do so. From my understanding, we start out incarnating as something as basic as cells, which have very limited functions and then work our way onwards from there, going thru various forms (incarnations). As we evolve our individual awareness, our Souls, the forms we incarnate in will become more complex, as our awarenesses are more evolved and able to experience more complex physical lives.
Rocks and plants also have Souls which emanate thru them, there was a thread in which Rad shared some great info about all this. Here is the thread:

"Does human life on planet earth happen because of the separating desire of the soul? Is that the only reason?"
I can´t say if that is the only reason but desire is what leads to practically anything, including us incarnating here on the planet. The reason we incarnate is to fulfill those separating desires until they become exhausted and then the desire to return home to our Source will begin to emerge in our awareness until it becomes the only desire left. This takes a very long "time".
"If the seperating desire causes a human conception and a souls energy never dies, what happens if almost everyone on this planet is wiped from existence? What happens to those souls who have yet to complete their evolutionary journey? "
People can be wiped from the face of the earth but not from existence as we are not physical beings but timeless Souls. We would simply go to our respective places within the Astral realm and then continue to incarnate in human form in other places in the Universe if the Earth was not inhabitable, in order to continue our evolutionary journeys.
"Maybe it's not at this time in my evolution that I am even supposed to know these things if I can't know these things for myself... For me evolving is always searching for understanding I can't change that... Understanding has always come to me through reading, researching, asking, talking, watching, observing, feeling and then something will finally resonate... Then I Know...

It´s totally natural to desire to know about ourselves and existence, and the search will bring the answers we look for in time. Collecting information is one way of opening our minds to new concepts but we need direct experience to really KNOW how existence and we operate. Meditation and many other practices, over time, can help our awareness expand and then we can progressively perceive more.
Ask whatever you feel relevant.
All the best
Skywalker,
Thank you so much for taking the time you have to answer all this... I also went to the thread that you posted, thank you... I have tried to meditate for many years now, since about 2007, I'm having such are hard time with it as my mind never stops... I desire direct experience more than anything and through out my whole life the closest I felt to direct experience was with in nature, rocks, plants, animals, trees and being in the woods alone, I was able to kind of meditate when I walked in nature alone, if that makes sense... Recently in my life I have been thrown into complete darkness and despair where I have no connection to anything or anyone anylonger... I can't feel anything anymore except complete sadness and despair and that is not me, I'm funny and full of life and feelings I used to feel everything and the depth of my emotions had no end... When I was young all I ever wanted was to know my creator, I always felt very different from everyone I ever knew, in my younger adult years I have spent some time deviating from that desire and relationships started to take control of my life but I have been on the right path again for many years... I know the only thing that matters is what I desired most as a child and I am focused and determined... Yet here I find myself for about 2 years now in emptiness... I think mediation would be very helpful to me, I have had a strong premonition to make it part of my life, and I have tried different ways of calming the mind without avail... It's very hard for me to keep going every day and keep the faith when I have been stripped of all that I am... I have asked God for understanding and hope that it comes soon...

Hi Heather,
Remember that sometimes it´s in the darkest hours that the greatest growth occurs and that this too shall pass. If natural surroundings are helpful to your emotional state and helps you to meditate then I would suggest spending as much time in nature as possible, just being and finding your center, your peace.
All the best
Hi Heather,
One thing I would add to what Skywalker has said, relative to the mediation desire, is that it takes total concentration upon the natural one/two methods: concentration correlates with will which is intensified through desire itself. So using the will to make that concentration happen upon the one two: not concentrating on the breath. At some point it is that very concentration that becomes the KEY TO UNLOCKING THE DOOR. Once that door begins to unlock in this way the pathway becomes ever more clear.
God Bless, Rad
Rad and Skywalker,
Thank you! Having people to talk to about these kinds of things has been a lifeline in many ways for me, in my world there isn't anyone to talk to or relate to, I'm so different I just don't fit in... I also have strange things happen in my mind that are very hard to navigate and understand and I really can't talk to anyone about them and when I have on very very few occasions expressed myself and what is happening to me and the essence of who I am I am shut down, I know there must be something I'm supposed to learn from all this but it continues to escape me... I can't pretend to be normal and like everyone else and yet I do desperately want to relate with people on a spiritual path... I know through darkness always comes the light as that has been my life story but I have never felt this way before and for so long...
Rad, when you say concentrate on the one two and not the breath do you mean mentally envision the numbers one and two? I have tried that every day for a long time and all that happens is I am saying in my mind the number one when I breath in and then saying the number two in my mind when I breath out but I can not for the life of me envision the numbers? I try to concentrate on the numbers instead of the breath but I'm saying them in my mind not seeing them in my mind? Am I supposed to actually see the numbers in my mind?
Thank you for your help,
Heather
Hi Heather,
No, it's just the concentration within the mind that 'thinks' the one/ two. It is the concentration itself upon those numbers, thinking them, that is the key. As you know now even as you try to concentrate upon those two simple numbers the rest of the mental structure being fueled by the emotional body seems to go almost out of control: just seems to get worse which has the undermining affect relative to the concentration on the one/ two.
Yet, it is the sustained concentration that will prevail in the end. It is the determination to do this that is the key.
God Bless, Rad
Thank you Rad so much...
Heather
