The Soul Plane-
The Soul Plane which is also known as the 5th plane is the first level of heaven in the Pure Positive God Worlds and hence the Soul plane is the first heaven of true spiritual freedom. What this means is the individual who becomes permanently established on the Soul plane no longer is required to reincarnate in the lower worlds but is well on his way to becoming a coworker with HURAY (God).
The Soul plane then becomes the individual's permanent home so that even when he is being of service on Earth his consciousness is in the Soul Plane. The individual who reaches this state in the Soul plane experiences what is called: Self Realization which means he has a direct experience on the Soul plane of knowing who he truly is and his true spiritual purpose or spiritual mission perceived in the Soul plane world.
Most individuals will mistake the Astral plane, Mental, or Etheric plane for the Soul plane or what is assumed to be the Soul plane or plane of spiritual freedom because of the spiritual wisdom and dazzling heavenly wonders or some extatic spiritual experience they have in their spiritual experiences at those levels or in the after world far below the Soul plane in the lower heavens are magnificent.
However this is illusion as until the individual finds a true Spiritual Traveler he may be mistaking a lower heaven for a higher one like the Soul plane. It is also confusing because many will claim to be the highest guru, teacher or Spiritual Traveler leading one to the Soul plane or the highest heaven when in reality they often really they lead one only to a lower heaven and not the Soul plane or beyond the Soul plane. Then in response you might ask: Well then how do we know the difference?
Soul Plane Faculties
We can Know the difference between the true Soul plane and only the illusion of the Soul plane by letting go of dependency on lower world faculties to make our decisions such as the emotions of the Astral plane or the Mind of the Mental plane or out of habit of opinions or doing what we have always done and so on but instead rely on the Soul plane and perceive from the Soul plane through Soul plane faculties of seeing, knowing and being or the state of total awareness.
For example: Was there ever an occasion where you did not have to think out or read about or depend on someone else's spiritual opinions for a solution to an issue you never addressed before but you simply had a sense of knowingness? You just know all about something with out asking anyone and with out trusting your mind's preferred opinions but just knowingness from pure spirit itself such as is experienced on the Soul plane. Or perhaps as experienced on the Soul plane a seeingness where divine spirit tells you though a visual impression that something will lead you in the right direction?
Of course we can see an image shown to us from the lower worlds of illusion but the difference is the knowingness and the beingness of the Soul plane. We simply know it IS.
Out of Body Travel In The Soul Plane
To give you a sense of the Soul Plane and perhaps a little of what makes the Soul plane unique from other spiritual planes I can share one simple experience. On one occasion I closed my eyes to do out-of-body travel and focused on the Soul Plane itself.
Now there are some who move past the Etheric plane (heaven) toward the Soul plane and experience a vast dark foggy abyss that gos on for a long time and they immediately assume that God must be the void or nothingness. But actually they have instead come across the large dark void that separates the lower worlds (lower heavens) from the Pure Positive God Worlds (higher heavens beginning with the Soul plane and above).
Usually only a Spiritual Traveler can pass through this endless darkness of this foggy abyss to reach the first of the Pure Positive God Worlds or the first God Realm heaven of the Soul Plane. But in working with the Spiritual Travelers at first we can visit these realms before eventually becoming permanently established in the Soul plane and achieving true spiritual freedom in this Soul plane realm.
Well continuing with what I was sharing I appeared in the Soul plane, a world of vaporous white light that had a radiant pale yellowness to it. The airiness of the light made it seem almost vaporous. In this Soul plane I experienced a feeling of great freedom. In the Soul plane the lower faculties of emotions and mind were left in the lower worlds and I experienced through seeing, knowing, and being. It was a sense of total awareness. In this Soul plane the pale yellow light went on far into the distance as the Soul plane is infinitely larger then all of the planes below.
Soul Plane, The Realm Of Pure Spirit
This is the pure positive Soul plane realm which contains no matter but only pure spirit so there is a great feeling of lightness, spaciousness, and exhilarating freedom. Also time does not exist on the Soul plane so there is a peaceful timeless stillness. With in this Soul Plane I heard a sound which reminded me of thousands of tiny shimmering crystals which I tend to hear on all the higher planes however many who visit this Soul Plane say they hear a single unbroken note of a flute.
Spiritual Cities In The Soul Plane
There are spiritual cities and other sights that abound on the Soul plane that glow in the distance but I did not focus on them. Instead my heart was drawn to Sat Nam who is the Spiritual Ruler of this Soul Plane or first Pure Positive God World. Sat Nam was in the distance, a glowing being with shaven head, golden skin, bracelets on his upper arms. With in this misty glowing Soul plane seemed to float and his eyes were closed as though seeing worlds upon worlds. He was youthful in appearance and yet ancient. Shimmering waves of light emanated from him for vast distances in billowing clouds.
Soul Plane Dialog With Sat Nam
In the heart of the Soul plane Sat Nam's communication flowed not in words but in a knowingness or impressions, I see a flame in the light body of Soul. To the individual Sat Nam communicates, "You are a God being that has forgotten its self, its true nature. It's very core essence and purpose."
Sat Nam continues, "The flame of soul is not extinguished by lesser loves (materialism, human interests, social, and so on). See the flame with in soul shining brightly. "We ignite these flames with spiritual contemplation, practicing spiritual exercises, and following the instructions of the true Spiritual Travelers."
And then in the Soul plane I see golden yellow coins and Sat Nam communicates, "More valuable then gold is the fate of your soul, your very destiny throughout eternity. The heart, this flame with in soul is best lit with HURAY (God)."
Sat Nam's words were brilliant and golden like this glowing pale yellow world of the Soul Plane and essentially he was saying the the HU-man fills its consciousness with trivia of the lower worlds instead of the total awareness of the Soul Plane. Sat Nam in a sense was saying that Soul fills its consciousness with the glitter and show of the Astral heavens, the material riches of the physical World, the thirst for knowledge in the mind realms, and the things of impermanence which capture the Soul's attention and keep it in the clutches of Maya, a prisioner in time, space, and duality.We can in a sense have a normal human life with material possessions, job, relationships and so on but our consciousness can be in heaven such as the magnificent Soul plane and beyond the Soul plane our awareness can be with HURAY God.
