INTRODUCTION

You can no longer be a prisoner within your body; you are designed to be free.  There is a universe inside of you; a cosmos of authority and information that has yet to use the tools necessary for physical enunciation.  You don’t know this because something else has taken command.  It has brought with it a chaos that, unless you take a stand for self-governance, will devastate any chance of a peaceful and fulfilled life.  What has committed such an atrocious act?

It is your very self; your own flesh and blood.

After layers of generations, the hypnotic creations of man have paid off significantly.  In an exodus from harmony with the natural world, which is now wrongly considered archaic, and moving into an allegedly advanced state, man has created a new tower of Babel.  Taking residence atop it, surrounded by our worthless adornments, we scream for recognition and acknowledgment, demanding tribute to our own vanity and self-aggrandized proofs.

Our pride in technological advancement has convinced us that we are gods.  With our countless designed apparatus we think we’ve gauged the world, measured the reaches of its limits, traced the origins of our history, and explained the mysteries of most terrestrial occurrences in our grasp.  Our innovation and physical accoutrements have created a scab of self-righteousness that attempts to cover the gaping wound of our transgressions:  Forgetting why we are here, losing knowledge of what we are, destroying each other and the world around us, becoming overwhelmed by self-absorption and worldly indulgences, and falling out of sync with our design.

This detrimental flaw is an affliction to the race of man and the cause for our spiritual and physical collapse.  In explaining away all of the prior mysteries of the world, we have left little room for the existence of a higher power.  We’ve arrived at the conclusion that anything of spiritual content that cannot be estimated by the tools of our hands must not exist.  Those that still do believe rarely conceive that the god of their religion is impotent and confined to the ideology professed by the follower; god has been molded into an entity whose value equates to the convenience of the believer and no further.

Each particular believer has stopped seeing an Architect that is beyond rituals and rites, confessions and structured gatherings, marketing and money, and confining laws that instill haughtiness and guilt.  Man is his own Frankenstein’s monster:  A manipulatively designed creature bent on total annihilation.  We have overestimated our competence to such a degree that the bindings on our wrists were never tighter and our eyes have never been more incapable of penetrating the viral fog of ignorance.

But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my Soul; and I felt then that I should survive to exhibit what I shall soon cease to be—a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others and intolerable to myself.Mary Shelley

Man, by intention, is a social creature whose brilliance is supplanted by a continuous cycle of manipulation.  Each human is susceptible to the constructs of itself or others in the species and within the tribe.  Most all actions are a drive for not only survival, but acceptance.  Man created religion, and in turn, man follows it.  A normal life, as the masses would call it, is a misconstrued and socially prescribed view of what is presently accepted in first world society.

Normality is now a steadily moving and chameleonic word that adorns itself with new delights as each year passes.  It is a magnetic title, a threadbare robe donned by the insecure masses, which has influenced the world to the point of exasperation.  It’s such a powerful shape-shifting harlot that billions of people flock to its doors to pour out their meager earnings in order to sleep with it.

Clan Consumerism:  The individual purchasing of possessions deemed relevant by society in order to increase personal feelings of belonging and relevance.

Humans teach each other what their current version of normal is from the earliest stages of growth.  In regards to possessions and desires, the customary state of the species is of the utmost importance.  It is the difference between envy and despotism, equality and abandonment.  These creatures pursue normality because they venerate acceptance and they will, by design, attempt most anything in order to achieve a suitable position of relevance.

The pursuit of normality often comes at the expense of freedom due to a person’s lustful desire to achieve it by a deviant means.  Theft, murder, and deception are commonplace and it’s peculiar how humans will do abnormal things in order to attain what they believe to be a state of acceptable normality in the world.

Rediscovery of what you are is the only means of tearing free from this madness.  You have weapons at your disposal that slice away the idiocy of negative group induced thought, allowing you to thrive as a creative individual of strong rapport and fierce wisdom.  The primary defense, wisdom coupled with knowledge of your true self, is the most pertinent.  This true self, the most significant part of who you are, is the immortal Soul:  A fact that has been historically represented, but wholly under-evaluated, for centuries.

Whether you presently call it the higher self, spirit, or super-conscious, etc., is of no consequence.  Its acknowledgement will show how important such a truth is; all without unnecessary over-spiritualization or the involvement of esotericism.  The Soul is the traveler, the master at the helm of your temporary vessel, and the hope for mankind’s survival.

When you reclaim dominion, the illusion becomes apparent and you step outside the lacquered veneer of unhealthy tribal thought.  Normal is a pretense; it’s a tenuous creature that lacks any viable form.  Reclaiming the knowledge of who you are will not only prove this, but set you free to revel in your own individuality and joy in the process.

Tribal madness:  A cycle of social manipulation perpetuated by society, groups, and families in order to establish actions that are in opposition to Soulful expression.  This negative mode of living is promulgated through exposure, direct training, and pressure from other members of an individual’s clan.

As you further step away from the cycle of tribal madness, your realization of the species’ faults become more apparent. Normal starts to look like the trait of a species and not the actions of an Aware being.

Your understanding of the depths at which these creatures have fallen in order to manufacture illusionary and provisional happiness becomes more obvious.  You will discern that unaware humans have done these things in an attempt to find the following:

  •  Satisfaction amidst insatiability
  •  Joy
  •  A reason for occupying
  •  A means of tearing itself away from the Souls control
  •  Relevance
  •  Self-destruction
  •  Profit 

The first two will never be accomplished.  Humans, by their nature, are ravenous; incapable of finding or manufacturing the pure joy exclusively possessed by the Soul.  Therefore, the human, due to its covetous nature, represses Soulful thoughts while filling itself with the innumerable terrestrial desires that compel it.

The flesh fights rapaciously to eradicate Soulful control because it desires autonomy from its master so it can act upon feral impulses, doing just as the other animals are allowed within their construct.  Unfortunately it cannot because it is the only creature that possesses the immortal and divine brilliance of a Soul.  It is the only terrestrial being competent enough to house us because its organic central processing unit was developed with the ability to reason.  The human is a servile biological system and wasn’t built to run rampant but to serve you, and it is your responsibility.

SoulKind, as we are called in this book, don’t just play human.  We don’t seek normality in the conventional sense of what the world deems appropriate.  We don’t fall in queue behind sleepwalkers in order to accomplish enlightenment because that route is impassible and fraught with peril.  When Illuminated, or made Aware of life’s actual realities, you cannot be duped by the masses any further; you can’t hold their hand and be led blindly into the void of hollow consumerism and endless searches for meaning.

Awareness/Awake:  The process of being observant of the life around you, universal ethics, and the separation between Soul and body.

As SoulKind you witness the world from an outside perspective and probe the recesses of your mind, repairing issues while maintaining your machine.  You think individually and can achieve your desired success (a wholly subjective term) in a manner that was impossible while still in a forced and debilitating slumber.

 All men’s Souls are immortal, but the Souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.Socrates

Awakening to greater wisdom means you’ll see the human as it was meant to be observed, noticing the species and its clan behavior.  You will perceive your brain as a neutral mainframe that receives stimuli and acts upon what it’s exposed to.  Yes, you are integrated with one of these amazing creatures, but being one in the sleeping sense becomes more and more difficult, and because of this, you’ll learn the best means of traversing our world.

You’ll grasp that unnecessary emotions are traits common to the species.  The mind vacillates at all times due to human inconsistency and lack of judgment.  It cannot even fully inhabit the true meaning of love.  Human love is a built in means for creating a family and perpetuating the species while dwelling under the umbrella of the relational tribal madness perpetuated by it.

Such a love is necessary for species survival, but it is far removed from the universal love that the immortal Soul possesses.  The more the magnificence of supernatural love overwhelms you, the greater your influence over that which has been placed in your charge.

Tribal madness was not always existent to the excoriating degree that it is at present.  The human lived in a sense of communion with the world created for it.  Yet, the genius character of the flesh demanded relevance, power, and ownership.  As each generation trespassed further, the following one would stand on the shoulders of their fathers and reach deeper into the void of self-succoring greed and control; heeding to the gravitating power of clan consumerism and unquenchable want.

The more the human acted out of accord with its design the further it stumbled into the arms of insanity.  Finally, the Soul became less proficient and the light of the divine was smothered by rampant desire.  This has led to all the human feelings that supplant our natural sense of peace:  Fear, insecurity, constant want, unhappiness, laziness, and a throng of other issues.

Man, in and of itself, is a feral and caustic machine that viciously fights for its entitlements. It has wallowed in unabashed folly, construing it as civility for centuries. After generations of social manipulation, man sings hymns in unison as it spits in the eye of that which brought it to life. It is the action of one entity, the Soul, which will provide any hope for the future of our race.E.G

Each human knows, in the deeper places, that the Soul is there, and use any means to keep it shackled to the wall of obscurity.  It subdues the lingering questions of immortality, life after death, ultimate meaning, and the real God, which are the forte of the Soul; replacing real answers with dread, suspicion, and doubt. The flesh shudders at the thought of Soulful Illumination, knowing the occurrences will force it to face the possible disruption or halting of its ravenous cravings.

Because of the human’s vehemence, it acts out and does anything in its power to mimic what it cannot have:  Everlasting joy and a peace that is not of this realm.  It yearns for that peace and pines for the thought of serenity, but the flesh is only a fading vehicle used by the Soul to experience this world.

The human hates and fears its own mortality, knowing that its time is limited.  It bastardizes the truth and has overcome its master, creating false idols out of possessions in order to plug up a hole in a crumbling dam that it cannot ever reconstruct.

Since the flesh can’t achieve the joy of immortality that a Soul possesses, it lusts for the experience and seeks its own version through accumulation, relevance, and greed until death arrives or intervention occurs.  Without intervention, the human will hunt for these illusions until its time is finally spent; worn out and filled with regrets, envy, and the want of a life not lived.

That very reason is why this book was written:  Intervention.

SoulJourner is about the discovery of what you are, fully realized.  It reveals the truth of your supernatural origin, shows that you’ve been gifted a vessel and a means to explore the magnificent world around you, and confirms that only you are responsible for doing what your unique and liberated individual deems fit.

The majority have forgotten why they are here.  Their humans dwell in corrupt and depressed states, scarring themselves and stifling the attainment of their capabilities.  When you decide to battle against this unnatural protraction and wrestle back your dominion, you’ll never allow anyone to convince you of anything that will hinder bold and unabashed progress again.

The only thing that ever stopped your advancement was not others, nor incapability or insecurity.  It isn’t an impoverished situation or “the man”, and it has nothing to do with your lack of creativity or disbelief in yourself.  It’s that your human is out of control, affected by its surroundings, living as a product of other people’s thinking, and filled with flawed thought patterns that hinder your progress toward an amazing life.

The only thing in the world, of value, is the active Soul.Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are divine, sovereign, and eternal.  All you need to do is keep an open mind, strong resolve, and a willingness to learn.  In doing so, you’ll ascertain remarkable possibilities.  You will recover from crisis, strip yourself of confusion, and shatter the despondency of your prior life. You will achieve your actual desires and goals while also being part of the next stage in the evolution of man.  This is the power of a Soul in control; this is the right of SoulKind.

In a world where the masses are blinded and burglarized by the selfish endeavors of the few, a SoulJourner is the voice that cries out from the wilderness and stakes its claim on self-governance and freedom from the fetters of conceit.

You can now choose to prepare for the dismantling of your human bonds and push to achieve heights that were prior thought unattainable.  You still have the ability to step into your future with joy and a newfound sense of wonder and accomplishment.  You can know the meaning of your life, why you are here, and the fact that you do go on after this voyage is over.

Realize what it feels like to be a revolutionary contribution to society by cutting loose your own particular and unique self; unraveling the bonds of illusion and insecurity. Unearth the answers to life’s questions directly and experience the liberty that flows from a Soul with its human brain tamed and vessel primed for exploration.  Find out the meaning of genuine sovereignty and learn what it really means to be…

… A SoulJourner.
