World Soul Time
- World
- (Sense) some perceptions correspond to each other (Consensual Reality), others do not (Non-consensual Reality).
- CR → impersonal, authorised, fundamental
- NCR → personal, individual, subjective, less fundamental, less consent, less authority
- Impersonal sense perception authorised by science (or psuedo-scientifically based beliefs)
- “Real” → not necessarily “true” → some objective facts, some matter of opinion, based either on faith, or on a limited understanding.
- Truth
- Problem → absolute truth
- experience of real vs. “not real” → mad, marginalised → discriminated against
- (Sense) some perceptions correspond to each other (Consensual Reality), others do not (Non-consensual Reality).
- Time - spiritual progress
- ability to raise self to level of identification with a higher mind.
- beyond that of contact with mind and spirit
- spirit (ruach) → higher soui (נשׁמה) –> Chaya => prophecy, revelation (rare)
- (Chaya) receives power and plenitude directly from the world of emanation.
- more one rises, the closer to realisation of the highest purpose of one’s being
- few achieve this, for the most of us we are blessed with only occasional flashes of awareness (and insight), though one such event can change one’s life (הנני moment)
- Life is lived in the realm of action
- Soul
- functions through its instrument or vessel (body)
- fulfils its function → after all, it is a creation created before you existed, too.
- to perfect the world → Nay, to bring about the Sovereignty of the Divine.
- To realise one’s spiritual potential
- to achieve the realm of the Divine
- to always remain connected to the realm of the Material
- part conscious, part unconscious
