38.7 The soul’s eternal evolution

 

Every soul in the many lives experienced follows a continuing path of evolution. But if we do something in one life that hinders another soul in its evolution, our soul will first have to correct this disharmony in a subsequent life. In Joseph Rulof’s books, this is called “”righting,“ ‘’cause and effect,”“ and ‘’karma.” In this way, we get to know ourselves better and better, becoming aware of the qualities of our soul that reveal themselves, such as the inner thrust to stay in harmony with other souls.
Thanks to the experiences in one life, we can go one step further in the next. We then no longer have to repeat what we have already learned and we can take on new challenges to grow further in love for everything around us.
Through spiritual growth in our life here on Earth, we start to attach less and less importance to Earthly matter. The spiritual then makes us feel happy and satisfied. When we as souls have completed our life cycle on Earth, we continue our evolution in the afterlife.

-The feeling which resides in you, which is you yourself, and which the soul acquired and is felt as feeling, touches this conscious- ness which manifests itself in your searching and yearning. If this is clear to you, Alonzo, you will feel that the soul must acquire all of these feelings, which requires many lives. It cannot be accomplished in one short earthly life.

-A different image: Someone has property on earth. He is happy, because he owns a lot. Prosperity on earth means happiness to many. But someone with spiritual feeling said to the rich man: ‘My spir- itual knowledge means more to me, my spiritual treasures have more value than all your possessions.’
And these forces, this I want to stress, have induced the person, due to all his material property, to renounce everything belonging to the earth. He possesses happiness in the spirit and he is poor in matter.

-You will feel, our reincarnation, our previous lives send us to dreams, send us to other countries. You stand before people and say: ‘Good heavens, why do I know those people so well? Why do I feel drawn to those people?’ Perhaps it is your child, your mother, your father.

-And I can certainly explain to you, madam, miss, lady, that if you come to Scotland or Ireland, or wherever, to Russia, and there and there and there, that you are suddenly standing before a human being whom you do not know, but for whom you feel. We are not strangers to each other.
