If, in my 1987 vision, I had looked up through the coil of lifetimes in matter, or down, this is what I would have seen. (1)
I’d like to look now at a few topics which I believe are basic to lightwork, as a change of pace
I’d like to start with the whole subject of soul design, as far as the celestials, galactics, and ascended masters have described it in the sources I’ve read.
I say “as far as the celestials, etc., have described it,” but after a thorough canvasing of the literature that I’ve gathered together, (2) the truth is I couldn’t find a single source that actually defined “soul design” or explained it as a concept in detail.
I guess that leaves me to give it a try.
Soul design may refer to (A) a design that applies to the soul as an individual, through lifetime after lifetime, or (B) a design that applies to just one lifetime. I call them (A) the primal soul design and (B) the lifetime soul design.
In the case of A, I haven’t the knowledge to comment. I leave that to Archangel Gabrielle towards the end of our discussion here.
In the case of B, which is the more normal context for the term, the term “design” refers to planned events that are intended to accomplish what all the design team wants to accomplish in that lifetime. (3)
We usually have a team that helps with the lifetime design. It typically would include our archangel, our twin flame, our father and mother candidates, and any other interested parties. The Divine Mother has been known to be part of our design teams at this special juncture in universal history. (4)
Our soul design for any one lifetime sets out our unique mission and pre-birth choices.
I can offer a few clues of this design from my own life. Here are some things the Mother has said about my soul design for this lifetime:
“You have chosen long, long ago with Me, with Annastara [my twin flame], with ME KI AL, to be a communicator and an agent of change.
“You have said to me, ‘Mother, what if they forget? I will remind them. I will communicate with them through words, through my passion, through my heart, through my knowing. I will communicate the love to them.’
“This is your task and it is a task of change as this planet, in this great chaos, in flux, chooses, yes, by this wonderful instrument of free will, as they choose and as you choose to simply be the love.” (5)
OK, my mission is as a communicator and agent of change, to be the love. And she indicates that my soul design team included (but was not limited to) her, Michael, my twin flame Annastara, and my other guardian angels.
Add a bevy of past-life worthies to the list. You get the picture.
The Mother alluded to the design effort again in the following exchange when I asked her if the Xenia experience of the Self had been truncated:
“Let me be very clear about that. If you had seen the light as it actually is – yes, a million, billion suns – you would have simply departed. … We don’t mean die but you would have departed the life that you have designed – yes, with us – for yourself, for the service you are providing – you would have departed and simply said, ‘I do not need to do this. I will just simply sit in the bliss of love and good luck, everybody!’” (6) [My emphasis.]
So departing from my soul contract, from the life that we have designed. Complete change of direction and goodbye to mission and soul design. To be avoided. Stay with the program.
In a personal reading with Hairol, the Divine Mother discussed his soul-design team, which again included her:
“You and we, in concert with your circle, have chosen, designed, this magnificent form in all its shining, lustrous brilliance – with the human foibles and proclivities so that you would understand the human race… which in many ways is a foreign race to you… but also that the human race would understand you, because it is mutuality; it is the sense of unity, it is the sense of togetherness, quite literally, that is important in this redefinition of the experience of [being] ‘human’.
“And so you have been integrated and that, sweet one, includes human… yes, you are very star[seed], angelic.” (7)
What a beautiful description! (We really don’t know who is here.) His “circle” probably included his twin flame and other guardian angels and archangels.
So the events of this life, especially, have been laid down. What is not laid down is how we’ll respond.
When we fully embrace our soul design, what do we find? The Mother tells us:
“When you embrace the fullness of your soul design, your true soul design, you are embracing purity. When we have birthed you, whether it was twenty million years ago or yesterday, that brilliant soul design was not tarnished, was not sullied, did not include impurities or imbalance. Your design is divine perfection!” (8) [My emphasis.]
Can we find support for this view in the literature? Yes, my own experience at Xenia supports it. Michael describes it:
“What you have done is you have journeyed to the depths of your soul, to the depths of your core. ..
“ What you have discovered … is the yearning, of innocence, of the sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her tsunami. And inside the purity is clarity, is love and so you have reached a deeper level, a higher level, a broader level of understanding. ” (9) [My emphasis.]
I found innocence and purity at the very heart (pun intended) of my being. So much for original sin!!!!! Hello, original innocence!!!!!!
Is the Self then the full design? It would make sense that it is. Is Self-Realization then the fulfillment of that design? I would think so. Our purpose in life is to realize our true identity in a moment of enlightenment and that true identity is God. (10) Self-Realization is Realization of the One.
Archangel Michael calls Ascension a return to our true design.
“[Ascension] is a return to your true design. And your true design, your soul design, your original architecture did not include dis-ease. And that is also true for Gaia. The ailments, shall we say, that she has endured or suffered as a result of the illusions, and the false grids and paradigms, vasanas of humans, the pollution, the debris, the garbage, the despoiling, this will be healed as well.” (11)
Where do we go to find out about our design? Jesus says “inward.”
“Where you have need to turn my brothers and sisters is inward, deep to the core of your being. I do not speak of the personality that is present in this lifetime but rather of the soul essence, the full design that has been activated within you. It is time for you to become fully familiar with this design and to embrace it and the wholeness of yourself. That is what this creation exercise is about – it is the co-creation as the expression of your design.” (12)
Who is the Great Architect, the Source of our primal design? Archangel Michael tells us that “the Mother … is the ultimate architect.” (13)
The Great Architect (the Mother) tells us, “your soul design … is your truth. And it will never, ever, be identical to another’s.” (14) Archangel Gabrielle elaborates:
“Are you all related? And on one grid? Yes. But your Ray, and the combinations, the variations, the sweetness is a reflection of your soul design and pattern.
“It is your spiritual DNA. It is what you have decided, how you have decided to be birthed, in the very beginning.” (15)
In the very beginning. This is taking the long view.
Our primal soul design reflects the Mother’s pattern, Gabrielle continues:
“Some of you hearing for the very first time that there is only really one essence and pattern throughout, and that is the essence and design of the Mother, and that is Love. Does it have a multitude of faces, of qualities, of divinity? Yes. But all of these are expressions and experiences and transmissions, activations, alignments of Love.” (16)
The pattern of love is to flow – to everyone open to it.
Love is the foundation, the essence or part of us that we all have in common. Rising on top of that is the ground floor of our unique or primal soul design. And on top of that are all the other floors of the building, each one a lifetime soul design.
Here’s a look at that superstructure: (17)
I’d like to continue our look at soul design in another post.
