Shapeless and infinite as your true Self is, you have come here at this time and place and narrowed your spiritual focus into this compact shell you call your body. Though many have told you throughout the years in multiple traditions and texts that you are not this body, you have persisted in experiencing yourself as this limited form. We assure you this has its purpose too; however, equally so, you must not limit your thoughts about yourself to remain so focused upon this lifetime.

Existence of your expanded beingness is truly continuous and expansive beyond your current time and space-bound awareness. Nothing that can be reported and verified by your limited senses and accumulated knowledge of yourself--as you've come to understand it--can begin to explain this truth. Even as you ponder these words, your "educated" mind tries to formulate and compare that which you've understood to this moment, you place limits on the very thing you wish to consider.

Mystics and gurus have expounded upon this idea of your expanded Self, but mind cannot know itself. You cannot trade-off the mind and understandings brought to you by another in order to reach a definitive  conclusion about truth. You slip out from the bounds of thought only after you have left this small self you have come to inhabit in this lifetime.

Yet, you reach out and ask for this clarification, so we attempt to approximate it for you here in words. In some ways, the senses you have come to trust to report reality back to you--for yourself and collectively, as a species, must be subverted. There is much truth to the statement that you must first know that you know nothing--turn off the stories that you told yourself and in that vacuum, you will begin to grasp the enormity of what is available to you.

You have come to define life as breathing and electrical responses coming from a body. We ask you to open up this definition to allow for a greater "life" that requires no body to contain it.  Once you have reached a level of acceptance, the continuity of existence--what you may call your immortal soul--can be contemplated.

Along the way, you will meet and interact with exactly you "need" to be with--your greatest challenges will be to let go of both good and bad experiences. The good, because you are designed to be pleasure-seekers; the bad, because you have a natural aversion to that. There will be wonderful, amazing--and brief--experiences which you wish would last for your entire lifetime. There will be tragic, painful--and long--experiences which you wish would never happen at all. If you understand that all these come and go from the experience of yourself in the physical time-bound awareness that you currently have for a reason, you will be happier.

Understand also that everything that has form is transitory; it is only in the formless expression of a greater existence which you are part of that has validity. In your world, there is a natural progression of things. This is not who you are; this is not your truth. We understand that this is beyond your beliefs--it is, has to be, an act of faith.

We ask much of you by asking for your faith. You can be that seed--the latent, but unexpressed essence of yourself.  It is the spark of the Divine; the drop-in-the-ocean which is the microcosm of your grander reality. Regardless of the appearance of the manifested body, old or young, that seed may remain in its latent, potential state without expressing itself. The Universe holds no resistance or judgment against you for remaining latent; you are always at-choice in this respect--at a Soul level. Neither is it your place to make this determination for any other Soul

For as you judge another, so you will be judged. This is in your Scriptures; however, the judgment does not come back to you from another--there is no "other." The only other there is to judge or be judged is within you. So, if you see something in this "other" that cries out for you to notice, recognize it for the mirror that it is.

Clarity will come to you naturally as you become accustomed to "seeing" and recognizing these mirrors reflecting those parts of yourself that are being called forth for re-integration. As you continue to re-integrate disparate parts of the "you" which yearns for itself, the Universe will open itself up to your growing awareness. All is perfection in beingness which you are now returning to--it is time and the Universe smiles as you return yourself back into the existence that you have merely been "out of step" with. Welcome back, You are all that there is, has been and will ever be. A-men.
