What is the soul and how may I approach it?

[Diana]

For many years I've been inching my way along like everyone else on a deliberate spiritual journey.  Much of that time was spent exploring conceptual models, clearing feeling and thought patterns which detoured my energy, and also delving into some of the weirder high frequency connections I just happened to have some connection with.  So, I was shoveling out crap from my lower centers, entertaining my mental apparatus and getting snippets of intimations from The Great Beyond, however, these elements were not coherently integrated.  Therefore, my capacity to be of any real service was significantly curtailed because...well...I could compare it to an automobile where the wires and hoses and all that are just not hooked together properly.  It will move around a bit, but I you wouldn't feel safe taking it out into traffic.

I will disagree a bit with you here, because I see great value in this part of the process regarding being of service to others.

Take a so-called enlightened guru of some sort. This guru would presumably be spiritually a well-oiled machine, in service to others. But that kind of service is mostly there to follow (from the average standpoint) as though there is a huge gap between the guru and others who aspire to be like her/him.

But you, as a motivated person in 3D, perhaps stumbling along the path, offer the example of something at once relatable and of extreme value—the desire to better yourself, to grow, to reach for that which is beyond, to seek oneness with the all. As an average person, this view of someone like you, in my opinion, is more motivating and inspiring than an established guru. And, gurus, whether they seek it or not, have to contend with accumulating followers, which is in conflict with individuals thinking for themselves and working out the mysteries for themselves.
