The essential nature of being is two-fold: one develops as one does in accordance with the divine plan, and this plan includes the free will of the one being developed. How to recognize the essentials vs. the non-essentials is easy with a few points of measurement, as follows:
1. When identified rightly, the thought, feeling, or action brings harmony over conflict.
2. Every person is seen as essentially equal, removing all power struggles.
3. The motion of energy is from the above and flows downward into the vehicles of expression (not the other way around).
Soul Identified is a spiritual experience where one realizes the essential unity of all God's creation. It's easier to discern when thought of in modern-day concepts and taken inwardly for comparison and contrast. One might ask the important question, "What am I identifying with? Is it of an essential nature from the soul, or is this a personality non-essential?" Of course, most people don't go around asking themselves these questions. In fact, no one has ever told me that they were engaged in 'personality non-essentials,' which was the root of the problem. However, people do speak to these very ideas by demonstrating ability. The following is a list of non-essentials people often demonstrate:
1. I've run out of time.
2. You did this to me.
3. I don't know.
From the soul's perspective, the essential unity of consciousness is experienced: timelessness becomes a real and identifiable experience; a person's responsibility for all that occurs in one's life stands revealed; and knowing how to answer the hard problems becomes more obvious. In order to transmute the energy behind the limited expressions listed above, let's look at these same qualities from a soul-identified angle:
1. I have plenty of time; I create and employ time.
2. Nothing occurred outside me. I remember working with the inner causes and getting to what lies behind these circumstances.
3. I have all the knowledge given to me; I simply ask and have it revealed through my meditation practice.
Once the distinctions between the soul's essential qualities and the personality's non-essentials are delineated and understood, it becomes possible to remain soul-identified in every thought, feeling, and activity.
