Hi Anthony - I have performed this same exercise and its a fascinating exploration... all these types of explorations only assist one in an overall mind expansion. Now, I don't know if any particular exercise happens to be the TRUE reality... I see these explorations as part of the overall set of possibilities which at one level exist and at another level don't exist at all (and then everything in between).
The coolest one I have been on lately is based on this -
from The Crypto Terrestrials – Mac Tonnies – Page 32
“Physicist David Deutsch, for instance, advocates the still controversial Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum theory, in which our universe bifurcates each time a sub atomic event’s wave function “collapses.” Taken to its dizzying extreme, the MWI allows for a near endless pageant of universes to encompass all conceivable outcomes.”
With the above in mind, I considered that a soul is the "actual me" within all the vast possibilities that are all existing within the single now moment. Which possibility I experience is simply a choice I make in each and every now moment at the soul level. Because "I" ("I" being what I reflect upon myself to be via my mind) is so greatly disconnected from my soul, I generally am at odds with my soul's decision as to where it wants to be and thus where "i" (my entire being) actually is within the vast realm of possibility is not where my soul wants to be. Where "i" actually am is a location determined by my mind, my spirit (my inner drive), and how I allow my bodies to effect those two components.
When I allow my components to integrate more completely, and because I have found I am far more comfortable following my intuition, which is heavily steered by where my soul wants to be, I find my experience to be with far less fear, to be incredibly dynamic and adventurous, I have massive amounts of good luck and I seem to piss off/make an impression on just about everyone I encounter (and this impression is generally perceived as negative by most folks that have not come to know me yet and/or are afraid to be free).
This is part of a larger theory I have (which is simply a metaphorical explanation as to how I see "reality").
That theory in simplistic terms is that... imagine all that is - is simply a sphere that has a theoretical and infinitesimally small center point. This point cannot exist in what we call real reality as how can it being infinitesimally small, so just imagine that point.
This point is "source." [EDIT some of the original post]
All "spirits" are creations emanating from this uncreated source, perfect, immortal and eternal. An individual's location is some point within the sphere (I call this the sphere of exploration) where a straight line can be drawn from the source point to where they "are" in this imaginary realm that is now a co creation of source and the collective of all spirit beings and their creations.
Theoretically if an individual spirit being is "whole" for an instant in time, where they think they are (where the "I" or "mind thinks it is) is where the spirit being actually is. For each and every moment a spirit being is in perfect unification with their spirit and mind, their soul (their individuality) is in its pure state of being. If the mind perceives itself to be somewhere other than where it's soul wants to be, the spirit and the mind perform a tug of war and wherever that special knot (the soul) on the rope in this tug of war is located within the sphere is the actual location of the soul. This is how I see our dynamic.
Where "bodies" fit in is what I call "realms of exploration" and a spirit being can inhabit any number of bodies simultaneously and usually do. How I see the sinking into physicality (some call this "the fall") is that it is simply a choice a collective of spirit beings took where they focused heavily on the physical body of all the possible body realms and then became so attached they then became vulnerable to the reincarnative complex. I believe it is possible for a spirit being to recover the knowledge of who/what they are such that upon death of the physical body, the being may be able to choose not to return to a physical body realm or choose not to return to this planet's experience and incarnate in a physical body somewhere else. It should also be possible to move through time such that the spirit being could incarnate in the past or future (as viewed by a collective that is anchored in a specific space/time).
Anyways, I am sure some spirit beings that are incarnated in physical bodies here on earth at this time are capable of exploring the other available realms as well as other locations within space/time where they can return to their body and this time they posses here on earth.
I can't do this but I believe it should be possible and I believe folks who say they can bi-locate (is this astral travel?) can do so... some getting quite good at it.
Anyways, I am pretty sure that for a being to become "completed" where their spirit, mind and all their bodies become whole within their soul vehicle may then be able to choose to return to source and end their experience but I wouldn't want to because to me, the experience is super cool fun... with the exception of being part of a greater collective that is involved in idiocies such as animal/human sacrifice and ritual abuse but hey... gotta face the reality that we are all given free will.
This reminds me of what Aleister Crowley said...
"There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
Love is the law, love under will."
I looked at it carefully as there seemed to be something about it that seemed "right on" (because of the allusion to freedom) but yet completely off (because it was freedom without any moral restraint)... and then I came up with it and reworded what he said for myself (not recommending anyone else consider this... its just what I try and live by).
Love is the law, will under Love.
Anyways... just another "theory O' the day" from justoneman
EDIT - "special message" to Al wherever you are... see my post number, bro? 981...
9 + (9 x 9)... "just a coincidence, nothing to worry about, mate" hahaha
EDIT again: Ohhh and one more for you, Al... if you consider the placement of each letter in the name. "horus" as to where each letter numerically falls within the English language alphabet, horus = 81. (Again, that was just for Al, wherever he be).
