Soul Journey, Body as Container

Soul Journey, Body as Container: all soul experience exists within an infinite feedback loop which takes a different container with each physical life.



Question :

When a person passes, their energy returns to where they came from. So, does that same exact energy return to Earth? Or is there a way in which they’re new energy?

Cheryl: 

The short answer to the question is that it’s the same energy that comes but in this life, it has a new container, which could make it feel, at least in some perspectives, like brand new energy. 

In other words, what they’re saying is that soul energy is what comes and goes. And every time a soul manifests physically on the planet, it essentially, let’s say from a linear point of view, has a new container.

The physical body is the new container. And so that means that the soul energy expresses itself in a certain way based on that new physical container. So in one lifetime, you might be a human being and another lifetime you might be a wolf, but you still have that same origin soul energy that creates you. Not that the souls don’t expand and learn, but there is a way in which that energy is the same, because that energy is infinite and eternal.

And so, it shifts from lifetime to lifetime, but that idea right there, that phrase, lifetime to lifetime, is actually a linear expression. Because there’s definitely, from the soul’s point of view, a way that every manifestation of the soul is happening “at the same time” in the aspect of how time is infinite. 

So the motion of the soul in and out of physical reality is creating its own feedback loop. So what happens is, the soul comes to this lifetime and has an experience, and that learning and that energy is constantly returning to the origin from whence it came during the entire experience of that physical container. And in that back and forth, just like in any feedback loop, there’s information that’s going back and forth between, let’s just call this point A and point B, so it’s easier for our minds to get a hold of this, right? 

A is the soul, B is the container, and the soul becomes manifest within the container. The container has experience and sends the energy of that experience back to point A to the soul. Now the soul is A plus B, right? And then what the soul now sends back, because there’s always a connection there, what the soul sends back to the body at point B is now A plus B plus A plus B plus A plus B. That’s what learning is, right? The feedback loop is what learning is basically. 

But it’s also that when you are a human being and you go off and you have an experience and you come back from it, you’re going like, wow, that changed me. In that motion back and forth between A and B, between the soul and the body, that’s the experience of both the soul and the body. So, when the exchange is made, one side is wow, I’m the same, but I’m different.

And then the other side is I’m the same, but I’m different. And essentially, that’s how the energy of the soul expands over the entire experience of all of its physical manifestations.

In a sense, when a person passes and then comes back again and takes life, the soul’s not exactly the same in another life, but at the same time, there’s also a way in which all the lives exist in the same time, and so that feedback loop is happening between the soul and all of its physical experiences across every dimension, across the universe.

It can be a Martian over there, and it can be a lion over here, and it can be a medieval prince in another, right? It’s all connected. And it’s all involved in a feedback loop, an ebb and flow.
