I think of a book called "The Secret Life of Plants." I was
delighted to see it featured as number one on an Amazon.com reviewer's list.
It was about the only book I had read of the 50 some books he listed as
"must read" books.
Anyway, the message of this book is that plants are able to communicate and
feel -- no only one with another, but with all life. The author had placed lie
detector probes on the leaves of the plant and was thereby able to pick up its
"vibrations." The plant was very clearly responding to what was
happening, not just in the same room, but unlimited by distance. As the plant
and the author developed a communicative rapport, the plant would pick up on
the author's emotions wherever he was traveling. For example, when he was
landing in an airplane a continent away one time -- something which frightened
him -- at the very same moment, the plant registered his fear.
The second book mentioned on this "must read" list is one I've
not read yet, but the title alone tells the message: "The secret life of
cells." Apparently, the cells of the body communicate one with another in
a similar fashion.
My dad's work with a new Unified Field Theory (www.allanstime.com) will
provide a "scientific" explanation of a fifth field -- the spiritual
dimension -- and how it interacts with the physical.
The reason I mention this is that I believe that "soul
communication" is happening on this level, not on a conscious level
necessarily.
So in my opinion, the answer to the question of how we nurture soul
communication has to do with learning to be more sensitive with our intuitive
selves, with our spirit.
My step-father-in-law (Susan's husband) has a gift for receiving Soul
revelation. He gets these downloads of spiritual information but has a dickens
of a time communicating in words what it is he has received. It takes him
weeks and months to find words. One download that he has been able to put into
words, which I have posted to my website, touches people's souls. It is called
"Why I believe in Santa Clause." Though Christmas is a couple of
weeks behind us, his page continues to be in the top ten on my site for the
number of visitors it is receiving. www.greaterthings.com/Susan/Santa.htm
I believe that when a person speaks by the Spirit of God, which is a
hallmark of true teachers commissioned of heaven, that they speak on a soul
level, and those who receive in the Spirit of God receive the communication on
a very pure level for they are in tune with that same spirit, and the words
are no longer a hampering factor. The more that communication can happen on
this level, the more pure it will be.
I see J.J. as one who very often speaks/writes in the Spirit of God. My
soul resonates when I read his stuff (most of the time). I would hope that the
same could be said of the things I write, though I'm sure the "most of
the time" caveat would need to be applied in my case as well. The
"most of the time" factor is part of our being human.
It is the "human" element, the natural man element, that
therefore stands in the way and needs to be overcome (not trashed, but
overcome -- gained synergistic mastery over) in order for pure soul
communication to take place. And here is where the teachings of religions come
into play -- how to overcome or master the flesh with it's pride, its base
passions, its ego, its noise. That is why some of the most profound visions
recorded in scripture (e.g. Nephi) are given "whether in the body or out
of the body I know not" or when "I was carried away in the
spirit."
Again, I do not believe that this implies that the body is an enemy to soul
communication and spirituality, for when it is truly mastered, then it becomes
a pure vessel. "Body and Spirit combined make a fullness of joy."
(In fact, Joseph Smith teaches that the soul is by definition body and
spirit.) This, I would conjecture, is the "final" resurrection of
which J.J. speaks, which takes place at the end of the 1000 incarnations.
