11/26/24: Soul Compass and Martial Arts

SamK: Hi Michael! For my entire life, I've felt a very powerful emotional resonance with stories of redemption and forgiveness, both fictional and real. I feel a particular sort of identification with individuals and characters who are trying to reform themselves, earn others' forgiveness, forgive themselves,  etc.  This is odd to me, because I can think of nothing in this life that would trigger such a strong response. Is this linked to particular events in one or more of my past lives? 

MEntity: 

What you describe is what we could refer to as the SOUL COMPASS. There are 12 universal themes that will be experienced by all fragments in some way across their lifetimes. These are 12 "compass" directions that are programmed, if you will, into the structure of Sentience so that they are covered from billions of angles and perspectives. They are something similar to Monads and are often part of Monads, but they are different. Not all Monads will be experienced all fragments, but every fragment will experience all directions of a Soul Compass at some point.This Compass consists of 12 directions:

REDEMPTION/FORGIVENESS

LOVE/CONNECTION

COURAGE/RESILIENCE

BELONGING/UNITY

LOSS/RENEWAL

POSSIBILITY/CREATION

JUSTICE/TRUTH

FREEDOM/POWER

WISDOM/GROWTH

MYSTERY/DISCOVERY

HEALING/WHOLENESS

SURRENDER/LEGACY 

Every fragment will tend toward one of these in any given lifetime. In past lives, your compass may take you directly into the experience of one of these themes, but in modern lives, one's compass can take one to sources that explore the themes but without consuming the life. In the past, this could be done through stories, and now they can be explored in film, tv, stories, audio, social media, etc.What one finds as a strong compass in the life is still relevant to processes in the life, even if it is not always obvious.

Being drawn to a compass direction is not always past life related, but is often related to current processes. If your Compass is Redemption/Forgiveness, there may be subconscious guilt being processed, or there may be a desire to understand those who harm and how better to transcend that harm, etc. This is something that could be explored over time with this new context.

SamK: Fascinating, I'll have to take some time to consider my emotions through this new lens 

MEntity: Do you have further questions?

SamK: If there's time, I would also like to ask about martial arts. Specifically, is this an activity that continues being practiced beyond the Physical? I'm an avid martial artist, and I'd like nothing more than to continue training even when this body gives out.

MEntity: 

Many disciplines that are practiced in the Physical continue or originated in the Astral. Though there are physical expressions of many disciplines, the core tends to be Emotional and Intellectual. In the Astral, it is quite common for physical forms to be created for added dimension but they are not as dense as the materials used in the actual Physical Plane.

Many "over the top" expressions of several fighting disciplines are quite accurate to how they are played out in the Astral. For example, such martial arts as those seen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. With different physics in the Astral, many disciplines given expression in Physical form in the Physical Plane are even more expressive in the Astral.We think you will enjoy this.

SamK: No doubt!

MEntity: We must conclude here for today. Good day to you, Sam. Goodbye, for now.

SamK: Thank you Michael!
