Submitting Questions to "In the Now"

[dwmarsh]

Every other week, the home crew of L/L Research gathers to discuss spiritual topics on our bi-weekly podcast, "In the Now." The panel consists of Jim McCarty, scribe of the Ra Contact and president of L/L Research; Gary Bean, administrator of L/L Research; and Austin Bridges, administrative assistant of L/L Research - each a spiritual seeker and devoted student of the Law of One.

Episodes will be published on Wednesday afternoons on the L/L Research website's "Podcast" page (http://llresearch.org/podcast).

Please submit a question or topic for us to discuss in two ways:

1) You can reply to this post and submit your question to this thread. We will collect them before each show and ask them in the order that they are received.

2) You can send us a question via email at contact(at)llresearch(dot)org. You can specify if you prefer to remain anonymous.

When submitting questions, please remember that this is a Law of One podcast. Try to keep your questions as spiritually oriented as possible. In general, the responses will be spiritually oriented in nature, often utilizing information taken from the channeled material L/L Research has produced over the last 35+ years.

Hi Austin--

In his book “Soulcraft,” Bill Plotkin defines “soul” as “the vital, mysterious, and wild core of our individual selves, as essence unique to each person, qualities found in layers of the self much deeper than our personalities.” He defines “spirit” as the “single, great and eternal mystery that permeates and animates everything in the universe and yet transcends all.” Plotkin argues that a fully developed person needs to journey in both directions, downward toward the darkness of soul, and upwards toward the light of spirit. He says, “soul is ultimately an agent for spirit.”

RA refers to 3D humans as body/mind/spirit complexes, but I am not aware that Ra mentions “soul” or its place in the cosmology of human spiritual evolution. It appears, however, that Ra does contemplate something like Plotkin’s concept of a soul, given Ra’s teachings of the basic function of free will, choice and catalyst in an individual human’s 3D incarnation.

Can you comment on the role of “soul” in the Law of One?

thanks,
