The Soul Template and Your Calling
The Soul Template and Your Calling
Soul Issues
Soul Issues reflect Karmic Issues. They are the habits of
the soul. Inevitably they centre upon the appropriate
expression of power, because this is a prime theme of the
Human Oversoul. When the soul is balanced, and the
Sage has come to the fore of the personality, power is
expressed in ways which enhance the development of self
and humanity. The individual learns to align its personal
intention with the higher self and cosmic intention. The
need to go into power and control over others and life
situations is greatly reduced.
There are three common positions which people tend to
take when they feel disempowered, and I call this
archetypal situation the Karmic Triangle. These positions
are the victim, rescuer, and the persecutor. Although it
may not appear so at first glance, all are attempts at
gaining power and control, albeit misguided attempts. The
victim feels powerless to direct his life, or is too frightened

there is a general life plan of the people you will meet and
interact with over the course of the upcoming lifetime.
The Integrated Recognition of INI informs us, albeit at a
subtle level, when we bump into karmic friends and foes.
The Sage’s greater level of integrated intelligence often
allows him to feel the depth of such connections.
The same stories tend to get repeated in some form
over several lifetimes, until you transcend that energy
pattern. As you transcend your Soul Issues, so you will
tend to alleviate your karma. However there may be some
requirement for you to feel the emotions you helped
generate in others, and energy that you have created
within the human collective energy field. How this is
expressed will vary. Sometimes it may simply occur
through a spontaneous visionary experience of great
intensity. Other times it may require a physical incident,
or even a lifetime or more of experiencing equivalent
situations which allow you to fully experience the energy
involved.
Soul Aptitudes
Soul Aptitudes are the particular physical and mental
abilities that we have an ability and passion for
expressing. These are our gifts. They are determined, in
part, by physical attributes, including genetics. However
they are also influenced by general abilities and habits
acquired in past lifetimes. If you have played a stringed
instrument in a previous life, then you will tend to pick it
up more easily in this lifetime.
I believe that we all have a brilliance which we are
meant to express. However, simply because you are really
good at something, does not mean that you should turn it
into a career. It would be a mistake to think that simply
because you are good at playing cards that you should
become a professional gambler. Sometimes it is simply
not practical to turn an aptitude into a job. The key to
distinguishing Soul Aptitudes from simple skills and
abilities is to follow your excitement. It is The Feeling
Sense that will alert you. Your aptitudes behind your soul
calling will generate an excitement within you. That’s the
note to listen for.
Remember my story from the prelude, where my
excitement hit high fever in a lecture by Ron Laura at the
University of Newcastle? I never forgot that moment, and I
let it direct me forward. Because I didn’t have the
understanding that I have now, I slipped off the path a
few times, but I always returned.
Before each life there are certain goals that your soul
seeks to achieve. Mostly, these are related to Soul Issues
and karma, while your Soul Aptitudes come into play as
you express your brilliance. Ultimately all this comes
down to the expression of power: its use, abuse, and the
Spirit’s requirement that we learn to use it responsibly.
There is no such thing as a concrete life purpose, as in
the idea of destiny. Once you get that out of your system,
you are free to go about expressing your life in a way that
resonates with your Spirit, and is in alignment with your
Soul Template. To that extent, you are free – within the
bounds of the evolution of the Human Oversoul and the
cosmos we live within.
