How they appeared in stories about the soul. How does a person's soul appear?
Once upon a time there lived Little Soul, and she said to God:
- I know who I am!
And God said:
- This is wonderful! Who are you?
And the Little Soul shouted:
- I Am Light!
“That’s true,” God smiled. - You are the Light.
The Little Soul was terribly happy, because she found out what All the souls of the Kingdom had to figure out.
- ABOUT! - said Little Soul. - It's really cool!
But soon the knowledge of who she was seemed insufficient to her. Little Soul felt
internal discomfort, now she wanted to be what she is. So the Little Soul went back to God (which is not a bad idea at all for all the souls who want to know Who They Really Are) and said:
- Now that I know Who I Am, tell me, can I be this?
And God said:
- Are you saying that you want to be Who You Already Are?
“Well,” answered the Little Soul, “it’s one thing to know Who I Am, and quite another to actually be it.” I want to feel what it's like to be the Light!
“But you are already Light,” God repeated, smiling again.
- Yes, but I would like to know how it feels to feel like the Light! - exclaimed the Little Soul.
“Okay,” God said with a smile. “I suppose I should know: you’ve always loved adventure.”
And then God continued in a different way.
- There is only one detail...
- What is this? - asked Little Soul.
- You see, there is nothing other than Light. You see, I have not created anything different from you; and therefore it will not be so easy for you to know Who You Are as long as there is nothing that is not you.
“Hmm…” said Little Soul, who was now somewhat embarrassed.
“Think about it,” said God. - You are like a candle in the Sun. Oh, you are there, no doubt, along with the million, quadrillion other candles that make up the Sun. And the Sun would not be the Sun without you. No, it would be the sun without one of its candles. And it would not be the Sun at all, since it would no longer be as bright. And yet, how to know yourself as Light when you are inside the Light - that is the question.
“Well,” Little Soul jumped, “you are God.” Think of something!
God smiled again.
- I've already thought of it. Since you cannot see yourself as the Light, when you are within the Light, we will surround you with darkness.
- What is darkness? - asked the Little Soul.
God replied:
- This is something that is not you.
- Will I be afraid of the dark? - Little Soul screamed.
“Only if you choose to be afraid,” God answered. “There’s really nothing to be afraid of until you decide that it is.” You see, we make it all up. We are pretending.
“Oh, I already feel better,” said Little Soul.
God then explained that in order for anything to be fully experienced, something completely opposite must happen.
“This is the greatest gift,” said God, “because without it you cannot know what is what.” You cannot know what Heat is without Cold, Top without Bottom, Fast without Slow. You cannot know Left without Right, Here without There, Now without Then. And therefore, God concluded, when you are surrounded by darkness, do not shake your fist, do not shout, do not curse the darkness. Just remain the Light inside the darkness and don’t be angry with it. Then you will know Who You Really Are, and everyone else will know it too. Let your Light shine so that everyone knows how special you are.
- Do you think it's good to show others that I'm special? - asked Little Soul.
- Certainly! - God chuckled. - This is very good! But remember, “special” does not mean “best.” Everyone is special, everyone is their own in a unique way! Only many have forgotten about this. They will see that it is good for them to be special only when you understand that it is good to be special for yourself.
“Oh,” said Little Soul, dancing, jumping and laughing with joy. - I can be as special as I want to be!
“Yes, and you can start right now,” said God, who was dancing, jumping and laughing along with the Little Soul. -What part of the special do you want to be?
- Which part is special? - asked the Little Soul. - I don't understand.
“Well,” God explained, “to be Light is to be special, and to be special is to have a lot of special parts.” Especially to be kind. Especially to be gentle. Especially to be creative. Especially to be tolerant. Can you think of any other way to be special?
Little Soul was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed:
- I think of many ways to be special. Especially to be generous, especially to be able to be friends. Especially to sympathize with others!
- Yes! - God agreed. “And you can be all of those things, or any part of the special thing you want to be, at any moment.” This is what it means to be Light.
- I know what I want to be! - said Little Soul with great enthusiasm. - I want to be part of something special called “forgiveness.” Is it special to be forgiving?
“Oh, yes,” God confirmed. - It's very special.
“Okay,” said the Little Soul. - This is what I want to be. I want to be forgiving. I want to experience myself as a forgiver.
“Okay,” God said, “but there is one thing you need to know.”
Little Soul began to show slight impatience. This always happens when there are some difficulties.
- What is this? - exclaimed the Little Soul.
- There is no one who needs to be forgiven.
- Nobody? - Little Soul could hardly believe what she heard.
“No one,” God repeated. - Everything I created is perfect. Among all created things there is not a single soul less perfect than you. Look around!
And then Little Soul discovered that a huge crowd had gathered. Souls gathered from everywhere, from all over the Kingdom. The news spread throughout him that an extraordinary conversation was taking place between the Little Soul and God, and everyone wanted to listen to what they were talking about. Looking at the countless other souls gathered there, Little Soul was forced to agree. There was nothing less beautiful, less wonderful and perfect than the Little Soul herself. So amazing were the souls gathered around, so bright was the Light they emitted, that the Little Soul could hardly look at them.
-Who should we forgive then? - asked God.
- This is becoming not funny at all! - Little Soul grumbled. - I wanted to test myself as the One Who Forgives. I wanted to know what this part of the special felt like.
And Little Soul understood what it meant to feel sadness. But just at this time, a Friendly Soul stepped forward from the crowd.
“Don’t be sad, Little Soul,” said the Friendly Soul, “I will help you.”
- You? - brightened Little Soul. - But how will you do it?
- I can give you someone to forgive!
- You can?
- Of course! - Friendly Soul chirped. - I can come to your next incarnation and do something to you that you will have to forgive.
- But why? Why will you do this? - asked the Little Soul. - You, who are now in a state of absolute perfection! You, whose vibrations create such bright light that I can hardly look at you! What would make you want to lower your vibration to the point where your bright Light turns into thick darkness? What can make you, who is so bright that you can dance with the stars and move throughout the Kingdom at any speed you want, to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you can do bad things?
“Very simple,” said the Friendly Soul, “I will do this because I love you.”
Little Soul seemed surprised by this answer.
“Don’t be so amazed,” said the Friendly Soul. - You've already done a similar thing for me. Have you forgotten? Oh, we've danced with each other many times. We slid through eternity and through all centuries. Through all times and in many, many places we danced with each other. Do not you remember? We were both Everything From It. We were Up and Down from It, Left and Right from It. We were Here and There of This, Now and Then of This. We were male and female, good and evil. We were both the victim and the villain of It. So we have come together, you and I, many times before, each bringing to the other the exact and exact opposite, to express and experience Who We Really Are. And therefore,” the Friendly Soul explained a little later, “I will come to your next incarnation and this time I will be “bad.” I will do something truly terrible, and then you can experience yourself as the One Who Forgives.
- But what are you going to do that’s so terrible? - asked Little Soul, already a little nervous.
“Oh, we’ll figure something out,” Friendly Soul replied with a wink.
Then the Friendly Soul became serious and added in a low voice:
- You should know about one thing.
- What is this? - I wanted to know Little Soul.
“I will slow down my vibrations and become very heavy in order to do this not-so-pleasant thing.” I will have to become something very different from myself. And in return I will ask only one good deed from you.
- Oh, whatever, whatever! - Little Soul shouted and began to dance and sing. - I will become forgiving, I will be forgiving!
Then the Little Soul saw that the Friendly Soul remained very quiet as before.
- What is this? - asked the Little Soul. - What can I do for you? You are just an angel of goodwill for doing this for me!
- Of course, this Friendly Soul is an angel! - God intervened. - Everyone is an angel! Always remember: I am not sending you anyone but angels.
And then the Little Soul wanted even more to give a return gift to the Friendly Soul, and she asked again:
- What can I do for you?
At that moment when I will torture you and beat you, at that moment when I will do the worst thing to you that you can imagine, at this very moment...
- What? - Little Soul couldn’t stand it. - What?
The Friendly Soul became even quieter and calmer:
- Remember Who I Really Am.
- Oh, I will remember! I promise! - exclaimed the Little Soul. - I will always remember how I saw you here, right now!
“Okay,” said the Friendly Soul, “because, you see, I’ll pretend so hard that I’ll forget myself.” And if you don't remember who I really am, I won't be able to remember it for a long, long time. And if I forget Who I Am, you might forget Who You Are, and we'll both be lost. Then we will need another soul to come to remind us both of Who We Are.
“No, no, we won’t forget,” Little Soul promised again. - I will remember you! And I will be grateful to you for this gift - a chance to experience myself, Who I Am.
So, an agreement was reached. AND Little Soul went into a new incarnation to become part of something special, whose name is “Forgiveness.” And the Little Soul was excitedly awaiting the opportunity to test itself as a Forgiver, and to thank any other soul who made this possible. And at any point in time in this new incarnation, whenever a new soul appears on the scene, whatever this new soul brings, joy or sadness, and especially if it brings sadness - the Little Soul thinks about what God said:
- Always remember, I am not sending you anyone but angels.

Where does the soul come from before birth - descends from heaven to earth? Where was she before birth, appearance in man?
Hegumen Ambrose (Ermakov) answers:
The question of the origin of the human soul has not been definitively answered by the Word of God. As St. Cyril of Alexandria says, this is “a mystery known to God alone.” The Church does not offer us a strictly defined teaching on this subject. Therefore, we can talk about the origin of souls on the basis of theological opinions and the attitude of the Church to these opinions. One of central places in Origen's dogmatic system there was a doctrine of pre-existence human souls. Origen inherited this view from the philosophy of Plato. We will not dwell in detail on the content of this teaching, we will only say that it: a) contradicts the teaching of Holy Scripture about the consequences of the sin of our ancestors, b) is not capable of explaining the fact of the incarnation, c) is associated with the doctrine of universal restoration condemned by the Church. In the middle of the 6th century, Origen's teachings were condemned by the Church. There is an opinion that God created every soul from nothing. (Hieromartyr Irenaeus of Lyons, Saint Ephraim the Syrian, Blessed Theodoret, Saint John Chrysostom, etc.). Some saints talk about the creation of the soul together with the body, others about the creation of the soul on the 40th day after conception. Weak side This opinion is that it does not explain the transfer of Adam's sinful corruption to the entire human race, nor how children inherit the qualities of their parents. There is another opinion about the birth of human souls from the souls of parents. (Tertullian, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Macarius the Great and others). This theological opinion also does not answer all questions. For example, the soul comes from the soul of the father, mother or both parents; Nor does it explain the cases of striking dissimilarity between children and parents. After the V Ecumenical Council, the opinion about the creation of human souls began to prevail; later, the doctrine of the birth of souls became more widespread. Both of these opinions complement each other.
The laws of the spiritual world are not known to us. We can only assume that a person receives a soul from his parents, but a person becomes a person, unique and unrepeatable, as a result of a special Divine influence.
One of the most famous works Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol’s poem “Dead Souls” is considered to be. The author worked meticulously on this work about the adventures of a middle-aged adventurer for 17 long years. The history of the creation of Gogol’s “Dead Souls” is truly interesting. Work on the poem began in 1835. Dead Souls was originally conceived as comic work, but the plot kept getting more complicated. Gogol wanted to display the entire Russian soul with its inherent vices and virtues, and the conceived three-part structure was supposed to refer readers to “ Divine Comedy» Dante.
It is known that the plot of the poem was suggested to Gogol by Pushkin. Alexander Sergeevich briefly outlined the story of enterprising person, who sold dead souls to the guardianship council, for which he received a lot of money. Gogol wrote in his diary: “Pushkin found that such a plot of Dead Souls was good for me because it gave me complete freedom to travel all over Russia with the hero and bring out many different characters.” By the way, in those days this story was not the only one. Heroes like Chichikov were constantly talked about, so we can say that Gogol reflected reality in his work. Gogol considered Pushkin to be his mentor in matters of writing, so he read the first chapters of the work to him, expecting that the plot would make Pushkin laugh. However great poet was darker than a cloud - Russia was too hopeless.
The creative story of Gogol’s “Dead Souls” could have ended at this point, but the writer enthusiastically made edits, trying to remove the painful impression and adding comical moments. Subsequently, Gogol read the work in the Askakov family, the head of which was the famous theater critic and public figure. The poem was highly appreciated. Zhukovsky was also familiar with the work, and Gogol made changes several times in accordance with Vasily Andreevich’s suggestions. At the end of 1836, Gogol wrote to Zhukovsky: “I redid everything I started again, thought over the whole plan and now I am writing it calmly, like a chronicle... If I complete this creation the way it needs to be done, then... how huge, what original story!.. All Rus' will appear in it!” Nikolai Vasilyevich tried in every possible way to show all sides of Russian life, and not just the negative, as was the case in the first editions.
Nikolai Vasilyevich wrote the first chapters in Russia. But in 1837 Gogol left for Italy, where he continued to work on the text. The manuscript went through several revisions, many scenes were deleted and redone, and the author had to make concessions in order for the work to be published. Censorship could not allow “The Tale of Captain Kopeikin” to be published, since it satirically depicted the life of the capital: high prices, the arbitrariness of the tsar and the ruling elite, abuse of power. Gogol did not want to remove the story of Captain Kopeikin, so he had to “extinguish” the satirical motives. The author considered this part to be one of the best in the poem, which was easier to redo than to remove altogether.
Who would have thought that the history of the creation of the poem “Dead Souls” is full of intrigue! In 1841, the manuscript was ready for printing, but censorship in last moment changed her mind. Gogol was depressed. In upset feelings, he writes to Belinsky, who agrees to help with the publication of the book. After a while, the decision was made in Gogol’s favor, but he was given a new condition: to change the title from “Dead Souls” to “The Adventures of Chichikov, or Dead Souls.” This was done in order to distract potential readers from relevant social problems, focusing on the adventures of the main character.
In the spring of 1842, the poem was published; this event caused fierce controversy in the literary community. Gogol was accused of slander and hatred of Russia, but Belinsky came to the writer’s defense, highly appreciating the work.
Gogol again leaves abroad, where he continues to work on the second volume of Dead Souls. The work was even more difficult. The story of writing the second part is full of mental suffering and personal drama of the writer. By that time, Gogol felt an internal discord that he could not cope with. Reality did not coincide with the Christian ideals on which Nikolai Vasilyevich was raised, and this gap grew larger every day. In the second volume, the author wanted to portray heroes different from the characters in the first part - positive ones. And Chichikov had to undergo a certain rite of purification, taking the true path. Many drafts of the poem were destroyed by order of the author, but some parts were still preserved. Gogol believed that the second volume was completely devoid of life and truth; he doubted himself as an artist, hating the continuation of the poem.
Unfortunately, Gogol did not realize his original plan, but Dead Souls rightfully plays its very own role. important role in the history of Russian literature.
Work test
This theory was first voiced by the outstanding Christian theologian of the first centuries, Origen. Being an adherent of ancient philosophy, Origen tried to somewhat rework the teachings of Plato, Pythagoras and other ancient philosophers about the soul, putting a Christian meaning into the theory. Thus, Origen argued that God was originally a multitude of souls that were in contemplation of the Creator. Then, for some reason, the souls got tired of contemplating and deviated from it.
The most sinful souls became demons, and the least sinned - angels. And when man was created, souls of “average sinfulness” moved into him. This teaching was rejected by the Church in the 5th century as contradictory Holy Scripture. If we consider the sending of the soul into the body as punishment, then there would be no coming of Christ into the world. And sin itself appeared only with the Fall of people.
Theory of the creation of human souls
According to this, souls are created by God out of nothing for each individual person. In this case, the question arises about the time of creation of the soul. There are two opinions. The first is the moment of conception, the second is the fortieth day. The Church accepted the doctrine of the creation of the soul at the moment of conception. The advantages of this theory are that it shows the intangibility of the soul and explains its high dignity. Moreover, it can be explained different talents people, in accordance with the idea of the individual creation of souls by God for everyone. However, this theory also has . She does not explain the ways of sinfulness human nature. After all, if the soul is created by God every time out of nothing, then where does sin come from in it? Sin itself lies in the will, the soul, and not the body. There appears to be some discrepancy.
Theory of the birth of human souls
The theory appears in the 4th century simultaneously with a second look at human souls. Thus, it is assumed that the human soul is “born” from its own. Figuratively speaking, souls are born from one another, like fire from fire or light from light. But this theory also has disadvantages. Sometimes it is difficult to explain the qualitative differences between children and their parents. Or, for example, a person does not know from whom exactly the soul is born - from the soul of the mother or the father, or perhaps from both? Here we can say that this is unknown to a person to the extent of ignorance of the laws spiritual world established by God. the positive side can be called the transmission of the sinfulness of human nature from parents (original sin).
IN currently Since then, the Church has accepted theories about the creation of souls by God and the birth of the latter from parents. These opinions complement each other and provide a possible view of the essence of human souls. For a Christian, one should know that at the moment of the origin of the soul, a person is a co-worker with God. That is, it can be assumed that a person receives the spiritual nature of the soul from his parents, but people become a unique personality under the direct influence of God, who is able to endow a person with various talents.
How a person is born is no secret to us. How does it happen? the birth of new souls?
The riddle is very interesting. I would like to know the process itself - where it happens, who is involved in it, what birth looks like new soul.
It is curious whether souls are constantly being born, or whether once born, they are now only reincarnated.
It is also important: are the same souls born or does each new soul have special talents and unique abilities.
We set out to explore these questions in an additional lesson of the 13th stream of the Institute of Reincarnation.
How souls are born
Observations of memories, how souls are born, made it possible to identify several repeating scenarios.
Let me clarify right away for skeptics: the research was carried out in different time, with new people, but their descriptions largely coincided. These are the common ones storylines the birth of new souls and are collected in “scripts”.
In the first scenario, similar memory images were some small particles that were separated from a large creature.
Svetlana S: I remembered something big Living being, resembling a hydra from which soul balls bud. Heavenly Mother's name is Avatorii.
Each ball had its own color. Some were more intensely colored, while others had a less intense color. The color of the soul depends on the energies that the Heavenly Father initially lays down. And he takes energy from the worlds where these souls will have to incarnate.
The scattering balls rushed into spherical spaces where souls of their color gathered. My the soul was purple, and I joined the group of purple balls.
In total there were about ninety newborn souls. I saw how big hands they collected us into a kind of beads, then twisted us along an axis. In the process of movement, souls accumulated energies and began to glow from this.
Then a stream began, connecting to the cosmic mind. The mentors monitored the readiness of souls for the first incarnation by the intensity of the glow.
They began to divide us into smaller groups. Teachers visited the small group one by one, transferring important energies for knowledge, recharging and accumulation. Working with energies, the ability to anchor them in the place where it is necessary to stabilize space, turns out to be special the talent of my soul.
Svetlana Ch.: I saw my soul as a drop that separated from something big. As soon as I flew away, about ten to fifteen more droplets joined me, clinging to me from all sides. I remember the feeling of persistence, desire to get ahead- qualities that I observe in myself to this day.
Someone moves our group of droplets into a vessel, and the process of infusion of energies begins. I feel myself expanding from the energies of love and mercy filling me.
Olga T.: I saw a large clot of energy shimmering different colors. There was movement and swaying inside.
Balls of different colors stand out from it. I felt like one of the balls - light, playful. My soul shimmered purple-blue-green, and at the base there was a pearly-golden color.
The mentors accepted me and passed on the basics soul purpose– generate love, spread the energy of love.
Experiencing the white light
In the second version of stories about how souls are born, there were often images of white light and honeycombs, from which the formed energies of souls flew out.
My memory showed just such a process. A large space filled with white light, full of honeycomb pentagons.
In each cell boiling occurs at different intensities. When the seething reaches its peak, a soul ball bursts out of the honeycomb with a sharp explosion.
This ball is taken under the care of the Mentor and transferred, keeping it in his field. This process was revealed very clearly and in detail in Elena’s memoirs.
Elena B.: I see a bright space filled with a white glow. In this sparkling glow, you can feel some waves moving.
This is a living space, and everything in it breathes and moves. Space itself is like a sphere. There are observers outside the sphere.
There are small balls inside. They also sparkle, as if light is about to burst out in each of them. Some processes are taking place on the surface of the balls, flashes flash. Each ball is placed in a honeycomb.
The entire sphere is filled with pentagons that interlock with each other. But the space above the cells is open. There is a lot of traffic in the cells. In some it becomes stronger and stronger.
Here light comes out of one cell. This light is born soul. One cell opens, then a second, a third. And here is mine!
It has a soft purple glow. At first, the color breaks through with one ray, then it grows and now the whole ball-soul shines evenly purple glow.
From within, through the purple, it breaks through White light. Through it there is contact with the external living sphere. A ray of thread, like a connecting cable, joined the large field.
Contact has been established. The maternal sphere begins to respond by transferring knowledge and energy to the newborn soul. Bookmarking in progress soul files.
From within, observers send a stream Great love. The flow is so strong that the sphere has to hold it back, otherwise the soul balls will not be able to withstand it.
But this whole process is so gentle that the energies of love simply envelop every soul, fill and structure. Love becomes reflection of divine light, coming from inside each ball. Under its influence the soul opens up.
The colors of the soul balls are different. Some people are like a rainbow – the play of several colors. For some, one color predominates, for example, yellow. At the same time, there are few red balls. Glow is associated with purpose.
So my purple Connected with vibrations of higher energies. The main task is the ability to catch spirituality and lead him into the material world.
After the souls have collected the initial starting information and absorbed the necessary energy, the maternal sphere begins to thin out and disappear.
The swarm of young souls is left without care, but they are immediately embraced by the energies of the Mentors. Balls in groups are attracted to the Mentor with whom they match in color.
My group has as many as five Mentors. Each of them undergoes alternating attunement and obtaining information. The soul feels that it is expanding, becoming weightier, more structured.
One of the Mentors talks about the World of Souls. Explains the hierarchy and interaction of souls. Another introduces different worlds and spaces. Shows the geography of incarnations, tells where you can go and what kind of experience.
The last Mentor prepares for the first incarnation. It will be a warm place, not earthly, where souls learn to communicate.
Vortex energy
The last story of the birth of a soul can be said to be unique. In my observations, this is so far the only example of just such a scenario. All the more interesting is the experience that has opened up, where the source of the birth of the soul is the energy of the vortex.
Svetlana I. Two swirling energies in a dense vortex flow merged into one, the result was something like a blank. It was completely raw, heavy material that had to be developed further.
The mentor introduces some kind of impulse into him, sparkling star and the energy is revived. The workpiece glows, lightness appears, the glow becomes bright.
The soul receives life.
The mentor invites the soul to follow him, and I begin to move cautiously, carefully, looking around. I see a world like open space, dark, mysterious, in which life is felt.
I feel the closeness of the Mentor, I trust him as a parent. We arrived in a round illuminated hall. This is where we are met energy beings who welcome and rejoice at the addition of a newborn soul to their team.
I feel the warmth and joy of this space, I calm down. I understand that who is studying space and regulates and corrects processes if necessary.
Everything is under control here, higher energies monitor the emergence of new galaxies, new worlds. I have to learn this work.
What conclusions arise after studying the birth of new souls?
Firstly, the process itself takes place according to different scenarios, although there are not many of them and there are repeating plots.
Secondly, in all examples, the birth of a new soul is controlled by the Guides, who pick up the newborns and move them into a space where growth and learning take place.
Third, many remember the color of their soul at birth, which is associated with special talents, unique abilities and its purpose.
