Iāve kinda thought of the soul as yes, the immortal part of you, but also as the mind and awareness in a way. Btw. I have also started a thread about soul and spirit recently in general discussion. Iād be happy to hear your thoughts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you have more information about the process or intent, please share here what that might entail.Ā With pleasure. Ā In the prior week, we had the honour to be visited by another gem: HG Navina Nirada Prabhu. It truly is something about this people, something about them that is just... super human. Divine, almost. For instance, he refferenced thoughts I have had and topics of conversation Ive participated in very cleary, and said straight out that one can develop the posibility to read minds.Ā During the lecture, he said that what got him curious about Krishna conciousness, was the teaching of "we are not our bodies." After that, he asked me for how long Ive been on a spiritual hourneyĀ counciouslyĀ and than simply said "5" out of nowhere. I answered something about the lines of: "You mentioned five... thats about when the concious mind useally enters for most people, isnt it?" "exactly," he said, smiling. Quite relevant to the chat we had about the mind/intellect and so on in the "what actions brings us closer to the LIGHT," if you recall? At the end, I asked him for some advice. He simply said Ā«follow your heartĀ» ā¤ļøāš„š I also asked one of the teacher who told me this, what he meant. Below are the exchange of texts. Me:Ā I think you told me a few months ago go, that I would very soon leave my body, while remain as me in this universe. Did I understand you correctly? If so could, could you clarify what you meant by that? Prabhu:Ā Did I? Point is our lives are very short and uncertain. Nobody knows when will be our last moment in this body. So if we want to stop this cycle of birth and death then, Always remember Krishna and NeverĀ forgetĀ Krishna. Me: But the way you said it, was as if I would leave my body but still be alive. Perhaps Iām mistaken. And yes, always remember Krishna. At times I get a little ashamed tho, to chant, when I feel like my behavior is to dishonorable to be contacting the deities. Prabhu:Ā The soul never dies. The subtle body made of mind, intelligence and false ego carry the soul at the time of death to a new body based on what we are thinking at the last moment. He then immediatley sent me a video, where the speaker said that "these instructions you recieve at the time of initiation, you should be very carefull to follow these your whole life." The speaker continued to talk about, among other things, the importance to follow the rules of your ashram as well as spreading Krishna conciousness."
