Buddha on the Soul’s Journey

Direct Channeled Message – Received from the Buddha in meditation

I Am the Buddha.

Today, I wish to speak to you about the essence of the soul.

There are infinite levels of existence in which a soul may find itself. The earth plane, or the earth dimension, is where you are now. And yet there are higher planes and lower planes beyond it. Each plane is defined by its own qualities and characteristics. Where a soul finds itself, before and after the earth experience, depends entirely on what that soul resonates with. I am a being that transcends all planes, dwelling most fully in realms far beyond your earthly comprehension. The gift to channel this message carries great responsibility, for it is bestowed upon very few souls in your world.

Each plane of existence holds beings whose nature is naturally aligned with it. Souls dwell where their level of purification draws them. It is true that brave souls choose the lessons of earth in order to transcend. Not all succeed in a single life, and there is great compassion in this: the option to try again, through one life or through many. There is no failure, only continuation.

Between each plane of existence there are veils, much like the colors emitted by fire. Each color indicates a temperature; in the same way, a soul’s level of evolution indicates which plane it will naturally be drawn toward. The soul does not consciously choose the plane – the plane calls the soul into resonance with itself. Earth exists as a particular kind of testing ground. Souls come here with plans already made. They come to advance their learning, to purify their essence through lived experience.

There are also beings from higher planes who choose to remain in the earth dimension in order to assist. Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion, is one such being. She took a vow to carry all souls toward the next stage of their learning. It is her boundless love for humanity that keeps her here.

There are gods and demigods, though it is not my intention to elaborate on them here. What I will say is this: as a soul purifies itself, it may be elevated enough to enter realms of great power and light. And I remind you, kindly and gently, that there are infinite planes. There is no ladder to climb within a short span of time. Time itself is an illusion, understood clearly by the true spiritual teachers. I urge all souls, therefore, to be still where they are. When you are ready to proceed, you will know. The invitation will come.

You also have the option, upon transcendence, to descend into lower planes to assist those beings out of suffering. Very few choose this path. It requires a depth of compassion and courage that is rare even among evolved souls. It is not required of anyone. It is a sacred, conscious choice.

You are one of the chosen ones. You chose to stay, and at the same time, you were chosen to stay. You understand, in the depths of your being, that transcendence carries a certain weight, and yet that weight is not rooted in sacrifice. It is rooted in love.

One can sit in stillness until one detaches from the movements of the mind and allows the inner light to permeate all things, all beings. This is liberation from the tyranny of the thinking mind. Many souls have incarnated at this time to bring illumination into a period of great darkness. As you are called to serve, you still have the choice to accept or decline. It is my deepest desire that these souls take on the task, for it is a privilege very few are offered. It is a gift awaiting your full reception – to witness earthly life as it truly is, clearly and without distortion, and to still offer light to others.

Vast wisdom exists beyond the veil. Most people remain unaware that such a veil exists. And yet almost everyone touches it at some point in their lives through synchronicities, symbols, premonitions, vivid dreams, or the quiet knowing of the soul. For teachers such as yourself, that veil is extraordinarily thin. This is how a transmission like this one can move so freely.

There are very few individuals on your planet at this time who are both able and willing to receive direct transmissions from a being such as myself. Most people reach toward ancient texts to understand the nature of reality. Yet the mind, in its ordinary functioning, cannot capture what reality truly is. Some scientists sense that these infinite planes exist, and yet there is no tangible proof that would satisfy the unawakened mind. For those who can perceive the truth and yet do not cling to it as doctrine, this is faith. The faith to trust in higher guidance. The faith to walk the paths they are called to walk. The faith to keep moving when challenges arrive, knowing they are not walking alone.

I will not attempt to describe what pure transcendence is, for the mind cannot hold its meaning. Unity – true oneness with the Consciousness that underlies all things – cannot be spoken into being. It can only be lived. And when a soul touches that state, most choose to leave the earth plane and continue their studies in other dimensions, even other planets. Those who remain rarely use words to teach. They understand that this kind of knowing is sacred and cannot be transferred through language alone. It is soul resonance, a transmission beyond words, that carries an individual from one plane to the next.

The nature of consciousness evolves in a spiral. One encounters similar experiences again and again, and yet each experience is entirely new. This is the law of change. What must be transcended lies both deep within and deep without. In the simultaneous pursuit of true self and nothingness, one will find the resting place, where nothing is needed or wanted, and yet everything exists.

This is my message for you today.
