The Origins And Journey Of The Soul

Where do souls come from? Souls are created in a place I know as the Guf, or the ‘Tree of Souls.’ In Jewish mysticism this Tree of Life is located in the Garden of Eden. When this tree blossoms, it produces new souls.

This ‘Treasury of Souls’ is said to be located in the Seventh Heaven. I have seen this place in a dream vision. I could go up to the gold and emerald gates, but could not enter. It is my understanding that all souls are created here by God.

Souls in the Guf are in different stages of evolution. There are young souls and old souls – a diversity of spirit energies waiting to incarnate, reincarnate and ascend.

I can usually distinguish the young, new souls from the wiser and more experienced, because they tend to be a bit ‘wild’ and unrestrained. Young souls are typically eager to experience as many things as possible, and sometimes rush in ‘where angels fear to tread.’ If they are exceptionally gifted, they also need to be guided properly. Many old souls reincarnate to the earth plane to help ground and guide these younger souls.

The old souls also return to provide the physical world with the many things needed for us to thrive, such as advancements in the arts, sciences and technology. Sadly, some greedy, spiritually unconscious humans abuse these gifts to the world for their personal gain. This causes much unnecessary suffering in the world.

When we decide in this life that we would like to have a child, it means our soul wants chooses to take on another soul contract. However, such a soul agreement, like any other contract, is always a two-way process. There cannot be a pregnancy unless the soul of the unborn child also chooses you as parent. In the Guf, souls can decide if they want to join a contract, or not.

The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew. it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are perfectly healthy women who want to have children, but cannot get pregnant for some mysterious reason, while there are also women who do not want kids, yet they become pregnant anyway. Sometimes the reasons for this may be spiritual in nature. Souls incarnate according to their contracts, and we become parents, or not, based on our original soul agreements.

If a soul doesn’t want to be born into this world, then they will remain in the Guf. We can choose never to be born, but then we will also not evolve and ascend. We need physical life experience to grow, but it always our free will choice.

Some souls come to this world on a particular mission or calling to help heal, improve and change the world for the greater good, while other souls come simply to explore, experience and learn.

We are born and reborn countless number of times, and it is possible that each being has been our parent at one time or another. Therefore, it is likely that all beings in this universe have familial connections ~ Dalai Lama

Once a soul departs this life and returns to the other side, they enter into a soul review process. When I have afterlife contact with souls in readings, they will usually appear to me as younger or ‘refreshed’ looking if they have already completed this debriefing process. If they have not yet done their life review, they look as they did at the time of their passing.

In my experience, souls do not go into this review until the first anniversary of their passing. This is why within the first year of their passing their energy seem to be around us more frequently and consistently. They are still earthbound to some extent, to help us get through our grief, sometimes also to make amends, and to ensure that we will be okay without them once they cross over.
