Soul Growth

The other day, I made some comments about soul ages and also made the statement that what I said could be wrong.  As was suggested by a friend who also has mystical connections, I reconsidered my understanding and realized that I was wrong.  I cannot say that I understand the process of soul growth but I can say that my view was overly linear and too simplistic.  I like the comments of Sylvia Fraser in The Book of Strange, that “We as a species seem to have been created as vessels of consciousness.  Apparently, the deeper, spiritual journey is not requested of us but demanded, with the stakes being higher than earthly happiness and perhaps even life and death.”
