On Spirit Realm, Death, Soul, Reincarnation and Healing   --Interview with Alex Telman

Who are we? Why are we here?

Well, we are intruders in the minds of creatures called Human Beings. We use these creatures to learn, to perfect ourselves as Spirits. Our job on Earth is to survive and learn, cut off from our true home- the Spirit realm. We are here to learn through our pain.

What is the difference between a Soul and a Spirit?
A Soul is a Spirit in a human body. A Spirit is an entity from the Spirit realm- our true home.

What happens when we die?
Souls often leave their body moments before actual death when the body is in greatest pain. The soul then travels through what looks like a black tunnel but is actually a Spiritual passage towards a golden white light. The light looks like a pinpoint but seems to expand as the Soul gets closer to it. The Soul feels like it is being pulled into the bright whiteness. The light appears to be a grey-gold colour that increases in intensity and the Soul is pulled in. It is at this grey-gold colour stage that some Souls refuse to enter the light.

Souls do not cross over for many reasons- fear, anger, confusion, unresolved major issues; especially if they have been killed (murdered), not completed something important, an other form of abrupt detachment.

Although Souls rarely have any interest in what happens to their bodies once they are physically dead (this is not harshness, just a desire to hurry home- into the Spirit realm), they do desire to mentally reach out and comfort loved ones before moving to the light. This is not a long process. Although Time is not a concept experienced in the Spirit realm, I have estimated that 1 day in our physical realm is equivalent to about 2 seconds in the spirit realm. Most Souls like to stay for their body’s funeral. This happens between 3 – 5 days. That’s about 6-10 seconds Emotions are also different in the Spirit ream because they know they will see those they left on Earth again either on the other side or in a future life.

What does the Soul experience as it moves into the Spirit realm?
The Soul experiences a gentle pulling into the light. It feels the power of thought all around it. This is a power of Love, understanding, security; it is an experience of pure harmony and absolutely no fear. It’s also a time of adjustment to the separation from the physical body.

Highly developed Souls move through this stage very easily and rapidly. Younger Souls, who may be disturbed by their separation, may need more time to adapt to their non-physical being.

The light appears to be layered, in the sense of getting brighter as the Soul enters it. It moves from grey to bright white. Sometimes sounds are heard, like vibrations. These can make the soul feel more revitalized.
At this point the Soul will be met by a welcoming group; either its Spirit guide and/or other familiar Spirits. Younger Souls may need comforting (they may carry the baggage of a difficult physical life). Older Souls may not even need their guide. Adjustment periods vary- usually depending on the level of the Soul’s advancement.

Unseen energy forces of living consciousness guide each Soul through to the other side of the light.

What are the first images seen by the Soul after crossing the light into the Spirit realm?
The first entity most Souls see as they enter the Spirit realm is usually their Spirit guide and is met by feeling of love and encouragement. Sometimes the younger Souls are also met by deceased relatives or people who were important to their past or current lives. There is a strong feeling of home and familiarity.

Next there appears to be a ‘parting’ of the light and the appearance of a huge auditorium-like room auditorium filled with sparkles of bright lights- like Christmas lights. The Soul floats towards these. They are the energy of other Souls.

Some of these energy/lights will be familiar to you as people you have known from past lives or in the Spirit realm. These familiar energies are at the foreground, with literally millions of energy lights in the background- those are other Souls re-entering the Spirit realm. Sometimes Souls are met by no-one, and this is disconcerting for the younger Souls. Your meeting process is planned well in advance to make your entry as easy as possible and depends on your particular needs.

What is a ‘lost’ Soul?
Compared to the total number of Souls, there are relatively few so-called ‘lost’ Souls. There are 2 types of lost Souls who refuse to cross over to the Spirit realm; these are either Ghosts (discarnate Souls inhabiting a place) or Attached Souls (discarnate Souls inhabiting a body).

Ghosts choose to remain in a geographical location due to a high level of discontent- they usually exhibit despair, confusion and at times hostility. Attached Souls are more common. They attach to people and often have a negative impact on a person’s psyche. People’s behaviour and/or thinking changes once these Souls infest a body. They affect or imprison our true Souls, often resulting in addictive or other negative behaviours. These unhappy Souls should be crossed-over.

Are Souls accountable for their actions whilst in a physical body?
After the initial welcoming group has dispersed, the Soul is ‘pulled’ towards along on a beam of white light towards an area of healing; akin to a chamber. The light is warm and healing; it’s purpose: cleansing of hurts, de-scarring, rehabilitation the leftovers from the ravages of the physical body and human mind. All negativity, pain from memories and the last chains of the physical realm are let go of here. It’s like taking a cool shower on a hot day. The older and more experienced the Soul becomes, the less damaged it comes back.
After this bathing, the Soul goes by way of the beam of white light to a comfortable, quiet place where a process of Soul-Spirit guide debriefing takes place. Guides are gentle but probing. Nothing can be hidden from them. You cannot get away with anything in the Spirit realm. Mistakes are admitted. Younger Souls are especially counseled. There is no such thing as punishment; the Souls themselves serve as their most severe critic in front of teacher-guides.

Souls are not created perfect. That is the reason they are inside our bodies- to learn lessons. As such they can become contaminated by external entities. Thus all Souls have the potential of damaging their identities by poor life choices; and all Souls are accountable for their conduct in the bodies they occupy, though ‘punishment’ is not the correct way to describe this accountability.

All mistakes can be rectified in a later life where the Soul will have to come back and deal with the same issues over and over again- that is karma. Souls don’t ever get it perfect; as long as they try to follow through on agreed goals prior to entering the physical body. When they don’t there is no punishment, only discussion and planning how to improve in a later life. Suicides are generally sent immediately back to a physical body to repeat the same issues without death.

Again, Souls are more upset with their mistakes than guides are; guides can be displeased but they don’t humiliate Souls. They are too advanced for that. They explain, for example, how they put thoughts into the physical body that the Soul ignored, or signs that were missed, or opportunities wasted. Motivations are discussed.

Our motivations are questioned and criticized but not condemned in such as way as to make us suffer… this is not exoneration – karma is still in play with respect to future lives… there is however at this point an overwhelming sense of forgiveness and understanding. This realm has no time so the learning process is eternal. )

What happens after the debriefing session?
All Souls are then projected to what can be described as a central depot, or staging area when they are then transported to their final home destination.
This central depot is an immense chamber with millions of soul/energy lights. It’s a very busy place with many ‘corridors’ leading out in ever direction. The most striking feature of the spirit realm is the constant awareness of a powerful loving energy directing everything- there is a powerful feeling of affinity between all the Souls here. This energy ‘pulls’ each Spirit through and out of the central depot – it’s like traveling along a purposeful, vibrational chord- like being pulled along by a current. As you travel through corridors you are aware of many, many Soul Clusters- groups of between 10 and 20 Souls. They look like combined dots of light- like groups of lights; perhaps like grapes bunched together. The speed is very fast, but it is rhythmic and safe.

As you approach your cluster, you slow down. The closer you are to your cluster, the more you slow down and the more familiar some of the Souls become. These are Souls you have come across as people in your past lives as either relatives, friends, or acquaintances on Earth.

Then you stop and there is a feeling on immense familiarity. You ‘stand’ before your own group. All communication is by telepathy- an exchange of vibrating energy. Souls are in the same cluster for all eternity- even though some develop faster than others. These are instructional groups- like classes at school, except all is centred around love and understanding. More advanced Souls within each cluster have extra ‘tuition’ elsewhere, but the affinity within each cluster is eternal. Here learning is focused on each Soul’s Earthly experiences. All experiences can be ‘replayed’, either as holographic type images or ‘inside’ the experience. Decisions, motivations, alternatives and future possibilities are often the focus of discussion. Spirit guides often join these discussions- not as teachers per se, but rather as knowledgeable participants. The atmosphere is ‘fun’, not serious, although most Souls take their learning seriously. The goal is to develop understanding (that is why older souls usually are found in humble or harsh circumstances on Earth).

How are we assigned our Spirit guides?
Aim of a Spirit guide is to protection, comfort and advise the Soul whilst in the physical realm- though there is still contact in the Spirit realm. When people pray, they usually are heard only by their guide.

Older Souls act as ‘trainee’ or junior Spirit guides. Depends on a Soul’s maturity. More mature Souls may have more than one person they guide. All guides have different experience and abilities, therefore guides are assigned (by ‘Elders) on the basis that they have overcome in their past lives similar problems and behaviours that the younger Soul. Because of this similarity, guides are usually compassionate, loyal, motivating, skillful and not judgmental – but that does not mean they are always ‘easy’. They need to be challenging in order for Souls to learn. That is why most people only receive clues, or direction, to answer their problems, not the full solution. Their way of teaching is more parental than dictatorial. Guides have a way of disappearing when Souls in their care refuse to confront, or avoid, problems. That is why we should listen to those voices in our head- especially at times of crisis.
Guides also have their own guides; Souls more advanced than they- and so on up the ladder.

What is the difference between a young Soul and an old Soul?
Earth is a difficult training ground for Souls. Some planets are very material, other are very mental. Earth is a rugged combination of both and therefore a good training ground for Souls who wish to advance. Human beings are egotistical yet very vulnerable, controlled mostly by senses and emotions. Most Souls experience other ‘easier’ planets first before incarnating on Earth.
Approximately 80 percent of Souls are in their early development. Some Souls who have been incarnating 50,000 years are still young. Others 8,000 year are older. It’s all about learning lessons that must be learnt- as a result of our Earthly experiences.

All Souls are ‘equal’ in the Spirit realm. Beginner Souls are usually confused and not very able to learn lessons. They are not judged on that basis, but rather encouraged in their efforts. Inability to learn in one lifetime is compensated for by effort in the next. Souls are their own greatest critics- they can get discouraged, but the support they receive from the Spirit realm is immense. Their knowledge and experience base in increased with each lifetime and the learning process lasts an eternity so there is no hurry. They have a lot of input from their guides about each next incarnation and their life plans are very closely monitored. It usually takes a Beginner Soul up to 10 lifetimes to really begin the learning process. They then become Young Souls.
Older Souls on the other hand have greater ‘freedom’ and also greater responsibility. Their relationship with their guides is closer to that of partners in learning. They have more say in their next incarnation and life plan. At times they act as Spirit guides in conjunction with more Advanced Souls.

Advanced Souls are usually seen as very adapt at problem solving when they incarnate into a physical body; they are seen as emotionally stable and ‘appear’ to others as Spiritually aware. But this is often not the case. Often they choose very harsh physical environments to develop their learning. They do not often incarnate, preferring to act as ‘junior’ Spirit guides- they also expend a lot of energy analyzing their past lives and helping younger Souls through their experiences- sometimes as Spirit guides.

So what is the ultimate goal of a Soul?
The ultimate goal of a Soul is to combine… or become one with the Source- the Supreme creative life force.

What is the Source? Is it God?
These are just names we put on the ultimate creating energy. I have never seen it, but I know it is there. It is the Love force. The Creator of the Spirit and other realms. In fact, it is the Spirit realm. I don’t know if it is one entity or a group of entities, but I do know it is there. It creates and continues to create the system.

In fact it is the Spirit realm that is the true ‘civilization’ of the Universe, not Humanity or any other planetary species. The physical realm is there for the learning process of the Spirit realm. Everything returns home to the Spirit reams and it’s ultimate centre is the Source. Everything is pulled towards It.
It is the opposite to evolution. The more we evolve as a species, the more we go back to the Source.

How does a Soul select its next physical life, its next body?
Souls, especially the younger ones, do not always wish to return to a physical body- especially when they have not been successful in achieving their goals. But the Spirit realm is a loving and caring environment and eventually, after the traumas of past lives have been healed, all Souls feel the ‘pull’ to begin the re-incarnation process again.

Souls work in conjunction with their Spirit guides to determine readiness. When ready, the Soul is transported to a ‘Selection Room’- a very bright room like an Imax cinema. Here there is a meeting with their Spirit guide and Elders- old souls who do not incarnate but organize and advise on re-incarnation. Each Soul is energetically scanned and an ‘optimum’ physical life is chosen. The ‘future life’ is then played on the multidimensional screen- only the major life moments, turning points.

The Soul can ‘enter’ that life to get a sense of it at any point. The Soul then makes a choice as to whether to accept that body or not. Most do and they must bear the responsibility for their choice. If a Soul does not accept that body, the matter is discussed and if necessary another physical body is selected. By the end of this process the Soul has an idea of the life they will be entering. That life is in proportion to the lessons they need to learn and any karmic resolution to be performed. The Soul may be given a choice of bodies if there are many lessons to learn.

Souls choose their bodies for specific learning experiences- at times for others rather than themselves. For example, a Soul may enter the body of a baby that dies at birth- this is a blessing for that Soul, and the lessons in that situation are for the parents of that baby. The Soul returns to the Spirit realm and will be allocated another body- often a sibling to the deceased baby.
Souls may choose to enter a physically or mentally disabled body to overcome the shortcomings of that body- be that discrimination, ailments, pain, humility, and so on.

All Souls enter their physical body intentionally. There are no accidents. Souls choose the best physical experience, including the selection of family, friends and other circumstances, for the lessons they must learn as well as the part they play in the lessons of other Souls. That is the importance of Soul clusters. The entire process is about the learning experience of each Soul- by overcoming adversity.

Once a body is selected, what is the re-birth process?
Once a body has been selected the Soul returns to its Cluster group and the Souls in that group discuss the choices any returning Souls have made. Trials, lessons, tribulations are discussed in the context of meaning each has to the departing Soul.

There is also a series of meetings between the departing Soul and their Spirit guide to confirm the ‘life plan’ of the Soul- its goals for the next physical existence. Also discussed are the important turning points or milestones to watch out for, as seen in the Selection Room.

So by this stage the Soul knows the major turning points in its next life as well as the Souls it must come into contact with, significant people it has to meet, in order for it to learn its life lessons. Of course everything in the physical realm is free will and it may take a Soul many, many lifetimes to recognize the important people it must learn from. Souls often miss such opportunities in the physical realm and the human – physical person suffers as a result. Likewise the Soul does not fully learn its lessons. But alternatives always exist within each lifetime and they are learning experiences as well. These matters are the subject of the final exit interview with the Soul’s Spirit guide.

At the appropriate moment the Soul feels a gentle pull and, accompanied by its Spirit guide, begins to move through the corridors of the Spirit realm. As it does so a protective shield of white light forms around it. After the protective shield is formed the Soul’s speed increases until it is floating at great speed into a large chamber, let’s call it the exit chamber, where it slows and stops. During its flight into towards the exit chamber a silver chord has been attached and the Soul’s energy has undertaken a foetal human-like form. This silver chord connects the Soul to its new physical body.

The exit chamber is of a bright while colour. At a distance a wall of white, shimmering gas, or cloud, can be seen. There is a final parting between the Soul and its Spirit guide.

The Soul enters the white gaseous cloud. As it slowly travels through the white light it undergoes a form of amnesia, so that when it enters its new human form it will begin to forget its life in the Spirit realm. This is so that all lessons learnt on Earth are ‘natural’; all pain is experienced as a reality, not as a pre-destined formula. That is how we learn; though pain. But the amnesia process is not perfect and humans open to Spiritual learning do get glimpses, or memory, of the Spirit realm. Some people (Mediums, Psychics or people under hypnosis) are capable of greater memory than others.

Souls can enter the human body at any time before birth. They enter at a point when all the bodies physical organs are in place. At first the Soul will probe the babies mind, learn its brain wave patterns, and slowly settle in. This is not always an easy process as every mind is different. Younger Souls may be helped in this process by their Spirit guide. The Soul and the mind gently meld as the Soul expands itself through the body. It relaxes the child and quietly determines a course of action after birth. The amnesia process continues until the child is about 6 years of age.

Then, apart from its Spirit guide and other ‘soul mates’ it meets along the way, each Soul is on its own, learning (or attempting to learn), the lessons it has come here for.
