Why Is The Soul Still A Mystery?

The truth of the soul’s existence has been made plain in the Padgett Messages. The soul is the spiritual powerhouse and essence of our being and is capable of connecting us to God. The material mind was supposed to be more of an adjunct, useful for interacting with the material world.

So why do we struggle to relate to the soul? Our surface consciousness has beguiled mankind for millennia and we’re the product of that long-held fascination. As a result, we suffer from a serious imbalance between mindful and soul consciousness. Consequently, the wisdom available in our souls is often neglected when making decisions. This explains much of the dysfunctionality that surrounds us and why human endeavours often end in failure. This imbalance has largely blocked access to our soul wisdom and God. This is a considerable handicap to live with and has serious repercussions for us individually and collectively.

To know the soul requires us to have a spiritual awakening. The most powerful form of this comes with receiving divine love, which opens up new perceptions in our souls that provide us with all we need to be joyful and thrive spiritually. This is the only way we can progress to the highest realms of the afterlife known as the celestial kingdom. In most people, this path is contrary to what our surface consciousness wants and so few venture along it. In the Padgett Messages, Ann Rollins (James Padgett’s grandmother) had a long life but after she died and eventually got to the celestial kingdom, she found it sobering to see how few of the people she knew on earth had made it there in all the intervening time. It seems that few on earth find ‘the narrow path and gate’ whereby we can experience the glory of God’s celestial kingdom within a short time frame after we pass over.

The almost universal ignorance of the availability of divine love coupled with widespread disbelief in God and the spirit world explains why the soul largely remains a mystery to most of us. Furthermore, our normal consciousness feels comfortable and natural, so many people feel no incentive to explore further. Even when in possession of the truth, getting to know one’s soul is an ongoing journey for all eternity.
