If you can capture someone at their most vulnerable or happy stage, it is also possible to capture a glimpse of their soul. And if you have a strong sense of perception, you are able to see it, in full animation like an abstract painting trying to figure out it's place in a world beyond the chaos of it's birth.
I remember attending a gathering for a family member, and even though the event was for her, she still insisted that she wanted to cook. While everyone was in the backyard playing, partying and having a good time- she was in the kitchen serving up dishes and handing them to my younger Cousins to take outside.
When I went into the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of her soul and it almost brought me to tears. I captured her at her most vulnerable and happy point, the place where the humanoid form ended and the real form began.
She was serving food and cooking like a machine made to do just that. The pleasure and seriousness in her face was sharp and attentive. A piece of her was going into every plate and she took charge of this task because it was the task she had awarded herself over eons of lifetimes and cycles.
For a moment, I did not see an Elder Woman serving food for family and guests. I saw a level of consciousness- a vast collective of energies created to oversea the feeding and nurturing of new life, new fields of awareness. I saw how that level of consciousness became a Goddess entity, and then later because of it's desperate need to serve, became Human.
Feeding us was her way of showering reciprocity to those who loved and cared for her as well. It was also her greatest pleasure, not cooking itself- but the act of eating people her energy. Food is often the best conductor for this type of motherly nurturing.
As we pass through different life times and cycles, things do change, but many things remain the same. That is the soul, that which never changes and at times it is change itself.
Take the story of the 65 year old Woman whose Husband died and returned again as her Daughter's Son- her very own Grandson. She said that she had so many dreams about her Husband after he died that she figured she was going crazy when he told her he was coming back to be with her and protect her. She knew fir sure it was only her love for him talking back.
But when her Grandson was born, those dreams stopped. By the time he was 2 years old everyone knew this child loved his Grandmother deeply. He would call her name during the night. The Daughter was happy that the Son took to her Mother so quickly since she needed help because of her divorce for his Father 4-5 months after he was born.
What finally made the Grandmother realize that her Grandson was indeed her dear ol' Husband returned, was when at 5 years of age- her Grandson somehow found her Husband's tobacco smoking pipe all the way hidden in her closet, and was sitting on his favorite chair, with the pipe in his mouth- and when she walked into the room he said to her " you always talkin fool"- which was her Husband's most famous line to end an argument. Actually her Husband would say "you always talkin' foolishness" but that was close enough.
She almost fainted. She asked the boy where did he learn that language and where did he find the pipe, but all he could do is laugh and wrap his little arms around her neck giving hugs and kisses. She questioned the daugther about it and she said no one has ever spoken around him like that. But as her Grandson grew, all the way into his Teenage years, he did become her protector and helper. He was there for her when no one else would come around. All the way until the beautiful end of her life.
Only a few people knew her story, and those few have said that she knew her Husband's soul, the body might change, the mind might find new ways to organize things, but the soul- as she said "plays the same tune."
I've met people that I'm certain I've known in previous life times. I'm certain because these people hold keys to who I am and also because I have "instant recalls" when I'm around them. Being around someone from a past life can trigger a recall, a memory not from this life time. One close friend of mine triggered a recall where I was in a desert riding a horse running back to my village to save her from something. I remember wearing a turban on my head and something was covering my face. She recalled dying that day because I didn't make in back in time. But her recall took place in a dream, while mine took place in a vision.
Because of her recalls, I've learned also that many of us try to keep away from things that have killed us in previous lives. In her previous life it was being outed for being a witch that killed her. So in this life she has tried to keep away from the occult- yet these things will still gravitate towards us because they are part of our overall being and "training."
There are also "death marks" that remain with us, marks that are fused unto the spirit, the soul's holographic projection. I was killed by my opponent's sword, stabbed right in the gut. So in this life I have that same mark which came from a fall I received as a child. Even though the fall was a graze that didn't hurt at all, it left a scar that looks like I was stabbed.
I learned about many of my past selves through self regression. I would repeat certain words over and over until I'd fall into a trance that allowed me to see certain details about my past reality.
Thankfully there are still cultures and people who devote their entire lives to finding the soul, perhaps an entire life of devotion is not required, but it does take time to understand what we really are beyond the illusions of everything. That is something that can only be defined by our experiences and desires.
By watching her Man eat a Woman is often times finding his soul. And in the places a Woman will gaze into to find her thoughts is where hers will be found as well. No matter what the soul is, everyone basically wants to eat experiences. No matter what the soul is, everyone is basically looking for a place to create their thoughts.
This is our dillema, this is our curse-
and perhaps this is also our cure.
