I am somewhat aware of my purpose, place, and function in the higher group life (ashramic group unit) of which I am a part, and of that group life within the greater life (or Ashram) of which that group is a part.
More specifically, my Spiritual Soul is part of the nucleus of the heart center of an Ashramic Group Unit or " Group Disciple" that is sometimes known as " The Wisdom Group" .
The Wisdom Group is a part of the Soul of the " Ashram of Synthesis" , and has a particular purpose, place, and function within that Ashram.
The purpose and function of that group and Ashram are described at some length in a number of my writings (available on my website and through Preparation Press), and in the works of Lucille Cedercrans (available through Wisdom Impressions).
The nucleus, heart center, Wisdom Group, and Ashram, consist of consciousness identified with a common purpose—producing united activity. Since the consciousness or Soul is " born" of and is the relationship between Spirit and Substance, it is the nature of the Soul to be aware of or " see" relationships. Thus, when one is identified with and as the Spiritual Soul, one perceives one's relationship with the other Souls in one's group unit, and the relationship of one's group unit with the other units of one’s Ashram, and of one's Ashram with the larger life of which it is a part.
This awareness of relationships does not and cannot occur in groups of personas.
The reason for this is quite simple (although it can be difficult to explain). The persona instrument is, of course, a thing of substance, and it is the nature of substance to differentiate (via creative activity). Thus, when and to the degree that one identifies with and as substance, one identifies with the differentiating nature of substance and perceive differences or separation. Thus, outer groups of personas are connected by their perception of separation (from other individuals and groups) rather than by awareness of Soul relationship.
I realize that this explanation may sound and feel separative, but it really isn't, for I am aware of our relationship as Soul with Soul. As I and the group of which I am a part perform our inner and outer work, we naturally support your inner and outer work —just as the physical heart supports the lungs, brain, and other organs by performing its role in that life of which they are all a part. Sometimes this subjective interaction and support leads to direct, physical interaction in the physical-dense world of affairs, but most often it does not for there is no higher overshadowing purpose for doing so.
Namaste,
Glen
