Hello Mr. Green. You pose very excellent questions. Something is starting to happen to all of us. Some prior to others. Most people don't really
understand it and don't know how to explain it so they try to the best way they know how.
Awakening is a process. Mine began 2 years ago and at the time I also believed myself to be "Special" or "Different". I also thought that I was
smarter, wiser, more knowledgeable, more aware, and the lists goes on and on and on. Although I had caught my first Satori or glimpse of
enlightenment, I was still unaware of the nature of the spiritual dimension and completely ignorant of the ego.
Yet the identification of myself being smarter, wiser, this, and that WAS identification with my mind which is to say "My Ego." I still had not gone
beyond the mind so my mind told me I was superior to other people. Especially if they could not understand what I was talking about in the mist of
arguments and debates.
It was not until I started doing research, reading spiritual texts, reviewing the works of the great wisdom teachers (With emphasis on Jesus as I was
raised in catholic school) that I was able to go beyond my mind. The mind will try but CANNOT really understand anything. True intuition is derived
from one's feelings as your emotions are the language of your soul.
So in short, YES they are just like me and you but have not went beyond their identification with being "SPECIAL". I believe it inaccurate to say
"Human Souls" as we are not human beings that have spiritual moments, quite the opposite, We are "Spiritual Beings" that have human moments. i.e.
We ARE simply SOULS. The spirit children of God. It has been said that in the beginning of time God was all there was yet he/she/it longed to
experience itself. At this point this was impossible as he was all there was. No dyads or triads only ONE. So in order for God to experience himself
he divided himself into many hence the saying "God had many spirit children" (souls) Me, You, and all. Which is why they say we are all Gods and
Goddesses and is the very basis for reincarnation for we all have lived many many times and been alive since the beginning of time. WE ARE ALL GOD.
Hoped this helped in anyway.
A Flower For YOU.
