“The mark of an advanced spirit is one who has patience with society and shows extraordinary coping skills. Most prominent is their exceptional insight.
This is not to say life has no karmic pitfalls for them, otherwise the Level V probably wouldn’t be here at all. They may be found in all walks of life, but are frequently in the helping professions or combating social injustice in some fashion. The advanced soul radiates composure, kindness, and understanding toward others. Not being motivated by self-interest, they may disregard their own physical needs and live in reduced circumstances.

The individual I have chosen to represent the Level V soul (Case 23) is a woman in her mid-thirties who works for a large medical treatment facility specializing in chemical substance abuse. I was introduced to this woman by a colleague who told me of her skill in guiding recovering drug addict into an improved state of self-awareness. Although warm and friendly, there was about her an air of impenetrability. Her clear, luminous gray eyes were those of one who sees small things unnoticed by ordinary folk. I felt she was looking into rather than at me …
I glanced at my watch. There was no time for background information if I was going to allow for exploration of this woman’s after life experiences. Rapidly I took her into superconsciousness (see Posts for July 28th), anticipating some interesting spiritual disclosures. She would not disappoint me. She rapidly entered into a deep trance and made instant contact with her inner self.

Case 23:
Dr. N: What is your spiritual name?
Subject: Thece.
Dr. N: And your spiritual guide kept her African name of Kumara?
Subject: For me, yes.
Dr. N: What do you look like in the spirit world?
Subject: A glowing fragment of light.
Dr. N: What exactly is the color of your energy?
Subject: Sky-blue.
More conversation continues about her’s and her spiritual guide’s light. The Subject says that ‘Our light is attached to the source.’ Dr. N. clarifies this with ‘When you say source — you mean God?’ The Subject clarifies the meaning of God by saying, ‘That word has been misused… by personalizing, which makes the source less than it is. It takes the liberty of making the source too … human, although we are all part of its oneness.’

Dr. N: Perhaps we should talk about older souls for a minute. Does Kumara incarnate on Earth any more?
Subject: No, she doesn’t.
Dr. N: Do you know others like Kumara who were here during the early times on Earth and don’t come back any more?
Subject: (cautiously). A few … yes … many got on Earth early and got off before I came.
Dr. N: Did any stay? … Advanced souls who keep coming back to life on Earth when they could stay in the spirit world?
Subject: Oh, you mean the Sages?

Dr. N: Yes, the Sages — tell me about them. (this is a new term for me, but I often pretend to know more than I do with advanced souls to elicit information)
Subject: (with admiration )They are the true watchers of Earth, you know to be here and keep watch over what is going on.
Dr. N: Don’t the Sages get tired of still hanging around Earth?
Subject: They chose to stay and help people directly because they are dedicated to Earth.
Dr, N: Where are these Sages?
Subject: (wistfully) They live simple lives. I first came to know some of them thousands of years ago. Today it’s hard to see them … they don’t like cities much. (Later she said, ‘They prefer to be with the common people who are most affected by the movers and shakers.)
Dr. N: Are there many of them?
Subject: No, they live in small communities, or out in the open … in the deserts and mountains … in simple dwellings. They wander about too …
Dr. N: How does one recognize them?
Subject: (sighs) Most people don’t. They were known as the oracles of truth in. earlier times on Earth.
Dr. N: What is the feeling one gets when meeting a Sage on Earth?
Subject: Ahh, you feel a special presence. Their power of understanding and the advice they give you is so wise. They do live simply. Material things mean nothing to them.
Dr. N: Are you interested in this sort of service, Thece?
Subject: Hmm, no, they are saints. I welcome the time when I can stop incarnating.

Dr. N: Perhaps the word Sage could also be applied to souls like Kumara, or even with the entities to whom she turns for knowledge?
Subject: (pause) No, they are different … they are beyond the Sages. We call them the Old Ones.
Note: I would place these beings beyond Level VI. Subject says ‘We feel their influence … a concentrated power of enlightenment … and guidance. They must be close to the source. The Old Ones represent the purest elements of thought … engaging in the planning and arranging of … substances. It is slow assimilating with the source, because we are not complete. i would call myself a watcher. I would call Kumara a master teacher or possibly an educational director.’ ”
