Hi Men an tol, Soul is Spirit and is a unit of awareness that can leave the body at will if Soul should want to do this. I leave it to the hierarchy to show me whatever is beneficial for my learning experience.
On reading your post about Krishnamurti you mention that a person is aware of all the aspects of life both negative and positive but remain uninvolved by not making a choice either way. We in ECKANKAR know this to be the middle road of neutrality which we aspire to. In other words we do not like or dislike anything, so there is no conflict.
To me, exercising the body as in Tai chi might bring harmony to the mind and body so result in good health, but surely that cannot be thought to be spiritual, though I managed to set one or all my Chakras in motion so that I had double the amount of energy that I had previously. Had I not eaten food I have no doubt that this energy would have continued to flow.
The body is the Temple for Soul whilst it sojourns in this physical plane and leaves it when Soul decides to travel into other dimensions. If some people don't think there is such a thing as Spirit how can they use the word spiritual? It can only be used if one believes that Spirit Soul exists, surely?
As I see it, the practice of Tai Chi only enhances the physical wellbeing of the body as the person is still ensconced in the physical body, otherwise the person would have an out of the body experience which would happen spontaneously if they were to go further, but that is as far as they are ever able to go until they have a changed attitude. Which will encourage further seeking so that they can travel along a different path.

Hi Mouse, I believe every experience that someone else says they have. Why wouldn't I? We are all travelling along a certain path and we are receiving the experiences relevant to that path, but we do evolve when we have learned all that we needed to know whilst on that path. If we need to learn more because of our Karma then we move on to another path that will teach us more, this is known as evolvement. We call the shots via our interest. If we are quite happy to stay on one path whatever it may be, then we are at liberty to do so. Only the mind uses the word superiority, spiritually we are humble therefore we are all just Soul travelling along life's highway at our own pace, learning as we go.

SL, I would never want to question your intelligence. You have a very good vocabulary and can occasionally discuss various subjects - when you choose to. What comes to mind is that you may be a little naive. To believe your church has come up with new ideas and new truths and new information is incorrect. It appears they have only taken a lot of old ideas and hodge podge claims and given them a little twist here and there. How do they see Ouija Boards and Tarot cards and table rappings? I would like to know whether the members support them financially but since that may be a sensitive area, I'll leave it for you to consider. Hi Jessiealan, the things that you have mentioned are happening but it is there to hold your interest so that you do not go further and find the path that will help you spritually evolve, in other words, it is a distraction. We are here to learn that there IS such a thing as spiritual dimensions. At the moment there are some people who think that only this physical plane is all there is. I know from my experiences that there is more to life than the physical plane. Lots, that even I am not aware

I did post them some weeks ago in another thread one was when I was about 14..friend I was staying with and I went a bike ride to a place neither of us knew as her family had only just moved to the area we went down a lane and came across a a derelict old hall... any way we went around to the front [which I said would have a high walled garden with a path to the door because ive been here before] to see if we could explore more...the front door was slightly ajar......I described what we would find ...a stair case inside the door and a massive room with two fireplaces one at one end on that wall and one at the other end on that wall...both inside walls and I wore a red evening gown and came down the wooden stair case..some sort of party... how or why I knew I have no idea....but I was spot on...later the old house was.. demolished as was usual before conservation became a big thing... it was built in the reign of Henry v111..and was lived in until the 20/30s have since seen both illustrations and photographs of the place....there are NO family connections to the hall or the family whose home it was the other instance my son borning in the November was still on 10pm feeds...so I was finishing off his bottle and change..and husband was emptying the ashes from the stove..prior to building it up for the night he was rather a long time[it was a cold cold night] any way in he came saying he had seen something unusual in the sky..so I handed over the baby and went out side and there was a cigar shape deep red and stationary in the sky,,, eventually it just disappeared as though a light had been switched off...but the time length was enough from him to go out side..dump the ashes..take a good look come back in and for me to go outside and take a good look we laughed and called it our own UFO when the local papers came out later that week..a policeman cycling to work had also reported the phenomina so that made three of us who had seen whatever ever it was two happenings.. I cannot explain Hi Mouse, I am always happy to hear of other peoples unusual experiences. In the first experience that you mentioned, it proves to me that you were shown a past lifetime and it is possible you were a member of the Royal family. Your other experience was ofcourse an Alien aircraft and you were meant to see it. It is up to you whether you were intrigued enough to make more enquiries, you evidently weren't. What a pity.!!!

"""it is possible you were a member of the Royal family""" why would you think that there would be a royal connecion ? I realised when I said it was an old hall.....a hall means something else today....an old hall is an old manor house..hence stair case and fireplaces and no I never followed it up..either time ..although I have always had an interest in the possibilities and probabilities Alien life....I don't see how we on this planet could be the only life forms in the universe only hope for every ones sake they land ...its some where like New Zealand or their reception doesn't bear thinking about

So whatever the case may be, that possibility does exist. It is not a big deal to be part of the Royal family it is just a role that has something to teach us. I believe Shirley McLaine the move star was the wife or girlfriend of a famous King back in time. She has written quite a few interesting books which I read ages ago. I think Out on a Limb was her first. As I have mentioned before, it is up to each person what path they travel along.

When this planet blows they are the ones who are going to save us so that the human species will still exist.
