In the simplest terms, Soul Travel is an individual moving closer to the heart of God. . . .
If you can imagine a scene, then you can be there this same instant in the Soul body. That is the Imaginative technique. It may feel as though you are hurtling through space at a breakneck speed, like a rocket, and zooming on a journey to outer space. In fact, though, Soul (you) is motionless. It is shifting Its attention to some higher state. That shifting of attention results in a feeling of fast motion to the material senses.
Soul Travel begins with a Spiritual Exercise of ECK in a physical setting.
A contemplative may hear a rushing sound, like a wailing wind in a tunnel, along with a sensation of incredible speed. But as explained, Soul doesn’t move; Soul is. Time and space adjust to Soul’s state of consciousness, and it is this adjustment of time and space that renders an illusion of movement or breathtaking speed. A seeming, rapid change of location is one aspect of Soul Travel that may prove to be a daunting obstacle for the timid. These people fear going beyond themselves.
Soul Travel is, therefore, for the bold and courageous in spirit. But remember, since one doesn’t in fact travel anywhere, it’s impossible to get lost.
Keep that principle in mind during a spiritual exercise. It will lend confidence to open your heart to love and so delight in any enlightenment that finds you.
Another form of Soul Travel is the expansion of consciousness. This aspect is the true state of personal revelation or enlightenment that we aspire to in ECK [Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ]. It visits both the timid and the bold, and is a gentler, less robust version of movement in consciousness. Most people experience this sort of gradual shifting of awareness.
Love and wonder define Soul Travel the best. . . .
Soul Travel, in a broad sense, is of much value because it is a link to the expansion of consciousness. The rule of destiny holds that people at some time will begin to awaken to who and what they are. A knowledge of past lives may also open to them by way of dreams or déjà vu. A few catch a glimpse of future events.
Note that Soul Travel means moving into the higher realms of God, to places people haven’t yet dreamed of. Soul Travel reveals a majesty and security that abounds in the arms of God alone.
For this reason, Soul Travel transcends astral or mind travel, and rote prayer, elevating one into profound spiritual areas. Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God’s all-consuming love.
It is our very purpose to discover that love.
