I thought that spirits were the ones in the astral realm and souls not spirits incarnate?
MiBeloved’s Response:
This idea is that there are spirits who are permanent residents in the astral world, persons who remain there all the time, in contrast to souls who are body-supported beings who must repeatedly incarnate in material bodies.
In sex you!, the terms soul and spirit are used interchangeable, even though soul really means a spirit who is earth-bound even when it is in the astral state between leaving one material body and acquiring a new form.
It is a fact that there are spirits who remain permanently in the astral world. These spirits have neither need for, nor attraction to, physical existence. Thus they are not drawn into birth situations in any species of material life anywhere.
However most of the spirits who are in dimensions which are adjacent to this physical existence are earth-bound souls, meaning that even though they are spirits, they nevertheless have a cultural affinity for physical existence. These are also spirits but it is just that they are earth-bound.
To clarify:
A spirit is a spirit unit but if that unit has an affinity with physical existence, then it is called a soul because it carries with it the need for physical existence.
There is little difference between spirits and souls except for the cultural affinity of those spirits who are earth-bound and who are put into the soul category to differentiate them from the spirits who have no attraction to material existence.
============================
I thought the father’s soul attracts a similar soul when the female is impregnated?
MiBeloved’s Response:
In sex you! the cause of attraction to a set of parents is based mostly on social work in a past life which those parents are currently benefiting from. Usually there is an attraction to the father or mother or to both simultaneously. But the lynch-pin is the disembodied soul’s beneficial social activities in that family in its past life.
Even if the father does not attract a soul, even if the father does not even like the disembodied soul who is to be his child, the effect-energy of the child will cause the father, even against his will, to beget a body for that disembodied person. This is all nicely explained in the Anu Gita Explained* book.
The father and mother are under the influence of the ancestors at all times, but that is unknown to most parents because they assume that their thoughts, desires, wishes and urges are their very own.
When a person loses a body, we say Mommy is dead or Daddy is dead, and usually we feel that the matter is ended there. In reference to grandparents and great grandparents, we feel that they are dead and gone, long ago. However, usually a deceased relative lives in the body of a descendant. It lives in the body like that, unseen and unheard, until an embryo is being developed.
