You are Light and part of the Cosmos and of Nature
Coming into Relationship with your Soul
-Hale Makua
" Your Oversoul or Amakua, births you into this world and is Your Higher Self.
Most of your Oversoul remains in the Cosmos as well as part of it birthing itself
into this World of Earth.
You also have a Physical and Emotional Soul and Body or Ku, and
Your Mental Creative Soul or Lono using the Cosmology of Hale Makua and Hawaiian Mysticism."
-Hank Wesselman
Egyptian Mysticism knows and honours 9 Soul parts.
Hinduism honours the Atman which is the eternal, universal spiritual principal
and that is imminent and unchanging within the individual.
It is considered the Inner Self or Soul
and is distinct from the ego, mind, and body.
Hale Makua:
“We all come here to this beautiful earth to grow and increase,
to become more than we were before,
and to enjoy ourselves.
We also come here to remember our Divine Origins,
which is only possible through one vehicle:
through the experience of Love for one another.”
“It’s through the experience of love,
that we remember who and what we really are,
and where we came from.
That reveals that all of us are Star People.”
“We came from the stars and will return.”
– Hale Makua/ Hank Wesselman.

Reflective Questions:
Inspiration from my teachers Dr Pauline McAuley and Rev. Dr Normandi Ellis
The Egyptian Book of The Dead and many modern books speak about these themes
1. What do you hold as Your Soul Contract that you wished to learn, heal, enjoy, and expand in your current Life?
2. What people do you recognize from previous incarnations?
3. What are they supporting you with and how?
4. What challenges are you facing to learn from, heal and grow?
5. What are your special loves?
6. What are your dislikes?
7. What are your Gifts and Talents?
8. What and who supports you: both human and non-human?
9. What do you wish to accomplish before you die?
10. What have you learned from Past Lives or wish to learn?
11. What lessons do you wish to take forward with you?
12. What do you wish to leave behind?
13. What are your virtues?
14. What are you vices?
Re-Visioning and Re-Writing a New Soul Contract:
What do you consider is finished or completed?
What do you wish to make new?
Work through your answers to the above questions and consider what is important now?
What is important for your future?
Your Dharma/Life Purpose?
1. What do you wish to Create?
2. What to you wish to be?
3. What is your motive?
4. Why?
This motive will help you build your solid Foundation that will allow your Dharma to withstand all obstacles and challenges.
It will help empower you to achieve your goals and dreams/
The WHY is stronger than any adversity, illness, and misfortune.
It will become your Purpose which your Soul knows at a higher level than the Ego
Action Steps
How do you define success, both personally and financially?
In Values lived?
Creatively?
Spiritually?Relationships?What is your Leagacy?
To Others? Family? Friends?
The World? Yourself?
What is your one thing you are most proud of achieving or trying to achieve?

Jungian therapy, Gestalt, Mindel Process Oriented Psychology and other spiritual or creative modalities.

Books on Past Lives: Dr Brain Weiss, Dr Michael Newton, Dr Linda Backman, Adam Apollo and my own essay Daeth and Rebirth in Cairo published in "Lifetimes" by Adam Apollo and the longer version on this Website.
Thomas Moore has written beautiful books on understanding and working with your Soul. "Care of the Soul" is his best known work.

Karma: Thoughts, Words, Deeds
The ancient Zoroastrian religion teaches living by: " Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds".
Karma is an enormous topic and its understandings vary from culture to culture.
In Peru, the Shamans said that you had to experience something in 62 different ways to fully clear the karma of the particular lesson or relationship theme.
Hinduism and Buddhism focus on Karma and reincarnation as processes of soul evolution and growth, healing, devotion, and service to others and to self taught as different forms of Yoga.
The ancient Egyptians had their 42 Laws of Ma'at as Guidance which I have written about in Goddess Festivals on the Website.
All cultures have a "Golden Rule" to live by - "Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
These are the Laws of Reciprocity and Balance, Truth and Justice, that are found in so many cultures and that Hale Makua also taught.
Sin means "missing the mark" or acting out of Alignment with Cosmic Spiritual Laws.
All cultures that teach Higher Purpose, Soul Evolution and Growth.
Cultures have different myths and stories of the Afterlife and the fear of where you end up after death, particularly if you "missed the mark" or accumulated more negative karma than positive karma.
Many scholars of religion and anthropologists explain our existential fear of death being the motivation and purpose of myths, beliefs, and rituals. Religions provide hope, assurance, guidance, and alleviation of fears, as well as motivation to live a good and moral life.
Many people stepping outside of the containers, boundaries, rules, and power of religions are finding their own autonomous Spiritual connection and relationship with their Soul and Higher Self. I hope you find processes to discover your own Inner Self/Higher Self, Soul, and Spiritual Connection through some of the offerings on this Website.
We must step out from fear and submission and discover our own true, authentic, power, and birthright, as Hale Mahua taught Hank Wesselman, and as all authentic spiritual teachers encourage. We can find inspiration from relgious texts and teachers, and live in harmony by following our hearts and basic ethical guidelines.
We play with semantics and limit our visions and experiences by not expanding the concept and experience of God, Brahman, Great Spirit, or Consciousness far enough to include the wide range of possibsle mystical and numinous experiences.
Enlightenment may come in moments, and eventually burst into a full flowering.
"Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull
of what you love.
It will not lead you astray."
-Rumi
