How to Learn More About Soul Levels of Consciousness

Understanding our Soul levels of consciousness can sometimes help us shift into an awareness of new ideas and new concepts. Sometimes we can be stuck in our problems and lack a higher perspective – moving ‘up’ in our perception can help.

Understanding Soul Levels of Consciousness

When we’re stuck or facing difficulty, it can be hard to see past the problem. Our emotions, memories, or pain can cloud our vision, making it difficult to perceive life from a higher perspective, or even to realize that Soul levels of consciousness exist at all.

Sometimes, our emotional reactions prevent us from seeing both sides of a situation. Other times, we’re triggered by an experience that blinds us to what’s really happening in the present.

Struggling to see a higher perspective is part of being human. We’re all doing our best to survive, live, and even thrive through life’s challenges. Yet it can often feel as though something invisible keeps blocking our path forward.

That’s when it helps to pause and view life from a higher, Soul-level perspective.

Begin with Your Current Point of View

A change in perspective often begins by stepping into someone else’s shoes.

When we do this, we activate our mirror neurons — the part of the brain that helps us empathize and sense another person’s experience. Empathic people do this naturally, which is why they often feel others’ emotions so deeply.

Disagreements, whether between individuals or even cultures, often stem from different perceptions of the same facts. When each person is fully invested in their own viewpoint, it can create misunderstanding, tension, and sometimes even lasting conflict.

This attachment to our own perception can be hard to let go of, especially when there’s a secondary gain, a hidden benefit we receive from staying stuck in a certain belief, behavior, or circumstance. We may not like the situation, but some part of us gets something from it, so we stay.

As pediaa.com defines it:

“Perception is the way you think about or understand someone or something. It is also what you interpret from your five senses — touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. However, perception is colored by past experiences, feelings, and thoughts. The same scene can be understood in two different ways by two different individuals.”

A 3-Step Process to Shift Perception

So, how do we shift our perception when we’re caught in a situation that feels limiting or difficult?

Here’s a simple three-step process that can help:

1. Get clear on the facts.
   Make sure you fully understand the situation clearly enough that you can explain it to someone else.
2. Question your reactions.
   Ask yourself, Why am I reacting this way? What emotions are being triggered? What past experiences might this situation be reminding me of?
3. Try seeing it from a different point of view.
   Spend time imagining how the other person might see things, even if you don’t agree.

Once you’ve practiced this human-level awareness, you can expand it even further, to your Soul’s perspective.

Your Soul-Level Perspective

Your Soul’s perspective is very different from your human one.

From the Soul’s point of view, incarnation is an opportunity to experience itself. The Soul is here to individuate, learn, and grow through contrast.

If your Soul were to ask three questions about this lifetime, they might be:

• What does my karmic load feel like this time around, and are there opportunities for clearing it?
• Which key relationships will help me grow the most?
• How can I plant seeds in my Akashic Record for future experiences?

Notice how much these questions differ from our everyday ones about facts, feelings, or reactions.

The Soul’s curiosity is expansive. It doesn’t label experiences as “good” or “bad.” To the Soul, everything is simply an opportunity to learn and evolve.

In a sense, the Soul views Earth like a vast, colorful adventure — eager to taste, touch, and feel it all. Its only goal is to experience, individuate, and move forward on its journey.

The Soul Individuates by Experiencing Everything

Think of individuation like a dog joining a new family. At first, the dog doesn’t know the routines or expectations. It observes, listens, and gradually learns how to fit in with its new “pack.”

Dogs, unlike humans, come from a more collective consciousness. Their Souls learn by joining, observing, and harmonizing, and then bringing that learning back to the collective when they transition.

As the dog matures, it will fit into the routines and styles of behavior that the family or ‘pack’ exhibit. It wants to meld and be part of the energy of the pack to feel safe and loved – and to survive, of course.

Humans, on the other hand, have more influence on the world, and with that comes karma. We carry emotional imprints from lifetime to lifetime until we’ve integrated our lessons.

The Soul Records Life Emotionally

Every lifetime leaves emotional imprints, carried back by what’s known as the Causal Energy Body. This subtle field records experiences and returns them to the Soul’s higher consciousness.

So, whether your life feels smooth or difficult, joyful or challenging, your Soul records it all as data, as part of its vast Akashic archive. To your Soul, every experience contributes to the big picture of its evolution.

Meanwhile, as incarnated humans, we’re immersed in the now. We’re focused on what’s right in front of us. The challenge — and the opportunity — is learning to bridge these two viewpoints.

Meeting the Two Perspectives in the Middle

Think of your Soul as your overarching awareness. It’s eternal, vast, and fully informed of your past lives.

Your human self, however, experiences just this one lifetime, moment by moment.

To the Soul, all experience is fascinating. It doesn’t judge or resist; it simply feels, senses, and learns.

When we’re able to shift between the “big Soul” perspective and the “small human” awareness, we open a powerful doorway for healing and understanding.

Seeing Your Present Moment as Part of the Whole Journey

As someone with intuitive abilities, I became aware of subtle energies earlier on in life. Like many sensitive people, I pushed those experiences aside when I was younger. Eventually, I could no longer ignore them, so I began training with spiritual teachers — and that’s how I discovered I could read the Akashic Records.

Once I learned to connect with the Records, I began to understand the higher purpose behind my experiences. My Soul-level consciousness began to inform my everyday life. It’s still a work in progress — but one anyone can learn to cultivate.

You can begin this process too. The most effective way I’ve found to access your Soul levels of consciousness is by exploring your personal Akashic Record.

Bringing Your Soul-Level Wisdom into Daily Life

As I mentioned earlier in this article, the Soul-level consciousness is interested in questions that we rarely think about in daily life, such as: –

• How can I clear my karmic load this time around?
• Why am I reacting this way?
• What pattern or theme might my Soul be exploring through this situation?

These questions invite profound insight. Through the Akashic Records work you may discover that:

• You’re clearing a karmic pattern that’s been repeating across lifetimes.
• You’ve reconnected with someone from a past life to heal or learn in a new way.
• Your Soul set up this life lesson as a way to develop a specific quality or strength.

As the Law of One reminds us, Karma is a catalyst that keeps repeating until it is no longer needed.

When we release energetic blocks and restrictions, we free ourselves from old patterns and gain the ability to see through a broader, more compassionate lens.

After all, we are all Souls on the same journey, learning, growing, and remembering who we truly are.
