What was it like for the people who sold their souls, and what did they gain from it?

This is another fascinating soul question on Quora.

Soul selling is a simplified name for the complex process of transferring Free Will from a person to Satan*.

The process of selling the soul is well described by a number of authors, including Goethe in the tragic play "Faust";

Faust

Oscar Wilde, in his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the film "Dorian Gray" 

The Picture of Dorian Gray

and me, in the novella Tomo and The Soul Catchers, which became a base for the screenplay Heaven**.

Tomo and The Soul Catchers

In each of these cases, Satan is ready to satisfy any desire of the victim in exchange for his/her soul.

For example, due to such a deal, Faust got limitless knowledge, Dorian - eternal youth, and Cora - seductive beauty.

So, in principle, we can say that these guys got what they wanted from earthly pleasures. However, is everything so simple? Or are there side effects?

Yes, they are.

The soul becomes a slave of the Head of Darkness*, losing its own "voice", the freedom of further choice and decision-making.

The good news is that the soul will not be punished for its "bad deeds", meaning it avoids karma. On the other hand, it will forever lose the opportunity to become the Creator, "produce" souls, and the opportunity to become "first", since Satan (which the soul eventually become) is always "second" to God.

Also, for a short time, the soul avoids Degradation and the risk of spiritual death for the loss of energy. On the other hand, it will run the risk of spiritual death as a punishment for cruelty.

A young soul might say, "I enjoy earthly pleasures, I hate making decisions and don't like karma at all, so this might be great for me." But in fact, Satan's "kindness" is a well-disguised evil, and in all of the stories listed, the protagonist encounters side effects shortly after the deal and is deeply disappointed in what he/she has done.

After the soul's Earthly existence, Satan will continue to “work” on it sending it to study or labor in the hardened worlds to achieve the energies and goals that He wants.

The soul will not have the opportunity to choose a planet, body, etc., and the habitat and shell of the body can be really terrible.

One way or another, the process of selling the soul or the temptations of Satan stretches over hundreds or even thousands of incarnations and does not necessarily end with a deal, since the majority of souls still choose the direction to the Light, leaving Satan empty-handed. This case of Satan chasing the soul for five incarnations, is well described by me in the screenplay Redemption**, based on my novel Redemption.

How does real-life karma work, and why does it affect some people but not others?

This is another major lighting theme that appeared on Quora.

Why is it important? Because some young souls may mistakenly think that everything is permitted and that there is no punishment for crimes.

So how does karma work in real life and why does it affect some people but not others? 

Short answer

Karma only works for souls with Free Will.  

FREE WILL

Karma does not work for souls without Free Will.

 NO FREE WILL

Longer answer

All young souls incarnating in a human body receive a precious gift from our Creator¹  — Free Will.

Free Will

Having this gift, they can choose the Spiritual Direction of their movement - towards Light² or towards Darkness³. There is also a sub-direction - Degradation, which is the worst case scenario and should be avoided.

The Universal Law of Karma (karma for short), like any Law, helps people correct their mistakes and move on.

Because most young souls are unwilling to study voluntarily, they are forced into what we would call punishment.

If the soul does not learn well and continues to make the same mistakes, the punishment will be tougher. At the same time, by the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution, it will be given the Choice of a further direction towards Light or Darkness.

In the case of the Choice of Light, which is more challenging than the Choice of Darkness, the soul will receive a renewal of its consciousness and "automatically" gain an understanding of what has been done wrong in the past. In other words, the person will receive a vision to voluntarily correct his/her mistakes.

Brad Anderson in his movie The Machinist (2004) skillfully described the mechanism of karma for a soul moving towards Light. Find my review of the movie.

However, in the case, if the soul will choose a direction toward Darkness, its consciousness will be brutalized and it will continue to develop its bad doings further, i.e. will become more skillful in "bad" deeds.

The Head of Darkness, Satan, is especially attentive to all those who have a tendency to constantly choose Darkness. Satan is the direct beneficiary of the soul's choice in favor of Darkness, as it receives a potential member of its Hierarchy.

But how practically Satan will drag the soul into His pool?

To catch the prey tightly Satan drops some earthly treasures in front of his prey. At this stage, the goal of the Head of Darkness is to make the soul become addicted. Whether, it's drugs, money, power, sex, etc. Everything goes.

However, even with the number of addictions, but with Free Will in hand, the person still has a chance to turn to the Light. Therefore, Satan's goal is to take this Will away from the soul.

At some point, a strongly addicted soul becomes so weak that it is unable to resist the next temptation of Satan and gives up its Free Will for the sake of another treasure. Now, this soul is fully belongs to Satan and Satan's Will.

The soul still keeps its personality, but feels, that a "someone" or "something" beyond his own intentions pushes him/ her for doings.

As the soul doesn't have its own Will and follows orders of Satan it doesn't have any Karma anymore. 

Therefore, from the outside it seems that the person who does evil to another does not bear any punishment.

Another group of souls without affect by karma are mature souls - missionaries. They made their Final Choice towards Darkness long time ago. They incarnate in the materialistic worlds like our Earth on the order of Satan. They move in the physical reality fast, without hesitation and thinking.

Summary

1. Karma works for souls moving towards Light, i.e. having Free Will. If they make a mistake they have to fix it

2. Karma doesn't work for souls that made their final Spiritual Choice towards Darkness, i.e. who lost Free Will. As the soul doesn't make any decisions, there is no punishment for its doings.

Does rebirth really happen?

The question "Does rebirth really happen?" again dedicated to reincarnation. And I would like to share with you my favorite answer by Bhavana Vashisht. with a few comments of my own.

Short answer: Yes, rebirth does happen and as humans, it is very important for us to know about it and learn to get out of it.

Long answer: Most of the major details (about the soul, proofs of soul, the science behind rebirth, way to get out of the rebirth cycle, etc.) have been provided below. Read till the end to get the most out of this answer.

The most reliable and authentic source to gain knowledge about reincarnation or rebirth is Bhagavad Gita. It gives a clear, logical explanation of the science of reincarnation. Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on a battlefield – which is a suitable place to discuss reincarnation as people confront death face to face in combats and common questions about life and the afterlife may arise. Before jumping into the fascinating details of reincarnation, it is important to understand the eternal part of every living being, i.e., the soul.

Soul – the Eternal Living Part

Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita (chapter 2) says, “That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul… The soul is unbreakable and incombustible; it can neither be dampened nor dried. It is everlasting, in all places, unalterable, immutable, and primordial… Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all.”

Proofs of the Presence of the Soul

Bhagavad Gita says that the soul is immortal and is never destroyed. As the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the soul within the body illuminate the entire body by consciousness. Without this consciousness, the body is nothing but a lump of dead matter. It is said that the soul is the driver of the body. When it leaves the body, all its functions stop, and it becomes useless within a fraction of a second. This can be observed when someone dies.

Also, as we can see with time, from childhood to adulthood, the body keeps changing, but something remains the same. The distinction between the conscious self (soul) and the body becomes more visible when we grow older. If we think more deeply about this, this can act as another proof of the presence of a living soul within us. 

Many scientists, researchers, and famous people have complete faith in the presence of the soul. As there are a lot of proofs and references but less space to write so this portion will be covered in another answer.

Core Principles behind Reincarnation

Bhagavad Gita says that souls cannot be slain even if the body is slain. But if this is the case, then what exactly happens to the soul? Lord Krishna beautifully explains, "The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die, nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed… Just as the embodied soul continuously passes from childhood to youth to old age, similarly, at the time of death, the soul passes into another body. The wise are not deluded by this… As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new one." These are very important lines that form the basic principles behind reincarnation. So, we can say that reincarnation is the transmigration of the soul from one body to another.

This is a great answer, however, a couple of important notes.

Note 1

Not only the physical body of a human is constantly changing, but also the sense of consciousness or the quality of a soul.

The quality of the soul fully depends on the energetic spectrum of the soul as well as the quantity of these energies.

This follows from the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution.

The quality of soul energies can even change to the opposite when a person makes such a Spiritual Choice, which changes the former Spiritual Direction* to the opposite.

For example, a person who follows the Values of Light makes a Spiritual Choice towards Darkness.

Therefore, we can call the Spiritual Choice also a Spiritual Trial.

A good example of how a highly Spiritual person had transformed into a vampire could be found in the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" by Francis Ford Coppola.  Please find details in my review of the movie.

Note 2

According to the newest information, a soul can be destroyed. 

However, this can be done only by the decision of the Supreme Creation, i.e. Creator of this soul.

This severe punishment is applied to parasitic people who do not want to give anything to others, but simply consume the resources of society or family and do this for four human lives in a row.

Other souls who do not deserve further existence are unnecessarily cruel souls . They also get a number of chances to improve themselves. If these chances are ignored for several lifetimes, the souls receive the death penalty.

During the procedure all soul's energies are cleared from their matrix and the personality leaves existence. This procedure is extremely painful.

Note 3

In my feature screenplay The Return of Melissa the protagonist is a scientist who didn't understand the spiritual matters regarding a soul, although he believed in God, and even competed with him. 

With his ignorance regarding soul he went to an experiment, that not only horrified his psyche but also proved him the existence of a soul and the power of its Creator.

There are two Spiritual Directions: towards Light and towards Darkness.  Between them is sub-direction: Degradation.

Support for Writers and Screenwriters

We have to admit that in developed countries the popularity of the church and other religious institutions is rapidly declining. Therefore, people have to look for answers to their internal questions in alternative sources of information, that is, in books and films. 

Writer © Jacklyn A. Lo

It takes at least a year to write a quality novel or feature film script. Very often, independent authors do their work at their own expense, with the clear knowledge that their time and resources will never be compensated.

The worst situation in the film industry is where ideas are treated like garbage, and stolen ideas are a common way to succeed if you have the financial means but no creativity.

At best, an aspiring writer will get a paid job in a film studio. Unfortunately, this studio will require him/her to write those episodes that bring in the most monetary profit and not the development of the human consciousness.

Thus, governmental support should be organized for those writers and screenwriters who are able to present issues of self-knowledge¹  in an understandable and entertaining way. For example, it could be a presentation of not only the physical and mental goals of the protagonist but also spiritual quests.

Note^1: spiritual, metaphysical

Recognition of the Energy Healers 

At present, very little is known about healers such as prana-, energy- and especially spiritual healers.

They usually don't receive any government support to run their practice, and health insurance doesn't cover their bills, so healers have to work elsewhere to make a living.

We must understand that the drugs (chemo) that we currently use very often cannot help and also cause severe side effects. And subsequent surgeries are associated with an even greater risk to the physical body.

At the same time, a skilled healer is able to cure the disease without side effects.

The poor recognition of healers comes from a narrow view of the human body, where Western medical schools do not provide any knowledge about the human energy structure.

@Subtle Energy Bodies of Aura

In the Western World, raising awareness of the human energy structure can start with Chinese traditional medicine and  Indian Ayurveda.

Reincarnation Concept

All humanity develops according to the Universal Laws of Evolution and Change. No one, no person, no organization is an exception.

However, religious institutions remain in one place. Providing outdated spiritual information, they are unable to meet the needs of the rapidly developing modern man.

The dogma approach does not correspond to the ever-increasing energy potential of a person who leaves a church empty-handed - without knowing "Who I am."

Because of this, some spiritual seekers break away from the conservative "mother" church and organize more modern congregations. However, as a rule, after the death of the founder, the renewed faith is also "frozen" and becomes as conservative as the "main" church.

Hint: why don't you at least bring back the concept of Reincarnation, with which you could teach your flock additional concepts such as Karma, Free Will, Fate, and perhaps, Ascension?

Returning to the Original Question: Why War?

God, our Spiritual Father, and Head of Light, is against war. Although, in order to teach²  us, He must follow the Universal Law of Karma.

If we take the opportunity to study voluntarily, everything will go smoothly and we will enjoy peace. However, if the chance is missed, we will face a harsher reality, where war is a form of punishment.

Satan, as the Head of Darkness, is the direct beneficiary of the war. War is one of His main Values. He takes care of possible leaders and candidates for participation in hostilities, as well as ordering a program to run a war scenario.

And, of course, there is a choice behind everything, and on a larger scale, it is a Spiritual Choice.

Why War? Summary /Part A

What Spiritual Choice do you think Volodymyr  Zelenskyy would have made on February 24 if twenty years ago he would have gone to work as a lawyer for whom he studied?

I think his Spiritual Choice would have been different, our current moment would be different and the future of humanity would have been different. 

Fig.1. Levels of Consciousness: Artist and Lawyer

We must recognize that Creativity is of far greater value than Logic or Analysis, and Artists* have the highest level of consciousness (between 75 and 100 levels).

All other professions (including lawyers) are a reflection of a lower level of consciousness.

Why War? Summary / Part A

• Our Earth is just one of the countless planets in the materialistic worlds of Our Spiritual Father, the Head of Light*

Universe ©

• The creation of our planet and the people on it is the result of the need for a certain type of daily energies and a certain type of souls

• The daily energies come from the thoughts, speech, and doings of humanity, where the highest quality of energy belongs to the "Treasury Fund" of people, i.e. Artists.

• Since the Artists have the highest level of consciousness, this allows them to have a broader vision of not only the Material Reality but also the hidden one, i.e. Metaphysical.

• However, there is a lack of recognition of the Artists’ value, so the Artists suffer from a lack of money and respect. Therefore, instead of developing their own creative projects, they are forced to look for a job with a predictable salary, which means under someone's lower strategic vision.

• The Head of Light demands of us to have more souls moving towards Light, but the Spiritual Choice of Light is very challenging. This is especially difficult to do in an environment that supports superficial vision, that is, the exaggerated power of money and other values ​​of the material world.

• As long as we meet the requirements of the CEO of Lights, we will enjoy peace and prosperity. However, when the quality of everyday energies and the quality of souls deteriorate sharply, we get an extreme, i.e. WAR.

• The Spiritual Choice of a Leader is very important, especially in wartime. 

• At a certain point in history (for example now) this can lead either to the development of the Values of Light (Choice of Light) or to the failure of the entire project of the planet Earth and humanity on it (Choice of Darkness).

*CEO of Lights = God = Head of lights = Our Spiritual Father

But are there any means to prevent WAR?

YES, indeed!

Our Spiritual Father always provides us chances to prevent a WAR. 

In the case, if the chance is taken we continue a peaceful movement forward, but if we missed the chance for voluntary improvement we face harsh consequences, where one of those is WAR, i.e. suffering of a big amount of people.

You ask: "And if the war has already begun?"

Our Spiritual Father is always watching over us, and He can stop the war run by Satan at any moment. 

So what needs to be improved? Let's make a list.

List of Improvements

• Raise the value of Independent Thinking

• Do not abuse Political Power

• Improving Women's Rights

• Raising the value of Art and Artists

• Financial support for Writers

• Recognition for Energy Healers

• Reincarnation concept

We shall go through the List of Improvement in detail in the coming Part B.
