Mystery of the Cascade of Souls

When one reaches a high level of understanding in Mysticism they are granted access to even deeper mysteries of the faith. One such mystery is called the Cascade of Souls.

In early lessons of Mysticism it is understood that one Soul inhabits one form, and each Soul moves individually through the Hierarchy. Advanced Mysticism teaches that it may be more complicated than that. In fact, multiple Souls may inhabit one form, or area, or realm, and operate together through the Hierarchy. This is called the communion of Souls.

It is known that Transcendent Gods rule over intangible zones such as space, time, emotions, activities, and other supernatural or supraliminal spheres. Mystics wonder, for example, whether one Transcendent God governs all emotions or just the individual emotion interacting with an individual Soul? If so, then Mimics are operated by a communion of Souls toward cooperative rewards. We often use the scenario of a god of a rock, and a god of the field the rock lays in, and a god of the region where the field and the rock inhabit to explain the application of the Hierarchy in Life. Each Soul belongs to a different level in the Hierarchy and is subordinate to the greater one. Could it not be plausible, then, for one Soul to be the Mimic, another to be one of its emotions, and another to be one of its activities? And so a multitude of Souls is in collaboration for each person? One set says it is alright for multiple gods to live in communion in fields and nature, so why not accept that Souls can live in communion within one person? If Transcendent Gods are the second last rank before Paramount, and Paramount is supreme, then it stands to reason that they in fact could join into communion with lesser Souls, whether it assists them reach Paramount status, or maybe that is one the functions of a Transcendent, we have not solved yet.

Our faith states that a Soul may leave Oblivion into Life and then earn entrance into the Divine Realm. We always teach that this is a solo effort, but advanced Mystics know that it is not. In addition to working in contract with stronger gods in the Soul Trade one is also a bastion of even greater Souls assisting or contributing to your destiny in some way. This concept continues into an even more advanced lesson regarding the Paramount God, but that will not be shared here except to say, “What is at the beginning is at the end, and what is within is without. We are everything we need to be, want to be, and should be. We strive to achieve what we left behind, and we believe we lack what we always had. Only reaching the top will we ever find all of the answers, even though staying at the bottom seems just as likely to be revealing.” The Revelator.

Souls swarm in each realm and within each Mystic. We call this the Cascade of Souls.
