Some will immediate notice that this word, Soloverse is a portmanteau: a combination of two word concepts. Solo, meaning: a single iteration, specific, and an occurrence pertaining to one thing. Verse, short for Universe, refers to the collective of ever-present in physical reality, but of course, I am also using this concept to include the meta-physical totality, as well.
SoloVerse as a concept relay’s an important notion of individual unity. It is the place of personal agency that a person issues decisions about their understanding and eventually choices about the reasoning for their emotions or behaviors, as well. It is particularly useful as a discussion term to acknowledge the unique intersection of psychological and social influences.
Within the Applied Michael Approach™, this notion combines the perceptual influences, (including the Unconscious ones) of Essence (Soul), Personality (Conscious Identity one identifies with as their name or nickname) and the Ego/Sub-Persona’s that is a combination of our animal needs and our social presentation.
Essence – Card 58 = Soul/Spirit
Personality – Card 56 = Personality +Pole=Self
Ego – Card 56 = Neg Pole Ego
All of these elements are nested, and indelible part of the TAO in its ALL/ONE unity = Card 0. For so called ‘spiritual seekers’ this combined idea allows one to speak somewhat coherently with those who are not. To state that one is a multiple of impulses that influences is a common ground that makes for a conversation starting place. But this notion may also allow for a variability of meaning and content that could be explored between those who wish deeper interaction.
Yet within any human life, according the tenants of the Michael Teachings (OMT), inward awareness of all the parts – even calling it communication between aspects, happens only in the presence of altruistic Self Love (Card 57) known as AGAPE. From this place, of what Psychologist Carl Roger’s labeled as “unconditional positive regard” does not mean bathing yourself, or anyone else, for that matter in some syrupy or smarmy sense of fawning or permissiveness. Rather, it is the recognition that all beings coexist and have potentially the same rights, dignities, struggles and strivings, as the Buddhists say, “of all living beings.”
As a Soul Evolves (See the Soul Age progression of Cards), awareness of one’s Soloverse becomes more apparent to the waking self. Indeed, conscious agency and accountability increase as one understands a paradoxical nature of the Physical Plane: You are the source of all your choices, no matter what the events, persons, conditions, or powers are present, that cause them to be there. As Soul Age and individual maturity expand with age, evolution, conscious-awareness, and conscience, one will become invariably more likely to understand that one is as deserved and needs, Self-Love. Not as some egotistical adornment of vanity or reward, but of the generation of grace, prana, vibration, and dignity within themselves and for themselves. Again paradoxically, one bathing in the energy of self love is not egotistical, selfish, or superior. Real satiation of this substance of the TAO, fills one’s “cup” to speak referentially to the New Testament, where one experiences an abundance that is unnecessary to hoard and naturally expansive to share.
