I asked Archangel Michael in my last reading through Linda Dillon on Nov. 11, 2015, to explain how “soul” and “spirit” could somehow be different, separate, etc., as a recent channeled message through Ronna Herman seemed to imply.

AAM answers very carefully, I think so as not to give any grounds for offense. The conversation as an exploration between an archangel and his servant is interesting unto itself. It’s also interesting in showing how clarity is sought and obtained from an archangel. And it is also so for the answer to the question itself.

Steve Beckow: You said that through Ronna that “the soul is neither spirit nor matter. It consists of manifested white fire seed having sent forth as a divine spark of our Father God into the spirit cosmic womb of our beloved Mother,” etc. (1)

The soul is not spirit?

Archangel Michael: That is correct.

S: Really!

AAM: Well, the soul is spirit and the soul is spirit assuming and transcending form.

S: Right. But spirit is not form, right? Spirit is transcendental.

AAM: That is correct.

S: And soul is transcendental?

AAM: That is correct.

S: Boy, how do you transcend the transcendental?

AAM: With love.

S: (laughing) Oh, you really can do that!

AAM: Yes, you can, dear heart.

S: The Atman [the Self, the Son, the Christ] is the Father and there is nothing beyond the Father?

AAM: But that does not mean that it cannot assume into or descend to your, what you are thinking of as de-scension, into form.

S: So, let me just say then that I am not clear about that: the soul is neither spirit nor matter. I would’ve said myself that there is nothing higher than the soul except where the soul came from, that is, the Father.

AAM: That is correct.

S: So, what do you mean by spirit? Can you define “spirit” for me used in this connection, “The soul is neither spirit nor matter.”

AAM: Think of it in this way. “Spirit” is pure transcendent energy. When you want spirit to be both spirit and have the capacity to assume and anchor into form, then that terminology is the “soul”.

S: Okay, thank you. That has done it for me.

So let me recap here: spirit is transcendental and formless; when, individuated as a point of consciousness or awareness, it descends into form, into matter, mater, Mother. We then call it in its altered (individuated) state, the soul.
