Blood, the Physical Carrier of the Soul

"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, … And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off." – Leviticus 17:1, 10-14.

Symbolically, blood represents the fiery element of life. Blood is the soul's vehicle or physical sheath; blood atones for the soul, which is why Scripture insists that the life is in the blood. A body without a soul may exist, but is essentially lifeless.

Your bloodstream is your individualized extension of the River of Life operating within your physical body. The components of your bloodstream include plasma (the blood's liquid), red blood cells (erythrocytes, the oxygen carriers), white blood cells (leukocytes, the infection fighters), and platelets (thrombocytes, clot-forming).

Blood is thus the internal transport system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to your lungs and other tissues, and removing wastes to the kidneys and liver, which filter and cleanse the blood. Your heart, which is the Creative Impulse individualized within you physically, pumps the blood throughout your body.

Metaphysically, the blood's components are symbolic of the soul's functions — red blood cells represent wisdom, justice and rigor, and the white blood cells signify love, mercy or clemency. Blood platelets are associated with the three phases of the soul, from lesser to greater — appetitive soul, rational soul, and Oversoul.

The metaphysical symbols for the three types of platelets are highly suggestive of their nature — a square symbolizes the appetitive soul, an equilateral triangle symbolizes the rational soul, and a circle the Oversoul.

▢ The square symbol of the appetitive soul implies both a foursquare foundation and resistance in the recognizable dimensions — length/width, height/depth, and time.

△ The triangle symbol of the rational soul represents both a trinity and the flow from above to below, from heaven to earth, or from Oversoul to embodied rational soul and appetitive soul.

〇 The circle symmbol of the Oversoul signifies the unity of the One or the three-dimensional wheel that transforms into the spiral of ascension, extending into twenty-two dimensions, the number of letter-numbers in the Hebrew alphabet.

Metaphysically, each platelet is composed of soul substance and has a chemical "brain." The platelets record your desires, thinking and imagination. Every thought, emotion and imagining is recorded on the platelets, which chemically monitor and regulate how your emotions, thoughts and desires affect your body and aggregated soul debts.

Your thoughts, desires and imaginings, which reflect your creative faculties, affect the health of your physical blood. Pure blood platelets ensure physical health; impure platelets result in a host of diseases and lethal genetics. At physical death, you, the soul, take the records encoded onto the platelets with you. Thus, the blood forms a moment by moment snapshot of the soul's state and constantly records its progress.


Edna Lister on the Blood

The biblical statement that the "life is in the blood" deals with human sacrifices practiced world-wide, including virgin sacrifices, children given to bloodthirsty Middle-eastern pagan gods such as Moloch and Chemosh, the Aztecs, vampires who practice the ritual of drinking blood, and so on. From all those evil practices, the life sparks of the blood platelets of the innocent and the evil were and are mixed together. A sphere of fire in the Temple of Ara (the Altar, in the constellation Scorpio), has containers of the soul substance life sparks of those murdered in live sacrifices. This dates from from 250,000 years ago to the present. We must consider this life sparks-in-the-blood issue in our treatment of insanity, and those who are born mentally deficient.

The seven laws of Noah (the Noahide laws), which predated the laws as given to Moses at Mt. Sinai, are the following: Do not worship idols. Do not curse God. Establish courts of justice. Do not commit murder. Do not commit adultery or sexual immorality. Do not steal. Do not eat flesh torn from a living animal. Human sacrifice was considered so barbaric and evil it was not even mentioned.

With every prayer treatment concerning any of these issues, reach out with your Light-filled hands, palms opened wide facing each other, so the Guards can entice any floating life sparks that have been coaxed free of the platelets. You must, with your prayers, gather the life sparks the Guards have released from the bloodstreams of those who have been embalmed. This is a vast and ongoing work. This is a next important step in the fulfillment of the whole of the Magna Carta.

To restore the "stolen" platelet life sparks world-wide, creates balance. All cases of insanity in which the afflicted party is in any way a danger to himself or others involve platelets whose life sparks have been mixed together. Many such cases must wait until death of the physical to be resolved. Others can be lifted by treatments that coax by having Guards in charge of the afflicted soul stand by to aid you in coaxing them out, coaxing them home, as it were.

[One person asked how the life sparks in the blood platelets could become mixed together.] When one strikes a blow, especially to another's head, he invests his life sparks in the platelets of his victim's bloodstream. Amnesia is the shock-reaction to a blow to the head; the shock to the memory platelets in the victim's bloodstream can form a life-sparks-entity which easily causes a "wandering" mental vibration.

However, the treatment is the same for all cases, no matter what kind of injury is involved. You reach out to draw the embodied soul's platelets back, to gather them together in beach-ball-sized sphere of glittering life sparks, lift them as you gently say, "Come; we release you to the Father's Light," and the waiting Guards will receive the platelets to be cleansed of all negative memories in the fires of purification to be returned to the soul to whom they rightfully belong. — Edna Lister, May 15, 1970.
