Souls leave imprints on other souls.

Your soul influences the souls of others, and it leaves a mark, so to speak. Your soul leaves a permanent imprint upon the soul of every other human with whom you are in contact. If you think upon this in depth, you will see a kind of evolutionary effect. Another soul gains character in part as a result of your soul. Another human being will approach life in a manner which is affected by contact with you, and that acquired approach to life in turn has an effect upon that person’s soul. Your soul affects another, therefore, by way of human experience. That is the link in the growth between two souls.

If two people do not seek a sense of peace and understanding between them, the soul of one has no impact upon the soul of another. If the two are intensely antagonistic toward one another, there is no spiritual impact. The result is neutral. There is no retrograde movement. In other words, one soul cannot pull another down. There is simply no growth. The only movement of a soul is forward, toward God. It is a brightening of the light. That is the only motion.

Therefore, the growth of one soul is very much tied in with the positive reactions of another human being. Your sense of continuity is ultimately measured through positive steps. The continuity is measured through love, foremost through love. It is love between people which empowers one soul to help another. Your soul, your spirit, your divine essence, works only as you yourself reach to another.
