The Nature of the Soul and Human Experience

Nick Sasaki: Welcome everyone. Today, we’ll explore the soul’s journey, its purpose, and how it relates to our human experience. Sheila, let’s start with you. How do you see the relationship between our soul and our human life?

Sheila Gillette: Thank you, Nick. The soul is eternal, and our human life is just one chapter in a much larger journey. The purpose of being human is to experience growth, expansion, and learning. We come into this world with a purpose, even if it’s not always clear. Through Theo, I’ve channeled that we’re here to align with our soul’s truth and evolve spiritually by navigating the challenges and opportunities we encounter.

Nick Sasaki: Esther, how do you view the soul’s purpose from the Abraham perspective?

Esther Hicks: Abraham teaches that the soul is always in a state of becoming, always expanding. Our human experience is about joyfully aligning with that expansion. The contrast we experience—what we call problems, challenges—are simply opportunities for growth. The soul knew, before coming here, that it would face these contrasts. Our purpose is to navigate them while staying in alignment with who we really are, which is pure positive energy.

Nick Sasaki: Dolores, your work with past-life regression has explored the soul’s journey across many lifetimes. How do you see the purpose of the human experience?

Dolores Cannon: From my work, I’ve seen that souls choose their lifetimes and the lessons they want to learn. The Earth is like a school, and each life is a class we attend. We go through many incarnations to learn lessons, to grow spiritually, and to balance our karmic energy. It’s all about evolving to a higher level of consciousness, and every life serves a specific purpose in that grand evolution.

Nick Sasaki: Neale, in your Conversations with God, you speak of the soul’s relationship with divinity. How does this fit into our human journey?

Neale Donald Walsch: What I’ve come to understand is that the soul is constantly seeking to express itself fully in the physical realm. We are here to remember who we truly are, which is divine. Life isn’t about trying to get something, but about realizing that we already are everything we seek. We’re here to experience ourselves as creators, and that means we are continuously expanding our awareness of our divine nature.

Nick Sasaki: Joe, you’ve studied the mind-body connection extensively. How do you view the soul’s role in this process?

Dr. Joe Dispenza: The soul’s journey, in my view, is deeply connected to the mind-body relationship. We’re here to use our consciousness to shape our reality. By aligning our thoughts and emotions with our soul’s purpose, we can create health, happiness, and transformation. The key is in understanding that we are not victims of our circumstances. Our soul, through the mind and body, can access the quantum field to create the life we desire.

Nick Sasaki: That’s an incredible range of perspectives. Sheila, based on what you’ve heard, how do you see these ideas fitting into your understanding of the soul’s journey?

Sheila Gillette: All of these perspectives resonate deeply with the messages I’ve channeled through Theo. The soul is always expanding, always evolving. We are here to align with that higher truth, and each challenge, as Esther said, is a contrast that helps us grow. The key is remembering that we are powerful creators, and as Neale mentioned, we are divine beings having a human experience, not the other way around.

Nick Sasaki: It sounds like everyone here agrees that the soul’s purpose is growth, expansion, and conscious creation. We’ll explore more of these themes as we continue. Thank you all for these enlightening insights! Let's move to our next topic.

The Power of Thoughts and Energy

Nick Sasaki: Now that we’ve established the nature of the soul and its purpose, let’s dive into the power of thoughts and energy. Sheila, how do our thoughts shape our reality, and how can we align them with our soul’s purpose?

Sheila Gillette: Thoughts are powerful. They are vibrational signals we send out into the universe. Through Theo, I’ve learned that the energy behind our thoughts creates our experiences. When we align our thoughts with love, positivity, and higher consciousness, we manifest experiences that resonate with that energy. It’s about maintaining an energetic frequency that reflects your soul’s truth.

Nick Sasaki: Esther, Abraham speaks often about the Law of Attraction. How do thoughts and energy interact within that framework?

Esther Hicks: The Law of Attraction is simple: like attracts like. What you think about, you bring about. Every thought vibrates at a frequency, and when you focus on something—whether it’s positive or negative—you attract more of it into your life. The key is to focus on what makes you feel good. When you’re aligned with joy, love, and abundance, you become a vibrational match for those experiences, and the universe delivers.

Nick Sasaki: Dolores, in your work, you’ve explored the impact of energy on past lives and karma. How does that energy carry through lifetimes?

Dolores Cannon: Energy is eternal, just like the soul. The thoughts, actions, and emotions we carry in one lifetime can create energetic imprints that follow us into the next. This is often what we see as karmic patterns. If we don’t resolve certain issues or align our energy with love and forgiveness in one lifetime, we come back to work through them again. Thoughts and intentions are like seeds we plant, and they grow across lifetimes. That’s why it’s so important to be conscious of our energy now.

Nick Sasaki: Neale, you’ve written that we are creators in our own right. How does thought-energy factor into that creation?

Neale Donald Walsch: Thoughts are the beginning of creation. What we think, we feel. What we feel, we experience. Our thoughts send out energy into the universe, which responds by reflecting those thoughts back to us. The universe is essentially a giant mirror. If we focus on scarcity or fear, we create more of that in our lives. But if we focus on abundance, love, and peace, that’s what we’ll experience. It’s a divine partnership between our soul and the universe.

Nick Sasaki: Joe, your work on the mind-body connection often highlights how thoughts affect our physical health. Can you elaborate on the science behind this?

Dr. Joe Dispenza: Absolutely. The brain doesn’t know the difference between a real experience and a thought. When you think a thought, especially a repeated one, it changes the brain’s neural pathways. This affects the body’s chemistry and biology. Negative thoughts can trigger stress responses, leading to disease. But when we cultivate positive thoughts—gratitude, love, compassion—we signal the body to heal, regenerate, and align with higher frequencies. It’s all about training the mind to think in ways that serve our health and well-being.

Nick Sasaki: Sheila, hearing these perspectives, what additional insights would Theo offer about the interaction between thoughts and energy?

Sheila Gillette: Theo has often said that thoughts are like prayers—they are energy sent out into the universe, and they are answered. Whether we’re aware of it or not, we’re always co-creating with the universe. Our challenge is to become more conscious of the energy we’re putting out. When we do that, we align with our highest potential and manifest the life our soul truly desires. It's about focusing on thoughts that empower us and release those that limit us.

Nick Sasaki: Thank you all. It’s fascinating how our thoughts, whether in the form of energy, karma, or biology, shape the experiences we manifest. Let’s continue with this exploration in our next topic.

Relationships as Mirrors for Growth

Nick Sasaki: We’ve discussed the power of thoughts and energy, but relationships also play a key role in our growth. Let’s dive into the idea that relationships are mirrors reflecting our inner world. Sheila, can you start us off with how Theo views relationships as a tool for personal and spiritual growth?

Sheila Gillette: Absolutely. Theo teaches that every relationship we have is a reflection of our inner state. The people we encounter—whether they bring joy or challenge—are mirrors showing us aspects of ourselves that we may not see otherwise. Relationships serve as catalysts for growth. If we’re attracting challenging people or situations, it’s an opportunity to look inward and ask, “What is this situation teaching me? What part of myself do I need to heal or address?” The purpose of relationships is to evolve our souls through love, forgiveness, and understanding.

Nick Sasaki: Esther, Abraham often speaks about how relationships reflect our vibration. Can you elaborate on how relationships serve as mirrors?

Esther Hicks: Yes, as Abraham teaches, every relationship is a vibrational match to where you are in that moment. If you’re in a place of joy, you will attract joyful people. If there’s resistance or unhealed energy, you will attract people or situations that highlight that. It’s all about vibrational alignment. The people around you are reflecting back your dominant vibration. That’s why it’s important to focus on your own alignment first—when you’re aligned with who you really are, your relationships will naturally reflect that higher vibration.

Nick Sasaki: Dolores, your work with regression shows how relationships often carry karmic ties. How do past lives influence our present relationships?

Dolores Cannon: Relationships can be deeply karmic. In my past-life regression work, I’ve seen that many of the people in our lives today—family members, lovers, even adversaries—are souls we’ve known before. We reincarnate together, over and over, to resolve unfinished business or to help one another grow. If there’s conflict, it’s often because there’s a lesson or karmic debt that needs to be worked through. These relationships, especially the challenging ones, are key to our spiritual evolution. They push us to learn lessons of forgiveness, patience, and unconditional love.

Nick Sasaki: Neale, you’ve written that relationships are not about what we get but about what we give. How does this fit into the idea of relationships as mirrors?

Neale Donald Walsch: I believe relationships are the grandest opportunity for soul growth. They are not about what we can extract from the other person but about what we can give and experience through the act of giving. When we approach relationships from a place of abundance, we are no longer in the space of need, but rather in the space of offering. What we offer in love, in kindness, is reflected back to us. The other person becomes a mirror, showing us the love we already have within ourselves. When we understand that relationships are opportunities for us to express our highest selves, we begin to see the divine in everyone we encounter.

Nick Sasaki: Joe, in your work, you often speak about how emotional experiences in relationships affect our bodies. How do you see relationships contributing to our physical and emotional well-being?

Dr. Joe Dispenza: Relationships have a profound impact on our health. Emotional experiences, especially in relationships, can trigger physiological changes in the body. Positive, loving relationships release chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine, which promote healing and well-being. On the other hand, unresolved emotional conflicts in relationships can lead to stress, which affects our health negatively. But when we realize that relationships are opportunities for growth, as everyone here has mentioned, we can approach them differently. Instead of seeing conflict as something that harms us, we can see it as a chance to heal, both emotionally and physically, by changing how we respond to it.

Nick Sasaki: Sheila, how does Theo suggest we handle difficult relationships that reflect something within us that we need to heal?

Sheila Gillette: Theo advises that we approach difficult relationships with compassion and curiosity. When someone triggers us, it’s not about them—it’s about what they’re showing us that needs healing within ourselves. Instead of reacting with anger or frustration, we can ask, “What is this person reflecting to me? What do I need to address within myself?” By doing this, we shift from blame to empowerment. Relationships, even the challenging ones, become opportunities for deep healing and growth. Ultimately, we’re here to learn love, and every interaction is a chance to embody that.

Nick Sasaki: That’s a powerful way to reframe relationships—as opportunities to heal and evolve. Thank you all for these valuable insights on how relationships are mirrors for our growth. Let’s continue to the next topic.

Living in Alignment with Divine Timing

Nick Sasaki: We’ve talked about relationships and the power of thought, but another key theme in spiritual growth is divine timing. Let’s explore how living in alignment with divine timing can transform our lives. Sheila, how does Theo explain the concept of divine timing?

Sheila Gillette: Divine timing is about trusting that everything unfolds in perfect alignment with the highest good. Theo has often said that while we may have our own plans, the soul operates on a different timeline, one that’s aligned with divine wisdom. When we surrender control and trust the flow of life, we allow the universe to bring us what we need at exactly the right time. This requires patience and faith, knowing that even when things don’t go as we expect, they are happening for a reason. Every experience, delay, or shift is part of a bigger divine plan.

Nick Sasaki: Esther, how does Abraham explain the role of divine timing in the manifestation process?

Esther Hicks: Abraham teaches that divine timing is about vibrational alignment. When you’re in alignment with who you really are, the things you want naturally come to you in the perfect timing. The universe is always responding to your vibration, and when you’re ready—emotionally, mentally, vibrationally—what you’ve asked for will manifest. But often, we get impatient. We think, "Why hasn’t this happened yet?" But in reality, we’re not yet in full alignment with it. The key is to relax, trust, and enjoy the process, knowing that the universe always delivers at the right moment.

Nick Sasaki: Dolores, through your regressions, you’ve explored how life plans are set before we incarnate. How does that connect to the concept of divine timing?

Dolores Cannon: Before we incarnate, we plan the major events of our lives with the help of spirit guides. We choose the lessons we want to learn, the people we’ll meet, and even the challenges we’ll face. However, these things don’t always happen when we want them to—they unfold according to a divine plan. I’ve seen through past-life regressions that delays or obstacles are often set in place to give us time to grow and prepare for what’s coming. It’s about trusting that there’s a higher wisdom guiding us, even when we don’t fully understand it.

Nick Sasaki: Neale, you’ve said that "There are no coincidences, only divine timing." Can you elaborate on how you see this concept playing out in our everyday lives?

Neale Donald Walsch: Absolutely. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from my Conversations with God is that everything is happening for a reason, at exactly the right time. We may not see the reason immediately, but there is a divine orchestration at play. When we let go of the need to control outcomes, we open ourselves to divine timing. Instead of forcing things to happen, we allow the universe to bring us what we need when we’re ready to receive it. It’s not about sitting back and doing nothing, but about taking inspired action while trusting that the timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t appear that way.

Nick Sasaki: Joe, in your work, you often speak about how alignment affects not just the mind, but the body as well. How does divine timing relate to our physical and emotional healing?

Dr. Joe Dispenza: Divine timing plays a huge role in healing, whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual. Many people get frustrated when their healing doesn’t happen instantly. But from a biological standpoint, the body needs time to process, regenerate, and align with the energy of healing. When we’re constantly in a state of impatience or frustration, we actually block the healing process. Divine timing allows us to trust that our healing is unfolding perfectly, even if it’s not on our desired timeline. The body responds to the energy we hold, so when we align our thoughts and emotions with patience and trust, we create the conditions for true healing to occur.

Nick Sasaki: Sheila, how can people better align themselves with divine timing and avoid feeling frustrated or impatient?

Sheila Gillette: Theo advises that the best way to align with divine timing is to practice patience and trust in the process. When we feel impatient, it’s often because we’re attached to a specific outcome or timeline. But life isn’t about instant gratification—it’s about growth and evolution. When we trust that everything is unfolding for our highest good, we can release control and flow with the timing of the universe. Meditation, gratitude, and focusing on the present moment are great tools to help align with divine timing. By being present, we allow the universe to work through us and bring forth what is meant for us at the right time.

Nick Sasaki: Thank you, Sheila. This discussion on divine timing really brings home the importance of trust, patience, and alignment in our lives. It’s a beautiful reminder that the universe is always working in our favor, even if we can’t see it immediately. Let’s move to our final topic.

Personal Empowerment and Healing

Nick Sasaki: Now that we’ve covered divine timing, let’s talk about personal empowerment and the role it plays in healing. Sheila, Theo emphasizes that we have the power to heal ourselves. Can you explain how we can tap into this inner power?

Sheila Gillette: Theo teaches that we are all creators, and that includes creating our own healing. We have the power within us to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The key is understanding that our thoughts and emotions are energy, and this energy can either help or hinder the healing process. When we align our thoughts with love, forgiveness, and positivity, we open up to the healing energy of the universe. Our bodies are designed to heal, and when we trust in that design and take responsibility for our own well-being, we empower ourselves to experience transformation at all levels.

Nick Sasaki: Esther, Abraham often speaks about how empowerment comes from aligning with your inner being. How does this lead to healing?

Esther Hicks: Abraham teaches that well-being is your natural state. When you’re aligned with who you truly are—your inner being—you are in a state of allowing. This means you are letting the well-being of the universe flow to you and through you. Healing happens when you release resistance, which is often caused by negative thoughts or emotions. The more you focus on feeling good and raising your vibration, the more you allow healing to take place naturally. It’s all about alignment. When you’re in alignment, everything else—health, joy, abundance—follows.

Nick Sasaki: Dolores, you’ve worked with people through past-life regressions to heal karmic wounds. How does understanding past lives contribute to personal empowerment and healing?

Dolores Cannon: Understanding past lives is crucial for healing. Many of the issues we face in this lifetime—whether they are physical, emotional, or relational—can have roots in past-life experiences. When we explore those lifetimes through regression, we gain insight into the karmic patterns or unresolved energy that we carry with us. By bringing these patterns to the surface, we can consciously choose to release them, freeing ourselves from the past and allowing healing to occur. This awareness empowers us to take control of our current life and make choices that align with our soul’s growth and well-being.

Nick Sasaki: Neale, in your conversations with God, you’ve written that we have the power to create our own reality. How does this concept empower us to heal ourselves?

Neale Donald Walsch: Healing begins with the realization that we are not victims of our circumstances. We are the creators of our experience. When we understand that our thoughts, beliefs, and choices shape our reality, we empower ourselves to make conscious decisions that lead to healing. God has said, “You are creating your life moment by moment,” and this includes your health and well-being. When we align with this truth, we begin to see that healing is not something that happens to us—it’s something we participate in. We become active co-creators in our healing journey, choosing thoughts, actions, and emotions that support our well-being.

Nick Sasaki: Joe, you’ve done extensive work on the mind-body connection, especially in terms of how thoughts and emotions affect our health. How can people use this understanding to empower their healing?

Dr. Joe Dispenza: The science shows that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. When you change your thoughts, you change your biology. Your body is constantly responding to the signals your brain sends it. Negative thoughts and emotions create stress, which leads to inflammation and disease. But when you shift your thoughts to more empowering ones—like gratitude, love, and joy—you activate healing processes in the body. The key is to move beyond the habitual thinking that keeps you stuck in stress or illness and to train your mind to focus on the possibility of healing. This is personal empowerment. It’s about taking control of your thoughts and emotions to create a new reality for your body.

Nick Sasaki: Sheila, based on these insights, how can people practically apply the concept of personal empowerment in their everyday lives for healing?

Sheila Gillette: Theo encourages us to begin by taking responsibility for our thoughts and emotions. Healing starts with self-awareness. When we recognize that we have the power to choose our thoughts, we can shift from fear, anger, or negativity to love, peace, and positivity. Daily practices like meditation, affirmations, and gratitude can help us stay in alignment with our soul’s truth. Theo also teaches that forgiveness—both of ourselves and others—is a powerful tool for healing. When we release old wounds and open ourselves to the present moment, we create the space for healing to occur naturally. Empowerment comes from knowing that we are not powerless—we are creators of our experience, including our health.

Nick Sasaki: Thank you, Sheila. It’s clear that personal empowerment plays a vital role in healing, whether it’s through our thoughts, past experiences, or conscious choices. This has been an enlightening conversation with each of you, and I’m sure our audience will gain a lot from your wisdom. Thank you all for sharing your insights on these powerful topics today.
