Transcendental Stage In the Transcendental Stage, the 6th stage, a higher order of consciousness emerges. Here, the wisdom, life experiences and understandings of the entire reunited group are integrated, forming a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Any sense of fragmentation now disappears. Some believe that so-called channelled teachings are from souls undergoing this stage. These include the Michael Teachings, the Seth Teachings and the Abraham Teachings. Some also feel that the counsellors, elders and guides we meet in the Between Lives period are souls undergoing the Transcendental stage. Throughout this cycle, the souls experience a unity of consciousness in which their individuality, while still existing, is no longer important. Collectively, however, they will still perceive a difference between self and other, or created and creator. That difference is finally resolved for good in the second post-reincarnation stage. There is no need for souls at this level to reincarnate. They can finally stop peddling. (Whew!) However, the re-integrated Oversoul can elect to send a representative into physical life as a way to educate and inspire human society in some way. An incarnate soul from a re-integrated entity is known as a Transcendental (or Self-Realised) Soul. Because of the consciousness levels obtained by the Oversoul at this stage, the reincarnated transcendental soul will generally make his or her appearance on the stage as a buoyant, balanced, “got their act together” being with easy access to higher states of consciousness. The teachings of the transcendental soul, whether verbally, by example, or political and social activism, is usually centred on the greater connectivity of the universe and the belief that “we are all One”. Those who subscribe to a belief in the Transcendental Soul cite Mahatma Gandhi, Paramahansa Yogananda (a 20th Century Indian yogi and guru who introduced millions of westerners to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga), Rumi (a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic), St. Francis of Assisi (a 12th to 13th Century Italian Roman Catholic friar and preacher, patron saint of animals and one of the most venerated religious figures in history) and,
