The teaching of the Soul

It is commonly believed that a Soul comes into existence at the same time as the body and that, as the body grows older, the Soul may be defined as a person's strong, deeply felt thought, action, and emotion, which may or may not be of moral nature, and which may be concerned with language, social customs, religion, and music. But this is not my view.

My own teaching of the Soul begun a few years ago.
The above work of art represents the solar system and its Souls. Of course this is only an artwork. It was created to explain my concept of the Soul of a modern symbiosis global society. A photo of the Earth is shown here with the Soul of the Sun illuminating the planets. Souls exist everywhere in the system and representatives are being shown as individual bundles of light of all shapes, sizes, colors and intensities. Souls are everywhere in all matter, all packed together, yet all different from one another. One of the most powerful characteristics of Souls is that they can merge with one another. Souls that merged become a different Soul. Constant merging makes its easy for Souls to move around and achieve their ultimate common goal. They have a fluid type of motion and move around as waves and the wind, swirls, interacting gusty winds, in and out of each other, constantly merging to achieve the ultimate goal of the Soul.

All Souls are independent living beings, and they exist together elsewhere. They don't resemble our physical forms. There is a Soul in everyone of us. The same Soul stays with us throughout our life. A Soul is a beautiful, wonderful entity who loves us completely. A Soul can have a soulmate. I do! Her physical form died a while ago but her Soul merged with mine, and we are now together forever. We are now one Soul, brighter, different, evolving, serving God and seeking God's Heaven!

Souls exist in all spaces and are goal oriented. The one goal common to all Souls is to guide the matter of the universe towards the creation of life. Then life becomes conscious of God. This goal is a global common to all Souls. We could compare it to the force fields of our universe: gravitational, electromagnetic, static magnetic, electric, electrostatic, etc.

We can communicate with our Soul just by listening to our own thoughs, our innerself. Our Soul talks to us all the time. We just need to pay attention and differentiate our everyday thoughts to those of our Soul.

Souls dont make decisions for us but they always show us the way, and it is left to us to choose the way of the Soul or not.

Where Souls live time does not exist. Time has no meaning for Souls. Past, present and future are all in one. That is the reason why Virginie and I have defined the expression ' Global Community ' as that being:
"all that exits or occurs at any location at any time between the Ozone layer above and the core of the planet below."
This is the fundamental definition of the expression "Global Community" The Glass Bubble concept  of a Global Community first defined by myself and my wife Virginie in 1985. This definition includes all people, all life on Earth.

So time is truly a global common for the physical universe, for all life, as we do observe the passage of time, but is not a global common for the Souls. God's Spirit is everywhere at all times, past, present and future. Other global commons amongst Souls are peace, social harmony, love, absolute communications, fluid motion, and Will of God.

Although the same Soul would be within a life-form throughout its life-span, it is only a viewpoint, life's viewpoint, the physical universe's viewpoint. Past, present and future dont exist for Souls. What seems a billion years to us is only an instant, an event, a motion for a Soul. The overall picture, the Soul's viewpoint, is still a fluid type of motion and Souls move around as waves and the wind, swirls, interacting gusty winds, in and out of each other, constantly merging to achieve the ultimate goal of the Soul.

Souls exist in all particules and can have an effect on the physical universe. A Soul shows the way in whatever particule they exist in. A Soul has one very important goal, and it is to show the way toward the creation of life in the universe. That is why I referred to them as 'Guiding Souls'. Since time has no meaning to a Soul, the billions of years that it takes to create galaxies, planets, and ultimately life, can always be achieved. Like an artist painting the universe making sure that, at the end, life is expressed on the canvas. Life is the ultimate goal to achieve. Life is the way God has chosen for the physical universe to be conscious of God. A life-form with more physical senses has more ways to communicate with the Soul and thus with God.

From life's viewpoint, the ultimate goal of a Soul is truly to create a symbiotical relationship between God and life in all its forms. God loves it when life becomes conscious of God. And life has achieved its greatest purpose by being conscious of God. I let my Soul to know me and the physical universe I live in, my environment, and in return, my Soul let me know what it means to be a Soul, and about the other Souls, Beings, Divine Love and Divine Will, and helps me make contact with God and live a Soul life. My Soul learns from me and I learn from my Soul. Souls are much more intelligent then we are and are very creative. We both appreciate each other. Our learning is never lost. We are sharing a lot. This is how I discovered the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity, a wonderful loving Being.

The Soul of all Life or Soul of Humanity is a wonderful loving Being made up of the Souls of all lifeforms on Earth and the Soul of Earth itself. This is what Souls do best, to unify and better serve God. They have merged together to better serve God. Souls can evolve as well, and they have. They have formed a new Being, the Soul of all Life, also called the Soul of Humanity, to better serve God. The Soul of Humanity is helping to bring about the event of Peace in the world. Knowing that Earth is a spiritual entity as well as a physical entity in space and time in the universe we begin to have a better relationship with Earth and with all its living inhabitants. This way Earth management will become a spiritual and a natural process whereby each person is responsible and accountable for its management the best they can. Peace in the world and Earth management have for far too long been in the hands of and affected by government and business leaders, in the hands of a few people on the planet, as opposed to being in the hands of all of us working together to keep our planet healthy. We are the keepers of the Earth.

Now we all see the place the Earth has in the universe, and that it also has a Soul. Earth has a Soul just like each and everyone of us. Obviously the Soul of the Earth is different than the Soul of a person, and the Soul of each person is different from that of another person. No two people are the same or have the same Souls. Souls have lived different experiences, have merged and evolved in different ways ever since the beginning of the universe.

Because of the danger of life extinction on Earth, the Soul of Humanity will be helping us for some time. This makes a lot of sense! If you were a Soul would you prefer to serve God in a dust particle found in the empty space between the oldest galaxies? You would still be with God! But the next particle might be a million light years away. Pitch dark! You could not even see or sense the light of the nearest galaxy. You could not see anything because you would have to be in a lifeform to do so.  Not a very good place to be conscious of God. As a Soul you would still be with the other Souls but you would not taste life in the physical universe. Just a particle! Or would you prefer to be on Earth or on any other planet where there is life. As a Soul you would probably prefer to serve God within a human being or within some other advanced lifeform in the universe.

There is a lot to be conscious of in any lifeform on Earth. There is so much more to be conscious of in a human body. Can you believe that every lifeform has a Soul? Well, with some differences. God is conscious of all lifeforms. For instance, a bird! God is very happy when conscious of flying in our physical universe. God loves human beings more because we can talk back to God (so has a friend to talk to), and we are conscious of God (so we have a friend as well). This does not mean we are like God. No way! God does not look like us, and we dont look like God. Not ever! God is an infinite Being covering all of the universe and beyond. By universe we mean the billion of galaxies, space and time, and beyond. Life has evolved on Earth, and there we are, the 'top of the line species' (you could challenge this theory as we could have come from another star system).

There will be a time when enough people will be able to think together very strongly about life, and then Guiding Souls will make it possible for us to acquire the knowledge and expertise to travel the distances of the universe and propagate life in all its forms. At the moment our civilizations are not ready for the exploration of the universe. Too many wars and not enough peace in the world. To acquire such knowledge would be more destructive than helpful for the propagation of life. For now the Peoples of our world need to learn to live in symbiosis with one another. Their are many types of symbiotical relationships to choose from. Global symbiotical relationships are always created between Global Community citizens


The fundamental criteria of a global symbiotical relationship

The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.


A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

The Global Community has begun to establish the existence of the age of symbiotical relationships and global cooperation. An economically base symbiotical relationship exists between nations of the European Union. Other types (geographical, economical, social, business-like, political, religious, and personal) may be created all over the world between communities, nations, and between people themselves. There has always been symbiotical relationships in Nature, and between Souls and the matter of the universe to help creating Earth and life on Earth to better serve God.

In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour. The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? The Global Community promotes the values and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability.

Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights, human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth.

A global symbiotical relationship between nations is more than just a partnership, or an economical agreement such as the WTO. The WTO is about a trade partnership between nations. Of course it is a bad idea to be a member of the World Trade Organization ( WTO). There are no advantages! The fundamental criteria is not being fulfilled. It just does not work for anyone except when you have an army to knock down any member who does not do your five wishes and plus. A membership in the WTO is not needed and nations should instead seek relationships with fewer other nations only if needed. Certainly it is better to seek an economic relationship with another nation we can trust than with a hundred nations we have no control on and everyone of those nations has a say in the governing of our nation, its environment and social structure. The WTO only offers illusions to profit the few wealthiest people on Earth. They say "become an industrialized nation as we are". But that is the biggest illusion of all. To become an industrialized nation is far from being the best solution. The best way and solution for any nation is to follow the Scale of Human and Earth Rights. Right on top of the scale are the ecological rights, the global life-support systems, and the primordial human rights of this generation and of the next generations. Economic and social rights come next and are not the most important. That makes a lot of sense! The effect of IMF and World Bank policies in the world caused the destruction of the economies of the poor nations (now we call them 'developing' countries). They impoverished the people by taking away basic services and devaluating their currency. They opened up the national economy to be ravaged by competition with richer nations. Poverty lead to other problems causing the ecological destruction of a poor nation.

On the other hand, a global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the nations involved.

The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces, communities, nations, and businesses.

The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces, communities, nations, and businesses. We are also proposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and global civil society. A similar relationship already exists between the people of the Global Community, also known as the human family, the global civil society.

For example, in Canada, there is now a well established symbiotical relationship between the Government of Canada and the Inuit people of Nunavut. The creation of Nunavut was the outcome of the largest aboriginal land claims agreement between the Canadian government and the native Inuit people. The Inuit is one of the first indigenous peoples in the Americas to achieve self-government. They have the right to participate in decisions regarding the land and water resources, and rights to harvest wildlife on their lands.
The Global Community perspective on the control of the Northwest Passage, Canada sovereignty of Nunavut and blood resources

Global ministries are a very specific and useful type of symbiotical relationships on Earth. There are urgently needed. The Global Community has been promoting the formation of global ministries for the proper governance of Earth.

Global ministries are world wide organizations just like the WTO for trade and therefore should have the same power to rule on cases as that of the World trade Organization (WTO). The importance difference between a global ministry and the WTO is that a global ministry follows the fundamental criteria.

An other example is the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO is mostly lead by powerful lobbying groups subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry. The organization is money-driven as opposed to be following the fundamental criteria.

A new symbiotical relationship between religion and the protection of the global life-support systems has begun to take place all over the world. Religious rituals now support the conservation efforts and play a central role in governing sustainable use of the natural environment.

Major faiths are issuing declarations, advocating for new national policies, and creating educational activities in support of a sustainable global community. The Global Community is establishing a symbiotical relationship between spirituality and science, between our heart and mind, and God, between religion and the environment.

The human family is finding its role in the universe, a higher purpose and a meaning. We now can celebrate life. Celebration of Life Day

A sustainable world can be built with the help of a very powerful entity: the human spirit. Community participation generates the energy needed to sustain the planet and all life. Religious and environmental communities have formed a powerful alliance for sustainability.

Being the 'top of the line species' on Earth has put a burden on us.

We have the responsibility of managing Earth.

We have the responsibility of managing Earth. The Earth ecosystem is so fragile that we have to manage it together wisely. Souls and God want to help us to manage Earth.

They want to help us!


Guiding Souls and God want to help us manage Earth

Why would the Soul of Humanity want to help us? A very simple answer! Throughout our human history we have left behind too many dead bodies, and too much destruction. Everytime a lifeform dies because of us, a Soul lost a physical form to serve God. The Soul has to find another place to serve God. If you were a Soul, would you want to serve God in a dust particle found in the empty space between the oldest galaxies of the universe? If you were a Soul, would you want to help humanity through the hard times ahead so you could live longer, taste life in a human body and have a relationship within the physical body you are in on Earth? I believe I know your answer. Life is a much better place to be to serve God. And the human body is ' the top of the line species ' on Earth.

Earth is Heaven for God...  because God becomes so happy of being conscious of such diversity of lifeforms on Earth and of so many different ways to be alive in our physical universe. We could all learn to appreciate Heaven on Earth. If  Souls and God can, why cant'we? Every time our Souls are successful with us, that is when we go through life without destroying life around us, no conflicts and wars, then our Souls are allowed to get closer to God, and eventually enters God's Heaven.

The Will of God is for life to reach God in the best possible ways. Life is the most precious gift ever given by God to the universe. Life allows Souls to be conscious of God in as many different ways as possible. Life is the building block through which Souls can have a meaningful relationship with God. By observing the universe, the galaxies, we are observing and studying God. There is more to the universe we observe today, that is, there is more to God we observe, much more. God is self-existent, eternal and infinite in space and time. Follow God's Word. God's Plan was revealed to humanity a short while ago. The Divine Plan for humanity is:

a)     for everyone to manage Earth responsibly, and
b)     about to reach the stars and spread Life throughout the universe and thus help other Souls to evolve and serve God in the best possible ways.

If a person does anything consciously to damage or destroy the life-support system of the Earth, the ecosystem, and if that person creates or is involved directly or indirectly with conflicts or wars, the Soul of that person is facing the Soul of Humanity. Right now! That Soul is facing the Soul of Humanity right now where all Souls are. God creates particles in places in the universe, and there is a need for a Soul to serve God in all of those new particles. There is also a need to replace the Souls living in particles between the oldest galaxies and have them come to Earth to taste life. These Souls have been in those particles for more than fifteen billion years and yes, they will be pleased to replace these old Souls on Earth who have gotten too fat for their bellies (a figure of speech) and would rather not bother about the Earth ecosystem and the survival of  life on Earth. All Souls within the mineral and plant domains on Earth will also be asked to move up to a higher level, that of the lifeforms. This process has already started a short while ago. In less than a generation a very large number of Souls will be leaving Earth forever and new Souls eager to learn about life in all forms will be replacing them. These new Souls will learn to manage with the living. The merging of all Souls to form the Soul of Humanity may affect significantly this entire process.

To manage Earth is very important because Earth is all that we have, and Earth is a spiritual entity that wants respect. Earth is most precious and the one and only place we can live for now. Earth is more than just a home - it is Heaven. God is having a good time on Earth because of the diversity of lifeforms, its incredible beauty, and its magnificent 'top of the line species', us, who can adore and serve God in so many different ways. God was touched deeply by humble people from all religions on Earth. We cannot allow ourselves to let governments and other organizations take away our responsibility for managing Earth. It would be like giving the key of Heaven, our Heaven, to people who would be looking after their own self-interests and not bother with what is truly important. Over the past thousands of years, our species has gone through all sorts of loops and dead ends but we are who we are today: hopeful, imaginative, creative, demanding, powerful, diversified, changing, evolving, intelligent, resourceful, and with a kilometre length of skills, qualifications and strengths. Together we have what it takes to manage Earth wisely and keep it healthy. Somehow we never do enough or we don't do things well enough! What is missing? Respect for Earth is missing. We think of Earth as a pile of dirt to be used anyway we wish. We don't care because we have been told that God will have us in Heaven after our death. Someone said to me:  "So who cares about Earth? I am going to Heaven after I die..." . Guess what someone else said to that person..."from now on, after you die, you will be facing the Soul of Humanity, and we have just the kind of dirt or dust particle you deserve".

What is happening right now is very serious and very real! Purging and renewing of the Souls! On a smaller scale, something similar happened when Jesus (I apologize for using a religious leader from a specific religion) conducted ' The Cleansing of the Temple '. Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, 'It is written :

"My house shall be a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves."

And the Soul of Humanity says today to them:

"I am the Soul of Humanity and of all that exists on Earth. My Temple is Earth !  Not only are you thieves but you are murderers and killers. I know you all personally as your Souls are a part of me. They are my eyes. You cannot hide and you cannot run. I will not whip you out of my Temple as Jesus did. I have no need for that! You are destroying yourself. The only problem is that you are also responsible for the death of innocent and humble people. Life on Earth and the rest of humanity are threatened with extinction. This is insane! You have polluted air,water and land and you are still creating conflicts and wars. Most often the innocent and the humble people are hurt or killed. I want you to put down your guns, all of you. You will recycle all your weapons, war heads and any war equipment and products. You will stop destroying the ecosystem of the Earth right now. You will be a part of the grassroots process of the Global Community. You will help to promote the Global Community values and principles. Earth shall be a place of prayer and shall become a Heaven for Souls as it is for God. If we, Souls and God, can see life as the most precious thing ever created, and we see Earth as Heaven, why cant'you? After your physical forms are dead, your Souls will separate from me and leave Earth forever. The purging and renewing of the Souls on Earth will last a millennium."

If you manufacture bombs, weapons of all types, war ships, war planes, or any other types of war equipment or products, directly or indirectly, and if you provide the services of war, you voted for a leader who claimed war(or conflicts) as a way or a solution to a problem or concern, and/or if you are a soldier, a war maker or doer, then your Soul is facing the Soul of Humanity right now. And good-bye Charlie! And good riddance! Have a good particle in empty space between the oldest galaxies of the universe and you may keep it for another fifteen billion years! Your Soul will serve God right there and will never see the light again! Earth wants Peace in the world and Earth shall have it. Because of a geographical or political border, or because of some cultural or religious differences, you could not live and learn to be in Peace with the community next to you, your neighbors.

If you are an innocent, and you die because of a war or a conflict, and you did not participate in the above, your Soul will be back on Earth to taste life again within the 'top of the line species', ours, within  the Global Community and, as a Soul,  you will be allowed to move up to a higher level closer to God. And God will be so much happier to be conscious of you. All the other Souls (those who live a life for Peace and are helping Earth) will also be back on Earth and live a life closer to God. All of you good Souls are my friends, and there is great joy and happiness in having you in Heaven on Earth. Your Soul and Spirit will also be given a chance to leave the matter of the universe forever and enter God's Heaven.

If you are innocent, and you die because of a war or a conflict, and you did not participate in the above, and you believe in Jesus, your Soul will leave the matter of the universe forever and will enter God's Heavens as promised by Jesus. Similarly, all the other Souls (those who live a life for Peace and are helping Earth, and also believed in Jesus), after your physical forms have died, will leave the matter of the universe forever and will enter God's Heaven as promised by Jesus.

There are other pathways for Souls to enter God's Heaven but, as explained above, they are God's pathways. Many religions are also God's pathways.

Earth was hurt! All Souls on Earth have unified, and they are now called the Soul of Humanity. Souls can evolve and can do a lot to heal humanity. They will resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully. They will reinstate the respect for Earth and work together to keep Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things. They have joined forces to bring forth a sustainable global society embracing universal values related to human rights, economic and social justice, respect of nature, peace, responsibility to one another, and the protection and management of the Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.


Guiding Souls to serve God is a part of a new unifying religion of a modern symbiosis global society

The Guiding Souls to serve God is a part of a new religion made public for the first time a few years ago on the websites of the Global Community, the Human Family. Evolution, Creation and now, Guiding Souls The fundamental beliefs of the Guiding Souls serving God are as follow.

The laws of nature can organize matter to build complex biochemical systems that are at the origin of lifeforms such as a complex human being. The most relevant laws are: biological reproduction, natural selection and mutation. And each particle of matter has a Guiding Soul.

All biological structures can be explained in terms of those natural laws and the Guiding Souls serving God.


All biological structures can be explained in terms of those natural laws and the Guiding Souls serving God. The existence of Souls does not necessarily imply a special beginning of the universe. The universe may have never had a beginning and probably never did. Souls can only guide the matter of the universe to serve God. Observations of the universe show the stars in our galaxy, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, super clusters of galaxies, and many other special objects. A theory of the observable universe that has stood out over the past decades is the Big Bang theory. Different types of data point at the Big Bang theory. We may never be a 100% certain which theory of the universe (and God knows there are many) is correct. A good reference is my own Master's Degree Thesis:

"La Cosmologie et la Cosmogonie: Une Discussion"
by Germain Dufour
Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres, Departement de Physique, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. The first draft was handed in December, 1978; it was accepted on December 15, 1982. Supervisor: Dr. Felix deForest.
( see my CV )

Even if the Big Bang was correct, it could also be that the observable universe is a part of an even larger, infinite, universe. That is more likely to be true. God is infinite in space and time and could have created our observable universe for a higher purpose.

Let us assume here that the beginning of our observable universe was a Big Bang. The conditions for the formation of life on Earth appeared gradually over the past billion years. Souls were guiding the expansion of the universe and evolution of life in small ways so as to make it possible for life to evolve and be conscious of God.

The physical universe is a part of God. God is conscious of us through our Souls. In a way, Souls are 'God's plumbing devices', God's ways to communicate with the physical universe, God's medium to connect with us. Most Souls as we see them today are not as they were at the beginning of the universe. That is if there was such beginning. Let us say that at the beginning of our observable universe, there was the Primeval Atom or Big Bang. Souls have merged and evolved ever since this beginning. The Primeval Atom was made of the pure light of God, which today we call Guiding Souls. Then God allowed the Primeval Atom to explode and space, time and matter were formed and the universe evolved as we observe it today.

Souls do their work at all times and everywhere over the entire universe. This is especially true during the formation of stars. Stars are formed when a large cloud of dust particles collapse on itself by gravitational forces and other physical phenomena which may affect their characteristics. Then a star, and planets with their moons, if any, are formed. After being born a star system has a lifetime of its own. For instance, our Sun is believed to be about six billion years old, a young star really! Souls continue to do their work at all times during the formation of a new star system. It is very likely that there are billions of star systems with planets in our observable universe. Souls would have guided matter to create such systems to better serve God. The ultimate goal is the creation of life on a planet. Life allows Souls to be conscious of God in many different ways, and thus to better serve God.

Now imagine a large cloud of dust particles and each particle has a Guiding Soul. As the cloud becomes a Star and planets, Souls start merging together. The star itself, like our Sun, becomes a single, unique Soul serving God. The Sun spreads its light, its energy all around, DIVINE LOVE and DIVINE WILL, helping life to be created on Earth. Earth itself also became one unique Soul to better serve God. At the early stage of this expanding universe, every particle in the universe had a Soul each being a small part of the primeval consciousness of God. Each Soul was the essence of a small part of God's Spirit. In a way, the essence of each Soul is its own Spirit, itself a small part of God's Spirit. This is because God exists everywhere in the universe and in every particle of all galaxies. Souls have an important intrinsic quality, they can merge together, a group of Souls can become one Soul, a brighter one, different. This is what Souls do best, and it is to unify to better serve God. Souls can evolve as well. A Soul's primary goal is to serve God. A Soul can affect matter to some extent so as to achieve God's Will.

At the early stage, when the Earth was formed, and a while later, all the conditions for the formation of life were present, and life was created to better serve God. Life was made of matter and every particle of that matter had a Soul that merged with all the others. That first spark of life had a unique and independent Soul, and its own Spirit, to better serve God. Throughout the different evolutionary stages of life on Earth, Guiding Souls have guided the step-by-step evolution of life on Earth and kept merging to better serve God.

Guiding Souls have guided the step-by-step evolution of life on Earth.


Guiding Souls guided the evolutionary process in small ways. Many groupings of Souls became more complex than others as they were much brighter beings than other groupings, but all serve God in their own special way. One unique and most wonderful grouping was the grouping that made the Human Soul. God loves the human Souls a lot because of their wonderful qualities. Through their Souls human beings became conscious of God in many different ways. Religions of all kinds started to spread on Earth over the past thousands of years to adore God and pray. Different groupings of Souls affected human beings in different ways and Peoples today have different religious beliefs. God is like a river feeding plentifully and bountifully all life and plants. There are many pathways leading to the river. They are God's pathways. God loves diversity in Nature and in Souls. God loves good Souls from all religions.

Different religions have different ways to love, adore and pray to God. And God's Heaven exists. Heaven on Earth is different from God's Heaven. To be in Heaven with God will mean a Soul has left the matter of the universe forever to enter God's Heaven.

There are other pathways for Souls to enter God's Heaven but they are God's pathways.

The Soul of Humanity is helping to bring about the event of Peace in the world. Knowing that Earth is a spiritual entity as well as a physical entity in space and time in the universe we begin to have a better relationship with Earth and with all its living inhabitants. This way Earth management will become a spiritual and a natural process whereby each person is responsible and accountable for its management the best they can. Peace in the world and Earth management have for too long been in the hands of and affected by government and business leaders, in the hands of a few people on the planet, as opposed to being in the hands of all of us (6.157 billion people on Earth) working together to keep our planet healthy. We are the keepers of the Earth.

The Soul of Humanity will help us:

*     resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully;

Life exists on millions of other planets in the universe, and our species got to be who we are today through the evolutionary process just described. Other lifeforms in the universe may have evolved to be at least as advanced as our species. Their Guiding Souls may even be more complicated than ours. They may have merged a trillion times more than our Souls. They may have evolved as well.


The Divine Plan and the higher purpose of humanity

What is the Divine Plan for humanity?

The Divine Plan is the greatest hope for humanity and is now being revealed. God could not have created a universe with billions of galaxies, each one with billions of stars such as our Sun, unless God had a plan for Life, especially for an advanced species such as ours.

We have the responsibility of managing Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as oppose to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.

The higher purpose of humanity is to serve God by propagating Life throughout the universe. Humanity will evolve spiritually to fulfill God's Plan. Soon God will show us the way to reach the galaxies.

Is humanity as we know it today on Earth our final destination?

A short while ago God said:



1.    Thou shall be One with humanity and thou shall have a higher purpose, and that is to propagate Life throughout the universe. I shall provide you with means to travel the galaxies.

2.    Thou shall have another higher purpose, and that is to manage Earth responsibly.

It was necessary for our species to reach today's population of 6.157 billions in order to leap to our next stage of evolution that will bring us closer to God and propel humanity to fulfill the Divine Plan.

The Soul of the Global Community

The Soul of the Global Community is an other name for the Soul of all Life and for the Soul of Humanity. The Global Community is very much active about educating the world concerning questions such as:

How was the universe created?
Heaven on Earth and God's Heaven!
What are Souls?
How were Souls created?
Why has God created Souls?
What can they do?
Liberating Souls from matter to bring humanity to God's Heaven!
How was the Soul of Humanity formed?
Why was it formed?
Why do People today have different religious beliefs?
What can religion do today to help manage Earth?


A Soul will not try to control us. A Soul accepts us as we are. We can have a close relationship with our Soul and live a Soul life. Every lifeform on Earth has a Soul as well. All minerals and plants, every particle in the universe has a Soul (but usually Souls will merge or unify to become different groupings to better serve God). This is because God exists everywhere in the universe and in every particle of all galaxies. God is conscious of the universe through Souls, and we are conscious of God because of Souls. There are many unanswered questions about Souls and God, and the human heart and mind are still exploring many possibilities. We will never find all of the answers.

Because God is so powerful, and because we are so human and so weak, we try to make demands on God. I have done so many times myself. God let us live and die, and it is up to us to have a relationship with God. God lets us be free. We are free to make choices between an infinite number of possibilities at each instant throughout our lives. That is why we could never repeat exactly the same life all over again, even given the same original circumstances. We are free to decide between right and wrong. We are free to grow spiritually and live better lives with our Souls and God. God does not tell us what to do or what not to do, nor does our Soul. Except when Souls want to leave the matter of the universe forever to enter God's Heaven, then God will show us the way. Otherwise, we are truly free! Once a Soul has merged and evolved enough, it will want to enter God's Heaven. Then the Soul must follow God's pathway to God's Heaven. The Soul will have been purged or purified before entering God's Heaven.

You can connect with God just by yourself! Just think of God, and there is God for you. Simple! Our Soul can also help us make contact with God. God does not belong to any particular religious institution. God does not belong to anyone in particular. God is self-existent. The physical universe is a part of God. God is conscious of us through our Souls.


The Global Community teaching

The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among them, a Global Civilization, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship, and by creating an era of freedom, security, global justice and social harmony.

The Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions, educates, organizes, campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots. We are committed to nonviolence. We stand for the globalization of our rights to speech, thought,  religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination, freedom from fear and persecution and  freedom from poverty. We stand for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong labor rights and social and economic policies that put people and the environment before profits.

The Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in Peace. This Global Peace Mouvement  is about courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global  sustainability  being some of them.

Conservation, restoration, and management of the Earth resources is about asking ourselves the question of "Who owns the Earth?" The large gap between rich and poor is connected to ownership and control of the planet's land and of all other Earth natural resources. We, the Global Community, must now direct the wealth of the world towards the building of local-to-global economic democracies in order to meet the needs for food, shelter, universal healthcare, education, and employment for all. The Global Community has proposed a democracy for the people based on the fact that land, the air, water, oil, minerals, and all other natural resources rightly belong to the Global Community along with the local communities where those resources are found. The Earth is the birthright of all life. The Global Economic Model proposed by the Global Community is truly the best response to the world.

Global Community criteria for sovereignty:

  • a global community is in place
  • the land and its natural resources are just enough to live a sustainable life and for a healthy living
  • the community governs its owns affairs as per the Scale of Human and Earth Rights, Global Law, Global Constitution, and the protection of the environment and of the global life-support systems
  • a symbiotical relationship exists between the citizens and the Global Community
  • a democracy based on the fact that land, the air, water, oil, minerals, and all other natural resources within the community rightly belongs to the community along with the Global Community, and that the Earth is the birthright of all life
  • Earth management and taxation of all Earth natural resources


Without this criteria no one can claim ownership - sovereignty - of both Nunavut and the Northwest Passage.
The Global Community perspective on the control of the Northwest Passage, Canada sovereignty of Nunavut and blood resources Canada does not own the area of Nunavut or that of the North West territories. Like we have explained above putting a flag on Moon does not give you ownership. Our first explorers did not own the land just because they stepped foot on North America. Just because you put a flag on Mount Everest means you own the mountain. You dont! And the Inuit dont own Nunavut either. The population density of Nunavut is 0.015 persons per square kilometer. So 82.4% of Nunavut is practically empty of people. One can say Nunavut is mostly without people. If someday a colony is set up on the Moon will that mean the people making up the colony owns the Moon? No it does not! The people of the colony could say they own an area large enough for their own survival, a sustainable living. Not the entire Moon. Similarly for the Inuit people. They dont own Nunavut. The Inuit are in large part being taken care of by the Canadian Government. They are being used by the Canadian Government to claim soverighty of Nunavut. Somewhat like the colony on the Moon would be taken care of by the nation on Earth. So the Inuit people can only claim to own a small area around their communities. This means that people from all over the world could come to settle a community in Nunavut. In Nunavut there is also a vast array of different life-form communities such as the polar bears, caribou, Arctic foxes, seals, beluga whales, northern fulmars, and those communities of organisms that inhabit the sea floor like brittle stars, worms, zooplankton, microalgae, bivalves and some of the lesser known sea spiders. And there are many more. Everyone of those global communities have an Earth right of ownership of the North and of all its natural resources. It is their birthright. They dont express themselves in English, but we understand them. Human beings have a moral obligation to protect and conserve the biodiversity of life on Earth. The Earth management of Nunavut is an asset to the Global Community and Canada. The Global Constitution shows us how it can be done with Global Law, the Earth Court of Justice, and how the Global Protection Agency (GPA) and the Agency of Global Police (AGP) can protect the territory. Global Community Arrest Warrants can be issued to anyone breaking Global Law. The GCNA Emergency, Rescue and Relief Centre is vigilant and quick in helping all life in need of help. Fot the protection of those global communities we will need to create a biodiversity zone in the North by way of Earth rights and taxation of natural resources. The Global Community is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is the Global Community. The Global Community has the power to make the laws of the land and to make the rules for the territory of the Earth. Global Law has been and continue to be researched and developed for this purpose. We are all members of the Global Community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species and other people, or treat them with cruelty and violence. All life species, humans and cultures, have intrinsic worth. They are subjects, not commodities, not objects of manipulation or ownership. No humans have the right to own other species, other people or the knowledge of other cultures through patents and other intellectual property rights. Defending biological and cultural diversity is a duty of all people. Diversity is an end in itself, a value, a source of richness both material and cultural. All members of the Global Community including all humans have the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space. These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through global community rights and global commons. They are not given by states or corporations, nor can they be extinguished by state or corporate action. No state or corporation has the right to erode or undermine these natural rights or enclose the commons that sustain all through privatisation or monopoly control.

After defining the Global Community expression, Virginie and I thought we would better serve humanity by first Celebrating Life Celebration of Life Day because life is what allows us all to be who we all are and to have symbiotical relationships between ourselves, and between ourselves and the Soul of Humanity and God.

Life often involves tensions between important values. This can mean difficult choices. However, we must find ways to harmonize diversity with unity, the exercise of freedom with the common good, short-term objectives with long-term goals. Every individual, family, organization, and community has a vital role to play. The arts, sciences, religions, educational institutions, media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments are all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership of government, civil society, and business is essential for an effective global governance based on global concepts and the Scale of Human and Earth Rights.

Let our time be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life. Let our expanding consciousness blend with that of the Soul of Humanity.

Being unified under the Soul of Humanity dissolves all barriers and expand our global consciousness. We become more whole and complete within ourselves and as a group. Our common Spirit is able to resolve planetary problems in a coherent way. One common 'Global Vision'  allows us to see how all the parts of the whole relate to each other. We have the right relationship with one another, with all lifeforms and Earth itself, and with the Soul of Humanity.

On May 26 of each year, let us all celebrate life in our heart, mind and Spirit. Let us thank God for the gift of life.

Perhaps now is time to elaborate on my teaching as your spiritual leader and Prophet of God.

I am asking all religions around the world to re-examine their scriptures, precepts, practices, ethical and moral values in light of ecological concerns. The Global Community is facing a global environmental crisis. It is very important that every person on Earth accept of being part of the process in protecting the global life-support systems. The ecological crisis is as much about saving children as it is about saving other lifeforms on the planet.

Our first objective will be to find statements from all religions that promote the respect, stewardship, protection, ethical and moral responsibility to life and of the environment, the Earth global life-support systems, and statements that promote a responsible Earth management. I am also asking for specific statements on environmental conservation.

I ask all religions to participate.


Global Law

In order to create a harmonious and compassionate Global Community, the following are laws, principles, and ways of life I ask everyone to comply with: Global Law
 

  • Divine Law
  • Nature Law
  • The teaching of the Soul of Humanity
  • The teaching of the prophet
  • Global Law
  • Golden Rule principle and societal sustainability
  • Global Justice Movement for all life on the planet
  • Abolish the business of conflicts and war
  • Security for all life on Earth
  • Disarmament
  • Be actively involved in applying recommendations from the scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC )


The work of the Global Community, the global civil society, and the determination of government worldwide, make it possible for everyone to comply with the law. Building global communities requires a mean to enforce Global Law for the protection of life on Earth. Global Civilization guides humanity for the building of global communities. This is a great opportunity for globallateralism. Global Law includes legislation covering all aspects of human activities. The Global Protection Agency (GPA) will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. The GPA will enforce the law. And that is the third option we offer the Global Community. And that is also how we can stop the global warming of the planet and protect the global life-support systems, thus largely improving the quality of life of the next generations.

As we enact global law, we will begin to take on a much deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy and more gratitude than hatred, one that can catapult the whole planet forward into a future where war is no longer thinkable between nation-states and a legitimate and beneficial global government is able to cope with global problems.

I believe that there is no greater task in the world today than for the Global Community to proceed through the maturation of its leadership, emerging from a more self-interested adolescence as a global leader into a nobler adulthood. We have the potential to act as a torchbearer for a better tomorrow. Do we heed the call? I hope this message has convinced at least a few people that the question of how to proceed with that maturation is of far deeper significance than the reforming of the United Nations. I thus pray that we move with wisdom, grace, clarity, and love in the days, years, and even decades ahead.

The Global Community has made clear that globalization and planetary trading blocks should be serving the Human Family and not the other way around, the people around the world serving the very few rich individuals. The September 11 event was the result of bad trading of arms and oil and the absence of moral responsibility and accountability in our way of doing business with the Middle East nations. By applying proper moral safeguards and accepting responsibility and accountability of all products (arms and oil in this case), from beginning to end where they become wastes, each corporation would make free trade and globalization serving the Human Family. The September 11 event was also a turning point in human history and indicated the end of the last superpower in the world and the birth of the Global Community. Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become legally and morally responsible and accountable for their products from beginning to end. At the end the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. Now trade must be given a new impetus to be in line with the global concepts of the Global Community. When you do exploration work, and develop, manufacture, produce, mine, farm or create a product, you become legally and morally responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). This product may be anything and everything from oil & gas, weapons, war products, construction products, transportation and communications products and equipment, to genetically engineered food products. All consumer products! All medical products! All pharmaceutical products! In order words, a person (a person may be an individual, a community, a government, a business, an NGO, or an institution) becomes responsible and accountable for anything and everything in his or her life.

An important global symbiotical relationship between all Peoples and the Global Community was created during the meeting of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali, hosted by the Government of Indonesia, which brought together more than 10,000 participants, including representatives of 187 nations together with observers from intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations and the media. The two week period included the sessions of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ), its subsidiary bodies as well as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. A ministerial segment in the second week concluded the Conference.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) was first in establishing scientifically the idea that climate change is a direct result of human activity -- specifically by burning fossil fuels which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The international panel wants world governments to initiate a process under the UNFCCC that results in hard caps for emissions.

The conference was the start of international negotiations on the environment for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol in order to agree on a united global action to fight climate change.

The report from the IPCC is the fourth in a series, and the culmination of four years of research. The report's summary condenses 2,500 pages of previous publications into a policy-focused 23 pages. The IPCC says that the new climate-change deal must be settled in time to ensure that action continues after 2012, when the current phase of the Kyoto Protocol ends.

The conference culminated in the adoption of the Bali roadmap, which charts the course for a new negotiating process to be concluded by 2009 that will ultimately lead to a post-2012 international agreement on climate change. Ground-breaking decisions were taken which form core elements of the roadmap. They include the launch of the Adaptation Fund as well as decisions on technology transfer and on reducing emissions from deforestation, all of them essential to achieving a secure climate future.

The pivotal agreement among the 187 nations present was a commitment to establish "deep cuts" in global emissions. That means developed countries will be required to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40 per cent by 2020.

The negotiations for the second phase of Kyoto must be completed by 2009, in order to allow for ratification by all countries and entry into force well before 2012, when the first phase ends.

Political leaders at the UN climate conference in Bali hammered out a deal that will launch negotiations to put the world on a path towards deeper emission cuts after the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012.

The road map agreed in Bali now means a new climate treaty must be negotiated by the end of 2009 to replace Kyoto.

In addition to setting a range of emission reduction targets for industrialized countries, the Bali roadmap contains commitments to negotiate actions to control emissions in developing countries; financial agreements for adaptation and the transfer of climate-friendly technology; and an agreement to tackle the problem of deforestation in developing countries.

The document, which will come into force in 2012, also sets up a global agreement to stop tropical deforestation.

Key developing countries have shown a willingness to take on new commitments at the two-week-long UN climate conference. The United States, Russia, Japan and Canada were at the forefront of moves to block such targets. The US delegation in particular proved a major obstacle to progress. They appeared to operate a wrecking policy, as though determined to derail the whole process.

Canada worked with the United States for most of the meeting to oppose crucial elements of the Bali roadmap. As a result, parts of the deal are too vague to assure a successful outcome of the next round of UN negotiations, due to be completed in 2009. Canada worked against the key elements of this deal for most of the two weeks in Bali, and was singled out by other countries and high-ranking UN officials for its obstructive behaviour.

Canada initially opposed this emissions reduction range in the final negotiating session, but agreed not to block the consensus position when it found itself virtually isolated. Canada’s current targets and policies fall far short of the standard set in Bali. Nothing less than a massive scale-up of federal efforts on climate change is required for Canada to play a responsible part in the next two years of negotiations.

The agreement to develop approaches to reduce deforestation and forest degradation is a key outcome of the conference. Protecting carbon stored in forests and other ecosystems is an important complement to deep cuts in fossil fuel emissions.

The first steps towards transferring "clean" technology to developing countries to help them reduce pollution levels were also agreed. Plans for financial support to halt deforestation and degradation in developing countries were also worked out.

The United States, the world's biggest polluter, was initially opposed to signing up for emission reduction targets. When similar plans were made at Kyoto in 1997, the US refused to ratify the treaty. However, in Bali the US agreed to be included in the reduction plans - the first time it has made such a commitment.

Emerging powers China and India will also be bound to universal eco-friendly commitments.

The fact that there is no agreement about how far to cut emissions means the Bali road map is missing a significant result. Politicians were unable to commit themselves to the recommendations of the scientific community for securing the global life-support systems.

Nevertheless, 187 nations have agreed on a plan to fight climate change and thus ensuring a better future for all of us, the next generations, and all life on Earth.

Global Community recommendations concerning UN climate change conference in Bali are:

1.      Re-write the Bali road map into a legal document with legislation, global laws to be enforced;

2.      Include sanctions to be implemented when a nation failed to achieve the objectives of the Bali road map; and

3.      Acquire funds to be administered by the Global Protection Agency ( GPA ) for the implementation of the sanctions.

No more waiting! Time for action is now! We are all responsible for the creation of global warming, and there are plenty of observable effects. Greenhouse gases are accumulating dangerously in the Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, and temperatures are rising globally due to these activities. Climate changes have to be manage without delays and the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol is only the beginning of a long fight for the protection of life on Earth. There is much more to be done to even come close to what we have to do. The ratification of the Kyoto Protocol was only the beginning to help save the next generations.

Global consumption is a very important aspect of globalization. Consumers should be concerned with the impact of their decisions on the environment but also on the lives, human and Earth rights and well-being of other people. Since one of the key functions of families as a social institution is to engage in production (selling their labour in return for wages) and consumption (using those wages to buy goods and services), then the role of families has impacts on sustainable consumption and development. Corporations are required to expand their responsibilities to include human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects. The Global Community has summarized the rights of every person on Earth by developing the Scale of Human and Earth Rights. The scale will eventually be replacing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Global Constitution established all rights.

Just as corporations have social responsibilities and so do consumers in societies. Consumers are socialized to improve the quality of their lives. Quality of life is a multi-dimensional, complex and very subjective concept. For instance, someone who has changed their consumption habits to better ensure that their choices will make a better quality of life for themselves, the environment and future generations, may be seen by others as having a lower or inferior quality of life since they have removed themselves from the materialistic mainstream characteristic of our consumer society. Someone may feel that an absence of violence and abuse in their life leads to a higher quality of living even though they have fewer tangible resources, money, or shelter; peace of mind and freedom from abuse has increased the quality of their daily life relative to what it was like before. There are universal quality of life values which lead to "human betterment" or the improvement of the human condition. In addition to the value of species survival (human and other living organisms), they include: adequate resources, justice and equality, freedom, and peace or balance of power. A better quality of life for all people of the Global Community Earth Government is a goal for all of us and one of our universal values.

The Global Community found that an adequate level of health care is a universal value as well as a human right. We expect adequate health services to be accessible, affordable, compassionate and socially acceptable. We believe that every individual of a society is co-responsible for helping in implementing and managing health programmes along with the government and the public institutions.

This ends my teaching for now. More will come later.
