Bilocation not different bodies
QUESTION: Masters, as you said in another message, a soul can only inhabit one body at a time. How to explain cases of bilocation like when Sai Baba could be seen by a group of people in India and by another group in a totally different part of the world? The same occurred with Catholic St. Father Pio when he lived in a small town in Italy but he could be seen in Hungary, Czechoslovakia and also different parts of Italy. ~Jorge, Brazil
ANSWER: There is a difference between a soul’s using its abilities as an unrestricted Source energy to be seen in more than one place and its having the ability to live two entirely different lives in two separate bodies simultaneously. The purpose for a soul to enter into a body, or incarnate, in the first place is to learn more about itself and the peculiar characteristics that appear only in a negative environment.
The soul accomplishes enlightenment by using its freedom of choice to remove its existence from ego judgment and redefine itself within unconditional love evaluation. First comes the knowledge of the choices and their implications, and then comes the wisdom of being able to apply these practices to any similar circumstance.
Once a soul has completed all, or most, of its chosen lessons, it has let loose of any connection to negative energy and is bathed in its essence of positive love energy. When all negativity is gone, anything that is possible for the soul to do in its energy alone it can do with its body accompanying its intentional desires.
As with all powers in the spiritual realm, a soul performs its desires merely by intending. For instance, it is possible for one to project their image, or even their body, to another location at will, which is what has occurred with the souls you have mentioned and many others. But understand that this is the same body within which they learned all their desired lessons, not another chosen for the journey. They simply have the intention to be seen in more than one location at the same time. It is similar to using the Internet to appear in front of people all over the planet at the same time.
