….soul splits💔. …

The idea that a soul can appear in more than one form at the same time is not new. Across the world, different cultures and traditions have spoken of it in their own language:

:open_book: Hinduism – Lord Vishnu is said to take many avatars, each fulfilling a different purpose. Krishna, in the Vishvarupa form, revealed countless manifestations of himself at once.

:open_book: Tibetan Buddhism – Padmasambhava is described as manifesting in eight forms simultaneously. The tulku tradition also recognizes multiple reincarnations of the same master alive at the same time.

:open_book: Christian Mysticism – Saints like Padre Pio and St. Alphonsus Liguori were reported to appear in two different places at once, a phenomenon known as bilocation.

:open_book: Sufi Tradition – Some masters were said to guide disciples in different locations at the same time, appearing in more than one form.

:open_book: Ancient Egypt – The Egyptians believed the soul had different parts: the Ka (life force) and the Ba (personality) which could move and act independently.

:open_book: Greek Philosophy – Plato wrote of the soul having multiple parts (reason, spirit, desire), which together shaped a person’s destiny.

:open_book: Indigenous Beliefs – Many Native traditions describe the soul as having different aspects — one that stays with the body, another that can travel during dreams or visions.

:blossom: Across time and cultures, humanity has always sensed that the soul is not confined to just one body, one role, or one form. The language differs, but the essence remains: the soul is vast, and sometimes, it may live in more than one stream at once.

I hope you read the book, living with the Himalayan Masters my blessed Dr. @gunjangaur0905
the sequel to which is At the Eleventh Hour, one day, the disciples of Swami Rama in Rishikesh reported that Swami Rama had visited their ashram. He spoke to them, gave specific instructions, and even shared prasad . The visit lasted long enough that everyone was convinced it was him in the flesh.

However, around the same time, another group of disciples hundreds of miles away — in a different city — reported that Swami Rama was with them. They, too, interacted with him directly and received teachings.

Later, when both groups compared notes, they realized the timing of the two visits overlapped exactly — it was not physically possible for Swami Rama to have traveled between the two places. Yet both groups were utterly certain of his physical presence.

When disciples asked him to explain how such a thing was possible, Swami Rama responded with a smile and said

“A yogi who has mastered the mind and learned to withdraw and project consciousness is not limited by the body. The body is a tool, not the Self. When one knows this truth directly, space and time are no longer obstacles.”

and from the book, “Miracle of Love” we see
there are several accounts of Neem Karoli Babaji appearing in two places at once or otherwise demonstrating awareness of distant events…

  1. A devotee traveling by train found himself in danger when the train derailed. He later swore that Neem Karoli Baba suddenly appeared beside him, guided him safely out, and vanished. When the devotee later visited Kainchi Ashram, he found Maharaj-ji sitting there as usual, smiling, and saying:

“So, you didn’t die in the train accident, hmm?”

The timing matched exactly. Others present insisted Maharaj-ji had not left the ashram that day.

While Ram Dass was in the U.S., he and others reported vivid experiences of Maharaj-ji appearing or communicating guidance in visions or inner experiences. Around the same time, visitors to Kainchi Ashram said Maharaj-ji mentioned those very people or events — as though he was aware of everything happening oceans away.

Neem Karoli Baba’s devotees frequently recount him knowing — in real time — what was happening far away:

  • He would mention letters that hadn’t yet arrived.
  • He would comment on someone’s thoughts before they spoke.
  • He once stopped a visitor and said, “Your mother is ill, go home now,” — which the man later found was true at that exact time.

and in the book “Love Everyone” by Parvati Markus

Several devotees report seeing Neem Karoli Baba in their dreams, giving specific instructions or blessings, only to discover later that someone at the ashram had received the same instructions directly from him at the same time. These experiences gave the sense that his consciousness could manifest wherever his devotees’ devotion called him.

Much like Swami Rama, Maharaj-ji discouraged fascination with miracles. he would say:

“Sab kuch Ram karta hai!

such manifestations are the play of divine consciousness… the science of consciousness is phenomenal isn’t it!

@venu That is such an extraordinary and elevating reflection. Thank you for sharing these sacred accounts.
Indeed, the lives of great masters like Swami Rama and Neem Karoli Baba remind us that consciousness is not confined to the body it flows freely through time and space when one has realised their true nature.
What seems miraculous to us is simply natural at that level of awareness .:pray::hibiscus:
