Live in the light of the spirit With each person who passes through your life, you have a soul agreement. What this means is that long ago, in the realm of the soul,
you promised to have some special encounter, share some life shaping
experience, complete some soul honing work with that particular soul in this
life. Soul agreements are commitments to the evolution of our individual
souls in conjunction with one another, as one by one we make the journey to
that state of seamless awareness that the mystics called enlightenment. It is
because of these agreements on a soul level that at times you feel a
mysterious strange connection with some other person, why difficult people
may at times inexplicably inhabit your life, why you may find your self on a
journey with a particular person as if you had an unwritten contract to fulfill and then discover
that, as if by amputation, your association is suddenly over. As the community of souls who have gathered together in life on earth, we
have agreed not only to remember for each other the state that was our
origin, but also to act out whatever portion of the endlessly changing human experience we have been called upon to play to
ensure our souls growth and that of the souls to whom we have made these deep
promises. Some of us are here to be beautiful and strong, others to be cranky
and difficult, some to die young and teach us through the searing heartbreak
of great loss, others to live long and instruct us through wisdom. But no matter what role we are playing, we
are all enacting a part in that one great spiritual destiny, which is to
remember our eternal essence and move toward ultimate union. So it is with every person you meet, each soul who crosses your path and
affects you wonderfully and terribly, briefly or for a lifetime is here for
that reason, and every relationship you engage in is but a small scene in a
vast, ever unfolding human experience that is being endlessly enacted for the
purpose of your soul’s development. When you recognize this, you will
suddenly, breathtakingly see that each person has been brought to you with a high and elegant purpose, that each
soul has come to touch your soul and teach it, that each relationship exists to hasten our soul’s beautiful awaking. No longer is
anyone a stranger; no longer can any of your relationships be seen as
failures or mistakes. In the light of the spirit, we see that we are all
playing out roles that are the fulfillment of an exquisite and all encompassing plan. To recognize this is to step out of conflict and into
grace, for when we realize that life has been so beautifully designed, we
will bask in the light of the spirit; we will live in absolute peace. Amen. |
