soul purpose
We Are All Worthy Of Forgiveness
Sometimes my brokenhearted clients ask when the person they love will also hurt the way they have been hurt by them. They have been wounded, sometimes very deeply, and they so desperately want to know that the one who hurt them will also suffer in the end. Preferably, a lot!
They desire retribution for all the pain, suffering and deceit they have suffered due this person. There has to be some kind of justice. Isn’t there some form of karma, they will ask pleadingly.
Some spiritual teachings and belief systems suggest that our most emotionally challenging experiences in this lifetime occur as a result of life lessons we have agreed upon with other souls, before being born into this particular lifetime. This concept is known as our life plan, soul agreement or soul contract, among other.
These challenges can present themselves as blockages and patterns, that we aspire to finally recognize on a soul level and then to rise above – too often after repeating the same lessons many times over during this lifetime and others.
Yes, it makes sense to me that there is a profound lesson in harsh, life-changing experiences, but it’s not so easy to see it that way, and to believe it could be something we would have agreed to, especially when we hurt so badly now.
Navigating The ‘Soul School’
Based on my communication with the ancients, my guides, angels, and those who have passed before me, it is my belief that we were born into our bodies as a soul, and we are in ‘soul school’ during our time here on Earth.
I also believe we chose to take our particular body, and chose other souls with whom we would interact during this lifetime, which can be referred to as our ‘soul family.’ We each agreed to play certain roles in each other’s soul growth.
Just like in school, once we learn certain concepts and master the fundamentals, our soul can choose to continue with advanced studies. Judging from my own accomplishments and challenges in human school, it made me stronger. When I stuck with it, I received the lesson of that particular subject and didn’t have to repeat it. I was then able to move on. The same I believe holds true for the soul.
When we keep doing the same thing we get the same result. When we master the spiritual lesson, we get to move on to things which has a greater match to the vibration we are expressing and desire.
When we get stuck, which we all will at some point, we keep repeating that pattern with either a person, situation or circumstance. The good news is we don’t have to stay there. Often they are not meant to be permanent; they are there only for a season in our life.
The latter can be difficult, sad, hurtful, and hard to understand sometimes. Because we often ‘want what we what, period.’ We can too often not imagine the greater possibilities. Also what we know, can feel safe and predictable.
Rediscovering Your Intuition
What sets psychics and mediums apart from everybody else? Why is it that we can see, hear and feel things that other people apparently cannot? There doesn’t seem to be a straight and definite answer to this question.
It appears that psychic ability, or ‘the gift,’ may be passed down in our genetic code, which implies that only a select few are inherently capable of being psychics and mediums. But, is this all there is to it?
Is it merely a question of being born with unique gifts, that the majority of people simply can never have, or is it a matter of following a certain life path, with associated experiences and attitudes, which then prompts or enables someone to develop certain abilities or skills that mostly lie dormant in others? Is being psychic the result of nature, or nurture?
As with many others forms of human ability and achievement, psychic ability is probably a combination of nature and nurture. It is likely that certain people are born with predispositions to certain psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance or mediumship. However, like all other human talents, these gifts still need to be nurtured if they are to grow and evolve.
However, I also do believe that everybody has a certain degree of psychic ability, more commonly known as ‘intuition.’ This is not to say that anyone can be a psychic medium – just as anyone cannot be an accomplished artist or sports star. It simply means that there is probably a base level of intuitive ability present in all human beings, and that some of us have more of it than others. Continue reading
Healing The Pain Of Losing Your Beloved
Understanding the true nature of our soul journey, how does one cope with the pain of physical separation when our loved ones leave the physical form? There is no easy way to cope with the grief of separation from a beloved. It opens the water ways of deep emotion that rise and fall like the waves on the sea.
Even in the super-excellent times of Radha and Krishna, the supreme divine feminine and masculine described in the ancient spiritual texts of Srimad-Bhagavatam, waves of love in separation were displayed and described to the ultimate pure degree. These transcendental writings identifies the eternal realm of divine love as the original clear source of all that we experience here in a dimly reflected form, including the pain of being parted from the physical presence of a dear soulmate.
So, what can we learn from this source that we can mirror in undergoing this heart aching distress in our own lives?
The first lesson we can take away from the transcendental example is that pain in separation is a gift of love. It arises in direct proportion to the depth of the soul-to-soul connection shared between two people. Thus, every pang, however painful, is like an ornament decorating the heart with the truth of that blessed union. It embodies a reminder not only of the person, but of the great treasure we were fortunate to hold in our arms…and still in our hearts. It invites us to feel grateful for the rare opportunity we had received to experience such deep love in this world. Continue reading
Living Ecstatic Bliss By Remaining Open To Life!
Nothing is for certain. We are not locked in. Everything is at our disposal. We are as free as the wind. Responsibility remains with ourselves, while duty and obligation have no place in our lives, when subjected onto us by someone else. It’s an inside job. The greatest disservice and most fierce act of unkindness we will ever do to another is when we negate, abate and sublimate our ‘natural and convenient’ innate desires.
Unless we are authentic and the real deal, we do not, have not, and will not show up for our lives, relationships and work. We are merely playing ridiculous games of pretense. Regrettably and stupidly, not the first one of them fulfills, sustains or registers. It’s simply a dreary monotonous merry-go-round.
The long and short of it is this: it matters what we do – but only to us! If we are doing anything for anyone at anytime, for any other reason than for the gut-driven, instinctive passion that drives us to express our deeply embedded sublime, sensual, sacred, sexual, artistic natures, we are nothing but disposable phonies. We are merely walking around, in a desperately empty, apathetically numbed, half-awake daze… haphazardly avoiding the next car that may plow right into us. The one and only problem with that unlived scenario: we won’t even know what hit us. Our short time here on Earth would have been null, void and without meaning.
What meaning, you may ask? You might not see any meaning, but you know you are here for some reason or purpose, you just don’t know what that is. Of course, you don’t, because you have not showed up for your life, yet. You walk around with either a chip (boulder) on your shoulder, because your life hasn’t’ worked out as you planned. Or maybe you are displaying an exalted sense of elevated importance, thinking you deserve more than you have.
A Time For Turquoise
In town today, I passed a jewelry store predominantly showcasing pieces of turquoise jewelry. I instinctively looked at my hand. Yes, I was wearing my turquoise ring!
Some eight years ago, as I sat in my monthly psychic circle, my father came through with a no-nonsense message for me to “wear the turquoise ring!” The other sitters in the circle looked a bit taken back, because they had no knowledge of me owning such a turquoise ring.
And so, I did wear it for a while. But, in time, it increasingly remained in my dressing table drawer. However, recently, in a profound reading I had with a trusted medium, the turquoise ring was brought up again, and in even less uncertain terms this time! So, now I’m wearing it again, upon dad’s insistence.
Turquoise is known in metaphysics for its protective qualities. When I was studying Aura-Soma, some twenty odd years ago, I was always drawn to turquoise as a color. Aura-Soma is a method of color therapy, as well as a divination system based on colors, originally devised by British pharmacist and chiropodist Vicky Wall.
I soon learned that the color combinations, and the sequence in which I chose the turquoise, were both relevant to my past lives in Atlantis. This interpretation by my course mentor made absolute sense, because in two very significant past life regression sessions later on, these lifetimes in Atlantis also featured very strongly. Perhaps this is why I always loved the color so much, even from a very young age.
The Hidden Meanings In The Letters Of Your Name
When you embark on the awesome, unconscious probing of your inner spiritual nature, any demystifying, esoteric approach can be helpful and appropriate in revealing deeper understanding and insight about who you really are. A lesser known, but validly pertinent psycho-analytic tool available to us is the metaphysical analysis of the shapes of the letters of our name.
It is also known as grammatomancy (divination using the letters of the alphabet), and it is best used in conjunction with Numerology and Astrology. The ‘alphabetic alchemy’ of the letter in your name can be applied as an investigative detecting rod, to unravel certain latent gifts locked within a person’s psyche. One can apply this technique as a beginning barometer and incisive indicator, while eliciting a psychological search for meaning and clarification in the personality.
Hidden in the letters of our names is a treasure house of unexplored truths, which not only educate and enlighten, but also entertain. Specific energy vibrations are attached, or attributed to each letter of the alphabet.
But, more importantly, the cosmic reality interwoven in the unique blending of the individual letters comprise a specific destiny, not automatically disclosed at the conscious level. How the chosen letters are strung together, comprise a certain alchemical constitution of sorts, not unlike the various essential molecular elements which make up, let’s say, a piece of furniture. A far-fetched proposition, I realize, but not altogether, unlikely.
