Out of nowhere, he or she walks up
and
looks
into your eyes. Something in his or her eyes compels you to look
back. Dreams ensue in the next few days that let you know
something
wonderful has happened to you. This
is often what it is like to meet
someone
with whom you have deep spiritual connections.
We
may not know why or where, but we
know
that
they are familiar. These connections can either be strongly
attracting
or strongly repelling. You may also feel a gentle feeling of
being
familiar, such as with a friend. Often, these connections are
called
soul mates. I have found that we have many circles of soulmates
in
the spirit world who work with us on particular qualities or essences.
You might be part of a group of "freedom fighters", those who fight
injustice
and dogma, a group dedicated to heart healing, as well as many more.
Depending
on the issue you are working on in any one lifetime, you will incarnate
with those mates working on that same issue. They may appear as
coworkers,
teachers, students, spouses, parents or others. You will not always get
along easily with all of them, but you will consistently find that each
one helps you round out your rough edges in some way. For example, one
of your soul mates might be your mother who dominated you, but when you
are told what her purpose was, it might be something like "you needed
to
learn to stand up for yourself." There are those we resonate with and
love
deeply, and you can be assured that even if you were not able to make a
life-long connection in this life, you will see that person in the
spirit
world greeting you with everlasting love when you leave this life. We
never
come here alone, without people who recognize us in Spirit.
What
I have found in my work is that
we are
on a journey to reconnect consciously with our true spiritual selves,
or
our Higher Selves. We have soulmates who help us do this.
They
are able to do this because they see often what we overlook...our
deeper
spiritual being. Part of the reason we are in love with them is
that
we know they see us. We feel understood. A soulmate is
someone
who can see you better than most other people can.
A Special Note for Those
Needing
Relationship
Help
I
do a lot of readings and healings
for
people
regarding relationships. I can tell you if you are experiencing
pain
about a relationship, the best thing is to leave matters to your Higher
Self, and draw your focus away from obsessing over the loved one as
much
as possible. Balance yourself by going back to your center, in
whatever
way that makes sense to you. The best way to draw love into your
life is to, strangely enough, walk your OWN path without actively
looking
for that love. When you walk your own path, you are connecting
with
your own spirit's light and energy, and subsequently, the universe
harmonizes
with you. I find that this works for everyone, including
me.
Your personality is the part of you obsessing, while your
spirit-self
knows how to let the bigger picture take over.
I
will let Zachariah, one of my
prominent
guides,
answer some common questions about Soul Mates:
(More about
Zachariah at
the
bottom of this article)
About
Soul Mates in general:
"Your
connections with your divine
brethren
here on earth is to help you remember the love that is yours in the
world
of spirit, your true home. On earth, you feel you have to connect
with this person or that person to find love. You find that you
do
not like this one, but you like that one. If you are among people
you do not like, you feel unloved and alone. In Spirit, love
permeates
you like the air you breathe. There is no lack of love to be
found
anywhere. The various connections you find are to rekindle your
memories
of your True Self. Remember that it is Divine to know that All is
One. When we are living as separate beings, we are seeing aspects
of the One".
Why
is it that when you meet a
particular
spirit
in a person, you feel drawn and in love with that person?
"That
is a being with whom you have
had
happy
experiences, who makes you feel at home, understood and seen.
There
are beings we meet while in earth life who make it easier for you to
tolerate
the feeling of separateness, loneliness and harshness. You help
each
other. It has to be agreed on by your divine plan for the current
life to have beings such as this come in. You determine what you
want to learn in any given lifetime, and this being has to fit into
your
overall plan. If there is too much resonance (matching), you may
give up on your plan. If you have too much disharmony, you may
lose
heart. The goal is to strike a balance...to have enough comfort
of
Home, and enough disharmony to work on solving".
What
about Soul Families?
"There
are groups of beings whom you
have
done
work with in other lifetimes who come into your life as a cohesive
group.
You may not all be in one family, but there will be ties of common
work,
belief systems, vicinity, etc. There can be several of these in
one
lifetime, depending on how active you are in reaching out to
others.
You are here to solve the apparent disharmony of earth life, to bring
it
in essence back to the way it is in Spirit, which is Divine
Harmony.
If you are someone who is reaching out, touching many lives, you will
have
the help of soul families who align to help get the work done.
The
feeling with these is similar to the feeling of kindred spirits...a
sense
of home, of recognition. However, groups such as these form to
help
get work done. They tend to have agendas, such as focusing on
children,
or the elderly, or the young parents in affluent societies who look for
deeper spiritual guidance. Some have goals of reaching
internationally,
of touching something of all human life. Your groups help you
achieve
these lofty goals. You would not be able to do this alone.
The agendas are similar to work that these beings did in other
lifetimes,
as well. You meet these families when you begin the work that is
their hallmark. You may meet families who may simply support you
with love on your path, but you will be ready for that support".
How
do you meet the right person for
you?
"You
meet this person when you are
ready on
your path. You will most likely not meet this person before you
have
begun your work as a spirit. If you are young when you meet a
"soul
mate" then you have already cemented in your mind who you are, and you
know generally what path you are on. You meet kindred spirits
sometimes
when you do not know who you are, and these are to remind you who you
are.
The best thing to do is to resolve to fulfull your soul's yearning to
find
Home, or to find peace. These are examples of beginning your
work.
However, remember that no one is left here alone. There will be
someone
who will come into your life to help you pick up your hopes
again.
You may not meet one person who remains for the rest of your lifetime,
but if this is the case, you will meet several who are kindred spirits
or "soul mates" (same thing), each one appropriate for the time.
You come to see yourself as quite a being, not being alone, but
containing
all that you need within the asking and "arm's reach". You
realize
the answer does not lie outside of yourself, but within your own
spiritual
self, your divine connection."
Why
is it that we have so much pain
over
relationships?
"Relationships
are the very thing
that
present
us with the paradox of separation/no separation. We are born into
a world alone, albiet into parental hands, and we leave the world
alone,
albiet in loving hands. While we are here, we think we are alone
unless we find love in another. It is an illusionary fear of
being
alone, of being ostracized, of dying and entering an eternal
abyss.
Relationships make you face that fear. Whether you are breaking
up
and finding new relationships regularly or staying in one throughout
your
lifetime, you have your own way of dealing with facing the abyss in a
relationship.
The greater the difference in your being, the more fear you are facing
in being together. There is no judgment on same sex
relationships.
They are mirrors just as opposite sex relationships are. They do
the same thing: present mirrors of the opposite to a defined degree to
each other. There can be great difference even in same sex
relationships.
"There
is an experience on earth that
does
not exist in Spirit. It is a focus and an intensity of emotion
that
is not present in Spirit. To share the experience on earth with
another
is a sublime thing. However, life in the spirit world is sublime,
also. It is less focused and more flowing. There is great
joy
in the world of Spirit in knowing others".
How
will relationships change with
the
Ascension?
"Those
of you in relationships will
see the
totality of your lives together, not just this one or that one.
You
will see that you are in relationship to Spirit, not just to a person
or
a spirit. Unconditional love will predominate, and all will be
known.
Divine humor will be unescapable, because dramas are seen as games and
nothing more. However, the experience of relationships does not
disappear.
There is more joy in them as you move up in frequency".
Is
there a difference seen with
different
levels
of Ascension or dimensions?
"Those
in the lower levels will be
the
strongest
believers in polarities. (Questioning what this means about gay
relationships)
There is no need for everyone to be heterosexual or homosexual, but the
trend toward understanding both sides, and a relaxing of gender
identification
goes with beginning to see others as spiritual beings rather than as
polarized
beings. You can see how this extends to intergalactic (and
interracial)
relationships, as well. People become free to be who they are,
rather
than the roles they are playing. Different dramas are played out
to experience all facets of being in relationship with the expression
of
another. Whether you experience all facets or not, you benefit
from
the experiences of others who do".
About
Zachariah
I
first discovered him in a session
with
Jaculin
Dorman. She said he was my master guide at the time, and I saw
him
as a man of about 70, but without wrinkles. He dressed as in
Roman
or Grecian times with a white tunic and sandals. He has blue eyes
that see into eternity, and white hair combed straight back. He
is
surprisingly funny, extremely loving, and can be ruthlessly
honest.
He does say that it is not easy to be a guide. People are under
the
impression that guides run our lives and know everything. He is
multidimensional
and sees everything, but he still gets stymied by following me
around....so
that might give you some idea of the power of free will! He wrote
the book of Zachariah in the Bible and the Qu'ran, which he says is
what
he did in his earth life. He has ultimate compassion for what we
are going through in our earth lives, and those who feel him often
cry.
I find that any experience of true Spirit makes me cry, as the love
there
is so beyond love here on earth. The really spiritual people you
find in life are funny and unafraid to hold you with divine
tenderness.
I see that I can hold this beautiful energy when I let my true spirit
flow,
such as when I am doing readings. However, I have my stuck times
like most human beings do!
I
will post a picture of Zachariah at
some
time in the near future.
Walk
in Divine Joy
