A guide, mentioned today, that the most challenging people in our lives
are our soul mates
It gave me a mixed reaction, for a while a sense of ah.. relief, and on the other hand
'what the hell, yeah right like xxxxxxxx is my soul mate! '
Then I got thinking, if a person who let's say, made me angry
was my soul mate, then through that particular energy,
I would only be learning a couple of crucial or normal lessons through being part of humanity.
Such as forgiveness, accepting my weaknesses, and perhaps using such ' anger or disruptive ' moments as a time to empower my personal strengths.
Her logic can be also be found in a story she mentioned, about a cute child who wants to play in the game of life.
She watches from above, and chooses to learn about forgiveness, considering humanity is constantly changing, with a whole array of experiences with one another. She tells God, that the person she will travel on this earthly plane with is her soul mate, the one who she has spent lots of life times with as journeying soul.
And through this particular game of life, they choose to put each other through much, but come out with the purpose of forgiving one another's deeds whilst they individually grow or aspire towards enlightenment.
Well it might not be believable to a 'grown - up' or somebody who already has fixed patterns in place. Yet, it's sweet, and it gives you a new way, or approach of viewing things, kind of like a gentle security.
