LONGING and BELONGING
When a couple has a sense of friendship and belonging, even when they only just meet, this shows that there is a life plan at play, a decision from before incarnation.
ONENESS
We who are One can never be separate from one another, but we can create the illusion of separation in the physical realm. In our nonphysical Home, where no such illusion exists, we know that we are cells in the heart of one Divine Being, united by Love in one cosmic pulse. On Earth, seemingly confined by the apparent limitations of a human body, we perceive ourselves as distinct from one another. Only the most powerful of brings can create such illusion. Only the most courageous ones challenge themselves to live in it.
LIVING ALONE
Living alone is an opportunity to intensify the decision to imagine oneself separate from the unity of any one or all souls within the ONE. And, family recreates, though dimly, our feeling-knowing of the unity that is our natural state of consciousness. The experience of separation from Home, mate or lover, mother or family may bring great light to the soul, but it is not for the faint of heart. A soul's pre-birth decision to experience any combination of these is the bold act of the spiritual warrior.
