QOTW: Life Lessons
Find a Conversation

I've been pondering something lately, ever since I read an article posted on another board about soul mates/families. One of the statements made was that we make agreements with others souls before incarnating to accomplish certain goals during this lifetime, to learn certain lessons. I've heard of this before. DH fully believes he made a pact with his mother in this lifetime to become injured (he was severely burned as a toddler) in order to learn humility, because he'd been in a position of power in a past life and abused it.
I certainly believe in reincarnation. And I believe that we sometimes reconnect with souls we've known before. It's an amazing, exciting, sometimes un-nerving experience to 'recognize' someone instantly. But I'm not sure how I feel about this idea of pre-incarnation agreements to work together. I look at the soul friends in my life and wonder just what I'm supposed to be learning. What the lesson is. How am I supposed to even know? Or am I supposed to know?
So what do you think? Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, do you believe we come into this life to learn a particular lesson? Maybe more than one? Any ideas what yours might be?

Wow.
I agree.
You start out influenced by your family.
Then it's classmates.
Then it's your won family (DH, kids, etc.)
Each age has it's own cirlce of influences...

You are most probably right - we get snippets as we need them, perhaps, and some people wouldn't recognize a snippet if their guardian angel appeared before them to explain what it is.
Which, in my case, they almost had to do. I can be a little bit dense in matters like these, yanno. I always ask in my meditation that if they have to give me a sign about something, if it could be in a big neon one because I am sure I will miss the subtle ones
One of my closest friends thinks that her son might have been my son in a former life, because when he was around 4/5 years old he'd tell her that I have a mummy tummy and that he'd like to kiss my tummy. He didn't react that way to other people's stomachs, only mine. After he kissed it he declared to his mother that it was definitely a mummy tummy. Strange, eh?
I believe we are spiritual beings in physical bodies because that is the best way to learn the lessons.
I believe that we are all here for a reason.
I spend my time on
that people have a reason to meet a need of another.
This question is too deep for me to answer right now. I'll have to think about it....

I'm not a pagan, but I think it may give you more opportunity to understand the Divine Feminine.
So what do you think?
