Good afternoon, everybody! I hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday, with plenty of sunshine. We are having sunshine here in GA, mixed in with those sudden summer rainstorms. Humid, humid, humid!
Today I am posting again about spiritual families, with an emphasis on family members. The people who are our birth family members are often people we love from life to life. We form different associations with these people in each lifetime, as a spiritual growth pattern. These associations shift and change, as we grow in the spirit. In one lifetime, the person who is our mother, may choose to be our father, or even our spouse in the next life. This is so we can complete karmic debts and experience new opportunities for growth.
The love that we feel for our family members and friends continues from lifetime to lifetime. It may not continue in the same form, but it is still there. As an example, in one lifetime you may have a deep, romantic love for your spouse. Your spouse is much younger than you, and always looks to you for advice and support. In your next lifetime together, your spouse may choose to be your older brother or sister. They have chosen to be a guiding light in your life, and someone you can always depend on. Both of you will have a different learning experience, and will grow in the spirit as a result.
Sometimes we see families that do not get along, or even hate each other.
Parents and siblings can be estranged for years or never reunite. There are certainly many reasons for this, and not all of these reasons stem from past lives. Sibling rivalry, anger, pain, fear; all of these things can contribute to long-standing resentment in a family. We can bring old problems from past lives into our new life with us though. There may be karmic issues between family members that have gone on several lifetimes. That may sound difficult, but it means we have accepted another opportunity to resolve those issues.
There can be times when our enemies in one life become our family members in the next life. Yes, I know that sounds horrible! Again, this is to resolve karmic issues and for new spiritual growth. As an example, let's say that in an earlier life in medieval Europe, you are a male apprenticed to a blacksmith. This blacksmith is a nasty bully who makes your life miserable. You are given all the scut work and very little food. As a young man, you fall in love with the blacksmith's daughter. He refuses to allow your marriage, and sends his daughter away. You never love again, and also never forget your hatred for this man. As a result, in the next life, you and the former blacksmith agree to be family members. Remember, in my last post I said that these spiritual agreements happen between lives. In the new life, you have chosen to be the mother of the family, and the former blacksmith is your daughter. You are in control of this former blacksmith, he is now your child. There is much negative karma to be worked out here. It may take more than one lifetime to work out this karma. You may choose to grow spiritually and love this child unconditionally. You could just as easily make this child's life a terrible existence. This is where we have to choose our own path. It is up to us to make our spirit expand, or let it languish in the dark.
My next post will look at other spiritual family relationships. Until then, blessings from Psykiksister.
