Complementary companion
QUESTION: Masters, this week I turn 72 years on earth. I have a good life and many friends. Except for 2 brief marriages and other short term relationships, I have walked my path without a partner. I long for a partner who complements me, but meeting the right person seems to elude me. Is it possible that this is what I came here to experience – being alone – or will I yet meet and have a wonderful relationship? ~Mary, US
ANSWER: We need to define relationship in order to answer your question. Any time you have an interchange with another being you are in a relationship, whether that presence is human, animal, or energetic. You are a very developed soul who has had hundreds of lifetimes in which you were restricted in the exchanges you had with others because you planned for long-term, committed relationships.
This life you decided to experiment with all the different types of relationships that humans could have. With each partnership you have had, whether in marriage, business, or friendship, you have learned how to read, understand, and share with those others for your mutual learning experience.
The relationships have been to facilitate life lessons. Take, for instance, your marriages: you needed to understand how strong you were and how not to be controlled by another. Every situation you have drawn to yourself has increased your wisdom. Your friends have been beacons lighting additional lessons by observation. You have experienced most of the possibilities.
You have had many wonderful relationships – some joyous, others painful, and others merely informative. What you think you need is one with a companion who adores you and constantly tells you how wonderful you are and that he/she can’t live without you. If you truly want that, start creating the energy to manifest such a meeting, but don’t be disappointed when it turns boring. You are an explorer.
You are never completely alone because your soul is connected to the universe. You can go inside and feel that shared unconditional love at any time.
