Known vs. unknown

QUESTION: Masters, I’ve been married for 13 years with the impression that there is always something missing in our marriage. Today I’m able to feel that we are important to each other in spiritual matters, but I ask you if it is enough to keep two people together? I believe both of us know we mustn’t stay together any longer, but why we insist to be together? ~Adriano, Brazil

ANSWER: You two had many plans to assist each other in this lifetime and, as you have come to realize, have completed all your agreements. It now becomes a time when, to spiritually advance beyond where you are, you need to find stimulation from other people.

Your souls have let each of you know this, but all the wonderful times and learning experiences you have shared make it difficult to think of doing your life all over again with someone else. You have freedom of choice, and you can stay exactly as you are or you can split, still remaining in contact, and partner with others trying new experiences.

Change is very difficult for most humans. You spend so much time in one situation that it becomes a comfort zone – you always know exactly what the outcome of every event is going to be and you have no fear. When you think about doing something totally different, of which you do not know the outcome, you feel out of control and fearful of the results. This makes a lot of souls hesitant to move out of that comfort zone.

On the spiritual journey nothing is right or wrong. Everything you do is for the learning occurrences. Think abut it, talk it over, and then decide what your next step will be – alone or together.
