Tests for understanding lessons
QUESTION: Masters I am married and not looking for love elsewhere. Then out of the blue I find myself connecting on a spiritual level to a dear male friend whom I’ve known for over a decade. He’s married also but feels the same as me. We don’t want to leave our partners but this connection we have is very strong. Energy in heart chakra very strong at times. Can you tell me the purpose behind this? Why do we feel the way we do about each other and why now? Is it connected to a past life? Michelle, UK
ANSWER: It has nothing to do with a past life but everything to do with the fact that you are from the same soul group and spiritually vibrate at the same frequency. You had agreed to get together at this time in your lives to test and see how you both were doing with your chosen life lessons and how much you understood about your essence.
Each of you had lessons concerning romantic love, honoring your journey through being your own person, understanding how to discern the things from which you can learn, and fully bringing clarity to your lessons. What is happening currently throws a spotlight on many of these training areas.
Society establishes the rules and regulations one is supposed to obey when it comes to relationships with those other than their spouse. These are controlled by the ego mind, which is controlled by judgment with a distinct black-and-white delineation.
Just as it is possible for a parent to love more than one of several children, so it is possible for someone to love more than one other individual. In learning about romantic love, you have encountered the unconditional love that most spouses demand and the attraction you find toward another in addition to your husband. Allowing yourself to feel this “forbidden” love is honoring your journey by experiencing all facets available to you.
Now clarity and discernment appear and give you training about how to handle the situation. Clarity lets you see how your spouse would react to your other love and whether you wish to discuss your attraction to your friend. Discernment helps you decide what you want to do to shape the future relationships with both these men.
In a spiritual perspective, nothing is determined to be right or wrong. All are merely experiences from which the soul may learn. Each soul makes its own reality based upon exercising their freedom of choice. Exam time is here, and choosing the answers is up to you.
