Do you go down the rabbit hole?
Many years ago, I worked with an individual on a particular project. This person came into my life through a referral from a friend. At the time, I was grateful for their assistance. It was a seasonal partnership that served an important purpose in my life.
During the final stages of this project, I would come to learn from my spiritual teacher that this individual and I had known one another in a past life. He further stated that our karma was now complete as a result of this collaboration.
The word karma is from the ancient Sanskrit language where it implies that our actions, both positive and negative may have certain consequences in either this lifetime or lifetimes to come. This explains why some relationships or partnerships remain seasonal, while others last a lifetime.
Reincarnation presents a unique opportunity to balance, heal, or complete our karma with individuals from our past lives. Its primary purpose is for healing. And there is nothing more special than continuing on with an enduring love from a former lifetime, whether it be with a parent, sibling, or friend. This is the gift of reincarnation.
One of my favorite pastimes involves looking through fashion magazines. As a trained Color Designer, this is my trip to the candy store. And there’s one celebrity in particular who seems to receive a great deal of media coverage, Jennifer Lopez. Lately, it appears as though her marriage to Ben Affleck has come to an end, which can lead to all manner of speculation. However, I do not view their short lived marriage as a failure. Instead, I see this relationship as two people completing their karma, which they were not able to do the first time around. Hopefully, in the near future they will each attract individuals who are more closely aligned in terms of values, interests, maturity, or lifestyle.
Ending a relationship doesn’t necessarily imply failure, it may simply signify moving on to the next level of relationship, consciousness, and even creativity or productivity. This knowledge has helped me to heal from past relationships, by viewing them from a higher and healthier perspective.
