Your Soul Mate Is Your Karma

Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and their three daughters

Tonight is Election Night in the USA, so I'm writing this because the last one, Obama Wins 2012? only brings up this deeper question.Why do we look to the other to complete us; why do need relationships, and what do we have to learn from them?

We all have different karma and paths. But one vision I had was how humanity had so much to learn from its relationships, and the last century was one of the great ages where so many karmic threads would come together. in forming connections with time, places, and people..now almost ending in its effect, yet all the more powerful for that.

So, I started my spiritual journey by saying we had to understand the soul mate. That yes, there was indeed, a soul mate for every person, yet we might spend a lifetime looking for him or her. And then, we must learn.

I've also written about balancing the male and female energies. There also was a time when, still searching, I believed that only by meeting one's soul mate could one achieve balance. Yet, even then, I knew that soul mates=karma, or in other words, are difficult, as experience found a way of telling me :) I finally came to realize: karma is a means to an end, and the soul mate is only one of the lessons we must learn.

Here is how it began:

The story, however, begins at the beginning, where all beings are created.

I was in God's peace and love. Then I was told it was time to leave, to be born on Earth.

I didn't really want to go, but God said it was the destiny of all his children to be born. To live and die, and to live again. For no one really dies, He said. There is a reason for your existing, and you cannot fulfill it in a mortal lifetime. Therefore, you are Immortal. Need you then fear anything?

I'm afraid of being alone, I cried.

You need not be afraid, He said, in his infinite kindness. There will always be Love...

Yes, there will be always be love, and the many relationships and types of relationships we have are the way of love. Even compassion is just another form of love that has to do with how we relate to others.These relationships are a way in which we learn about karma. That we are indeed, divided souls. But the soul mate is not the other half of the divided soul. Nor, do we really need to have one.

First of all, our souls are divided because of our separation from God. And our purpose is to reunite with God. It is only because we do not understand, that we manufacture the soul mate as a substitute for that relationship. And then we look for that being, and miss the real search.

The fact is we are so incomplete we feel that love can complete us, and this is based on need, and then we manufacture this idealized version of love (or an idealized version of God) and the fact is that no relationship is easy.

Still, there is such a being, and until we learn, we will always have this need within ourselves, to meet the soul mate.

I said this before. The soul mate, represents our greatest lesson. They are the spirit we feel at the back of our head till we meet them, the relationship that is the hardest to let go of, and often, the greatest pain. We go through many lifetimes without meeting them, yet when we do, there is this instant flash of recognition, of bonding, of fear. They can be at the other side of the world, one dying and the other just being born, they in spirit and we in the flesh, they can be the same sex as us, our father mother grandparent sibling or child, a teacher or friend, even, an abuser or torturer.There is an intensity to the relationship that can be very hard to let go of.

Here's the thing about karma. It too is the hardest lesson, and when we overcome it, we realize we still haven't learned anything. The greater lesson, I have found, has nothing to do with relationships, though for most, at the present state of development of humanity, that is all they can absorb. No, the greater lesson is dharma, your path and how to accomplish that..

Yet this too is important, that we learn how to solve our relationships.It helps to learn that the soul mate is not just a person, it also is an energy, it can also be an event, and, it can be a time, or, a place. We go to or are born in a place, and that energy focus gives us the greatest lesson we must learn. This time, from now till December, can be a soul mate for anyone or every one. The event can be Hurricane Sandy can be the soul mate that is the great lesson, or President Obama, the soul mate that Americans must learn from.

So you should know, in case I have managed to confuse you, those who've followed me so far and thought I meant one thing on the subject, sorry. My teaching is in layers, and just when you get to understand me, (or think you do :) then I will add another level that will stretch you further.

The thing is, most are stuck at the level of soul mates. Israelis and Palestinians are soul mates to the other, Africa is the soul mate to the person that will die of disease, starvation or slavery, your children might be your greatest lesson, to be an aboriginal person is the soul mate that represents the greatest karma, and whoever will have won the election tomorrow, that president will be the soul mate of the American people (and the world) for the next four years. For those who allow their lives to consist only of focus on the other, that is. You can step away from it.

I chose the picture of Akhenaten and his family to illustrate another point. Not many know that Pharaoh Akhenaten and the famous beauty Nefertiti were married, and, knowing them, many might consider that she was his soul mate as well. But, it actually was his daughter, held in his arms, who was his soul mate from many lifetimes. Yet, he loved Nefertiti.

And, of great consequence to every one, Pharaoh Akhenaten brought a monotheistic religion into power, that definitely influenced Moses, thus bringing Judaism, Christianity, and then Islam to the world. So, he was a soul mate to the world too, with all the lessons that entailed.

Yes, we all have a deep longing to meet that one person at the back of the mind. We want the ideal, and are willing to work for that, and to wait. But please,work on your relationships. And work on your karma. They are resolvable.

Above all, what we long for is the peace that comes from within God. Find God (here I will specify that God is neither a him nor a her, but a combination of energies) and you will be complete.

Search for the Soul's Mate

I didn't use to believe in Reincarnation, then, I did.

Not for any religious or philosophical reasons, but because I hadn't experienced it personally.

Yet: you go to a place, and you have been there before; you meet a person, whom you knew once. After we die, we go to a place where past present and future are clearly laid out before us, where our chosen karma is shown, where we decide whether to be born or not. Then, when we are born again, we forget all that we've learned. Only imperfect memories remain, what we call deja vu. Karma then is a process by which we learn the lessons of what is missing from within us, and we move on.
Our greatest fears come from our facing the nothingness, the unknown Void we call God. Why are we here, and what is our purpose in life? What and how can we define our relationship with that being? So we stumble in darkness, and find our sadnesses overwhelming.
But there is this, above all: There will always be love.

God's love, which surrounds and is never withdrawn from us.

Our parents, family, friends, children.

The ones we love and chose to love.

In this most karmic of lives in this most karmic of ages, we work through and learn most of our karma through our relationships. Here, the threads of our lifetimes are bound together in a way not found in other lifetimes. It follows then that we are always searching for love, as a relief from all that karma, but also, as a means of it.

The soulmate is a concept that has come to mean the most compatible and harmonious of relationships. A way to balance our divided souls, through the love of another. I see it differently. To me the soulmate is the greatest of our karmic relationships, through which we learn our greatest lessons. Meeting one is never easy, but always wonderful.

I met a woman in Toronto who remembered a past life in Egypt with me, and this started to open my own memories. Two years later, I went to a birthday party and there I met my soulmate. The night I met her, I had a vision in which I started to remember my past lives, and they weren't just snips here and there, they were a flood of images, like a movie. I started to write, a story of a Man From Atlan coming to Earth with a philososphy and a way of life called The Way of Atlan. So I wrote my first book, Man From Atlan in just a few months, then went to London to find a publisher.

We were in London when the past opened up even more, and I had a series of visions from 1975-77 where I remembered all my past lives, and my path became clear. I was the Christ, expected under many names, fulfilling the prophecies once brought to Earth by the Children of Atlan. And not only I but many others recognised that fact.

So I travelled the world, sometimes in spirit form and sometimes in the flesh, and touched many lives. I also chose to keep this very close to myself. People just weren't ready, and only after they had gone through so much pain would humanity be able to let go of individual ego and resistance. That time is now, for those who wish, and pray for help.

But every story has to have a beginning, and Man From Atlan, written in 1974, was that beginning. It is a love story, but it is also a story about Spirit. You can find it here http://web.archive.org/web/20050206191625/manfromatlan.com/manfromatlan.html
as a fully downloadeable book., and there will be more to come, about The Way and those lives which touched humanity.

Much of what I foresaw and warned people about has come to pass. I see the prophecies of the old times as true, but also open to misinterpretation. Reconciling our material and spiritual selves will not be easy, but it can be done, which is what I saw when I wrote my books.

I wish you Peace, Love and Joy.
