Single Not By Choice?

Single Not By Choice?

There’s an overriding human need to want to pair with others. In fact, our society reveres doing so. But when you’re single. Well, you’re single. Even the term single sounds so cut off, doesn’t it?

If you’ve found yourself at this juncture in your life alone, or even if you are with someone but still feeling alone, remember this: There is no Me in He or She.

What does this mean? This means that your Soul Ascension, your Soul Path, was meant to be trod on by one person and one person only. And that is you. Therefore, yes, there truly is no me in he or she. 

Does that mean that pairing and wanting to pair or being paired is a “bad” thing. If you’ve followed my teachings/writings for any length of time, you know that I generally don’t teach that there is anything “bad.” In essence, there is only things that are. 

Why Am I Single?

As a reminder, we came to this physical plane, this EarthPlane realm, to live a human existence. At the same time, we came here to learn lessons that only the EarthPlane can teach us. That being said, the lesson of being “single” and being okay and better than okay with that single status is one of those lessons.

For here is the “thing,” as they say. There is no me in she or he. You may be tied to another; may enjoy another’s company; but in the end you leave alone as you came here alone. And in essence you truly are alone.

I don’t mean this to sound like a “downer.” In fact, once you embrace this knowing and feel it to your core and know that it is what you’ve been seeking all along, you will feel a freedom like you have never felt before.

Isn’t it interesting that we know this lesson intrinsically as children. Before we are told that there “should” be a we for us to be “whole,” we happily skip along our path, gleeful in the knowing that there is something new around every corner.
 

This is not to say that there can’t or won’t be others in your life with whom you shall “come together.” In fact, you most likely planned and are experiencing or will experience such unions. And they can be quite glorious unions!

It only means that if you are experiencing what many see as single not by choice, that you are learning what you had wanted to learn from the experience—that there is no me in he or she.

The lessons you learn, the paths you traverse, the mountains you climb and the breathtaking views you gaze upon are all experienced and savored with YOUR legs, YOUR limbs, YOUR eyes and YOUR mind on YOUR unique Soul journey to you!

Past Life Experiences

Past Life Experiences

Have you had a past life experience? A time in your life when you had major déjà vu? Where time seemed to stand still for a moment and you saw flashes of another time. And you were there during that other time?

My past life flashbacks started when I was in my early teens. My first flash was of myself as a sailor. That flashback to another life was a bit unsettling. I fell into the sea during a storm and drowned.

Powerful Past Life Experiences

It wasn’t until a few years later when I was 22 that I had another past life experience. This one occurred as I was driving back to Southern California after visiting San Francisco with two girlfriends.

We were in Central California, and I suddenly had the urge to pull off onto a side road. I told my friends I wanted to find a nice spot to stop and eat a snack. As I made my way off the road, I felt compelled somehow, as if someone else drove the car.

When we came to a lush meadow, I gasped and stopped the car. Getting out and standing at the edge of the road, I marveled at the gorgeous site in front of me. Glowing in the afternoon sunlight was miles of green meadow dotted with trees. And in the distance farmland.

What Past Life Experiences Can Teach You

While the beautiful site in front of me was a true feast for my eyes, I have to say that the feeling that engulfed me of pure wonder and joy and contentment is what took my breath away. Until that very moment, I hadn’t had such an intense, overpowering feeling of happiness and tranquility in this lifetime.

While I’d always loved plants and had started gardening at the age of 7, the experience felt like something much deeper, much more meaningful, much more purposeful, even.

As my friends got out some snacks and sat at the side of the road looking out over the meadow, I simply stood there and gaped. As I looked at the wondrous scene, I grappled for the reason the scene in front of me affected me so deeply. I didn’t get the answer that day, but I did become even more enamored with Mother Nature and her great strength and beauty. (It was also hard for my friends to convince me to get back in the car to make our way home to Southern California!)

How Past Lives Shape Us

Today, I know that when I saw the meadow, I connected with a past life where I had been at one with Mother Nature. I connected with my own soul in the guise of a past life as a farmer who lived off the land and who loved the land as his own—for I was a male in that lifetime.

That experience, which I know now was divinely time, has answered many questions for me in this lifetime. It explains my immense love of plants and my feelings of oneness with the earth. It has also taught me that I can revisit those feelings of pure joy and peace and tranquility by simply connecting with Mother Nature and Mother Earth.

Have you had instances in your life when you’ve felt such an affinity to a certain place or time or music or taste, even? If so, please feel free to comment and share your experience.

And when you do have such past life experiences, cherish and even nurture them. For they are a true calling from and for your soul.
