for mental or material objectives, through a material or emotional
need, or through a convenience or obligation between the people
who have been united.
In the case of the incarnation of children I can understand that this is
decided in the spiritual world. But the decision that two people are
united as a couple is perhaps not always made in the physical world,
once they are incarnate?
Certainly the final decision is made when incarnate. But I ask myself
what is the probability that two people who do not know each other,
from amongst so many thousands of millions, meet in a life. Chance? In
order for circumstances to come together, in other words, for certain
people to meet and have the opportunity to get to know each other,
it is necessary for an accumulation of circumstances to converge and
this is what is organised from the spiritual world. Also recognition that a
certain person will be somebody important in their life is an impression
which comes from the memory of the other life.
From what you are saying, I deduce that we can have different
partners in each incarnation, isn’t that so?
Yes, of course. Usually this is normal in worlds of your evolutionary level
and in addition it is often necessary for spiritual evolution, or it is the
consequence of actions in other lives.
What do you mean?
That even when soul mates, kindred spirits, are involved, if the defects
are stronger than feelings, they can end up separating, although only
temporarily, through not wanting to recognise or modify the bad
spiritual habits. Sometimes we only appreciate what we have when it is
lost. So in other lives they choose other partners with less affinity, but
who can help them modify these habits. In your world there are very
few couples who are united through love, because the majority pay
little attention to the inner self. The great majority do so for material or
emotional convenience or need, or sexual attraction, and only a small
proportion is united according to spiritual needs. In more advanced
worlds, where the spirits have already eliminated a great part of
egoism and are more in tune with their feelings, the majority of unions
occur for love, because kindred spirits unmistakably recognise each
other, and because they know that no satisfaction of material
yearning can make them happier than the mutual feeling that they
are experiencing. You will find few couples who are not soul mates
and not one that has been chosen based on egoistic interests.
