I believe that every person we meet this life, for any length of time is from the past anyhow. That is what the Master's have said. We are just given a fresh start to make things better this time around or build on what we have worked on previously. We can't control the response of others but we can be kind from our end.
Isn't it too much to say that we already met
'every person we meet in this life'? I mean, you make it sound as if there is no room for new meetings.
i do not know the answers to such questions mccoy. i know i have heard the monks say that the people we meet this life we have met before.... to what extent this is true or untrue i have no way of knowing at this stage in my evolution. i have learned this though; Some people we meet and share love with r not capable of friendships or love. They only can 'love' and express friendship in a very limited personal way. If for some reason your outlook towards them is not satisfactory with their conception of friendship they often will make a break with you and blame the conditions of parting on you. It is very childish and shows a lack of spiritual understanding.
Taking it personally and feeling dejected only makes things worst and often people try to punish their 'friends and lovers' with different levels of abandonment. This is 10 year old behavior. Often people like this wonder why they were abandoned themselves by others. But to a observer it is obvious they r only perpetuating what they themselves have experienced. The vicious merry-go-round of karmic events continues. It is best for us to jump off while it is possible to sustain light injuries.
