Value relationship mirrors

Relationships are mirrors for us to learn more about ourselves. Relationships are mirrors of (1) who you were, (2) where you are now on your path and (3) your potential (who you know you are inside but have yet to manifest).

If an issue or person has an emotional "charge" to it, then you still have work to do. This mirror can feel challenging as it reflects the things you have not yet finished in your karma. These are matters we resist recognizing, accepting and integrating.  Interacting with admired individuals gives you a glimpse at who you could be, if you let go of thoughts that hold you back. 

All relationships exist so each human being can work on the spiritual self and karma. It is a process of polishing our own mirror. We do not see ourselves in the reflection and forget who we really are is beyond the mirror.  The more you clear up emotional triggers/ issues, the more you discover you model the ‘right’ person, that person you tell yourself you are looking for in a partner or other relationship to feel whole.

Its helpful to remember every human is a spiritual being choosing to have a physical experience. That is, you are a soul in a body (for a while). Soul Mates are other souls that have agreed to connect with you on this planet for a purpose. In some cases it is to clear up karma, finish unfinished business, to achieve a particular goal together. When Soul Mates first meet they sense deja-vu. Every encounter is a pointer to what is beyond the mirror.

The secret to living fully

The secret to living fully is to see things as the Soul or highest possible perspective sees them.   That is, the Soul does not judge. It does not believe or disbelieve.  It does not register significance or insignificance.  The Soul does not fear.  What specifically can you do to live fully? Consider these five points:

1) Love with equanimity.  Is the Soul's Way or Divine Way to love universally and unconditionally.  This is about seeing through your own conditioned filters, beyond judgement, to recognize the same light in everyone.  Be like the sun.  It shines on everyone and does not make choices.

2) View every experience as a chance for Soul lessons.   Be aware that as Soul comes to recognize things, it is rejuvenated or transformed, then the body and mind follow.  Lessons are available in illness, relationships, financial challenges, mental confusion, emotional imbalances.  Any perceived adversity blocks the experience of unlimited being and infinite abundance that is known through living fully.

3) Offer humble service.  This is a Self-less Path. Help for the sake of helping.  Love as its natural.  Give because you can. Virtue can be measured by high-level Spiritual being.  As you offer unconditionally- loving service, universal peace and forgiveness, perceived difficulties dissolve, spiritual debt (karma) is paid. What expands within cannot be described. 

4) Show respect and compassion for all creatures. See yourself mirrored in all you encounter.  Recognize inter-dependence in the web of life, that everything is of equal value and part of a delicate balance. Nothing is better or more useful than anything else.  We depend on all else to survive and thrive.

5) Take full responsibility for how you respond to life.  You are the source of your own perception.  To see only messages of love and harmony in all you experience is to see as the omniscient Spirit does. Such is the essence of soulful living.
