Understand your SOUL PURPOSE in this LIFE! (reincarnation basis)

The spiritual purpose of your incarnation can be pretty much anything, and even though I cannot tell you what’s your specific purpose, I can give you a map to figure out!

So today I will talk about 4 common topics found on reincarnation books: soul mission, challenges and lessons, contracts with other souls and karma. I hope this post can help you to understand the soul’s point of view when it decides to have a human experience.

In spirituality, Earth is known as a school of limitations and dualities. Limitations because of all the social conditioning and limiting beliefs we have, and dualities because everything here seems to have two opposite parts such as male and female, positive and negative. We might not realize it, but they belong to the same energy!

Besides these two topics, the souls also plan specific things they want to explore on this planet. The intention is to learn and expand through these experiences, so they can evolve to higher levels of consciousness!

Soul Mission

Your soul mission is the main goal for your incarnation, and you might have more than one! If you want to know what’s your mission, think about the most remarkable aspects of your life, good and bad ones.

The special parts of your personality and your natural talents are your gift to the people around you, and to the world. Your struggles, especially the ones that are recurrent in your life, are your biggest lessons here!

Not everybody has a mission on a global scale, but the way I see it, the main goal serves a purpose on both levels, collective and individual, for example:

 People with difficulties related to gender and sexuality might be learning how to balance their male and female energies. And on the collective, they are helping society to break a lot of taboos and limitations!
 Or people that have simple jobs, like serving and cleaning, might have a personal purpose to learn humbleness. And on the collective, we need them! Otherwise, how would be the world around us if nobody was cleaning it?

In the books I read, I saw all sorts of stories! Souls that wanted to experience physical strength or limitation, souls exploring violence, leadership, arts… and even souls volunteering to help others to learn their lessons. The most common example that I found about this, is when a soul volunteers to come and die during childhood, so the adults can learn something from that experience, like detachment or even compassion.

There is even something called resting life, if you never heard about it, it happens when the soul had many difficult reincarnations, and it decides to take a break from the lessons, and just have an easy and relaxing experience.

It’s hard to cover everything because it’s a very wide subject, so if you want to learn more, I recommend you read about past life hypnotherapy sessions. Michael Newton’s books “Journey of Souls” and “Destiny of Souls” are a great material to get started, and they will help you to understand better how it works.

Challenges and Lessons

When you go to the university and you chose to study a specific subject, you have a curriculum with everything you need to learn to get your degree, right? The same happens when your soul decides to come to Earth, it chooses the main mission, and to complete it, it has to go through challenges and learn with them!

And sometimes, the souls choose extra lessons so they can progress further! I remember reading in one of Michael Newton’s books, the ones I just mentioned, that one of his clients described the process of choosing difficulties as picking up marbles to fill a bowl, and some souls pick up too many of them!

I always say in my videos, if you have a pattern in your life that repeats itself over and over again, ask yourself what you should learn with that. Only when you master a lesson, and you have a deep transformation happening inside you, you will be able to see a reflection of that in your reality!

And by the way, if you stop blaming the world for your problems, and understand that they are an important factor to make you who you are, and if you give them a positive meaning to the point of feeling grateful for them, you can get a lot of healing done in your life just by doing that!

Contracts with Other Souls

We have many contracts with other souls in life, sometimes from the same group, other times not. These encounters might last 5 minutes, 5 years or even a lifetime! Every time you meet someone that has a huge impact on you, positive or negative, be sure you have a contract with this person!

In each life, we play different roles with different souls, so we can grow as much as we can with each other! If we would always interact with the same souls, we wouldn’t learn different things because the dynamic would always be the same.

These contracts are about the exchange that will happen in life between the two souls, sometimes it’s mutual, sometimes it’s one direction only, and sometimes they are really difficult because of karma, which I will explain better in the next topic.

Though I must say that soulmates might hurt you as well, and it’s not necessarily karma! In one of her books, Dolores Cannon tells the story of a client that went for a session because he wanted to understand why he was stabbed by three strangers and left to die on the street.

During the session, when Dolores accessed the guy’s “Higher Self”, it said something like: “Ah, those 3? They are his best friends! They rehearsed many times in the astral world when he was sleeping, so they could make it happen in his physical life!”.

The “Higher Self” explained as well that the man was on a path very different from what his soul wanted, to correct that, the plan was to give him a shocking experience so he could redirect his life, and it actually worked! His soul wanted that, and the 3 friends volunteered to do the job!

It’s crazy how the soul logic and the human logic are so different sometimes! Luckily these sessions are recorded, otherwise people wouldn’t believe it! Can you imagine how this guy reacted after the session, when he listened to this answer coming out from his own mouth?

Any special encounters that you have in life, even when they look painful, do your best to understand how they affected you in a positive way!

Karma

A lot of people talk about karma but not many really understand what it is. The general idea is that karma is the payment for something bad and that’s not how it works! We are used to the idea of judgment and punishment, but they do not exist in the spirit world! I know, it took me some time to understand and accept that as well!

In all the spiritual books that I’ve read, and from my personal experience with the light beings in the other side, I can tell you that they love us unconditionally, it doesn’t matter what we do! They don’t judge us, they guide us to grow spiritually, we are the ones that judge ourselves about the things we could have done better!

What’s karma then? It’s about balancing energies! It’s a school of dualities, remember? To master each aspect of it, we need to experience both sides, in this way we can understand the whole! You cannot comprehend light if you don’t experience darkness. You cannot learn how life is precious if you don’t experience it being taken away from you because of a stupid reason. Can you see how it works? They are like two sides of the same coin!

Now, karma between souls is a different story! Some souls drag karma through many lifetimes because they didn’t learn yet how to forgive and let go. Every time I watch a movie that has revenge, it reminds me about how karma is created and maintained between two souls, and sometimes it takes many lifetimes until they understand how to dissolve it!

Your attachment to the idea that someone owes you something and must pay for it, is what creates karma! And sometimes, even after death, the soul carries this feeling! You can dissolve karma instantaneously if you detach yourself from this kind idea, forgive and release the person.

Another thing that I want to cover on this topic, is about what some people that believe in reincarnation think about the ones with physical disabilities. I heard many times them saying things like “probably they are like this because they are paying for something really bad that they did in a past life”, and honesty that’s not nice!

A soul might choose an imperfect body for many different reasons. Think about it, this human experience is already hard enough, can you imagine how much harder it is for them? To me, they are an example of strength and determination!

So please, let’s be less judgmental and have more compassion towards each other, and let’s learn and practice more unconditional love, this world needs a lot of it!
