Who said
God doesn’t have an interesting sense of humour, asks Mark Pitstick.
Relationships
are one of the best and toughest paths to self-realisation. Yogis who fast, remain celibate, take vows of poverty, and live
in caves have selected a difficult course. But that’s child’s play compared to being a house-holder, a term used
in India for one who pursues the spiritual path while having a job, raising a family, maintaining a home and all the concomitant
responsibilities. Now that is an arduous path!
Some say soulmates are the ones
who can push our buttons the best and who drive us crazy at times.
Others believe
that everything flows effortlessly and peacefully with soulmates. Either may be true at different times depending on the agendas
of the souls involved. Who said God doesn’t have an interesting sense of humour!
The issue of relationships becomes very interesting when we remember we each are eternal souls. Relationships are not
coincidental or unimportant. Think of the thousands of persons we encounter in our lifetimes; why do we form close and lasting
relationships with one person but not another? We have to deal with recurring negative relation-ships sooner or later. Why
not now?
Don’t be held back and experience a hell of lower quality living
because of unresolved relationship issues. Serious spiritual seekers will make optimal relationships a priority. Love is the
key and relationships provide a life long workshop for giving and receiving love. If persistent problems plague your relationships,
consider the soul or karma aspects in addition to usual counselling considerations.
One way to discern if you’re relating to a soulmate is to recall the first time you met in this life. Remember
the description of memory triggers or cues that are planned just before souls return for new incarnations?
In reviewing my first meetings with loved ones, time seemed
to stand still for a moment. My brain seemed to whirr faster than usual as if trying to comprehend the various energies and
feelings. I felt happy inside as our eyes met and we held the gaze longer than customary or comfortable during first meetings.
As one progresses toward greater personal growth and heightened consciousness,
relationships may encounter a new type of stress. The relationship may suffer if the gulf widens and interests remain markedly
different. The rapidly changing partner may be in an overzealous or self-actualising phase while the more orthodox partner
may be content with the status quo. Spiritual wake-up calls may be misinterpreted as a marital problem.
A major key to healthy relationships is to see the Divinity in each other. Relationships based solely
on lower chakra energies of physical attraction, dependency issues, and money are break-ups waiting to happen. The body may
grow old and the mind feeble but, viewed through eyes of love, the soul’s beauty always shines through. Continued
