Soul Groups

A friend asked me about soul groups. I felt she was thinking once you associated with one that it meant you stayed with them forever. Below is what I shared, based on what I've been taught, as well as seen, over the years.

~~~~~Start
 
As they say, a family that plays together stays together but it’s not for all eternity. As in anything in life, we may see things that interest us and move onto other areas that may give us other people to hang around with and learn from. It’s all part of life and learning. If not we may become stagnate. This learning is what helps us make better choices in life.

For instance, maybe in a past life you were curious about drug abuse. Maybe you felt you needed to understand it more, so you wouldn't judge it and be more understanding in their plight. However, in doing so, you got yourself in a destructive mess. Yet, you turned that lesson around to help you learn to be considerate and not harshly judge another’s path. You won’t want to take the path again, but you are now empathetic, and not just sympathetic, to their path. This decision could have been made by your soul alone or a guide/teacher helping you see that you were stagnate and needed to understand life more. 

There are many things to consider why we leave one field (soul group) of understanding and onto another one. You may have decided that you’ve learned all you can from one metaphysical group, for instance, and wanted to learn more from another. This may be the reason you were drawn to certain people in this lifetime. Once you feel you’ve learned all you think you can from one person, you may start looking for another. Think of it as going up the educational ladder of primary to higher learning, and eventually seeking out various teachers when it comes to honing a particular skill. Eventually, with all you've acquired, you become the teacher.

You couldn’t possibly do that with staying in one soul group because it may hold you back. It would be like always being an apprentice and never a master ... in any field of awareness.

~~~~~End

There are so many different scenarios of life's various paths. Some soul groups could have been created out of hate, via attachments, yet love changed them and they moved on. Some may have started out of love, out of curiosity, and maybe hate created the need to move on. Some may have move on too fast and had regrets. Some clung too long and couldn't move on without help. I believe that many of us have experienced at least one of those feelings.

As Heraclitus said: The only thing that is constant is change.
