Contracts and the future
QUESTION: Masters, I was wondering if you could talk more about the nature of individual and group contracts made pre-incarnation. How they are made, planned, and how our free will affects not only our own progression but those we have contracts with one on one and as a group. Any words of advice for comfort in life’s situations or words of advice on how we can hold new perspectives as our collective history plays out? ~Jason, USA
ANSWER: Before a soul incarnates on Earth it has selected what life lessons it wants to study. Some of the lessons might be quite complex and involve the assistance of other souls, which is when contracts are made. The agreements are rarely specific but just cover a general desire, such as a wish to deal with self-image issues. This could appear as a constant bullying from a peer, a mis-interpretation of a statement by someone who is greatly admired, or a family member daily making fun of your appearance.
Group contracts occur when you want to be part of a winning team, participate in a disaster, or help restructure a devastated area. The intensity of these sorts of events results from having a number of participants, rather than only one person, experiencing them. In the pre-planning, you don’t specify a flood or a tornado or an earthquake; you just ask for something that will give you the experience you want—it might even be a building collapse from inferior materials.
Once contracts are in place, several things can still prevent them from being carried out. All souls have freedom of choice, and that never leaves them. If they have learned the lesson in some other fashion before the contract has been completed, they will find some way to avoid the disaster, or appreciate their self-worth before it is thrown in their face by the contractor.
The most important thing you, as a soul, can ever do in experiencing your life is to live in the moment while accepting all your own power by making the decisions that feel right to you. Give up a need to be a part of society unless it resonates with where you are at that time. Go with the flow; give up anticipations. The universe will send to you what you need to see. Get out of judgment and merely evaluate what you observe and see if any of it will help you on your journey.
