Faith in your feelings
QUESTION: Masters, recently I’ve been studying and researching reincarnation and Old Souls, as far back as I cn remember I’ve always had an interest in non-traditional belief systems and have questioned mainstream religion and teachings and have had ongoing debates with folks who think that my way of thinking is wrong in their eyes. Why is it so clear to me that there are many paths to the light even if they are all different they lead to the same thing. ~Lilly, USA
ANSWER: You have fully understood the soul’s ability to have freedom of choice concerning all factors in their human life. You have put aside beliefs that others have tried to force you to use to regulate your life. You have used your intuition and inner feelings to accept those beliefs which resonate with you.
While you have succeeded in learning this lesson you have not dealt well with your lesson on honoring yourself and ignoring the heckling from others about the way you have chosen to lead your life.
You live in a duality of positive and negative energies. People can only learn about themselves in such an environment by first finding they can have choices, then discovering what they are, and finally making the decision to choose their own from those available.
Since lessons require negativity, most of society feels more comfortable using negative patterns of behavior. It takes a long time for a soul to realize it hasn’t taken responsibility for its journey until it has made its own decisions. Some people spend their whole life letting others tell them what to do and what to believe. They don’t want to be “wrong” or different from the preaching of the majority of society.
So what if those you come in contact with don’t want to buck their parents, teachers, churches and society? You can share the path you have found that works for you but they must find their own. What they say and do can only irritate you if you allow it to. Relax and let them find their own path if it is a part of the lesson they chose for this lifetime.
It is perfectly all right to try and share your knowledge with others but don’t be vested in how they accept or reject your beliefs. Go back to your inner feelings and live with what works for you.
