Soul Groups and Reincarnation

Question: Assuming our spirits return time and again, is there a genetic connection? Who we are, were, will be--is it random? Do I inherit more than the color of my hair, the freckles on my skin, and my sense of humor from my family before me? Do I also inherit a piece of their soul or spirit?

Answer: So dear one, the answer to your question is yes. Yes you inherit. Yes you inherit a genetic element and yes you inherit a soul element. Yet, you are still an individual with free will and individual expression.

Let's phrase it this way or look at it this way. There are many forms of collective consciousness. Here are two examples. There is a collective consciousness centered around, say, the Irish. There is also a collective consciousness centered on the German culture. In a genetic way, we have different collective consciousness' that have natures that are passed on from life to life.

We also have soul groups. We have spirits that have chosen to come together for a particular purpose or intention. Perhaps you may find a soul group that comes together because they wish to express more peace. Perhaps you have a soul group that wishes to come together to be teachers. Perhaps you have a soul group that wishes to come together to be healers. Now what is interesting here is that we are multi-dimensional, which means that we could and we do extend our nature's into more than just one system and more than just one level of collective consciousness. It is very simple but it appears from the mind to be quite complex.

Imagine yourself as a multi-dimensional being embracing many different purposes all coming together in a miraculous way into a body. Then you will find many different expressions co-existing together within you. We have parallel or holographic existence. You can also see that if we are multi-dimensional beings, there must exist multi-dimensional levels of consciousness that co-exist together. You cannot separate the atom from the whole just as you cannot separate an individual from the whole. The individual can still operate with its own intention yet is still connected to all.

Therefore, you inherit many different aspects of being. Genetically, consciously, spiritually with your soul groups, with your family, with your core nature, with your mission, with your planetary system, with your universe, and with the universes that exist within that. It is very simple and yet it is very complex.

Thank you for all the thought you expressed in your question.

Dearest Alana, based on passed lives and karmic relationships. I always thought that my ex husband and I have had many lives together. He has ended the relationship, but I cannot stop this ache within me. I am not sure if it is because I want him back, which consciously I don't. We are explosive together, or if it is at a deeper level that my soul is longing to be a part of him. He has moved on with another relationship, and I would love to find a compatible partner too. So maybe it's because I am just very lonely and sad? Could you maybe assist me in sorting out my feelings on the subject so I will have a better understanding and be able to move on.

Dear Alana I fell in love and married this man with whom I have been living with for 25 years. I have two beautiful children. He is a very good human being and a wonderful father and husband. Only thing he has rigid views and is a disciplinarian. Earlier days I did everything to please him because I believed we were meant for each other right from the first time I met him. The last five years things have changed. I just hate the sight of him and even feel uncomfortable when he is near me, but I am pulling along. Life is like a drama now and I feel I am acting every day. Could this be something of the previous life or just that he has never been my soul mate or spouse in earlier lives and the whole thing was my imagination. I am confused.

Hi Rekha, things change and people change as life moves forward.

People spend too much time confusing their desires to connect with a person as being a karmic mission to reconnect. Perhaps it is true that you were connected in a past life but this may not mean to connect sexually in this life. Forget about this distraction and live life more chaotically, see what comes about spontaneously. You will never find your soul mate until you learn to live independently in it's entirety and until then all of your sex centered relationships are going to inhibit your forward progress in this incarnation, aside from the release of Samskaras during painful interested and emotional assault, ultimately leading to release and further painful Chakra development during other relationships destined not to survive if one grows restless for growth or to survive if one is happy to stand still in this life, or grow but to have a carefully balanced relationship achieved in a lifetime together or quickly if shared between two higher evolved individuals.

Dear Alana, I met a man in a party given by one of our colleagues. When I met him first time my mind issued a warning saying that I should not have any thing to do with him, he is not OK. But he sent the word that he is in love with me. The next January both of our families opposed the marriage then again my mind said give up on him. In July he hurt me very badly, so in August I left him since I felt that my personal values are in conflict with his personal values. But he wrote to me saying that he love me very much he cannot think of living without me. He wrote to me that we could get married even if our families oppose. I also slowly started loving him but later on he wrote to me saying that I should forget him. He also asked me to forgive him for all the interference in my life. Again my mind said forget him. He married somebody else. The week he got married I got an extreme heartache for few days. I was very much hurt by all the incident. I got married five years later. Whenever I get hurt I remember him, my ex. But otherwise I was happy with my lot. I did not correspond with my ex. I also do not know much about his life except where he work and his email address. Two years before I had an accident so I send an email to my ex. But I did not get any reply. Recently October 2009 was the anniversary of my ex´s last letter to me. So I wrote to my ex saying that I forgive him as he asked years ago. Do I have a past life relationship with my ex or my husband, if so what kind of relationship? Do I have karmic connections with my ex or husband? If so what kind of relationship? Why do I feel a painful connection with my ex even if we are separated for a long time? What can I do get rid of the pain in my heart when I think of him?
