Soulmates, Karma And Reincarnation (a repost)

Wrote this back in May 2009 when I encountered Jaime Licauco’s book of the same title.

Whether  it’s a love relationship or just a platonic friendship, some connections are deeper than others.  You feel like they have been there forever.  Sometimes, it feels as if you’ve known one another your entire lives.  Our perception of soul mates are mostly based on movies, televisions and books but the metaphysical definition of a soul mate is someone you knew in your past life and it has been found through research that it is mostly karmic.  They are predestined by your soul but not your personality before you were even born.  We have many soul mates but our personalities and emotional baggage sometimes interfere with our relationships.  Not all soul mates are meant to be long-term or harmonious.

And here’s what Jaime Licauco, a foremost authority on mind development, paranormal activities and mysticism has to say in his book, Soulmates, Karma and Reincarnation:

“Soul mates need not be of the opposite sex.  There is a very strong telepathic rapport between soul mates such that one will know what the other is thinking of or planning to do before he/she does it. One will know if the other needs him or is calling him by merely tuning in on her  with his mental apparatus.  In most cases, the rapport will be so perfect that they themselves would be surprised at the seeming power or knowledge one has about the other.”

What is important to keep in mind in a soul mate encounter  is that external circumstances, such as social status, religious or political differences and social conventions do not and will not matter at all.  Two souls meet when it is time for them to meet.  In a soul mate encounter, there are hardly any “ifs”  or “buts” although the lower intellect or reason may struggle against it.

There is also something to be said about the exchange of energies between two soul mates.  When they meet, the atmosphere becomes magnetically charged.  The two auras merge, forming a whole.

The physical attraction between soul mates is very strong, but it is not a predominant or primary consideration.  It is a means towards the higher goals of spiritual unity, never an end to itself.

A soul mate relationship may even be traumatic at times.  There may have been unresolved conflicts in the past that may be brought into the present lifetime’s encounter.  The partners need to resolve these conflicts to progress together spiritually.  But despite these conflicts, soul mates fully realize the true nature of their involvement with each other and can usually weather the storm.

There is even a topic on how to meet your soul mate, how to recognize your soul mate etc. But one thing important that I  learned in this book is this” a soul mate leads you to God and to your spiritual destiny.

Feast Day of St. Blaise

St. Blaise is the patron saint of throat illnesses, animals, wool combers, and wool trading. Today February 3, is the Feast Day of St. Blaise, the Church recalls a miracle cure associated with him and celebrates the blessing of the throats with candles. He was a physician.

O God, deliver us through the intercession of Thy holy bishop and martyr Blaise, from all evil of soul and body, especially from all ills of the throat; and grant us the grace to make a good confession in the confident hope of obtaining Thy pardon, and ever to praise with worthy lips Thy most holy name.

I attended the 7am mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Light  on the feast day of St. Blaise today. It was a solemn celebration  presided by Fr. Aly, a family friend since our house was blessed twenty nine years ago. He was initially assigned there as  Asst. Vicar, after many other assignments,  he was assigned back and he became the Rector and Parish Priest of the Shrine. There was a blessing of the throat after the mass. I so love these Catholic rituals and traditions which strengthen my faith and belief.

Around 8am, I went to our Municipal office to get some free medicines they give to senior citizens. They just need a new prescription by the doctor and is valid for three months. They gave me four kinds, one for my sugar, two for BP and one for heart health. This is a lovely gesture initiated by our former town mayor Atty. Kit Nieto. He is running again unopposed for the May election this year. We are lucky to have him around.
