Someone once told me that Autistic children actually choose their incarnation. The indigo children, the rainbow keepers. It feels true to me in my heart as in fact I believe we all choose our incarnations.
A few years ago I came across a book called " The Little Soul and the Sun". It is a children's book, but as is often true there was far deeper meaning buried in the text. The long and the short of it is, that we are all little souls, perfect in the eyes of the creator. One little soul starts to ask questions about itself. It decides that it would like to be light. The creator says " but you are light, we all are". That puzzles the little soul. How to experience itself as light if we all are? Well says the creator, perhaps I could create darkness, and within that context you would then experience yourself as light.
As the story progresses the little soul begins to understand that before we come to earth we all ask the creator to learn some specific lessons during our incarnation here. In order for that to happen, other little souls have to agree to interact with us down here, sometimes in a positive way and sometimes in a negative way.
The little soul asks to learn forgiveness, but realizes that to do so, someone must do something that needs to be forgiven. Another little soul steps forward and says " I love you. I would do this for you. Only in the moment I smite you, I will have to make myself so heavy and so dark that for a moment I will forget who I am. You must remember I am also a little soul, for if you forget, we will both become terribly lost possibly forever."
The little soul is overcome. " You would do this for me? "
" Of course, you have done it for me many times, for such is the dance of life."
We live our lives here in the context of many relationships, many joys and hurts. Think of how differently we could live if we only remembered that the people we are in conflict with, although they remember it not at the time, or perhaps at all in this life, have generously agreed to enter into contracts with us so that we may learn what we have asked to learn. Doesn't that change how you look at the person you are having difficulty with? May it fill you with gratitude instead of anger for the gift and the learning.
In love and light,
Kathryn
