Realizing connections/ pre-birth agreements

[Diana]

Before I read The Ra Material I always sensed that some of us were meant to be together on Earth.  I knew instinctively that some of my friends were "special", that my second wife was the same way and I was always trying to "sense" my parents' and I's arrangement.  I always questioned why my father took the Baptist tales hook, line, and sinker and never regarded my "views" in any way as possible?  It's funny but I try to see connections and how I can learn from different experiences in life.  

In a way I'm rather sad that at mid-life we aren't able to lower the veil of forgetting and really let life unfold in a wonderful knowledgeable way.  Perhaps Carla and Jim's Living the LofO 101 book will help me out.

For me, staying focused on what I want to do and be here is how I get through it all. The connections are there, but "thinking" about them, it seems to me, is less effective than "discovering" them. It's as though they make sense when you, as an evolving being, meet up with the realization because you got to a place where it matters or resonates with who you have become.

The new age idea that we chose our parents I think is too simplistic in its implications. I think we might choose a DNA lineage for various reasons— intellect, psychic proclivities, creative talents, and so on infinitely, with a delicate balance of attributes; but it must also be considered that not every perfect scenario is available at any given time. 

In the scenario of a Wanderer coming here to volunteer, mixing and interacting with family and all the events and people he/she may encounter is a lesson in itself of diversity and chaos and how to detach from, have compassion for, and navigate through the "maelstrom" without incurring enmeshment and "karma." It's one thing to observe from a place of spirit, looking down here on 3D life, and another to be here in the trenches.
