Breaking the Binds of a “Soul Contract”

“Soul Contracts” are quite a popular concept in our metaphysical community. But as I listen to people speak of their entangled participations in soul contracts, I realize that they are greatly misunderstood. At least, from my point of view they are.

Before we incarnate into this particular lifetime, we do set intentions for our earth journey. From that higher perspective, we wisely create paths of opportunity that will support our soul’s experience.

We then come to this great big earth-arena to facilitate our own soul’s growth and expansion in purposeful ways. Whether we wish to clear the fog from our eyes, elevate our soul’s consciousness, bring healing to ancient wounds, or serve the bright collective, we create intentions for our fateful (by our own design) journey.

From the highest awareness, before we incarnate, we recognize that certain people, places, and experiences will support our journey at different times. So, we wisely pre-arrange various situations, relationships, and conditions to support our soul throughout our lifetime.

This is what some people regard as a “Soul Contract”. 

I place the words “Soul Contract” in quotations because it is all an assumed perception. Our soul can NEVER be under “contract”. It is in opposition to our fundamental truth and nature.

We are sovereign beings of light!

Nothing can ever undermine our free-will.

Our potential will always be boundless and untethered from any contract that was agreed upon in the past. Life is always in motion, and we are the only ones with the power to strategically shape our life path.

It’s important for me to clarify this, because I witness many people handing over their PERSONAL POWER to the belief that their current predicaments are pre-ordained from above.

We are always responsible for every itty bitty choice and experience! We are bound by no outside force of influence. We are the creators of our MANIFEST reality.

But, from the highest perspective of awareness, we can see that countless situations, relationships, and conditions are here to support, inspire, push us forward, and guide us through.

We did most powerfully set many of these OPPORTUNITIES in motion before we incarnated. But they only exist as potential situations, relationships, and conditions! They never become manifest upon our path, until we embrace them, align with them, or choose them.

That means that there will always be NEW experiences to support our evolving soul, and no single “soul contract” is meant to bind us in any way. All people, places, and experiences serve a momentary purpose.

We always have free-will.

And, for even deeper clarification, let me remind you that all soul relationships are always symbiotic. All souls will always benefit from a shared experience, at some level. But once one soul has outgrown the experience, it will become increasingly uncomfortable to participate in that relationship, in the same way.

You are never bound and entwined with another soul simply because they played a vital role in your soul’s growth and expansion at one point in your life. Through that momentary experience, they benefited and grew as well.  

There will always be an appropriate time to unite with each precious soul, and an appropriate time to walk independently. We are never bound to another, no matter how much we may love and care for them.

Make choices that compliment YOUR soul’s growth and expansion!

That’s what you are here for.
