Synchronicity & purpose

[rosesrblu111]

A few years ago I was in a dilemma and needed help, and then certain events lead me to where I found the help that I needed. When I recall how these events occurred, that helped me, I know that they were by divine help... Without that Divine help my life now would be so different.

After that happened I wrote this poetic affirmation expressing my gratitude..

I embrace the beauty
that surrounds me and
I am grateful to awaken to a beautiful day
filled with lessons to learn.

I am happy to climb another
stepping stone this day to open
a door to my enrichment and enlightenment.

I am thankful because
I know it was Gods
grace that led me
to where I had to go this day
and

I am thankful...

~ I just wanted to share this and wonder if anyone has experienced something similar in their life?

I think it's called synchronicity...

My next comment question is about the turbulent waters we sometimes have to endure in the journey of our lives. Do we choose before being born in our human bodies, everything that we will experience? And are the turbulent waters and heartaches for a reason? For our souls to grow and get closer to God and our divinity?

Thanks for reading and for any comments

Hi Jackie,

I am so glad that you found help when you needed it. The turbulent waters you speak of, I can relate to as I'm sure many other's who read your post will. I do believe that we choose to be born for many reasons. That aside from the joy of experiencing life and growing emotionally and spiritually. For it is a joy, regardless of the suffering we experience. I believe for every sorrow, there is great joy. Just as the pain of loss is accompanied by the happiness we feel in loving other's and being loved in return.

There are very few people on earth who are blessed with a trouble free life. Most of us I think experience life as a process of high's and lows and then periods of stability. Sometimes it seems that we experience long periods of unhappiness or disatisfaction. But often these feelings are the catalyst that force people to change their lives. For to feel so unhappy for a long time is a sure indication that something isn't right. We rarely look deeper into our circumstances or relationships when things are going well, do we?

Someone told me once, that it is only those who are strong in mind and spirit are tested so much. Which is reassuring, even if we don't feel particularly strong. Don't you feel that when we feel other's believe in us, we start to believe in ourselves more. Even if on the surface, things appear contrary? I was reading an article recently about reincarnation. It said, that to settle certain karmic debts, we wait until the person we owe a debt is born again too. Both souls then agree to be reborn again where they can meet in the same lifetime. I feel this might account for some relationships that on the surface appear turbulent and yet the two people stay together. One or the other has a karmic debt to settle. Something has to be resolved between the two before they can continue with the rest of their soul journey. I'd like to think it also works the other way. Where two people have been pulled apart through no fault of their own in a past life. And they get a second chance at a happy long life together.

If I try to see my life as a process of learning, I find even the most difficult circumstances that I find myself in, become more bearable. Sometimes we do things that do not make any sense, and even out of character. I often wonder if that is the time when our 'old selves' pulls us into a situation to allow us the opportunity to right a wrong, or to learn something really important for our soul. Often these situations are very painful. But as with all things, nothing stays the same and things do move forward. I feel we can only break out of old patterns of behaviour, when we understand on a deeper level, where this behaviour comes from. This is where I find, instead of trying to 'work out' other people, I focus more on trying to understand 'me' better. I believe that the answers we seek as to why we are unhappy, do not lie..out there somewhere.. but here, deep inside 'us'.

Love and light
Kaz

Wow, your poetry is beautiful, Jackie And kaz has answered this so thoroughly and so well, what more could I add? Though I do believe that whatever we experience in this life adds to our Understanding of others, which to me - even though it may be a painful lesson or experience - is like putting icing on a cake
