Speaking of karma, soul contracts and life purpose...

29. You're right;

only Cheney can know his soul purpose. And other than paying someone to help us find that rather personal answer out, we're the only ones that need to know our own purpose. Unsolicited statements from others with regards to it are usually not welcome.

My guess is that those people that say that are trying to be more like those entities in Spirit that are not like us at all. They see these loving, higher beings, that seem to be able to forgive pretty much everything, and either because they've determined that they are like them (as in incarnated angels and so forth) or just wanting to be like them, that they can be just as detached from the negativity in their comments. Oh they don't mean for their words to sound hurting and so forth, but they don't really understand that they are just as human as the rest of us, and can't get away from that fact.

We are not (the non-corporeal) angels, higher beings, Higher Selves, Ascended Masters, et cetera. They have unconditional love for us. We don't have the same for each other, or so very few of us do that you can count them on one or two hands And I don't think most people really understand what "unconditional love" means, either. In my head, by my definition, it means that those beings of Spirit do not judge, and there is literally nothing that humans do that is unforgivable. We don't really have that level of spiritual beingness here on Earth. We're human! If we were meant to be that way, well, this would be Heaven on Earth.

There's nothing wrong with striving to those higher levels of spirituality. But I think more people would benefit from what I've been reading of the Buddhist teachings and apply that to their general New Age thought. Then you might not have people telling you it's just your soul contract. They can still think it is, but would learn to keep that to themselves and offer genuine compassion instead. Be a Human, not an angel!
