Why do things happen to us? What are the meanings of the events of our lives? They are our soul’s attempts to guide us and alert us to our journey’s unfolding. Though often taken in a negative manner they are meant to teach us and move us along on our journeys. When our soul comes calling it is to wake us up to the real issues that confront us.

And how does the soul call? In a myriad of ways. For no two people will the soul call in the same manner, yet the call of the soul is undeniable. Even if we do not hear it or if we do not take it as such, our soul’s call will jolt us, get our attention, frighten us, or even overjoy us. The methods of the soul are as varied as people in the world and yet the intent of the soul is always the same: to aid us on our evolving journey through our time on earth and into what waits beyond.

To heed the call of the soul is to take responsibility for one’s own journey, to be a mature being of skill and daring, equal to the test being presented, ready for life’s fulfillment. If one does not heed the call of the soul, one is equally gifted and equally guided. Though the journey will be quite different the final destination is the same. The choice is how do you wish to journey? As a soul mate, aware of your partner, or as a solitary being seeking always the soul mate who walks beside you every moment of your life? How you choose to live your life is up to you. Awake or asleep, the dream is the same.
