What Was My Pre-Birth Plan For My 8-Year Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named, Lost.
Lost: Your guidance is always clarifying for me so I was hoping you’d help me once more.
I’ve been in a relationship with a woman I love for eight years. I think she’s a pure soul and that we’ve been together for a reason.
Council: You are all pure souls, and yes, there is a reason that we come together.
Lost: I’m not sure what that reason is, but I can feel it.
Recently I’ve just felt like I’m unsettled in this relationship, like it’s holding me back. I’d like clarification on how to figure out what path I wanted to take before coming into this life.
Council: First of all, when you look at this relationship, do you still feel that great love? Is there something that’s going on that’s upsetting you? Are you creating that unsettled feeling because you want out of the relationship? Or because there’s something coming up that you must face, and you’re not ready at this time to face it, so you’re creating a way out?
Another spirit will never, never hold you back. It will just bring up what’s intended for you to look at. And many times if you’re courageous enough to look at it, you will heal it. We’d say going forward, look at your life. What do you want to do? What do you love? Share it with your partner. Can your partner be part of it? Or is it that you feel somewhere that it’s time to leave the relationship? And only you, by paying attention to your feelings, will find the answer to that.
Lost: How do I differentiate between simple things that I want and the bigger picture of life?
Council: The bigger picture of your life encloses in it all the things that you want. So there’s no bigger picture and the little things. The little things that you enjoy, the little things you want, are part of the bigger picture. Can you see it? Can you see what it is that you want? Are you allowing yourself to do that? Because when you feel empty, when you’re not sure where you are going and in what direction, it’s because you’re not paying attention to the little dreams, the little, little things. And those little things are very important.
Lost: I’m not sure if wanting to leave this relationship is because I know my plan and what I wanted for this life, and this relationship will get in the way of that, or if it’s just a feeling that will pass.
Council: So if you feel the relationship will get in the way of what you planned, look at it. Why would it get in the way? Speak to your partner about what you want going forward and you’re dreams. What direction do you want to go in, and see the reaction. Is your partner excited for you? Does your partner want to be part of your future? And you’ll see by that reaction if this person can get in the way. No spirit will hold you back. If you want out of the relationship, the choice is always yours.
But we see it’s a very good relationship and before you leave it, take a look at why and discuss your feelings, and discuss what you see in your future, and where you want it to go. That’s the most helpful thing you can do.
Bob: Can you clarify what the pre-birth plan for this relationship might have been, if any?
Council: Well they’ve been together before, and in this particular lifetime it was planned to explore together challenges and fun, and learn from it. So when you get an uncomfortable feeling, it’s your higher self telling you that you are not doing what you planned. You’re not working together with what you both wanted.
And so by your feelings you’ll know if it is what you planned. And so if you discuss what it is that you want, and just discussing it gives you relief, then that’s part of the challenge you wanted to face coming into this relationship. You wanted to be able to be honest, to share your life with this particular partner, and let’s see how you can get to where you both want.
Bob: So it’s possible that the relationship is holding him back, but it’s also possible that it’s holding his partner back and that they can work out their differences and move on in their relationship?
Council: That’s what they were planning in pre-birth, but it’s always possible to change what you want. And remember that the choice is always yours. But learning to communicate, learning to put out your feelings and be open to the other person’s feelings, and to come up with a plan, that’s what was wanted to be learned and to be healed in this particular lifetime.
And it will not just be about this, it will be about other things in the future, but it’s to communicate with your partner so that you both have feelings and you both can talk about how to heal this, or how to get past it and how to handle it. It was the wanting of a partner where you can both face these challenges and get through it, because of course you can, if that’s what you want.
Lost: Thank you for your time and your guidance
Council: We send you love. We send you happiness. We send you energy to raise your vibrations, and the ability to look inside yourself and around you, and appreciate yourself, and appreciate everything you have around you, and to go forward and look for the fun and look for the happiness.
