Are There Past Lives, Karma, And Did My Ex-Boss And I Pre-Plan Our Relationship?
This post answers questions for The Council from an anonymous reader about past lives, karma, and her relationship with her ex-boss.
Anonymous: I would like to ask The Council whether there are past lives, and karma, and whether the current relationship with my former boss is something we had to experience in order to learn and grow from?
Council: Yes, there are past lives. On the other hand, karma is not the way people think of it in your life and in your world. Karma is only something you think you have to repair, or something that you think you have to change and make amends for. And the only karma that you will experience is what you think you have to experience. What you go through in your life, how you treat people, how you show empathy and love for others, that’s why we’re here.
So what is the most important thing, and we’ll underline this and say it many, many times. You’re here to show love, in any situation, in any way you can, like kindness, empathy, and love. Focus on your current life, not the past. You are not here to repay anything. You are here to bring love from spirit into this reality.
Anonymous: Here’s some context. When I was 23 I found a job which I really liked and wanted immensely. It was the only one I applied for right after school. At the interview I met my boss, let’s call him M. He did make an impact on me in a neutral way, but I have very strong memories from that meeting and I was accepted into his team. The whole process was super smooth and lucky for me. We worked together for three years and had a neutral relationship most of the time, but I felt very loyal to him and didn’t want to disappoint him.
After three years I decided to move teams for career growth. So for one year I was in a different company, but since I was unhappy, I searched for different jobs. Suddenly I was approached by a recruiter and recruited into a new company in a dream job made for me. And then I also discovered that my former boss, M, who I wasn’t in touch with at all, will be joining that company as my new manager on the same date. I felt it was a really big coincidence and luck on my side. I felt this is how things are meant to be.
We worked together again for one year, which was really intense. There were lots of ups and downs, both positive and negative, with successes and failures, but I always believed in him.
Council: Doesn’t that show you on some level that you are supportive of each other from other lifetimes, and that there is a comfort or a familiarity there, even if it goes no farther? It is just the getting together, popping in and out of each other’s lives that brings you to a point where you would discover, “Oh, there’s something here. What could it be?”
And then some people would go into past lives and other people would start thinking, “Maybe there’s something here. Are we supposed to be more?” It just gets you to feel familiar, that we all know each other, that we’ve been with each other at some point in different lifetimes. It’s just to get you to feel there’s something more, and there is. There’s so much more than just this reality you’re living in now.
Anonymous: We had a lot of disagreements, but in the end we discovered that we have a lot in common, and we strive for the same vision and values. However, before we could start working together, my boss, M, was fired. I was heartbroken for a long time, but then suddenly this experience made me evaluate my whole life, my values, and my approach to life, which is very positive, and since then I think about him a lot.
Council: We see that there will be another coming together, so you’ll have that opportunity.
Anonymous: I wonder if this experience is something that was meant to be, because for both of us it was a very intense learning relationship, and I wonder if there is more to it for us in the future?
Council: Yes. And if you wonder if it was meant to be, we would say of course it was meant to be because it’s happening for the both of you. You have both decided to make this happen, so let’s see where the two of you take it next.
As always we wish you love and fun in your creations, and learning from them, and moving on, and helping the other spirits in your life on their path. And always remember, bring in the love, bring in the love. You can always find it in anyone if you truly look for it.

Why Have My Boss and I Come Together in This Lifetime?
This post answers questions for The Council by a reader who goes by the name, Anon, who says she’s faithfully married with children and recently began a new job. Her boss took her breath away when she met him. There was instant recognition and desire, and both are committed to their spouses. Anon asks why they’ve come together in this lifetime when they are both unable or unwilling to be together romantically?
What The Council sees here is a spiritual agreement between these two souls who have a strong bond from working together in many lifetimes as husband and wife and as siblings. The agreement was to go separate ways in this life so they could have experiences they wished to live through and learn from, and at a certain point perhaps these two souls could come together again if they both created the idea of drawing each other into their lives.
The desire to be together was there for both of you, but life got in the way and you both met other people. You went down a different path than the one you originally envisioned. And yet because the energy between you and your boss is so strong, you still managed to come into each other’s lives even though you have both have different partners. There’s a comfort that’s felt from the two of you being together.
In this life can the two of you be supportive friends to each other? Can you feel the happiness of being able to come together in this lifetime in different roles and help each other grow and learn? Can you experience a different kind of relationship than you’ve had in other lifetimes? You both have the ability to create this relationship the way you want it.
In spirit the two of you originally planned for the possibility of becoming partners again after going in your different directions, but each of you went down a different path where you wouldn’t be marriage partners, but you can have a strong friendship.
