Connecting On A Soul Level
By Rev. Juliet Nightingale

The Grand Fixed Cross—having taken place on 11 August, 1999—was a catalyst for great changes in our world and one area that will continue to be strongly influenced from now on is relationships and the institution of marriage. This is a topic of greatest concern for most of my clients.
Relationships are taking on a whole new dynamic—a whole new meaning where, as spiritual beings, we are striving for deeper, more meaningful relationships based on spiritual substance rather than on material status, etc. Having a relationship as a commodity is no longer valid in seeking the right person; nor can that provide the joy and fulfilment one needs. People are requiring a relationship with someone with whom they can truly resonate and feel a deep and profound sense of trust and knowing. It is now time where our significant others are people with whom we are being led to and connecting with on a soul level.
So what does this mean? It means that we must let go of all conventional attitudes and approaches to relationships and not feel that we’ve got to live up to parental, religious or societal standards. We must, instead, be completely true to our higher selves and align with our souls and allow ourselves to be drawn to that special person with whom we’ve journeyed lifetime after lifetime. It is time to honour our divine heritage and return to a soul centred relationship based on Truth and Love.
That person may be in a different geographical location, or from another country. He or she may be of a different race or religious background, or there may be an age difference. We can no longer set limitations on the appearance or status of our soul mate. All that is superficial at best! A soul-mate relationship is about connecting with someone on a deeper level and fulfilling a karmic destiny with that individual—including homosexual relationships. It is also important that you not allow distance, or a difference in status, etc., to be any form of discouragement. That person will always be with you no matter what, because you are already connected on a soul level.
As a result of this profound truth coming into play in our lives in this auspicious scheme of things, many interesting things are happening now. False marriages/relationships, (i.e. marriages and relationships based on status, money, religion, convenience, or whatever…) are now breaking down and people are being divinely led to partners with whom there is a deep and prevailing soul bond.
Some people will suddenly hear from and be reunited with a past partner or friend; others will suddenly meet a new partner…and so on. For those of you for whom this has already taken place, you may experience the presence of your soul partner with you constantly and you may even carry on telepathic conversations with each other. It’s as if that person is inside of you and you cannot get that person out of your mind! And, indeed they are, because—on a soul level—you are always connected! Please be assured that what you are experiencing is real. It is just as valid as using the telephone or mail to communicate with your partner and this should not be dismissed as mere ‘fancy’! It is very natural and normal to communicate in this way—again, because you are connected on a soul level and there is truly a bond between you.
It is interesting to me when some clients are nearly panic-stricken, because they haven’t got a partner yet. They fear that something is ‘wrong’ with them or that they’ll end up living out their lives alone without a committed and loving partner! This is simply not the case. What is happening, here, is that your higher Self has sought to merge with someone on a soul level—someone who’s been with you before…and now you are being divinely led to that special person. First, however, you must align with your soul and get to know yourself on a deeper level and have faith! It is important to clear away the past…and prepare for rebirth, so you can fulfil your personal destiny and divine plan. It shall come to pass soon—perhaps even this year—so not to worry.
Another delicate issue is that some people are concerned about the fact that they’ve fallen in love with one who is married; and perhaps you are married and in love with a married person. You feel so strongly about that person that it won’t let you go, so what do you do? First, honour the fact that there is a bond between you and don’t allow yourself to go into denial about it. Second, take a close look at your respective marriages. Perhaps, you have truly ‘out-grown’ your present spouse and have come to a ‘fork in the road’. Perhaps you’ve fulfilled your karmic obligations together and now it’s time to move on. There is no sin in this. You are simply ‘graduating’—as it were—and growth and change are a constant and vital part of life. No one’s got any right to judge or determine what is right for you! Only your own inner wisdom can determine that, so take heart and be true to your own inner convictions.
Now one is being called to enter a relationship that’s based on mutual love and sharing with each other—relationships that are truly spiritual. Love gives and in giving, you receive much abundance in return. Please don’t be afraid to let go of what is familiar or what you may regard as a source of ‘security’ or allow yourself to feel guilty if a marriage is no longer working. That is simply non-truth that is based on fear, not love! You deserve to be whole and happy and to fulfil a divine calling.
Also, as I’ve mentioned in other articles on relationships, another misconception about marriage is that our partner is our property, as if we own our partner. This is a serious mistake and will surely end in disaster! How absurd that we should regard one another as a commodity! That’s ludicrous! The fact is that we do not own our partner or anything for that matter. Ownership is an illusion of the physical plane. It is important to remember that everything we have in life is a gift and is to be treated with reverence and respect!
Furthermore, please don’t force yourself to stay in an unhappy relationship, because you think your partner owes you something—especially if you don’t even love or care about that person! That person does not owe you anything, nor do you owe him or her. It is vitally important that now, of all times, you be true to what is in your heart—regardless of past conditioning and societal demands. This is a time of aligning with your soul and being true to yourself—your true Self. Please read the classic book, The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran—a must read that will shed a bright and beautiful light on the topic we’ve been discussing herein. It will warm your heart and encourage you to have the strength to honour the dictates of your heart, which is your direct link to the divine.
I’d like to add that there is great magic in the air. It is a time when real relationships are evolving and we are being made to let go of old stereotypical attitudes and systems that simply do not work anymore. As spiritual beings, we need to honour our divine heritage…and not live as if we are merely flesh and bone who are only here to play the survival game. We came here to know love—to prosper and be happy; and that can only happen through loving and revering all life unconditionally. Allow your heart to guide you; turn to the abundant Universe in faith for all your needs, and focus on love that is pure and true.
Please don’t stay in a marriage or relationship for the sake of money, status, etc. Material wealth doesn’t beget happiness. Happiness comes from within—not from status or acquiring material gain. If you truly love, rest assured that you will have great abundance, well-being and peace of mind. This is a time of great spiritual awakening and fulfilling a divine destiny that holds great promise for us as spiritual beings. The phoenix of relationships is rising up out of its ashes—being born anew in divine love and spirit! You are not alone. You are loved…and you will know it soon…and for always.
