​All that we have ever truly loved, and bonded with at the soul level, is a part of us forever. All relationships have lower and higher aspects - subject to the double's destructive influences - as all human beings are inevitably imperfect. Regardless, as we struggle with the journey of the human soul over many lifetimes, our relationships appear again and again transformed by the passage of time, experience, and decisions.

 

The mystery of love, which expresses itself in having profoundly loved someone out of the deepest fibers of the human heart, forever remains within us. It never dies. It inevitably finds unique expressions over time, based on the goals, aspirations, and decisions of each soul.  The impulse of true love with our closest spiritual companions, is frequently concealed by the veil of amnesia as one passes through the byways of physical life. It is always carried within us out of the soul and transmitted through the forces of the spirit.  It will rise again as destiny fulfills itself as planned and overseen by our guardian angels and divine guides.

​

When a soul crosses the boundary of physical death, all of its experiences of his or her life are visually experienced in every nuance and detail over the course of several days. This includes how one impacted the lives of others. One is forced to look at the outcome of every word, thought, glance, feeling, and outcome from the other person's perspective. Alongside this difficult experience, however, is the universal love the Christ and divine guides - our universal family - which permeates the entire cosmos.

​

In addition to this, however, is many subsequent experiences. This individual love is a living force that can be sent to other beings outwardly. It can manifest itself like a fiery phoenix. It shines brighter than ever before. It is revived after one recovers living and active memories of one's prior lifetimes through the eternal record of all universal activity; the "Akashic Records." There, and if one is granted permission to do so, the record of one's experiences can be reviewed in every detail as a picture-based, feeling-based immersive review.

 

One may find, for example, that one has been intimately close to someone they never knew in their most recent incarnation or lifetime. One may find that an unrecovered or lost love - or family member - was never with them in their most recent lifetime. Naturally, these revelations are accompanied by profound desire and wish to be reunited. This may occur in preparation for a future lifetime that is being planned.

 

This was the case with John and Amanda. They had lived many lifetimes together as romantic partners, relatives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, etc. John was not aware of these facts until he passed through the first stages of own memory recovery through the preliminary stages of his own spiritual initiation. Love is a living force that radiates from the heart and the soul and can build a bridge between the darkness and the light. It can traverse any void. There is no desert, mountain, void, or boundary that it cannot cross. Through that eternal light, and the powerful and enduring love between two people who had genuinely loved one another and helped each other many lifetimes in the past, Amanda suddenly appeared...

 

 

The name "Amanda" is Latin feminine meaning “she who is fit to be loved”, "deserving to be loved," "worthy of love," and "loved very much by everyone." I would also add to this list "she who radiates love." In the coming months, Amanda - in spiritual terms as she had passed through the gate of death a few years before - brought endless waves of love, joy, friendship, smiles, and information to John. These living forces far more real than any emotion he had experienced during his life which was solitary and isolated in nature. In other words, John had never felt the real force of "love" from another human being because of the boundaries of the physical self. One can only demonstrate love through deeds, ideas, and feelings. These living "waves" of heart and soul-based affection are never "felt" as a living, radiating, active force emanating from another person that actually moves and is experienced through the soul while one is alive in the physical world.

 

He was aware of her presence at all times - both during his waking and dream life - and she was tuned into his every thought and feeling, as he was to hers. He tested her on several occasions to validate things as she brought messages to him during his waking life. He asked her to validate things while he dreamed, to which she consistently and readily responded. She validated each request patiently realizing how important that it was.

 

It became painfully obvious - even rhetorical - that she was truly a part of his soul-life and not a part of some fantasy or delusion. John had developed a genuine psychic ability over the course of many years and now it was clear. He accepted her with open arms, and an open heart, and began a loving spiritual friendship. John had heard of soul mates, but did not believe in the concept necessarily in the way other people do in childish and romantic terms, yet he allowed himself to conceive of the notion that Amanda may be his soulmate and was someone with whom he had a very personal, and special, connection.

 

Visions and revelations of past lives they lived together frequently appeared in the landscape of John's consciousness while he dreamed and during the day through spontaneous clairvoyant visions. These experiences were supplemented by John's spiritual teachers and his deceased father who had died years before and was heavily involved as an advocate, teacher, and guide. Thu, Amanda and his father frequently appeared together during John's dream life and communicated with each other and John. HE learned that his father also had a deeper karmic connection with Amanda from prior lifetimes but had never met her, or known about her, during his life before he died. John found this astonishing and wonderful.

 

Through the vision cultivated by the opening of the third eye, Amanda brought mysterious visions of the past and prior lifetimes that the two had passed through. The two had made countless lovers pacts, been married, relatives , and fellow travelers since time began. She began helping him in his karmic research, meditations, and personal interests. He returned the favor by prayer, meditations, and projecting a love impulse into the spiritual world. There was never, it should be noted, an order to "do this or that" by either party.

 

These communications were visions and impulses that arose within him as feelings, words, thoughts, and facts regarding past-lives and the nature of their close - perhaps at times too close - karmic relationship. The central theme being that..."this is WHO I am, this is what we once WERE, this is how I FEEL, this is where you NEED to go...and this is HOW and WHERE we are going to be together in the future lifetimes."

 

They had been seeking one another in life, albeit in a subconscious way, but never found one another having been separated by karma. John came to learn that a kind of codependency exited between them having been forged by the trials and journeys of prior lifetimes - that led to kind to kind of inner loneliness and yearning that sprung to life only in full awareness in the spiritual worlds and the depths of the heart. For this reason, they had been temporarily separated so that they could develop their freedom and self-reliance to a higher degree. Nonetheless, it had been a painful separation that now appeared as a living memory transformed by the passage of rebirth - characterized by a form of spiritual amnesia - and the restoration of John's spiritual memory.

 

Amanda was filled with a seemingly boundless energy of love for John; it contained neither judgement nor egotism. She simply radiated love and light and wanted to be with him and he with her. She often appeared to John during his dreams radiating white light from her spirit that sent warm waves of love into him; things he carried with him when we awoke and would come to sustain him dark days to come.

 

John's heart chakra was soon opened in ways that he did not know were possible. He went so far as to contemplate if something was wrong and prayed on the matter for guidance to ensure that he had not been misled somehow by a mischievous personality. In light of Anthroposophy, there are many souls and beings moving about the astral plane. When one develops genuine clairvoyance, one must be sure to investigate these things carefully. There are divine, pure, mature, genuine, loving souls and then there are immature, malicious, and promiscuous beings of various degrees of attainment who are up to no good, as it were. Thus, one should be careful and take the time to validate experiences and perceptions and not simply accept them without reflection.

 

Sometimes, these malicious entities, or beings, pretend to be something other than what they truly are and wear "masks". Sometimes, altruistic spiritual companions may also appear in a kind of "costume" if they were afraid, or unable, to pierce the interference that separates the living from the "dead". Those who have passed through the gate of death are highly active and live in a multi-dimensional environment that is not confined by the same rules and limitations of the physical world. What was "inner" becomes "outer". Thoughts, ideas, and feelings are visible outwardly in the spiritual world.

 

Some souls who have passed over are compelled to engage anonymously and people often awake from dreams having no consciousness knowledge that a dearest loved one, or companion, came to them and was trying to advise or help them. As John learned, sometimes antagonists that John had known during his life, and who had died, appeared playing pranks and causing problems. These disruptive and mischievous behaviors, however did not last long as divine guides intervened.

 

During our time in the spiritual world, we live in the experiences and feelings of other people as if they were our own. Amanda and John lived within each other's experiences and coalesced in love and powerful feelings of companionship. These were profound experiences. Their reunion was a bit unusual, in karmic terms, because the two were connected only through past lives; not the most current incarnation. They had never met each other during John's lifetime.

 

In light of Anthroposophy and the stages of inner transformation described by Dr. Rudolf Steiner that a soul passes through after death, Amanda was passing through the initial stages of "Kamaloca." Christians refer to this stage as "Purgatory" which, according to Dr. Rudolf Steiner, lasts roughly 1/3 of the number of years that a person lived during their life. It is a time of purging, past-life reviews, transformation, and education as a soul prepares to re-enter the cosmos and prepare for a new birth. Souls, especially those that died traumatically or prematurely, during this phase often times look to reconnect with loved ones they left. Many human beings, due to a kind of neural-subconscious interference, adequate training, or karma (or all three), cannot perceives these interactions.

 

During these intervening years, when the soul drops its heaviness and the dregs of its prior lifetime, which are literally given back to the universe as a kind of substance, a soul can approach people who are still alive on the physical plane that it has been closest to in prior lifetimes through karma...if it is permitted by angelic guardians. People on the physical plane can be perceived by the "living" if those who remained behind have developed a sufficient degree of clairvoyance and "living" thoughts and feelings of love and support which can be reinforced through mantras and meditations that contain genuine spiritual forces. Notions that souls cannot approach their loved ones during this phase and that they must "left alone" are incorrect. All souls, including loved ones and enemies, need our prayers, love, and thoughts.

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

The decision to pursue the true spiritual path is an ennobled one; one that carries within it many sacrifices, commitments...and dangers. But no one, regardless of how educated they are, can anticipate what lay ahead once the ask is made and accepted by Divine Guides who agree to take a candidate into formal training for spiritual initiation; a path that leads them through the depths of the mystery of the human soul, the heart, the past, the present, the future, the world, and the cosmos.

 

Dr. Rudolf Steiner provided a detailed and informed path of study, meditations, and constructive habit forming routines that can guide an aspirant or "probate", as it were, through to the initial stages of initiation. However, no one understands the process, even though they may be well-studied on the subject, until they walk the path and live it. Life is the same way. Knowing one's karma is one thing and is known by souls prior to being born; walking the path must also also be done. We come to know our karma in detail and then must live through the outcomes, for better or worse, after rebirth both in the spiritual and physical worlds.

​

Promises are made, oaths are taken, and kept, and a long journey begins. Through spiritual initiation, and the promise to pursue it, an enhancement is put in place to an existing karmic pattern in the destiny of the seeker. A person's karmic family appears, with whom they are perhaps most closely connected especially if they are deceased and are in a position to come to the person's aide. Teachers, by way of the the spiritual worlds, engage the soul and oversee it actively during this process which unfolds gradually by degrees over the course of repeated lifetimes. This process is not the same as holistic development; preparation is involved as someone moves down the path in an expedited way. Missions are given and, if accomplished, a souls continues to work its way up the ladder of growth as it redeems its karma.

​

The first step on this path is a test that permeates the soul with a highly charged spiritual impulse that is "injected" directly into the soul body of the human being while on the astral plane; either while dreaming or during an expanded state of consciousness achieved during meditation. During this process, the lower elements of the human being are stimulated and amplified. A strengths and weaknesses analysis is conducted by divine guides. The seeker's "double" becomes visible and is stripped off of the candidate manually. It becomes observable, as an exact double, through clairvoyance and conscious dreaming.

 

It is an intimate experience and one often feels as though everything - each thought, feeling, and deed - is examined under a microscope to study character flaws which, if not remedied, could "butterfly" (refer to the "Butterfly Effect Theory"which deals with the sensitivity of effects and downstream implications) into future lifetimes with dreadful consequences. This becomes a very personal affair if one is connected to other people in the spiritual worlds who are planning for future lifetimes that are interwoven with the candidate. Those who have shared karma have a considerable interest in purging these lower aspects.

 

If the initial procedure of stripping off the double went well, a higher stage is reached as the soul is sufficiently mature having purged its lower elements from prior lifetimes. If it does not go well, the lower elements can become highly charged and lead to a war within one's self between the "double" and the seeker. It appears during one's dream life as though one is at war with one's self. It can experience moments of peace but also total confusion. In the ancient world, during the 3 1/2 day spiritual initiation "temple sleep" period, the soul not sufficiently prepared for this process could die.

"The premature appearance of the astral world and the sudden apparition of the Double or Guardian of the Threshold may lead a man who is not fully prepared or who has not taken all the precautions necessary for the disciple, to madness and insanity." -Rudolf Steiner, An Esoteric Cosmology, GA 94, Lecture VIII. The Christian Mystery https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA094/English/SGP1978/19060601p01.html

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

Thus some, who could not handle the confusing Astral experiences that haunted them during their waking life upon their return to their physical body - in the ancient mysteries - sometimes descended into madness or committed suicide.

 

This was is what happened, at least in part, to Caligula in Ancient Rome and Cambyses who went through the Egyptian Mystery Temples prematurely. Apparitions and phantoms appeared before the individual connected with one's Samskara and sins through the "double" - in an astral state of clairvoyance for which the candidate for initiation was not prepared - which was brought to conscious awareness of the seeker before its time. The sins, and lower elements, reappeared out of the mists of the Astral plane, amplified and animated, and tortured the candidate; sometimes as ghastly phantoms of the lower self that were often mistaken for opposing demons.

 

These living nightmares sometimes returned to a candidate for initiation each night during their dreams, and there was no escape. If they achieved an expanded state of consciousness prematurely, they often felt as if they were constantly being watched and became increasingly paranoid. They became riddled with anxiety and neuroses, which was exacerbated by sleep deprivation. Sometimes, souls in the ancient world passing prematurely - or sometimes due to extenuating circumstances based on need - through the stages of initiation were overcome by feelings of horror, regret, fear, the shame of unredeemed sins, helplessness, uncertainty, and rage.

 

In modern times, during this process, and strangely enough, the candidate during the day may not feel the effect of the frustrations of the Astral Body in a conventional way although the individual's emotional life incurs a serious wound as the Ego, which lays helplessly many times in the background during dreams while the Astral Body behaves in mysterious and confusing ways - sometimes very badly - while engaging with friends, loved ones, and others. These interactions are only present during the dream life which is perceived by the Ego and during expanded states of consciousness. Guardian angels are no doubt responsible for helping in this unenviable task.

 

Thus John was taken through the process which was observable during his dreams. The splitting of the self, as it were, that revealed John's "Doppelgänger ", or "Double", was a disheartening experience. The result was a necessary setback; a quandary he had to bear. And, here he thought he was an amiable-enough fellow!

 

Dr. Steiner referred to this moment when the seeker - every seeker - who passes and emerges through this process becomes a "Kha man"; a term used in the ancient Egyptian Mysteries.

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

"And what's the other unavoidable experience one has by faithfully doing the exercises (correct spiritual exercises and meditations)? It's a splitting of the personality.

 

A man will begin to feel as if something was accompanying him, something that thinks and hears with him and even speaks with him if he's inwardly weak. It's a second ego that emerges, a doppelganger that one has placed outside one. The more seriously someone treads the esoteric path, the more of his old man he places outside him, that is, he sheds one skin after another like a snake. These skins become like a second body, a doppelganger (author's note: "shadow" or "double" in Anthroposophical vernacular) who never leaves one again for the rest of one's life.

 

In the old Egyptian mysteries someone who had placed his double outside him was called a kha man. The double is chained to the kha man ito constantly remind him what he was or still is through his own thoughts. . That's not always a pleasant feeling. But the awareness that he always has his double with him will remind him of his defects and that he should improve himself." -Rudolf Steiner, Esoteric Lessons II, GA 266, Lesson 39, Hannover, 12-31-'11, https://rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA266/English/UNK1999/19111231e01.html *The parenthesis are the author's.

 

The Doppelganger was now present in John's thoughts and it would say the most awful things about other people, situations, and ideas that flowed through John's thoughts randomly. This occurred frequently when John was approached by others in clairvoyant terms from the spiritual worlds but also in his dreams. It was a cross that he had to bear based on his own sins from past and current lifetimes, and he had no choice but to accept it and make changes within himself as time went on. When the Doppelganger interfered, he would simply say "no" within his own thoughts or "be still."

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

Several months of peculiar dreams followed. After this experience, John had an even stranger experience. He encountered an exact double of himself during a dream. Upon going to sleep one night, John awoke inside the dream and saw his double sitting on a bed beside him (in his dream glaring back at him). The air was tense and fear immediately grabbed hold of John's astral form.

 

His ego lay helplessly in the background as an altercation ensued between the Lesser Guardian of the Threshold (John's higher self) and John's soul body (or astral body). John was horrified to hear a thousand voices of rage, anger, fear, and emotion echo within the landscape of a room in the spiritual worlds; a short expanse of space between his higher and lower selves. It reminded him of a bad horror movie; an experience that resonate within him for years to come.

 

This "double" or "Doppelganger" plays a vital role in the evolution of the human being and every person has one. It lay within the subconscious of a person until it is placed, through a spiritual process, outside of the seeker in spiritual terms. It plays the role of a kind of guide, in a way, that illuminates what still lay unpurified in the heart and soul of a seeker and must be confronted in a conscious way. It enables the seeker to avoid continuing bad habits, thought processes, and feelings that inhibit one from gaining a mature entry into the spiritual world on the path of spiritual initiation.

 

 

 

​

 

 

 

 

"We can however see from this how necessary it is that man should not demand entry into the spiritual world until he has learned and understood certain essential truths of that world by the simple exercise of his everyday intelligence, developed in the physical world. If spiritual development follows the right and normal path, then before he aspires to enter the supersensible world the pupil will already have mastered with his ordinary intelligence the whole of the earlier contents of this book.

 

In a training where care is not taken to develop in the pupil certainty and stability in his powers of judgment and discrimination as well as in his emotions and his moral character, it may happen that the higher world presents itself to him before he has the inner faculties with which to fact it. The encounter with his Double, will in that event cause him great distress and lead him astray. If on the other hand — as would also be possible — he were completely to elude the meeting with the Double, he would still be just as incapable of coming to any true knowledge of the higher world. For he would then be unable to distinguish between what the things around him really are and what he himself is seeing into them. To be able to do this, he must first have seen the distinct picture of his own being; then he can separate and distinguish from his environment whatever has flowed over into it from his own inner life.

 

As far as his life in the physical world is concerned, the moment man begins to draw near to the world of soul and spirit, the Double immediately makes himself invisible and therewith also conceals from him the whole soul-and-spirit world. The Double stands in front of it like a Guardian, forbidding entrance to those who are not yet competent to enter. He may therefore rightly be called “The Guardian of the Threshold of the World of Soul and Spirit.” -Rudolf Steiner, GA 13. Occult Science - An Outline — Chapter V: Knowledge of the Higher Worlds - Concerning Initiation (Part 8), https://rsarchive.org/Books/GA013/English/RSP1969/GA013_c05-08.html

The soul consists of an array of virtues and sinful traits. Each soul is utterly unique; yet, we are all consists of the same essential "stuff". After this spiritual charge was introduced into John's Astral Body during his dream life, all of the rage, anger, Samskara, and negative aspects of his prior lifetimes, which resided in his Soul Body, manifested within Astral Self. Through a spiritual process that each soul must pass through the Ego becomes aware of the lowest elements of his being, he or she - during sleep in the astral world while dreaming - will be forced to observe one's soul body behaving as ridiculous, angry, confused, sad, and argumentative. Sometimes, during dreams, the soul body speaks in gibberish. Sometimes, it cannot speak at all.

 

The soul, when "split", seems to be a reflection of two aspects; higher and lower influences. It is gradually brought under control by the efforts of productive meditations, self-purification, prayer, thought control, feeling control, and will control; a task that requires discipline and endurance. On the Astral Plane, changes are introduced by those souls who have passed through the gate of death - and guardian angels including the Christ - helping through mysterious interactions that introduce light, love, forces, and streams of energy into the Astral Body trying to facilitate a change.

 

In this case, John's soul team, and spiritual karmic family, reunited to help him on this task and bring his Astral Body back into control and reach the next stage; whatever that was to be. The majority of these interactions occurred during his sleep life when John's Astral Body and Ego-I moved throughout the Astral Plane while dreaming.

Due to the amplification, or Pranic charge, that was applied to John's Astral Body, it became incredibly sensitive. The slightest misthought, or slip of the tongue or mind during his waking life that worked against genuine spiritual ideals and morals, would come to life outwardly in his Astral Body while he dreamed. Others standing with him during his dream life, who were trying to help and influence him for the better, had to endure the erratic behavior of his Astral Body and press harder and harder; they demonstrated extreme patience, courage, love, and resilience.

 

Having given up the destructive habits that fed the Astral Body through ideas, feelings, diet, behaviors, and impulses that were once a part of his lower construct, manifesting as Samskara in his being, John was now effectively starving the Astral Body which was forced, by necessity, to accept a new way of life. While dreaming, John's "Ego-I" was forced to observe his Astral Body fly into fits of rage and anger making demands on others, speaking out of turn, and demonstrating lowly behaviors befitting an angry and spoiled child.

 

During his dreams, John's astral body, or soul, frequently made disruptive comments when it did not get its way. Thus, John often awoke mystified that he had it within himself, somewhere, to behave in such a childish manner. He often reflected back upon his dreams ashamed and filled with regret. At other times, his Astral Body appeared to be mature, considerate, and controlled; they way he behaved during his normal waking life.

 

Every glance, look, feeling, and idea came to life during his sleep life and was carefully scrutinized by Divine Guides. They often confronted John with it during the night while sleeping and he was forced to change, and alter, a habit that was destructive or taking seed...however small it may have seemed to John at the time.

The Astral Body in an untransformed state is a child. It cannot exist on its own in the physical world. In turn, the Ego-I cannot exist on its own in the Astral, or spiritual, world. The two are sheaths of an integrated whole that reflect one another in mysterious ways. The Astral Body works through the "subconscious" through feelings, impulses, and ideas. The Ego-I sifts through these ideas and impulses as they surge through the soul while awake in an increasingly conscious manner as meditating exercises are practiced.

 

The Ego-I then decides how to act upon, and manage, these impulses which compel he or she to behave in a certain way; either good or bad. Thus, we are influenced by our Samskara, and how we apply our will, as well as Divine and Opposing Powers who operate within fields, or areas, of human activity. Obviously, these are invisible to the naked eye during waking life to all but the most developed human beings who have achieved a higher state of consciousness.

​

Thus, what emerged over the course of several months, and years, was a team effort that required incredible patience, Divine guidance, an informed path, and practice. Eventually, a vital change had to be introduced, and take root, that could stabilize John's Astral Body which increasingly took on the attributes of his Ego-I. In time, each seeker must have complete mastery over his or her Astral Body having purified it of its lower impulses. Many exercises, scenarios, and mysterious interactions between John's Astral Body, his teachers, and his spiritual family (consisting of several individuals) occurred which cannot be explained or discerned in the physical world.

 

These are purely spiritual experiences that occur in a non-linear and multi-dimensional way which consist of color, forces, feelings, thoughts, echoes, "resonances", and willing on the spiritual plane where the inner aspects of the human being come to life. Deeds, thinking, feeling, and willing govern our lives while awake but all aspects of these core elements of the human being come to life outwardly in the spiritual world. They are perceptible as living images, colors, feelings, and even smells.

​

Amanda worked with John for months exercising extreme patience and effort to help him. John's spatial block, and erratic behavior, refused to change. John often observed his Astral Body while dreaming in terror. At other times, John's Ego observed an Astral Body that appeared to be a rest and peace. Some nights were a disaster while others were encouraging. A step forward appeared to be occurring followed by two steps backward. There was continued "pressure" testing of John to see where things broke. When they did, a corrective action was quickly put in place to test and bring to the conscious mind those errors of thinking, feeling, and willing that needed to be addressed and changed.

 

Thus, John would awaken with what he needed to correct through active participation in a ongoing process. Proper meditation, prayer, and control of diet, thinking, willing, and feeling were vital. All junk foods and harmful substances were given up years before. John had long since given up meat, tobacco, alcohol, and harmful foods such as heavy carbohydrates, fried foods, mushrooms, and lentils. These foods disturb the Etheric and Astral body and create vexations and false images on the Astral Plane that skew, and corrupt, the objective perception of a person. For example, eating lobster might clothe a colleague who approached him on the Astral Plane in a Lobster shell; meat products can amplify lower and primal influences. Lower foods, habits, feelings, and ideas attracted the opposing powers who work within the human being in mysterious and hidden ways...

​

Friends, teachers, and relatives tried time and time again to help, making gradual progress. Amanda continued to bring love and friendship to John, and try to instruct him, but a change was soon implemented by spiritual leaders. This path wasn't working for a variety of reasons and time was running out. Amanda had other tasks to perform, which are described by Dr. Steiner about a soul's journey from death to rebirth, and another soul was brought in to help. Throughout this process, a good friend and relative had acted as the "Team Leader", as it were, who was connected to John throughout many prior lifetimes. The two worked together ceaselessly to help John.

 

This call was answered by another soul who emerged to help and bring John back into balance at the Astral level. it appears that very few, if any, souls except for Amanda, and his close friend "Max", who had long been helping John since he died years before, had a closer karmic history than this woman did. She appeared suddenly and a change was introduced. "Max" was now working with two people who, in addition to loving John immensely, were long-connected to him through prior lifetimes.

 

This woman was with John when human souls first entered the physical plane eons ago. She was his feminine reflection with whom he had been separated by the paths of karmic necessity which were destined to dovetail together again over the course of repeated lifetimes. They had known each other during some of the most difficult moments in human history. They had been separated, reunited and separated again; sometimes overlapping in such a way that they lost contact with one another for perhaps 1, 2 or 3 lifetimes.

 

This woman was John's soulmate who had transitioned to the spiritual world several decades before...
