Soul Recognition

I’m not good at small talk. It’s a waste of time overall. You learn nothing from small talk. This is my opinion of course. I want to know the deeper stuff in life. I want to just go there because I am a learner and a seeker and an indigo and an introvert that contemplates everything. But soul recognition is like a sixth sense that I rarely give much credit to but this is the thing–its real. Soul recognition is when you are attracted to the soul of another person not for what they can give you but what wavelength you share. Whether that is your ego color, your mental openness or feeling reverberations. I find this connection in friendships, loves, books, movies and music but people mostly that you just have an affinity towards. Horses have this too. It’s called resonance. It happens in their guts…yes their highly sensitive guts. I always wonder if when a horse tosses a human off of their back they may be reacting to the discordance in energy. We as humans may perhaps have this too as they are finding that neural cells are part of the intestinal lining.

There is a variable of intensity though…I believe this about soul recognition and this is where I’m probably going to freak all the traditional Christians out….I believe in reincarnation. There is no reason why it cannot exist however there are a lot of reasons why it can exist. First off though do you really think that God as infinite and omnipresent as He/She is thinks we as humans could even come close in comprehension to the lessons needed to be learned in one lifetime? There is such a vastness to understanding of so many concepts. There are also plenty of things to get you sidetracked which can be its own learning experience. So in that way soul recognition is twofold…you may have an affinity for another person that you cannot explain because they are there to teach you something or you recognize their soul from another lifetime. So the intensity can vary because its a glimpse of a past time…a fleeting reflection, or its like a slap in the face because its a lesson the universe is requesting that you are needing to learn immediately, or its a mind check. Here are some examples for explanation…

The first one that comes to mind was an encounter with a security guard at the Denver Art Museum where I worked as a student in college. For two weeks straight I ran into this lady every day. Somehow we started a conversation, I found out that she had a traumatic brain injury two years prior and she had reverted emotionally to that of a small little girl. This gave her an amazing talent: illiustration. She was the best illiustrator I had ever met. Not only were her drawings beautiful and really good they captured so much innocence that I started crying upon looking at them. I learned something from this encounter. I felt like I needed to learn that God blesses when there are things withdrawn. Another encounter, a close friend in my college days saved my life by taking me into her care. I was as ready to die as a person could get. Razor blade slices covered my arms and my soul felt trashed lying in a desert. She asked me why I had not killed myself…I was not afraid of God’s punishment or judgement but I was afraid of disappointing a God that could die for my sake on a cross and thus my life was not mine to take away. I also told her I didn’t want to give the devil the pleasure of finally destroying me. I also gave to her my saving story or what some people call their testimony, but her response was to me…I think for the first time in my life I understand who God truly is. So on that encounter I was to give a message not receive anything. After I stayed with her a little longer I went back to my life and I never sliced on my skin again nor really felt suicidal to the point I did then. So maybe my gift was scaring away some of my own demons and taking away the power of torment from myself. That’s the healing that love provides.
