The people in your life By D. Paul Reilly: The title of a talk which I listened to given by Dr. Paul Masters President of The University of Metaphysics on the internet last Sunday was 'Karmic Relationships'. Believe you me, it was a most illuminating talk crammed full of some extremely interesting concepts. The basis of what he was saying in a nutshell is this. All of 'The people in your life' are indeed meant to be in your life for a very definite reason. There is no such thing as a chance meeting, there are no coincidences. Everything that happens to each of us throughout each and every day, and all of the interactions which we have with a wide variety of people, are in 'Divine order', our whole life is fully orchestrated by God. We, all of us, are merely players in The Orchestra of Life, hopefully producing beautiful, harmonious, melodic music. Yes indeed, nothing ever happens just by chance, and those in your life whom you love, and those whom you're not at all keen on, are in fact all pieces of the puzzle, which forms the basis for our present existence on planet earth. Dr. Masters talked about some personal relationships which, although they started out on a good note, deteriorated to the point where both parties became quite hostile toward each other, and eventually the relationship ended in acrimony. He continued by asking the question...what is the purpose of such a relationship in The Divine scheme of things? The simple answer to that most important question is, to eventually move on from the relationship, by releasing and completely forgiving the other person. Yes My Friend, there's no doubt about it, everything really is in 'Divine Order'. So, even if you're going through 'Hell' right now, figuratively speaking, it's all a part of God's Divine Plan to mold you into a much better, stronger, loving, forgiving, emphatic, spiritual being. But, let me repeat for emphasis, what I've already said. Those people whom you had a most acrimonious relationship with, be it a former spouse, family member, business associate, or friend, MUST now be completely forgiven by you, with no If's, But's, or And's to it! And as Dr. Masters said, if per chance you refuse point blank to forgive and release that person; no matter what they did to you, you will not have learnt the most important lesson, which the whole incident was designed by God to teach you. If this happens, you'll just have to experience it all over again, and possibly with the very same person, in a future existence! THINK ABOUT IT!
