Before stepping into the realm of human existence, our souls engage in a profound pre-life ritual—they create contracts with other souls. These contracts serve as guiding maps, facilitating the exploration of fundamental human experiences that our souls yearn for. Through these experiences, we feel into the depths of concepts like unconditional love, forgiveness, healing, and compassion—essential components of our human journey.
But these lessons don’t happen in isolation. They unfold within our interactions and relationships with others. To optimize the time our soul has in the human experience, they enter into energetic contracts with fellow souls, each designed to foster growth and enrich our exploration of human existence.
These contracts can be categorized into three main types: those in which we show up for others, those where another soul enters our life to assist us, and those that are mutual agreements where both souls strive to help each other.
Our journey is marked by the pursuit of lessons and experiences that align with our life purpose and soul purpose, propelling us forward on our life path.
Successfully Fulfilling a Contract
It is possible to fulfill a contract in both high and low vibrational ways. Successfully fulfilling a contract means that it has been played out in a high vibrational way. When this is done, souls may choose to reincarnate together in the future in perhaps different roles or relationships, which allows them to explore love and support in new ways. This turns the cycle of reincarnation into more of an adventure rather than just repeating the same patterns. Life isn't just about suffering; it's also about learning through love, growth, discovery, and compassion. When we fulfill a contract in a positive and uplifting way, it opens doors to achieving our life goals and dreams.
Approaching a contract with high vibration energy also enriches our current life experience. It equips us with the necessary skills, knowledge, and supportive environments for a meaningful existence. Moreover, the people we encounter in our lives play a crucial role in enhancing our experiences, whether through direct help or by presenting challenges that spur our personal growth.
When Contracts Don’t Work Out
As imperfect beings, it is common for contracts to remain unfulfilled, often taking multiple incarnations before getting it right. There are various reasons why contracts fail, but they typically fall into two categories:
Missed Contracts: Occasionally, individuals miss the chance to fulfill a contract due to specific life choices they've made, or by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While not inherently problematic, this situation prompts the soul to form a new agreement with another soul in order to fulfill the original contract. The universe facilitates new connections to ensure the contract's completion.
Unfulfilled Contracts:Â This occurs when contracts are not missed, but they may remain incomplete due to either of the following circumstances:
Low Vibrational Interactions: Contracts may unfold in a lower vibrational frequency, resulting in scenarios like abuse, toxic relationships, or violence.
 Broken Contracts: Sometimes, the necessary vibrational alignment for the contract to manifest is unattainable. Souls may realize this impossibility due to personal growth or resistance, leading to the termination of the relationship. This dissolution may either be complete or result in a dysfunctional or toxic dynamic, rendering fulfillment impossible. Broken contracts can occur due to missed opportunities or engaging in low vibrational interactions.
Often, contracts within soul families aim at mutual benefit but don't guarantee consistent manifestation of our highest selves. Instances of abuse, neglect, or betrayal can rupture these contracts, rendering them void or postponing the intended reciprocal support to another lifetime. During a life review, the involved souls assess whether their contracts should be revisited in a new incarnation, possibly through a different type of relationship.
In cases where a contract remained unmet or broken in a past life, individuals can be granted a second chance or a "do-over." Souls may opt to revisit these contracts in future incarnations, either with the same or different individuals. This presents another opportunity to embody high vibrational actions and fulfill their intended purposes. The essence of a contract lies in its manifestation through high vibrational deeds.
Purposeful Living and Centered Paths
Having a strong sense of purpose empowers us to take more risks in alignment with our highest expansion. When our purpose feels clear, we have more access to our intuition, connect with it more deeply, and we are more likely to take big leaps to follow it. Our intuition is one of the most powerful forces that leads to our successes.
Resisting growth can lead to repeated patterns, but every lesson serves as a stepping stone towards understanding and achieving true joy, happiness, and fulfillment.
In conclusion, the exploration of soul contracts unveils the intricate dance of our interconnectedness and the purposeful navigation of our life paths. Each contract serves as a beacon guiding us towards growth, understanding, and, ultimately, the realization of our true selves. While the journey may be complex and filled with twists and turns, every step brings us closer to the fulfillment of our soul's deepest desires.
The number of contracts each soul makes remains a mystery, as unique as the grains of sand on a beach. Each lifetime is a precious and distinct experience, and the soul's ambitions for growth and exploration are boundless.
