The Spiritual "Family"
part 3
Spiritual Fraternity:
¿Dime con quién andas?... ¡y te diré quien tu eres!...
spirit
spir.it, n. 1. the incorporeal part of human beings in general or of an individual, or an aspect of this, such as the mind or the soul. 2. the divine influence as an agency working in the heart of a human being. 3. the soul or heart as the seat of feelings or sympathies. 4. the dominant tendency or character of anything.
spirit: Hebrew xwr (ruakh: feminine gender!) = Greek PNEUMA (neuter gender!) pneuma, n. the vital spirit; the soul. The spirit of God; the Holy Ghost; in both languages the word for 'spirit' is like 'breath' or 'wind' (Isa 57:16, Jn 3:5-8), akin to pneîn to blow, to breath.
family
fam.i.ly, n. 1. parents and their children, whether living together or not. 2. any group of persons closely related by blood. 3. a group of persons who form a household under one head. 4. a group of related people. 5. a unit operating in one area under a local leader. 6. subdivision of an order in classification.
sympathy
sym.pa.thy, n. 1. harmony of or agreement in feeling, as between persons or on the part of one person with respect to another. 2. a quality of mutual relations between people or things whereby whatever affects one also affects the other. 3. to be in approving accord, as with a person, cause, etc. 4. to agree, correspond, or accord.
Blood ties do not necessarily establish the ties between the spirits... Our spirit or soul is our True Self. True family ties are not those of the blood or the flesh, but those of sympathy, and of the communion of thoughts... that bind the spirits before, during and after their incarnation. How else can we explain that two beings from different parents, can be more like brothers or sisters in the spirit than if they shared blood ties; they can attract each other, seek each other, share joy, while two siblings from the same parents may reject each other, as we see everyday.
*…and then, will matter be destroyed or not?
All of nature, all productions and all the creatures are linked, and will be dissolved again in their own root, for the nature of matter dissolves in what belongs only to its nature. Those who have ears to hear, listen.
When spirits are brought together in life by sympathy, similar interests and goals, their identity, moral progress and mutual affection tend to merge, forming families. These same spirits seek each other and gather throughout their earthly migrations as they do in the spirit. This is how united and homogeneous families are born. There are then two types of family: the family by physical bonds and the family by spiritual bonds: the first is fragile like matter, it extinguishes with time and many times dissolves morally from the present life; the second is lasting, and is fortified and perpetuated by the purification in the spirit world through the diverse migrations of the soul.
When genuine family ties appear in true light, these are no longer the weak ties of matter, which hold on to the members, but long lasting bonds of the spirit which are perpetuated and consolidated in a purifying incarnation instead of a dismembering one. These family ties are not destroyed by death and reincarnation, on the contrary they are fortified.
In the spirit world, spirits form groups or families as they do in life, united by mutual affection, sympathy, and similar inclinations. They experience happiness in their unity, they seek each other out, not only in the spirit world, but in their incarnations, being born into the same material families or into the same communities, often finding each other to work together for their mutual advancement. Those in the spirit world maintain close ties with those who are incarnate. After each existence, they have moved a step forward in the road towards perfection, each time less attached to matter.
Only the real affection or Love of souls towards one another survives death. Those spirits, which only unite in life for material reasons, have no reason to seek each other out in the afterlife. Only the true bonds created by the spirit or True Self survive, those associated with the material senses disappear with death, due to the fact that the cause of the affection does not exist in the afterlife. The soul is eternal, it exists forever.
*Love your brother/sister like your soul, guard him/her like the pupil of your eye.
Only when these bonds are created by the spirit or True Self, can there be any assurance that envy, jealousy, fighting and all types of negative Ego projections will not dissolve the group or family. This off course does not mean that there will be absolutely no collisions of opinion and conflicting obligations, or disagreements about the "right" way to do things. One must constantly meditate and listen to the voice of the Inner Spirit in order to find the individual intentions of the True Self.
*If two make peace between them in the same house, they will say to the mountain: “move,” and the mountain shall move.
*These are the secret sayings of the living Christ and whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings shall not taste death.

right on...couldn't have said it better myself...
i believe in past lives and that if one is tuned in enough, they can have knowledge of what past life they know people in their current reality from. but i suppose that's debatable by most...i just let my intution guide me...
