Somebody Elses Problems

Question:

Suddenly a few months ago, things seem to turn for the worse. I lost my job, have had major strains in my relationships, a string of health issues; and life just seems a lot harder.

I almost feel like I've been cursed. Could that be?
___________
Answer:

I don't think you are cursed, I think you are pregnant. Not in the physical sense, but you may be experiencing what the Kabbalists call, a soul pregnancy.

Sometimes we go through times in our life, that seem to be incongruous with our life's natural flow. It can come in the form, of an unexpected burst of creative energy, that lasts a while, but eventually fades; or a patch of particularly challenging and difficult episodes, that take over our life, but eventually pass.

It is as if our life has taken a detour, and we head on an unexpected path for a while; only to come back later, and resume our life as it was.
___________
One possible explanation for this, is the Kabbalistic concept of ibbur, or soul pregnancy. Soul pregnancy, is a form of temporary reincarnation.

If a person died without completing their mission, their soul may be sent down again into this world; not to live in a body again, but just to go through particular experiences, or fulfill a specific mission.

This soul may latche onto a living person, and hitche a ride with them for a while; as long as they need, to complete what they need to fulfill.

If you are chosen to host such a soul, then for a specific period of time, your soul becomes pregnant, with another soul. Like a pregnant woman, there is a life within a life; two beings, whose fate and feelings, are deeply intertwined.

And so, your life trajectory is adjusted, to accommodate the needs of this guest soul.
___________
This experience, is to the benefit of both souls. The hitch-hiking soul, gets to fulfill its mission; and the host soul, gets an infusion of extra energy; as it can tap into, the strengths and talents, of its visitor.

Of course, it also means, that the host soul receives extra challenges. But every one of those challenges, comes with the offer of a gift - to reveal new layers of soul energy, that would not have been accessed, without the challenge.
____________
In time the guest leaves, when the soul fulfils its mission, and the host goes back to their life. But things are not the same. You will have been permanently enriched, with the experiences that your spiritual guest, brought you.

And you will be stronger and deeper, for it.
The challenges pass, but the growth last forever.
