The Story of Solstice and Soulmate
Once upon awhile ago there was a soul in heaven who was happily enjoying all of his soulful friends. Then one day the soul, whose name was Solstice, asked all of his friends to gather around. He had an announcement. When they were all present he told them he had made a decision. He has chosen to have the experience of forgiveness. Immediately there was a murmur heard from the gathering.
One spoke up “Forgiveness is an illusion. There is only truth here. You can’t experience forgiveness here.” “I know, replied Solstice, but it is time for me to expand my Self by exploring forgiveness.” Another said, “Then you’ll have to go to the land of guilt, the planet earth. They provide the most opportunity for the experience you seek.” “Yes,” said another, “I understand they do lots of judging there. They condemn others and themselves all day long.” “Then that is where I shall go,” Solstice decided. “Who of you will go with me?”
Many of the souls shook their heads. They were probably remembering their experience on planet earth. Solstice pleaded, “oh, come on guys. I can’t do this without you.” There was silence throughout. Then slowly one raised her hand. “I will go with you.” All of the souls looked at the one who was speaking. It was Soulmate.
One soul queried, “you are willing to go to planet earth with Solstice to help him experience forgiveness? Do you know you will have to experience fear and judgment and guilt? Your vibrations will lower and your energy will become dense and you will not remember who you are.”
“I know”, spoke Soulmate. “To experience forgiveness, we both will see only each other’s faults. We will not seek to understand, but only to blame. We will believe that guilt is real. We will attack each other without sensitivity.” Solstice spoke, “Then surely I will forget you are Soulmate. You would do all of this so that I might experience forgiveness?” “Of course”, replied Soulmate. “I love you.”
One of the wisest of souls stood tall. “We will remember for you who you are. We will be with you every moment in your exploration that you might remember the illusion of your experience and come to know that you are two gentle spirits choosing an opportunity to expand your soul.”
Solstice and Soulmate, standing together hand in hand, bowed to their friends and expanded their light to touch all present. As they turned to leave on their journey, one voice in the distance could be heard exclaiming, “have fun!”
