    If you're already letting go, with mutual agreement, of the previous relationship, you are free to discover whether what you have with this other man is worth exploring. And what it means to have such a strong mutual connection with him. You'll have to find out what it is in this life: friendship or love. Talk about that with him. Don't let the past life stuff replace the very real practical questions in this one. Good luck.

    Thankyou for info, so can you help me with this then? why would i meet a person i know i have spent many lifetimes with? its an incredible situation to find myself in.....this man is aware of our connection too. He is a very decent man and would no way take advantage of this situation. what would be the reason for two souls meeting again and being aware of this fact? it almost feels cruel to me, it feels like we have connected again for a reason that perhaps i am missing. I was at a talk that he was at and he put his arm around me to say hi and my body felt like it disapeared, the strangest feeling?

    Sorry to say this, but I'd stop texting with him. In this life you need to get over him, unless you're willing to leave your steady relationship over him.

    And no, I don't think you're a fool. The emotional stuff you're going through is fairly common. Not everybody is aware of a past life connection in such cases, but that's not the essence of the problem.

    Yes i get that.......i dont think i want to have a relationship with this man. Its such a strange emotion, one i have no experience of, my mind puts the emotion down to physical stuff but i know this is not true as that would not even measure up to how i feel. Me and my partner are now ending our relationship due to the fact that we know we are no longer growing and in love, so sad. The journey inward takes courage and alot of honesty. Thankyou x

    :) No, I don't think true love is emotionless. I think the emotion transforms as the relationship matures, from infatuation to something more durable and deep. But that takes work on both sides. If you let your relationship slide, the emotion and love will disappear. Finding comfort with another man is one way to avoid facing up to the realities of your current relationship. Even if you are just texting him.

    The emotional intensity is going to the wrong man - and that takes away from your present relationship. Getting infatuated with someone other than your partner is really not that hard. But if you feed that, you put your steady partner at second place. And there's no way of knowing till you live together whether the 'new man' really is 'better'.

    what do you think,
    Emotion is what holds us back from true love?

    For me two spiritual teachers ( over the past 6 years) have had the most meaningful and uplifting effect on my life. One is Barry Long, who lived in Ausralia. He died several years ago. And I never met him personally. However he had a very practical and no nonsense approach to enlightenment.His books and tapes are well worth it. The other teacher, Eric Robert, I have been lucky to have contact with over the past 3 years. He teaches, lives, and radiates unconditional love. I recently wrote a lens about him - www.squidoo.com/ericrobert, which says more than I can say here

    To realise my real nature that -I am god.I am not the body.I am that by which I know I am or I am that I am.I am the I feeling.The mistake being done by every one is linking our I feeling to the body due to which we are not able to realise our reality that every thing in the universe.is god.God gave some clues to realise our reality.The best thing is the dream concept.Let- I am a bank employee .At night I ate & slept.Then I created a dream that I am a beggar dying of hunger and begging every one for food.Then a saint came there and said that this entire thing is a dream dreamt by me and I am not the beggar but the creator of the dream,but I don't agree.The saint asks me to meditate on the point from which I get my I feeling.Doing so I shall come out of the dream and then agree that it's a dream.I am only the beggar&saint.Here the problem is I forgot my identity and identified myself as a beggar.Likewise this is a dream and we are god and the entire universe is the creation of our mind.
