Life Experience - The Young Ones

A long time ago there was a lovely young sensitive spiritual man. He was brought into our life and I knew that it was so that we could help him. He had a lovely relationship and connection with my son when he was young as well.

The young man thought he was very spiritually advanced and very wise, so he began running workshops as a spiritual teacher before he had any serious life experience to offer. Things didn't work out as you can imagine because most of what he knew had come from books and not life experience.

When we met, I did my utmost to help him and we worked together for a little while, he had been trained academically as a graphic designer and thought he knew it all. However, God had sent him a high flyer who had three degrees in life experience to help him to get on track.

At first he took things personally, to him it might have felt like he was being kicked from pillar to post, lots of reality checks! I remember one day he said 'Who are you?".

It was shown to him that design is design. However, if a designer doesn't understand marketing, objectives and strategy, then the design is nothing more than a pretty picture and it is the same with life.

If you do not know the meaning of life than you do not know your reason for being. If you don't know your reason for being, then how can you know your life purpose?

The young man was a wonderful healer and we had some really great times together, purely platonic. We had a lot of mutual friends in the spiritual community. Eventually, the young man took our advice and got some marketing qualifications to aid his design work and its reason for being. Our work took us in different directions, he was beginning his career and I was in a different phase of being on a spiritual level.

However, I will never ever forget the day we did an exhibition together and a lady slaughtered him on the exhibition stand. It was the weekend of Princess Diana's funeral. so everyone was feeling very tender and still in shock of the events that had unfolded.

The potential client was screaming at him and I could see that he was in shock.  I walked over to her calmly and simply asked her 'Do you require some help?" She replied "Yes". I responded, 'Well best you listen then". Immediately, the woman calmed down, the meeting convened and the client was engaged.

It was a few years later that I discovered that the trio had a connection in a past life. The client had been a child of the woman who was her mother,  the man had killed her mother in that past life so in this lifetime he was triggering her past life issues that were unresolved. It was an Australian lifetime and we were aborigines. While in Australia on an Aborigine walkway, I was shown where we slept, where we cooked and also what happened.

When I returned from Australia the young man was doing well and now using both his design and marketing skills. However, the real work began when he was made redundant and was then attracted to take all of him into education. His spirituality, design, marketing,, commercial experience was now an asset to humanity and its children. He thanked me and I knew that the truth still rang in his ears. It was a large contributory factor of getting him on track of the right path for him and he had the humility to acknowledge that fact.

I am so happy and pleased with him, that he did make the breakthroughs that were necessary for him to have a fulfilling life and reach his potential in more ways than one. The last I heard from him, he was planning to get married and was leaving for his new job, in a new county with his new lady.

The moral of the story is do not underestimate the spiritual elders and those that have more life experience then you, because they can be a life saver.
