the oracle speaks: love and relationships

Douglas Cottrell’s radio show, on love and relationships, 1/24/2012

The topic of the radio program on January 24 was “Love and Relationships.” As we grow older, we might think that we have things all figured out. We might have money, have moved, and have been married. But as we grow older, it is likely that we learn that relationships are extremely complex. There might be a spiritual connection and a karmic connection, and energy transferring on a spiritual level as can sometimes be seen with people’s auras mixing when they are involved in relationships. It stands to reason that as emotions are very complex, so are relationships.

The term “soulmates” can refer to spousal relationships, friends, even enemies. Sometimes it can be seen in a mother/daughter close relationship, sometimes a father/son relationship, it is two people who have had many lives together, typically, and balance each other perfectly. Relationships can also be looked at from a law of attraction standpoint. What it is that you desire in your mind, what you think about, is mindfulness, will manifest. There is always someone matched perfectly to you, his weaknesses, her strengths, which is the balance of relationships. One caller asked the question as to how to manifest that person, and a suggested prayer is: Dear Lord God Almighty, from your infinite supply of men, please send me one, and the sooner, the better!” A love relationship with someone who is older is not likely to develop as quickly, so patience is necessary. From a man’s perspective, it is often helpful for ladies to take a step forward, sometimes they need to be told directly, such as “flowers would be nice.”

One caller posed the question: what is a rebound relationship? It is a relationship when you are relying on someone else for healing, which is the difficulty of that situation. In any successful relationship, your emotions have to be upbeat, and cannot be based upon need, that is why it will take some time to have a healthy relationship. A caller asked about twin flames, which is explained as a person who has the same energy pattern, usually there is instant recognition. Often they have the same kinds of clothes, same kinds of experiences, sometimes even the same medical operations. The twin flame could be a friend, a family member or a love interest.

Love doesn’t die: one caller asked about a deceased husband, and was assured that he was still there, jumping and dancing. The caller mentioned that he had enjoyed dancing. Another caller discussed a deceased boyfriend, and was assured that he was still there and looking for a new companion for the woman, because he wanted her to be happy, comforted, and loved, and was bringing her someone out of his own unconditional love for her.

Another person related a situation where he had instantly recognized a woman. After a reading, he was told that they had been very close in a past life, during which life their parents had separated them, but they had come together later in that past life and lived out the end of their lives together. They were good friends in this life and it was therefore easy to understand why they instantly connected in a long-term friendship in this life. This kind of recognition is common to all of us, when we see someone we have never met but feel like we already “know” the person.

A new e-book on the website entitled “Emotions: The Constructive and Destructive Forces,” is very instructive in how emotions can affect relationships. It answers some very important questions, such as how to overcome emotional situations in your life, how to handle anger (don’t bury it or you can get sick). In fact, almost every reading that has been given mentions the phrase: “thoughts are things, you know.” People who doubt this should go to an area where prisoners are held, it is very uncomfortable, because the emotions are so strong that they have permeated the area. People who are clairsentient can feel the rage in people and it can make them physically sick. So in order to have a successful relationship, emotions must be recognized, as well as thoughts, and changed to constructive thoughts rather than destructive thoughts.
