Vocation - a commitment made before heaven

04/29/2010

The soul's incarnation is a process of descent into matter, during which it forgets what it has experienced above; this is why, when it arrives on earth, the soul no longer has much awareness of the commitments it made to heaven before coming down. But the years go by... As time passes, feelings, impressions, certain thoughts and aspirations pass through the soul, at first fleetingly, then more and more precisely. This is experienced as a tendency to seek out certain activities or to consider a particular profession. This is what is known as a vocation. Those who have this feeling of being called to carry out a particular task or fulfil a particular duty should not hesitate. They may not explicitly tell themselves they have a previously agreed mission to fulfil, but heaven sees to it that they feel in their element in that one situation. And whatever the difficulties they encounter on the way, they must not change direction.
