Life is so closely and so intimately connected.
The people in your family, at your work, and among your friends have very probably been with you before in one of your past lives. Before we go on the adventure of our lives, we agree to come into certain relationships with others. These relationships are designed to help us resolve our problems with these people while at the same time helping us to work through our own issues. The goal of reincarnation is to open us to greater levels of love. This becomes both easier and harder when we reincarnate with the same group of people over time.
