Siblings in Soul Groups

  A remarkable thing I have learned from Journey of Souls by Michael Newton is that one's immediate soul group, comprising 3-20 individuals, is most likely to be the same as who their siblings are. Not parents, distant relatives, or friends, but brothers and sisters are the people in real life who we are most likely to meet us soul mates. This contradicts the popular belief that soul mates are people we romantically resonate with the most.

 The whole idea makes a lot of sense for several reasons. Being a generation removed, our parents have different learning experiences on a social and cultural level. Technological differences between generations would create too much tension among souls in the same class who are trying to learn the same lessons. Another related one is that siblings are often faced with the same challenges in life, usually from a social or family dynamic. A third is temporal; siblings are of the same generation and would move in and out of lives more seamlessly. They also tend to die in the same age groups. Think about humanity's long history of war, disease, and other agents of speedy death, especially pertaining to infant mortality, which still occurs in today's world. Souls would need to transition quickly in such environments. Yet another is that having the same parents likely exposes soul mates to goals that enhance their innate ones. For example, with my brother and I, when we were younger, being the smartest person in the room may have been a similar goal we had, shaped by the motivation and/or imitation of our cerebral father. Abandonment would be another challenge with us. I'm not saying we are soul mates, as it doesn't really feel that way, but it wouldn't surprise me if we were from the same soul group.

 I don't know why my children were chosen for us as parents yet. If they are part of the same soul group, there may be a lesson they both need to learn from us as parents. Often you won't see the challenges facing siblings until adolescence at the earliest. It will be interesting to see how spiritually developed they are as they grow older together.
