We often use the term \u2018Soul Mate\u2019 and I know I have a couple of people, very dear to me who have lovingly given counsel and helped me find solace throughout my life. One of whom was like me at the time \u2013 a mum of two young children trying to follow our path of faith, work, be a good wife and mum and look after ageing parents in poor health. She a was a devout Muslim \u2013 but that\u2019s another story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book explores the relationship between the \u2018soul mate\u2019 and the \u2018seeker\u2019; it addresses a formal structured process to work together, how to set \u2018ground-rules\u2019 and describes \u2018tools\u2019 which will deepen and enhance the experience for both involved. Whilst the book is helping to provide a professional framework, the many \u2018tools\u2019 referred to help us all in less formal everyday relationships we encounter as part of our mission. These are for me the basics of the second commandment \u2013 \u2018Love thy neighbour\u2026\u2019 because, of course loving and helping others involves \u2018talking and listening\u2019 as well as \u2018doing\u2019. \u2018You have ears, why don\u2019t you use them?\u2019 the book challenges (taken from Luke ch 8 v 8) and goes on to remind us to \u2018listen\u2019 externally to others (both verbally and non-verbally), but also to take time to \u2018listen\u2019 to our internal messages. We are urged to listen to our own feelings, not to neglect our inner needs. The book is based upon Celtic Christians (from Scotland and Ireland) from the third century onwards and reminds us that in the Celtic Tradition, heaven and earth were seen as very close together and death is an opportunity not a threat. The different paths we find ourselves on from birth to death are explored through the metaphor of \u2018journey\u2019 for spiritual growth referring to the different stages on our individual journeys through childhood adolescence and adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know you may be thinking \u2018well I knew all that\u2019, but for me the book has been helpful in both endorsing and reinforcing my commitment to understanding, respecting and responding to my own spiritual journey and to that of others. As the book challenges \u2013 \u2018&#8230;will I be responsible for cradling life in others, or will I retire and live only for myself?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us be kind to each other and remember to receive with thanks the help we get from our \u2018soul-mates\u2019 and try and return to others this gift of special friendship and support. Finally, we are reminded to read and \u2018use\u2019 the Bible every day \u2013 in our busy lives something to try hard to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dorothy Steel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(PS Apologies to the Author and anyone else who has read the book and feels I have \u2018got it all wrong\u2019!
