6. It's not possible to know for sure.

We can't even tell if the concept is "real" in the way we usually use that word.

That's what makes the dance of Lila so much fun - we get to choreograph our own moves, through our beliefs and behaviour. What we believe about other people is what creates their meaning for us.

For example, I've had a series of partners who kept me apart from my twin flame for 30 years, and took most my money in the process. Which is the more productive belief - that they were self-centered, gold-digging bi***es who took advantage of my naivete and generosity, or that they were members of my soul family who had pre-existing agreements with Kath and me to make sure we didn't re-unite until we were spiritually ready, and to make sure that we couldn't avoid learning the hard lessons we came here for by buying our way around them? We've chosen door #2, not because it's more real, but because it's more useful to us on our path.
