This means the path of higher development, the path of the Quest. It is the road trodden by those making the pilgrimage towards the ultimate Godhood which lies behind the Mastery of Life, and is the prescribed destiny of humankind. Many people are unable to accept the challenge of such a great destiny and therefore they repudiate the greatness inherent in the human race. Culdians are often told by less than well informed people that by aspiring to be like God they are emulating Lucifer who sought to set himself up as equal to the Supreme Spirit. However, such statements are indicative of ignorance. Culdians do not affirm that humans should seek to depose, supplant or even equal the Supreme Being, but only to aspire to gradually draw closer to Him, to be worthy children. Can any child who seeks to emulate his father be truly thought to be against his father? So, the Soulpath is for those who wish to draw nearer to the Supreme Spirit.
Compatible pair whose destinies are linked together through incarnations. Only Soulmates can experience love in its ultimate expression. They will also carry forward latent memories of previous associations. Soulmates are drawn together through the Law of Affinity, but never made under congenial conditions in the initial incarnation where they are always presented with the tests of unusual difficulties and challenges. Irrespective of how they meet, Soulmates remain together through subsequent incarnations and they are jointly responsible for what these incarnations bring. Through the incarnations together each becomes what the other desires. There is a sharing of kharma. The initial compatibility of Soulmates may of itself manifest as irritations and may present problems. It is not unusual for Soulmates to be repulsed by each other in the initial encounters and always there are tests which, if surmounted, ultimately weld them together. There is a potential Soulmate for everyone, the less than one in a hundred thousand in any generation will find his or her ‘other half’. One of the Mysteries, which cannot be explained here, is that originally the two were one.
