1116 My sons

An excerpt from private chat on November 16, 2011

Diane: My sons Peter and Simon are so different from one another. Why did they choose to be born as brothers in this lifetime?

MEntity:

In regard to these fragments being brothers:

All of you, as Essence, had crossed each other's paths over several lifetimes, but had not had any close-knit lifetimes with each other, yet. Most of those lifetimes come with those from the same Cadre. Several times, however, a band of Essences will come together in a tight-knit family scenario and see how it goes.

The results are profound, in most cases, because so much is learned from one another, but they can also feel like bizarre roommates thrown together from backgrounds that are utterly unfamiliar.

Maureen: LOL

MEntity:

Those different backgrounds, or different Cadres, has no bearing on the intimacy and love that can be shared in the lifetime, but that takes work. Moreso than those who have to work in generating from within the same Cadre. It is courageous and inspiring when fragments come together to do this. It is much like adopting because one chooses to love a child, rather than loving a child because one birthed a child.

Not that one is better or more loving than the other, but that this is a fair comparison in general.
