When I find my self in these moments I try to think of the pleasant memories and honor that person by keeping that something alive. I've had a spur of longing where something or someone triggered intense and non-ordinary states of consciousness. The experience let me meet her in a dream and I believe we shared a past life together. The dream itself was a special place in her heart which I was accurately able to describe to her in person. That dream ended without bodies, golden light and the feeling of autumn. It was a type of co-existence, one harmonious feeling. In reality, in this life, she wanted nothing to do with me and was quick to move in on an acquaintance at the time. She did not want to keep the connection alive and made it very clear whatever past life we shared- it would not be the same this time around.
It's the passing of time and the continued experience that allows me a sense of contentment. But to face the past again, it's tricky. There are others I've found my self longing for and what works for me is what I've shared with you. I take the little pleasantries like a love to cook or, an ability to speak ones mind- to make light of a situation... little things I've always admired about the other, whether they knew it or not, and I keep that expression alive. I do this even for those with whom I've ultimately found disagreeable but know there were aspects to our relationship that were beautiful. In this way I hope I am living an expression of who I am or want to be in this life. I also hope it is honoring the other person.
At a certain point, it is difficult to separate the one true love from the many forms it hides behind. Not everyone views life in this manner, but I've been blessed to experience this ultimate game of hide and seek. Knowing this, I try to enjoy life and recognize what that word means. Life. There's still so much to learn. It's hard, and you may always carry that longing with you. So recognize when Spirit is speaking to you and cherish the little things. Life has its surprising ways, if you are open to living.
Best of luck... and kind regards.
