164 – Soul Contracts – Pacts, Oaths and Promises

This series looks at Soul Contracts. We will discuss if they exist, what they are, and what the traps and pitfalls may be. Today, we look at Pacts, Oaths, and Promises.

Soul Contracts are not the only way to make an Agreement.

Oaths

Oaths, generally speaking, are as binding as any contract.

It is basically a promise to fulfil a request or execute a duty.

For instance, when you join the military, you take an Oath to serve and protect your country. In such a case, you do not get to set out the conditions when you join. You will know in advance what to expect and how far you are likely to get.

Barring things like favouritism, you will start off at the same level and advantages as everyone else.

You will be bound by your Oath to perform the duty that you have sworn to do.

Making an Oath binding requires swearing on something that is sacred to you. Something that you would never wish to see compromised or violated.

The Whole Truth

Another  example of this in the 3D is being under Oath in court. For instance, the Oath, as taken in Australia is:  “I (swear/promise) by Almighty God (or the person may name a god recognized by his or her religion) that the evidence I shall give will be the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth .”

You are essentially making a Promise that is binding on a Soul level.

While you might get away with breaking Oaths on the 3D level, the Soul level is not so forgiving, and there will always be consequences.

If you are forced to make an Oath against your will, you can also plead for clemency from that which you swore by, though some deities / forces are less forgiving than others.

It’s certainly a tricky situation and best avoided unless you have every intention of fulfilling your Oath.

The good thing about making an Oath on the 3D is that, once the body dies, that type of contract is generally deemed to be at an end.

Pacts

Pacts are like Soul Contracts, except less formal. You both make an agreement to do something. This might be to work together to achieve a certain goal or maybe reach a personal milestone in one’s life.

While Pacts are more informal, they can still be binding. If you happen to achieve your goal, but then try to cut out other parties, they may, and often do, seek retribution and compensation.

This can lead to catastrophic situations, especially when you are dealing with high stakes.

Indeed, such Pacts have had terrible consequences for this planet, which are still playing out today. (Though it is beyond the scope of this entry to discuss the details of this.)

Promises

Promises are less binding than Soul Contracts and Pacts. They have more to do with your personal code of ethics. How much value you put on your word and how you view yourself.

People make Promises very easily, and then forget to honor them once they have gotten what they want.

There is always a consequence for breaking a Promise.

There are varying degrees, though.

If you made a promise to do something, (but receive nothing in return for it), then it is generally your reputation that is on the line. Such reputations tend to last beyond this life.

Trust is eroded. We may not remember as people, but we will still feel a lack of trust that we may not be able to explain.

Feelings

When you meet certain parties again, they will most likely hold the memory of your failure to honor your word in their memories at some level.

They may not understand why they might not like or trust you, but they will feel something is off.

If you have made a promise to do something in exchange for another thing, such as a service, then it’s important you either keep that promise or seek to make restitution in other ways.

In such cases, the balance tends to go out, and karmically, you are creating a bond with the other parties that will put you in their debt until all parties are satisfied.

Keep Your Promises

Never make a Promise you do not intend to keep. Sometimes things do go wrong that may prevent you from honoring your word.

In such cases, at the very least, try to resolve it with the relevant parties. Just don’t ignore it.

I’ve never made a Promise I didn’t keep. Sometimes it might take me a while to get around to fulfilling it, but I always will.

I can wallpaper my room with the amount of unfulfilled promises that were made to me in exchange for my services.

If the party is powerful enough, they can force an exchange at some point.

Character

In any case, if you make a Promise, Oath, or Pact, and have no intention of upholding your end of the bargain, then it shows a lack of character.

Nothing is free. Sooner or later, the piper will come calling, and there will be Hell to pay, with interest.

Please don’t be one of those people. Very few will look upon a plea for clemency with compassion.

In Conclusion

There are many nuances to making a Soul Contract. I’ve attempted to highlight the main pitfalls and traps. The bottom line is that, unless you are dealing with mutually benevolent entities, then it’s simply not worth it.

Just don’t do it.
