What is a Binding Contract?
A binding contract is not too dissimilar from a legally binding contract, except in the spiritual realms. It is undertaken by two people who are incarnated and have a decision to make.
- It is not something that you take to a lawyer.
- It is something that is written in the mind and the heart simultaneously.
- The difficulty is that either one or neither of the party may be consciously aware of undertaking it, thus making it very difficult for the soul and the incarnated person to detect from the afterlife.
- An example would be if a man "promised" to do something for his beloved, and then "reneged" or broke that promise. However, it needs to be thought of as a "resentful" or "regretful" contract. Usually this is created at the point of death where the person who broke the contract stays in the astral realms (or equivalent location according to their religious or spiritual beliefs) to do their life review. Here they can be influenced by their own "inner demon" or "inner negative thoughts", and they can not at this time see a clear picture of their life. They can be influenced by the negative entities of duality who will "egg them on" so to speak. During this time they can not see or access the beings of light because of their proximity to the negative entities, who make thinking difficult (thought continues after we die, as we are an eternal mind stream).
- So for example, Lord Shiva below has given an example. Katische was a male devotee of Lord Shiva and had a lover who was female. This female believed that she was promised a gift of a dowry in exchange for marital vows. However, circumstances changed the moment the devotion of Lord Shiva meant that he entered a monk like existence and decided to no longer be a "householder". Thus he broke off the romantic arrangement and the female was rightly devastated. In this time curses, as now, were common but mostly they are issued in the heat of the moment through rather emotionally charged thoughts. Therefore although we do not know what she thought at the time, other than to be rightly devastated, at the time of her death she might have thought, I will never forgive him, may he never find love again, or something equivalent. It became binding the moment he died, reviewed his life and thought, "I regret the pain I caused her but I do not regret my act of devotional service to Lord Shiva or the saving of the boy along the river Ganges, which meant that he made a religious protest and ultimately was not able to be a devotee but lived as an outcast in the lepper colony. She may have learned of his circumstances and felt something along the lines of "what a wasted life, we could have been married and had a family", and felt anger and judged his decisions. Why did it become binding on his behalf? Because at the time of death, he might have realised that his actions were ultimately futile if he knew that the child had chosen to incarnate in a lower caste and with a disability to pay off perceived karma. But naturally this is all speculation but I hope it helps understand the concept.
"I Lord Shiva, hereby authorise Katische Dionne Haberfield, and any other name her soul has desired to be known by, to help other souls achieve the releasement of binding contracts. This is her reward, although strange some say, for discovering and releasing her own binding contract which was placed upon her by a lover in a lifetime where she was a devotee to myself in Ancient Mesopotamia. She chose to save a soul from drowning in the river and become a lower caste, in order to protest the inadequacies of a society where rank and religion were more important than the life of a beggar. In choosing to save this soul, she (actually she was a "he" in this lifetime") shunned society, and lived within the leprosy community that this poor child, who ultimately died, had belonged to.
For he was only searching for coins, to buy his dinner, because he was both homeless and an orphan." 1:11pm 6/5/25
Watch the past life that Lord Shiva describes in the above message:
Please note it is an excerpt of the lifetime and Katische's focus was on discovering her connection to a boy named Harry who she crossed over in Balmoral Cemetery.
