"As I comment rather frequently, many soul contracts/lesson plans, or improv scripts, which term I prefer because that encompasses the reality of free will, require villains and someone has to agree to play those parts — they could do so just for the experience of what it feels to perpetrate evil, they could do it just because someone has to for all this to work..." https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/lets-talk-about-villains-and-victims-c7795f2fa91e

and from my very first introduction to soul contracts, 10 minutes with a member of the spiritual staff (Mystical Meredith I dubbed her) at a substance abuse rehab, at the end of which 10 minutes I cried in front of her:

"Meredith explained that the conflict I felt ripping my gut apart was not between my conscious and subconscious but between my mind and my soul. Meredith’s conception of God, or as she put it, the Great All, and how we and our souls fit in, is that when our souls leave the Great All to take human form we contract with the universe to experience certain painful things on Earth that are not spiritual so we can learn what is spiritual (love, kindness, compassion, charity, etc.)"

Why was I crying?

"At that moment, I thought I cried from the emotional release of having realized a quest for understanding. The tears were more profound. A few months later, in Florida during the extended stay portion of my rehabilitation, I would wake before dawn and go running barefoot on the beach with the Moon, Venus, and the constellation Orion keeping me company — feeling connected to the universe would cause tears to flow.

Realization of connection to the universe — that is why I cried with Meredith.

Oneness."
