Soon after our channeled consultations started, Rama pointed out to me that there would be times when the needs of my soul and the needs of my human/animus would conflict.

In one of my early Medium essays, https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/eternal-soul-properly-defined-fe7a93e534f8, I came up with, "I recently discerned there is a yin and yang to life’s purpose. There are human wants and soul wants. A life will be harmonious when those two are aligned. Life’s purpose is to learn and one aspect is learning how to satisfy the human wants while not offending the soul’s spirituality. This is not a linear process. Alignment can be achieved, and to varying degrees, lost and regained throughout a lifetime. The search for Self is more than seeking alignment. It is seeking the role for which one is destined."
