The concept of Soul Contracts is a Red Flag.

The idea of Soul Contracts are making the rounds in spiritual circles again. Soul Contracts are the belief that before you were born, your created a plan for your life and signed a contract to have certain experiences. That in it’s self doesn’t sound too bad. The problem is that this belief is used to Victim Blame and remove accountability from abusers.
This belief pushes the idea that you wanted all the abuse, you asked for it, you agreed to it before you were born. No one is responsible but you. This is complete bullshit. People are responsible for their own actions.
You, your soul, is a being of love. Abuse is not love. No matter how hard our current society tries to convince us otherwise. You did not come here to receive or give abuse.
The idea of Soul Contracts holds us in patterns of abuse. They disempower us, keep us complicit in our own harm. They make it easy for abusive people to excuse their behavior and stunt their own healing processes.
People who support this idea support abuse/abusers and are usually abusers themselves. The are benefiting in some way from keeping other people operating in a system of fear.
