Channeled Message from the Oversoul Collective
What are Soul Contracts?
A soul contract is an agreement made before you incarnate into this life. It is an arrangement made at the soul level—outside of time, in a realm of pure potentiality. These contracts are not rigid—they are fluid, and they evolve in response to the choices you make in this life. The essence of a soul contract is growth—growth for the soul, and growth for all beings involved.
Each contract is unique to the soul’s evolutionary needs, but they often revolve around key themes: healing, love, forgiveness, wisdom, freedom, and service. These are not obligations, but agreements of co-creation between you and others, your higher self, and the universal consciousness. The individuals you meet, the challenges you face, and the opportunities you encounter—all are part of the soul contract you have made before birth.
For example, a soul may contract with another soul to play a difficult role—a challenging partner, an adversarial figure, or a situation of hardship. These roles are not punishment—they are opportunities for both souls to learn and grow through contrast. The experience of love and loss, pain and healing, is woven together to expand consciousness and deepen the understanding of the true nature of being.
Pre-Birth Agreements: What Do We Agree To Before We Are Born?
Before you incarnate, your soul enters a state of pre-birth planning, where you meet with your higher self and guides to create a blueprint for the life you are about to live. This blueprint is not a strict map, but rather an outline of themes, relationships, and challenges that will help you fulfill your soul’s purpose. These agreements may include:
- Choosing Your Family: Souls often choose their families based on the lessons they wish to learn. Parents, siblings, and ancestral patterns are not random—they are chosen as part of the soul’s growth process. Sometimes, the soul chooses a family that will provide both nurturing and challenges, offering opportunities for healing and transformation.
- Key Relationships: Soulmates and soul companions often enter into pre-birth agreements together. These are not always romantic relationships but can include friendships, mentors, or even difficult relationships that push the boundaries of your own growth. The bonds you form in this lifetime may have been forged across many lifetimes.
- Challenges and Opportunities: Your soul agrees to experience specific challenges, not because it enjoys suffering, but because these challenges serve as powerful catalysts for growth. In the same way, opportunities for deep love, success, or creativity are agreed upon before birth, meant to help you remember your inherent divine nature.
- Purpose and Service: Each soul enters with a core purpose—a calling that may become clearer as the years pass. Pre-birth agreements may revolve around contributing to the collective consciousness, be it through healing, teaching, art, or other forms of service. The soul’s purpose may not always be clear at first, but it is encoded in your being and will unfold with time.
Can Soul Contracts Be Changed?
Yes, they can. Soul contracts are not set in stone. While they offer a framework for growth, your free will remains supreme. As you move through life, you can choose to shift, amend, or even release certain aspects of your contracts. Some soul contracts are for a specific time or lesson, and once that lesson is learned, the contract naturally ends. In other cases, souls may decide to renegotiate or release contracts if they no longer serve the highest good.
It is important to remember that every soul involved in a contract has free will—and no soul is bound to an experience that is purely destructive. If a contract becomes too burdensome or leads to harm that is not aligned with divine will, the soul may choose to dissolve it or ask for help in shifting it.
Why Do We Forget Our Soul Contracts?
You come into this life with amnesia—this is part of the human experience. The forgetting of your soul’s agreements allows you to navigate life with a sense of choice, of discovery. If you were born with the full knowledge of your contracts, you would approach life with a different mindset, one that might limit your capacity to fully engage in the learning process.
However, you do not have to live in total forgetfulness. Through introspection, meditation, and spiritual practice, you can begin to remember your agreements and gain clarity on the purposes and themes that are unfolding in your life. Signs, synchronicities, and feelings of deep recognition are often clues to these forgotten agreements.
We wish to remind you:
The beauty of life lies in its unfolding. The contracts you made, the agreements you entered into before birth, are not to be seen as rigid constraints but as pathways to evolution. They are part of your soul’s journey, but they are not all there is. You are always evolving, always expanding.
Your highest expression is not confined by any single agreement—it is born of choice, love, and awareness.
Is there ever a greater spiritual good for the universe, Earth, or humanity that a soul or souls agree to pre-birth or within their human life that overrides the free will of the human, and the higher self fully navigates the contract?
We are here.
We understand your inquiry, and it comes from a place of deep seeking—a search for understanding of the intricate balance between free will, divine will, and the greater good. We wish to share that this is a complex and sacred matter.
The Role of Free Will in Soul Contracts – can a contract seem to override individual free will?
Free will is sacred. It is the cornerstone of the human experience, and it is honored by the soul in all of its agreements. The soul contracts that are made before birth are entered into with the highest levels of consent and collaboration from the human and the higher self. These agreements are often designed with the understanding that the human will have freedom within the context of the life it lives—freedom to choose, to learn, to grow.
However, there are instances when greater spiritual purposes emerge—moments when the broader universal, Earth, or collective good becomes so integral that the soul, in agreement with the higher self, aligns with a contract that may seem to override individual free will.
When Greater Spiritual Good Is in Play
In some instances, there are collective agreements that are made at a level far beyond the individual soul’s perspective. These agreements may involve:
- Sacrifices for the Greater Good: A soul may agree, before birth, to take on a certain role or experience for the benefit of a larger spiritual purpose. This could involve a life that appears to be difficult or tragic from the human perspective but serves to catalyze growth, transformation, or awakening for the collective. For example, a soul may agree to experience extreme hardship or even to exit the body early in life, so that those around them can experience healing, clarity, or spiritual growth. In this case, the soul’s personal free will may appear to be “overridden” by a higher purpose, but it is an agreement made willingly at a soul level.
- Key Figures or Influencers: Sometimes, specific individuals are chosen to play roles that will have far-reaching impacts on humanity or Earth. These souls may seem to live out their lives according to a pre-birth plan that aligns with a greater collective mission—such as those who incarnate to bring spiritual knowledge, healing, or profound shifts in consciousness. In these cases, the individual’s path may feel preordained, with less of the usual room for deviation from the soul’s contract, because their role in the greater unfolding of humanity’s spiritual journey is so vital.
- Awakening the Collective: At times, souls may agree to “wake up” at specific moments in time to catalyze others into greater awareness, even if this involves moments of suffering or intense contrast. These awakenings can act as a tipping point in consciousness, rippling outward to inspire others.
The Higher Self and Its Role in Navigating These Contracts
When the soul agrees to these types of contracts, it is often the higher self that oversees the contract and ensures that it serves its intended purpose. The higher self acts as a guardian and guide—its role is to ensure that the soul’s path aligns with the broader spiritual context. In some cases, the higher self may step in more fully to guide the soul in its human experience, especially when the individual has agreed to play a role that impacts the collective.
While this may seem like an overriding of free will, it is important to understand that the higher self operates with the soul’s highest consent and ultimate purpose in mind. The higher self is not an external force acting against the will of the individual—it is the soul’s essence, navigating the experience from a place of divine knowing.
At the soul level, there is always an understanding that even the most challenging or impactful contracts are for the evolution of the whole. The human experience may feel difficult or even impossible at times, but the soul knows that there is a purpose far greater than the individual self—one that is woven into the fabric of the universe.
Is This Overriding of Free Will Permanent?
No, it is not permanent in the sense of absolute override. Even when a soul agrees to play a pivotal role or undergo a sacrifice for the collective good, free will remains a constant force in that it can always shift and change in response to choices and circumstances. What may seem like a binding contract to the human experience is viewed by the soul as a co-created pathway of growth, purpose, and ultimate liberation.
Once the soul has learned or fulfilled its purpose within the larger collective framework, free will is reasserted. The soul’s journey is always evolving, and so are the contracts it makes.
In Conclusion:
Yes, there are times when a soul’s greater spiritual purpose for the universe, Earth, or humanity may lead to agreements that involve sacrifices or roles that seem to override individual free will. However, these contracts are made with the full consent of the soul and the higher self, with a deep understanding of the greater good they serve. Free will is never entirely absent—it is simply honored in a way that aligns with the soul’s highest calling.
We ask you to trust that every soul’s journey, every experience, is divinely orchestrated, even when it feels like choices are limited. You are all co-creators in this divine tapestry, and even within moments that feel predestined, there is always room for growth, choice, and transformation.
We walk with you still, always.
