Spiritual Family

The concept of family is often understood only through the lens of blood relations - parents, ancestors, and relatives who form the lineage into which we are born. Yet from a spiritual perspective, the meaning of family extends far beyond biological ties. Human existence unfolds simultaneously within two interconnected systems: the bloodline family, which shapes our physical life, and the spiritual family, which accompanies our soul across lifetimes. We will now explore the difference between bloodline and spiritual families, the role they play in our lives, and the significance of the ancestral line we enter when we incarnate in the physical world.
What is “Family”?
Spiritual and Bloodline Family
There is a fundamental difference between a bloodline family and a spiritual family. They do not always coincide in a given lifetime or incarnation.
Family in the usual sense is the group of our living and deceased relatives. This is our bloodline family, into which we are born when entering the physical world.
A spiritual family refers to the collective of kindred souls with whom we share common interests, ideas, and understandings, and with whom we work and support each other in our evolutionary growth. We reunite with our spiritual family after leaving the physical world, when we return to the astral plane—that is, during the period between two incarnations, when we exist only as energy (spirit and soul).
It is important to note that most members of our spiritual family remain in a non-incarnated state, and usually only a small part of our soulmates may be incarnated at the same time as us in the present lifetime.
The importance of selecting a bloodline
If an individual has made a conscious choice prior to incarnation, they are typically able to reincarnate into a bloodline on the physical plane where some of their kindred souls from their spiritual lineage reside.
Such a person has previously worked out, developed, and ensured the opportunity to be among kindred souls who will be particularly helpful to them in their upcoming incarnation. They will create a suitable environment and, in one way or another, help them achieve their personal goals. In practice, meeting and spending our lives with kindred spirits is the best thing we can wish for in our material life.
On the contrary, in many cases, a person is in a hurry to reincarnate again in the physical world and does not carefully choose his family and ancestral environment.
There are many reasons behind such hasty reincarnations:
There are many reasons for such hasty reincarnations:
- a strong materialistic attitude - they cannot accept the idea that they can live without physical sensations and pleasures.
- refusal to accept and inability to adapt to the astral plane (rare, but there are such cases).
- strong attachment to the material world and loved ones, low level of awareness and evolutionary development.
- and others.
In such a situation, a person usually chooses a bloodline hastily and at random. As a result, they end up in one that does not include people from their spiritual family. Without kindred spirits to support them on their personal path of development, they may experience difficulties in their realization.
Depending on their level of awareness and development, such a person may:
- take an involutionary path instead of an evolutionary one, following the example and influence of their bloodline,
- lead a life that is ineffective in terms of their personal path and goals in this incarnation,
- or find a way to overcome and escape the influence of their environment.
Understanding the distinction between these two forms of family helps explain why some relationships feel deeply familiar and supportive, while others may challenge us or lead us in unexpected directions. It also sheds light on the choices a soul may make before incarnation, including the selection of a particular lineage and environment through which it will pursue its personal growth and evolution.
