“Why is it whenever a man is captured by a woman, all he wishes to do is get away?”
For those who don’t know, Pepé Le Pew is a flirtatious, charismatic French skunk Looney Tunes character who loves to sing and dreams of finding love. One day, he encounters Le Cat, or Penelope the Pussycat, all pink-ribboned and prancing along the sidewalk with her human. Pepé falls head over heels in love. He immediately sensed the cute little feline was meant to be in his life. And so began their rather intense, runner-chaser love story.
Le Pussycat was Pepé Le Pew’s most significant soul connection.
“The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.”
— Vanessa Bonta.
But what does that even mean?
Let’s imagine that your soul is a stream of consciousness incarnated here on Earth as multiple beings simultaneously. If that were the case, one aspect of yourself might be you, reading this article right now, while another part of yourself, incarnated in being, is entirely elsewhere in the world.
It sounds like a radical concept. If not a tad ultra-woo-woo. And while I don’t claim to be a Zen guru or a spiritual anything, in particular, I do know enough about mystical encounters and sacred moments to realize that there is so much more to us than our physical selves that are unmapped, divine, belonging to unseen realms. We are far from clumps of flesh and blood.
As far as our souls incarnating simultaneously, during his research, Dr. Michael Newton made some ground-breaking discoveries that reveal the mystery of life in the spirit world after death, including the soul incarnating in more than one body concurrently.
It’s fascinating stuff.
What’s more enthralling is that it’s very probable that your most significant soul connection relationship is essentially another aspect of you incarnated in another.
This concept explains why Pepé Le Pew recognized an immediate feeling of oneness and of coming home when he rendezvoused with Le Pussycat, because “oneness and home” is a feeling energetically closer to you when you encounter your own soul.
Make sense?
Now, I think it’s crucial to mention that Pepé was clearly attuned to universal energy before encountering Le Pussycat. He loved to sing and dance, and he was joyous and in love with life itself which means that he was in a state of appreciation and therefore had released resistance, especially to himself. So, Pepé was in a state of alignment — open to receiving universal truths.
His counterpart was less attuned to universal energy and more entrenched in the dense, 3D matrix reality and all it encompasses. Like, society and its far-reaching effect put conditions on love (a skunk and a pussycat? My goodness!) and shape our belief systems, values, and behavior. Le Pussycat held resistance, especially to herself. She is primarily unaware and out of alignment with receiving universal truths.
Still, Le Pussycat is insatiably attracted to Pepé.
We know this because there were times when she showed and reciprocated the same affection and love back to Pepé Le Pew. Just like our profound soul relationships, whether Le cat consciously realized it or not, she was closer to the truth of oneness and home when she was with her soul counterpart. At least, that’s my take on these two animated characters, and I’m sticking to it to make my point in this piece.
For me, their dynamic represents love as a kind of madness with two opposing instincts: We possess the desire to merge with our most significant soul connection while simultaneously needing to remain an individual.
Both are essential.
Because we tend to become immersed in our intense feelings and feel a magnetic draw to attach ourselves to each other. It’s the urge to merge, baby. The sense of being completed by someone actually recognizes yourself in the other.
It’s a love connection about souls.
To clarify, here are just some of the attributes that go along with a significant soul relationship:
You may dream or have visions about them before they enter your life.
You have a deep and internal knowing that they are your destiny.
Meeting your partner may feel like coming home to familiar, long-lost energy.
After encountering them, you may have memories of other times and places with that person that are not a part of this life experience.
You mirror each other’s issues, concerns, and imbalances and compliment each other’s skill sets, talents, and capacities.
You are the ultimate embodiment of Yin Yang.
You may be of different ages, the same sex, or have contrasting backgrounds, opposing religions, or cultures. Still, you feel an incredible unity or fantastic sense of oneness with this person.
You sense each other’s illnesses and emotions even when far apart or not in communication.
Your functioning may be impaired or less optimal when you are apart from your significant soul person.
And it physically, mentally, and spiritually hurts when you’re not together, like trying to hold apart a high-powered magnet.
When you are together, you are more powerful and more capable than you’ve ever felt. You feel united on a mission or a higher calling, serving each other and the world in unconditional love because your most significant soul relationship is a love channel through which you see the truth. They are the carrier messenger of the Divine, an ever-expanding vessel that carries love.
This is a journey for attaining oneness through duality via higher states of giving, discovery, acceptance, abundance, and awareness.
Here’s the paradox:
If you are in a profoundly resistant vibration and out of alignment, like Le Pussycat, the same positive feelings a significant soul relationship elicits in you can certainly cause a tsunami of internal warfare and triggering.
How come?
When powerfully strong desire and intent are present, as there always is when it comes to your most significant soul relationship, the friction will be palpable. So, when you or your soul person focuses on the other negatively in any way, that causes you to hold yourself in resistance to each other.
To be clear, resisting such a profound connection means you’ll be going so against the current of the stream of consciousness within the both of you that it’ll be like attempting to hold a high-powered magnet apart.
The result of this discord causes great pain and suffering.
Enter Le Pussycat, who spends most of her time running from a lovestruck Pepé. He pushes her buttons, triggers inner wounds, and frequently tests her. She doesn’t understand why and how much he loves her. She may harbor a fear of not being loved and abandoned. Or face the challenge of overcoming fear and accepting that she is worthy of deep love. He isn’t a cat. Instead, he is a threat to the status quo, and most of society favors consistency and tends to actively discourage cats and skunks from uniting in love. And, well, he emits an offensive stench now and then.
So, she runs.
Whoever said that love should be conditioned on your similarities, anyway?
If you ask me, I think the challenges of such profound soul relationships exist to call each other into becoming the highest version of ourselves. And to bring us closer to universal truths.
With all that said, let’s circle back to the start — How to catch your most significant soul relationship.
The short answer is:
No one on this Earth catches a whiff of and then keeps their most significant soul relationship in any other way than on the heels of a dramatic shift in their relationship with themselves in some manner or form –
A dramatic improvement in the way they treat themselves.
A dramatic improvement in their idea of their self-worth.
A dramatic improvement in their level of commitment to inner peace, compassion, and happiness.
A dramatic improvement in doing the inner work and leveling up self-awareness to come into a state of alignment — open to receiving universal truths and unconditional love.
As for the Pepé Le Pews and Le Cats out there already on voyaging journey of souls, I’ll remind you of what Carl Jung once said;
“What we resist not only persists but will grow in size.”
Love with the fire of a thousand suns, erupting into the reaches of all existence, alighting, setting the world aflame with the kind of transformation that turns the temporal into the eternal.
Here’s to Pepé Le Pew and Le cat.
...and how does one recognize what they do not understand? (the question is not for me)
Wow. How you you find what you do not understand?
