Agreements & External Monads

Agreements

Along with the pre-incarnational selection of overleaves, choice of parents, and the life task, a variety of different agreements are often arranged with the people you may come into contact with during a lifetime. Since it's impossible to know ahead of time how a life will unfold or what idiosyncrasies a personality will develop during that lifetime, agreements are non-binding and subject to change. At times they are even discarded altogether.

Once the incarnation has begun, the passage of life can considerably alter the personality of a person and make them undesirable to another soul. Thus, some agreements will be impossible to implement. Pre-incarnational agendas often include 5-10 mate agreements, for example, in order to ensure the best possible chance of success.

Naturally, there is a compelling urge to fulfill agreements with those you meet, and expectations can be high. The intensity of an agreement is not as compelling as a karmic agreement, however, which feverishly brings two people together into an intense passion play until the karma is resolved.

Not all agreements are intended to last for a lifetime, such as the teacher-student or rescuer-rescued monads, and when the agreement is considered 75% complete, both parties will begin to feel satisfied that the agreement has been finished. Abdication of an agreement before it has been completed will usually result in frustration and anger. Though, breaking an agreement is not karmic, in most cases, and it rightfully grants the necessity of freedom of choice to the people involved.

External Monads

The external monads are arranged between two people in order to have a specific learning experience. There are many different kinds of monads, some created specifically for unique circumstances. Michael channel JP Van Hulle wrote that there are 30 classic patterns typically experienced, and they are briefly summarized below.

Mate Agreement (Marriage or Husband-Wife)
A long-term relationship with another person that involves the lessons typically associated with being mated.
Parent-Child
A bonding relationship that explores all aspects of the relationship. Not all parents have this monad with their children.
Sibling Monad
A bonding relationship that explores all aspects of being brother-sister, brother-brother, and so forth. If there is a monad the relationship is usually prominent throughout the lifetime.
Teacher-Student
One person teaches another something that is either life changing, or that helps them find the appropriate path in life.
Attacker-Victim
This monad is wide in scope and can range in intensity from verbal attack, to rape or murder.
Love Monad
Both souls have experienced the major monads together and are now free to explore agape together. Rare.
