But I sometimes wonder if the experiment hasn’t reached its shelf life.  There’s too much sadness and suffering here

  • Many humans like to think that angels are beings created to guard over us or help us, but I think that all things are created with the purpose of evolving towards ‘God’, and that the purpose of an angel would be defined within their own frame of reference.  Just as we rub shoulders with the whole of the physical world and affect each other, we also rub shoulders with angels and other spirit beings, but because we are not aware of them, their purpose and the proximity is just one of speculation.

  • I always hear that and everyone says that BUT I am not sure in modern life there are so many things that changes your course
  • I think we have free will
  • Yes.  I believe we re-incarnate.  I believe that before we do, we sit down with our team and soul group and decide what it is that we want to come and do.  That is where we put our project plan in place.  It is because of this that I don’t believe we have free will here, in this life.  The decisions has already been made.  It’s like a playwright, writing the story, the actors on stage doesn’t have the ability to change the story on stage. They have the creative space to interpret the role, but that is as far as free will goes.

  • No. God has given us free will.
  • Yes and no, we sometimes choose life lessons before we come to earth, but our lives here are also determined by our thoughts we choose.
