This is the Lords of Light talking to you about the Soul.
When a Soul incarnates it is for a very specific purpose. No Soul incarnates without a purpose – it is all planned beforehand, where that person will be born and to what parents. The siblings, extended family and friends are planned too. Then all the dynamics are played out.
It is necessary for the Soul to have ‘forgotten’ everything that happened before being born so the life can be lived without the knowledge of previous incarnations and of the planning before each life. As there are laws within each society there are also Universal laws. One of the Laws is that each Soul has the opportunity to fulfil a purpose in each lifetime.
Often, when a person incarnates, they cannot achieve that purpose. But no matter, they will have another opportunity in the next or subsequent lifetime.
As a lifetime progresses it should be increasingly obvious why certain people are around them and what they need to learn. Life is all about Loving and Giving. So, if someone is inward looking and only really caring about themselves, then they will not be able to see how their actions affect others. This is an egotistical way of living which is not conducive to moving forward in an evolutionary sense.
