This is Patrick.
When a Soul incarnates to the Earth plane it is for the purpose of completing lessons, if possible, that were planned before birth. The lessons that were not fully learnt/experienced are given again in a subsequent life.
You have learnt that Souls who have had Spiritual lives before, with great Teachers, incarnate to be with a Teacher again in order to assist with the Spiritual Evolution at that time. It is always necessary that these Teachers have support from elevated Souls to do their important Work.
The idea is to bring, as far as possible, simplicity into people’s lives. Then to guide those who have incarnated for that purpose – to take them on their Spiritual Quest to Enlightenment.
Because of ideas of Connectedness between other Planetary systems and Galaxies is a relatively new idea then people have not understood that Spiritual Evolution is only part of the story! It is absolutely necessary for the inhabitants of the Earth to become more Spiritually elevated so that where they live will become ‘whole’ again.
That ‘wholeness’ will affect the Cosmos in a very positive way in that the Connections already made by members of your group will be made stronger.
There are more sightings of extraterrestrials who are coming to view the Earth to check on the progress of the Connections. The sooner there is a widespread belief that the Earth’s inhabitants are not alone in the Universe- the better!
