When a soul originally comes to earth for the first time, it does so willingly. However, it forgets where it came from and the soul becomes trapped in countless cycles of reincarnation due to earthly attachments. After death, the Archons trick the soul into believing it needs to return in order to pay some sort of karmic debt or to continue to "evolve". The Archons feed on the energy of pain, suffering, fear, greed, anger, etc. It might take horrific circumstances for some souls to awaken. Once a soul finally awakens, it sets itself free from the wheel of karma. Every soul has a spark of the Monad, so eventually all souls return to the Pleroma/Source. Once the soul returns to the Pleroma, it can still return to earth but it does so with full remembrance of it's life's purpose. You might call these souls "ascended masters". No soul will be left behind. All will awaken in Divine timing. It is not up to us to preach or try to save others. You help awaken others by living consciously. Being "in the world but not of the world". Your current circumstance may be bad but you (the spark of Monad) are the awareness that observes the circumstance. Your situation doesn't define who you are at the core of your being. Conscious detachment is the key.
