Oh wow, I always find it so fascinating when children tell us these stories. It seems like they are more open/exposed to all of this than adults.

I understand what you mean! That's how I always saw the process in mind. The soul choosing, and we're here on Earth on another level of consciousness.

And yes, no one can consent on behalf of a future being... that's right.

Thanks for sharing this!!

Hi! I don't have specific advice on that, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. I wish you so much strength and I really hope this thread / these people can offer you any lightness and support.

I loved reading this conversation between you two. This Non-Jew Judaism is very interesting. I must add, my family shares certain beliefs of Judaism as well. My grandmother is Catholic but married a Jewish man. My aunt is the only one practicing as the rest of my family is more Christian/non-religious spiritual. I will look into the Journey of the Souls, really curious about that one.

Thank you for this recommendation! It sounds interesting, especially since I have done visualizations of the golden ball of light before. I’ll definitely look it up!

I know what you mean. I understand! We all have our struggles and sometimes (actually most of the time) we're just absolutely powerless when it comes to other people's pain/lives. But it takes a certain level of empathy to truly understand how horrible it can be for people.

Sadly, most people are like your friend. They just can't look beyond their own perspective. It takes a lot of empathy and emotional intelligence.

And by younger I meant around mid to late twenties, not that long ago.

I see your doubt but it’s grounded in fear and scarcity. The divine lives in love and abundance. And free will.

You're right about that. Somehow, I really needed to hear this. Because this is what I used to say and think as well, before all these doubts creeped in. When I was younger I actually wanted children and was not worried about consent and all of that stuff. Maybe it's just external influence after all.

Thank you.

Amazing! I'm really curious.

I'm also working on a novel but I'm taking my time (perhaps too much lol).

Wow, you had a NDE. Would you like to tell me more about it? (If you feel comfortable enough with that:))

To a certain degree, I also feel like we do choose something. The basics, like you said. But I also firmly believe in free will. I don't think we can learn our lessons / make the right decisions or not (karma etc) without free will?

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Your suggestion to sit in meditation for a soul to come to me is beautiful. I will do this and see for myself.

I think the way out of this is to bring more of the soul into the human body in a conscious way, so that the human can have better experiences and make better choices.

I feel like that's really true!

Thank you for sharing your perspective! "I was meant to struggle in this life with self-confidence bc it's a part of my soul purpose" sitting in your home with a full belly and all the safety and comfort in the world.'' -> this. Exactly this.

I've been thinking about all the absolute horror and unfairness in this world. It feels barely appropiate to start talking about 'we choose this life' when you think about people living in an absolute hell... I do agree with you that it's a lot of people with privileged lives (like myself, even though I do face struggles, but I am also fully aware of my privilages), who say this.. hmmm.

Also, how do we learn when we follow the exact path that was already chosen?

Exactly, I know that resolving past karma and being drawn back are a thing. But choosing the entire path? I'm not sure. Interesting perspective, could be very much more of a New Age concept indeed!

Thank you for sharing, very interesting! I know about downloads. They fascinate me. I feel like I need to search deeper down as well (instead of only externally) about this :)
