Soul Choices and the Spiral of Evolution

On many levels the soul doesn’t give us choices as it knows that we need to experience regardless of our mental reservations and so designs the physical, astral, emotional and mental bodies that together will make up the appropriate vehicle for the required earthly existence. These bodies cause us to attract the experiences we need without our conscious consent as the soul knows that although it may take many lifetimes, in the long run, the suffering that we have endured in order to learn our lessons will be far outweighed by the boost in consciousness that we will experience. This is why suffering fades in the memory and that which doesn’t can be dealt with later via our healing cycles whilst our advances in consciousness achieved during Earth plane existence endure from incarnation to incarnation because they are stored in what is referred to as the “permanent atom” which is a dimension of our soul. This dimension can be easily re-stimulated once we have reached sufficient physical, emotional and mental maturity to handle such a reawakening in our subsequent incarnations. This is why so much of our subjective learning is punctuated by the “Aha!” experience as we bring back to consciousness some of the truth which is already stored deep within ourselves.

All evolution occurs in a cyclical fashion, spiraling to a point of completion wherein the soul is finally satisfied. Between each incarnation we have a period of rest before the desire for expansion becomes strong once more, pulling us towards every experience, physical, spiritual and emotional until finally we reach ultimate enlightenment, releasing us from the need for physical expression.

Any episode involves the following formula:

Expression, Experience, Expansion

and an episode may take place within one lifetime or may extend over many before real awareness which leads to healing is attained. A spiritual wound is any condition that causes us deep and enduring emotional distress, regardless of how the same circumstances might affect any one else. Wounds may be based on internal or external factors and may be inflicted on us by others, or by Fate; the condition may be permanent or may be something that can be eased or even erased over time, however in almost every case we feel that our wound is unfair and/or undeserved, though our experience will be very different, depending upon what stages we are at in our healing. Fixing or repairing our wounds is not really our goal in the long term scheme of things…it is the expansion of consciousness that results from working through such wounds that truly moves us forward in our spiritual evolution.
