Life is long. At least it can be for those that have active, healthy lives and are not plagued by illness. You are born, you live and then you die. There is a purpose, but what is it?

Most of you go through your lives living through various ups and downs, various experiences, without questioning the purpose too much. You were born, you are living, and one day each of you will die, but there is more to life if you look below the surface. You live your lives for a reason. Your life begins as an idea, formed here sitting in the place I call home. Your spirit makes the decision to incarnate and once that decision is made you must then decide how you will live your life. You’ll decide on your parents, your children, who you will marry, if you will marry and so on. Your health is mainly decided by the body you chose to incarnate within, but of course it can also be influenced by the healthiness of your lifestyle. It all feels rather contrived when you look at it this way, but of course it isn’t. Life feels unpredictable. One minute you are gliding along happily and the next something happens that can knock you off kilter. It may be the sudden death of a loved one, a serious illness or in fact any unexpected major event. In actual fact, you will have chosen to live through that experience before you entered your physical body. This is hard to believe, I know. Why would you choose such pain and suffering? Why would a person choose to live through a war situation or other traumatic situation? It is not hard for me to understand, as I am here and know how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. You choose to experience hardships in order that your spirit grows and develops. Why would you want this to happen? The more your spirit or soul (or however you want to refer to it) grows and develops, the more you can see, hear and feel. A young spirit has a limited depth of understanding here with me, but as a spirit evolves its depth of vision, of understanding, of many things only I can see, and feel, will grow. In their own way, spirits are born, and then live side-by-side in complete and utter harmony here with me. A spirit will then choose, on occasions, to incarnate to increase its depth of understanding and development. Of course, there are other ways for a spirit to develop, but incarnating into a physical body with you on your earthly plane is just one of those ways.
