Reincarnation
How We Choose Our Life's Work
Once back on earth, each soul is at the epicenter of its own ripple effect, creating currents of positive shifts that will impact fellow travelers at the level of which it is capable.
When a soul in heaven wants to improve itself, how does it go about the transition process?
The two biggest decisions a soul has to make involve his life's purpose and the emotional issues he plans to resolve. Those two dynamics comprise the foundation of his spiritual blueprint. Only after he has chosen his life's work and the emotional issues he will attempt to address does he consider all of the other details of his life's path that will allow him to accomplish as much as possible during his time on the earthly plane.
Every human being on the earthly plane has planned a specific life's work, including you! But how does one go about making such an important decision? Souls typically gravitate toward the type of work for which they've had an affinity in prior earthly lifetimes. The life's work we choose is certain to result in spiritual, emotional, and mental fulfillment; and, stating the obvious, a soul would never choose a kind of work that he would not be successful in achieving. When I conduct private sessions, clients ask about the nature of their life's work more than any other question. When I reveal specifics about what they are here on the earthly plane to accomplish, often the individual will gasp and respond, "What! Can I do that? I'd love to, but I don't know if I'm capable!"
What's more, a soul often continues to choose the same kind of life's purpose again and again; only the method by which it conducts the work will shift from lifetime to lifetime.
For example, a soul that enjoys healing may have worked as a doctor in the Middle Ages healing victims of the plague with flower essences; then, returned for another earthly lifetime to work as a doctor in colonial America healing victims of smallpox with leeches; followed by a lifetime as a surgeon operating on soldiers from the front lines in WWI; and who, in the present day, works as an orthopedic surgeon in modern-day London, devoting his time to replacing arthritic hips and knees with technologically-advanced prosthesis joints.
Souls that gravitate toward the performing and creative arts may have been a poet in the time of Jesus; an actor performing Shakespeare in the Middle Ages; an artist during the Renaissance; then an opera singer in the 1800's; and now an author of children's books.
Other souls may have an affinity for public service. A soul could have chosen to be a diplomat during the reign of Elizabeth I; a sympathetic judge during the Spanish Inquisition; an activist working to free the slaves in antebellum America; an inventor during the Industrial Revolution; and now, a Member of Parliament fighting for funds to feed the poor.
An intrepid ship's captain who sailed a merchant vessel on uncharted seas to transport silks, spices, and precious stones during the Middle Ages may now be a helicopter pilot who ferries donated organs to medical centers for lifesaving transplants.
There are other souls that love to work with the soil as farmers, ranchers, cattlemen, or who own vineyards filled with grapes or olives while they are residing on the earthly plane.
Individuals who enjoy the military often repeat those experiences. General George S. Patton believed that he had past lifetimes on earth as a soldier and spoke openly about it. Perhaps that is why he so fearlessly prevailed during World War II -- since developing combat strategies was so familiar to him?
Athletic ability is also echoed from life to life. An individual who participated in the early Olympic Games could have been reborn as an Olympian in other incarnations. Perhaps some of the professional athletes today have followed these patterns in past earthly lives?
Typically, a soul will choose a kind of life's purpose that will allow it to carry on from where it left off in a prior life, seeking to make a mark on the earthly plane and leaving it a better place.
In this regard, a soul revisiting earth may choose to raise a family and remain in the same community in which it was born for an entire lifetime, or, it could decide to impact the world at large, creating a ripple effect of positive change that transcends political philosophies, geographic borders, and religious beliefs...like a Mother Theresa, Helen Keller, Michelangelo, Thomas Edison, Clara Barton, or Alexander Fleming.
Regardless of the size of the impact it plans to make while on earth, each soul has the same opportunity to develop greater wisdom, maturity, and enlightenment so that its time on earth is wisely invested for itself...and others!
