Spirit has an identity much greater than the
identity of the body.
The eternal spirit incarnates as a soul in a
body to learn lessons of soul evolution. The
learning, evolving soul has to come on Earth
for a direct contact with negativity. Negative
energies cannot be experienced in the spiritual
dimension. The soul attends theoretical
classes in celestial dimensions about the kinds
of energies it has to master to channelize
creation in physical dimensions. Then, it
comes to Earth to apply that knowledge.
In the physical dimension, viz. Earth, the soul
has to create happiness in a given frame of
circumstances. The purpose of incarnating in
a physical body is to learn how to create in the
physical realm within limits of time and space.
The soul in a human body has a finite life,
unlike the eternal spirit. The soul tries to
create within a specified time whatever it
desires to be happy. By experiencing
happiness, its energy frequency becomes
higher, when the soul is able to attain its level of soul evolution.
Earth is like a school for the soul where each
life is an exam. The soul has to evolve to a
higher positive frequency in order to pass the
exam within a specific time viz. a life time. If
the soul fails to create happiness within its life-
time, it has to repeat the test. The soul lives a
number of life-times wherein
it tries to create happiness by overcoming gra
dations of difficulties. The soul can rise to a
higher grade and evolve to a different life-plan
when it clears one level of tests by passing
that stage of soul evolution.
If the person dies feeling negative, for
whatever reason, the soul cannot reach a
higher dimension of positivity and has to
repeat the test through living another life with
similar level of difficulties.
It does not matter whether the soul is
successful or not in Earthly terms, as the soul
has to feel happy in its inner being to pass its
tests of soul evolution. Only an ever rising
level of happiness and peace indicate that the
soul is successfully attaining a brighter
positive energy frequency and is in alignment
with its plan of soul evolution. If our soul gets
stuck in following conventional beliefs, it may
sacrifice its true happiness in order to attain
success in ways which help spread negativity
on Earth, more than happiness.
