Reply #124: Yes we chose all of this, what were we thinking :(

It sounded so good in the spirit world I am sure, and we just knew
it would be a piece of cake. Agh, did we find out different.

From everything I have read, we have free will. We do not have to come back again if we do not want to. This is our choice. But Earth is supposed to be an excellent school and many want to come here to learn the lessons that can only be learned here. This is a hard physical and mental world and is supposed to produce tough, resilient, independent souls. We can evolve elsewhere but it takes a lot more time. And if we want to obtain certain levels or positions in the spirit world we need good training.

And I think that spirit guides strongly encourage us to continue with our training and evolution but we are not forced to do so.

And no I do not think Bush is an advanced soul. He is an old soul, he has been around for many many lifetimes, but he is one that just cannot get it right. He and his father and brothers were supposed to be the leaders who blew up Atlantis, and I don't think he has made much progress since then.

And while I agree that trying to guess a soul's level is tricky I think it can be done in some general terms using the Green model.
