What's the purpose of our existence? Is there a chosen plan for our lives, or are we just here by a random act of evolution and nature? These are just a few questions which dominates some minds on a daily basis. The answer to all of these questions evolves around the soul.
The Purpose of the Soul
Our existence on this dimension is all about what we chose to experience in this life. We incarnate on this world with "life themes" that we have chosen for ourselves to experience and overcome. This dimension can teach many lessons as negativity beats like a bass drum as it sends out these vibrations to anyone who accepts them. This dimension has been called "the wastelands" a rehabilitation dimension for those who choose it.
Living with negativity is something which is almost impossible to do for some, while others seem to flourish in its shadow. Our third dimensional ego plays a big part in the learning and growth we experience as we exist on this dimension.
The Ego
The ego thrives on our never-ending thoughts of failure and regret. The ego is also a tool which we need to survive, but can also become overactive and dominate the mind. An over active ego keeps the mind busy living in the past with our failures, or worrying about what "may" happen in the future.
This destructive emotional behavior can sometimes rule the mind as we go on with our daily existence. Just getting past this third dimensional existence is one which could take several lifetimes to achieve for the evolution of the soul.
Each existence we experience is another step towards our soul's ascension. Each level of existence teaches us valuable lessons which can only be taught on that particular incarnation. Every soul picks out lessons in each lifetime which are to be overcome for our spiritual growth.
Spiritual Growth
These lessons are like stepping stones as we make our way across the treacherous stream of life. The trick is to not miss any of these stones along the way, and to remain in the middle of the stream of life: balanced emotions.
Every time you lose your balance, you're swept into the stream and drawn into one emotional bank or the other. So now you have to begin the journey all over again. Being "mentally conscious" helps to avoid these missed experiences in life.
Part of our existence is about the "experiencing of God." We're all part of God, and what we experience God experiences also. This is partly why the soul was created in the first place; to experience, and then to evolve back into the spirit form of God.
Some souls get caught in the river of life, and keep repeating each lifetime over and over until they've overcome what they chose to experience on that particular existence. If we remembered everything which was experienced in each lifetime, the soul would be overshadowed by these thoughts and "this" existence would be needless.
Ascension
Each existence you experience is like a long staircase with lifetimes of steps to climb. If any steps are missed along the way, each missed step may have to be repeated. As you ascend the emotional staircase, you evolve spiritually and grow closer to the spirit form of God.
After the soul has experienced what it set out to experience, it then merges with God. All of this is "your" choice if you merge with God in the end, or you continue to experience and grow in the never-ending consciousness of the soul.
