• What happens to the spirits who do not belong to the Plan of Salvation and are being prepared for incarnation? Are they subjected to this separation with their consent, without their consent, or in what way are they prepared?
In this teaching from the Pathwork Guide, we explore how incarnation is not random but part of a carefully guided process rooted in free will and spiritual law.
Before entering a new life, each soul participates—sometimes consciously—in choosing conditions that support its growth, with guidance from more advanced beings. While many choices are honored, some are adjusted when they would hinder development or violate deeper laws.
This episode also reveals how our attitude toward life may reflect these pre-birth decisions. A strong life force often indicates willingness to incarnate, while resistance to life can point to reluctance or misunderstanding.
Ultimately, every life situation is meaningful, shaped by past choices and designed to support evolution. The deeper insight: life is not something happening to us—it is something we have, in part, chosen for the sake of growth.
