  « I am looking for. I'm looking for an explanation for earthly life. Children are constantly being born, learning, working hard to fully develop their bodies and minds - and after a relatively short time, everything is consumed: they are given to earthworms. What meaning can that have?

 The Bible says:  
"Seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."

 I obey! I started looking everywhere. In books, ancient manuscripts, with people who seem enlightened.

 (...) And I found! Here and there, my inner hearing recognized the voice of truth in the words of a book or the words of a person. »

 « She [Mother Teresa] keeps repeating that we are here to learn to love, nothing else. »

The WAY, LOVE, LIFE ou DEATH

Through this long and often painful immersion in materiality that it imposed on itself, our soul wanted to get closer to the Source. By developing Love, in her and throughout the world.

 Raising our level of consciousness.

 « The origin is non-consciousness, final goal is consciousness☆ Excerpt from the page: "The awakening" :

The unconscious go through existence in a semi-sleep. They ignore that difficulties constitute the reason for life.
Fundamentally just, these disturbing events are there to forge us, wake us up or consolidate us. Their intensity depends on the depth of our sleep and what we are able to bear.

Those who cling to their dreams, life lets them sleep.

What is awakening?

  The task of the animal is centered on itself.
  He only enjoys what is his.
  Its air, its food, its child.

  It's (must be) just the opposite in humans.
 [ Dialogues with the Angel ]

In a state of non-awakening, we give our attention only to our person and to what revolves around it.

« The world is in the state it is in because it is full of sleepwalkers. »
[ Arnaud Desjardins, 'The paths of wisdom' ]

« The men who are still sleeping each live in a different world; those who have awakened all live in the same world. »

This ancestral profession of faith of the Australian Aborigines sums up the reason for our presence on Earth and gives the reason for the incomprehensible difficulties that punctuate our lives.

The realization of our being

The goal of existence is to pass
from the navel-gazing stage to self-abstraction.
We understand that one life cannot be enough
☆ Excerpt from the page: "Why life" :

 The progression of the human soul

Every soul starts from the bottom of the ladder.
From instinct to consciousness, it rises.
From the satisfaction of her desires to the happiness of giving, she rises.
And the path is long and marked with suffering.

 « If different minds conceive such different truths, it is because evolution is not the same in everyone. »
(Gandhi)📗

 « The Spirit, like man, also has its childhood.
At their origin, the Spirits have only an instinctive existence and are barely aware of themselves and their actions. »
[Message collected by Allan Kardec]

 « If you don't feel ready to forgive someone's actions, at least forgive the person. (Tell yourself that his still animal conscience is not awake, but that his soul is nonetheless a reflection of God). »
[Doreen Virtue, "Communicating with Angels"]

« Every soul must become aware of itself little by little.

 In evolution, the mineral will become vegetable, the vegetable will become animal and the animal will become human. It is the long chain of life. »
(Hélène Bouvier, medium, "Mission of souls in the afterlife")📗

 « The purpose of our life during our passage on Earth, then after our death, in the various worlds of the beyond, is an increasingly complete realization of our being. »
[ Patricia Darré (medium) ]

 « The important thing for you is to evolve in order to modify your vibrational state.

- And what is according to your views, the purpose of our life?

 « Amassing experiences. Man asks more of life than living it and food. Some consider themselves satisfied when they have ensured their external well-being; but most yearn for something more. Behind their actions and gestures, there is an ideal. »

(Henry Ford)📗

 « The soul-personality must become aware of itself. In reality, there is no other reason for the human presence on earth. All circumstances, all emotions, all experiences are aimed at this one end.
 Follow Jesus' advice: "Seek first the kingdom of God (in other words, progress towards knowledge) and everything else will be added to you." »
[ R. Bernard, Grand Master of the Rose Croix ]

 « It is certainly urgent for man to eat, but love and the meaning of life and the taste of God are more important. I do not have to know whether or not man will be happy, prosperous and conveniently sheltered, but which man will be prosperous, sheltered and happy. »

Therefore, all the Texts agree that
  
we are on Earth to evolve.

But why do we need to evolve?

To transcend our original instincts.

 « Each experience of life makes us live trials during which it is easy to fall into the trap of our impulses, thus highlighting our imperfections one by one.

 Most of us walk unconsciously, unconcerned with our thoughts or actions, until we are faced with a trial. »
[ Alain Joseph Bellet ]
 « We must dominate the animal side of our nature. » ( Gandhi )

We see it every day: people do not hesitate to lie, cheat or steal to achieve their ends. The excuses are there, all ready: you have to live well, get by, it's every man for himself...

Why is this so?
Because  « The Spirit, like man, also has its childhood.
At their origin, the Spirits have only an instinctive existence and are barely aware of themselves and their acts. »
[Message collected by Allan Kardec]

An important message for those who want to understand:
 - Why did one love you so much and show you so much kindness while the other bullied you?
- Because my grandfather had paid his debts☆We have debts to pay. If we don't honour them, they reappear in the next life... until they are paid. We progress by paying our debts.
 Souls decide when to return to the earth plane. They also choose how they will pay off their debts. To do this, they decide what they will take with them into the next life... a dominant trait, for example greed or sensuality, but which is necessary for them to pay their debts and which they must overcome.
 Unpaid debts accumulate from one lifetime to the next. Pay them off, and life will become easy. You will choose it; you will become responsible for it.
. He had learned to live. My father hadn't. He had returned to earth... without having understood anything. He'll have to come back again.
 "He must learn to love, to care for others. When you don't understand this, you treat children like your property and not like creatures worthy of love."

 - Your grandfather already knew that....
 - Yes. We have so many steps to go through when we live on the physical plane.
[ Exchange between Dr Brian Weiss and a patient under hypnosis ]

We must therefore evolve. But how?

How can we overcome this selfishness rooted in us and which often dominates us?

On earth, man must reconcile his obligations
      and why he's really there.
The problem is that too often the first task completely overshadows the second. He needs money to live, but he wants to amass more and more; he needs a roof over his head, but he wants the biggest and most beautiful house, or even several; the same for moving around, eating, dressing...
His abandoned soul then has no other solution than to stop him in this mind-boggling race. And his choice is vast: illness, accident, old age, loneliness...

 « Sometimes it takes a disaster or misfortune to pull us out of our lethargy. »
 [ "Annaëlle Chimoni's book" ]

 « If we are not ready to question ourselves or change our habits, life always ends up reminding us of it and opening our eyes: illness, death, the deterioration of objects, everything we see, all what we touch is bound to disappear. »
[ Patricia Darré (medium) ]

What conclusion?

 « If you feel like you are being stopped in the course of your daily life, consider that moment blessed. »
[ Message collected by Maguy Lebrun ]

The trials which “thwart” our life, should neither be refused nor avoided, but welcome as a lesson.

 « Yes, life sometimes makes us go through difficult trials, but I am certain that it is not for nothing; that these difficulties make sense. They allow us to become better. And we are born with the tools to deal with it. »

 « Be careful, the earth is our stage of imperfection where we are left to our own devices. »

 (...) We must evolve in our personal relationships, favor love , honesty, patience and renunciation.

 (...) We have several lives, and we come back to earth to evolve spiritually. »

What if I don't want to evolve, if I just want to live?

 « You ask the question: why continue? (to suffer to raise our level of consciousness)

 The reason is ridiculously simple: THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO.

 The only question is: will you do it consciously or unconsciously?

 Because you don't have to ask yourself why embark on such a journey. You have already started it.

 For most of your life, you lived the effects of your experiences (often negative effects that you didn't understand, and attributed them to God or bad luck).

 I invite you to pursue your life consciously. You would then no longer live your life as if it had no meaning, but knowing that it has the purpose you give it.

Karma is a Sanskrit word for fate. It is sometimes evoked during dramas that seem incomprehensible and unfair, but it can manifest itself in pleasant events. We can say that it tends to restore a balance.
There is no bad karma. Everything that happens to us is fundamentally good, because karma has only one goal: to awaken, to raise our consciousness.

To ask why God does not intervene in human affairs is to ask why He made man free.
If I am punished when I do bad and rewarded when I do good, what credibility would my outbursts of kindness have?

 « I never established what was right or wrong, or what to do or what not to do. That would take away your greatest gift: the opportunity to do what you love and experience the results.

 « You want to know if, when you decide on a reincarnation, you have really chosen all the evil that is going to happen to you. But to decide on its future incarnation, if any, the soul already has the experience of one or more past incarnations. Meditation in the world of light shows him very clearly the lessons missed.
