Sylvia Browne suggests in her book "The Other Side and Back" that "the whole reason we leave The Other Side to come here from time to time is to learn, and to experience and overcome negativity. So not only do we not choose easy life themes for ourselves, but many times we choose a primary theme and a secondary theme that conflict with each other, to really challenge ourselves." 😀
She then lists 44 life themes with brief descriptions. If anyone wishes for me to post a chosen one, please feel free to just ask. 😉
Activator, Aesthetic Pursuits, Analyser, Banner Carrier, Builder, Catalyst, Cause Fighter, Controller, Emotionality, Experiencer, Fallibility, Follower, Harmony, Healer, Humanitarian, Infallibility, Intellectuality, Irritant, Justice, Lawfulness, Leader, Loner, Loser, Manipulator, Passivity, Patience, Pawn, Peacemaker, Performance, Persecution, Persecutor [:@] Poverty, Psychic, Rejection, Rescuer, Responsibility, Spirituality, Survival, Temperance, Tolerance, Victim, Victimizer [:'(] Warrior, Winner.
I like to think of myself as an aspiring humanitarian and healer ... but if they usually conflict in order to benefit from a challenge, I guess I've got at least one wrong [>:] If anyone can help me out - please do 😉
Love and light,

RE: Which life theme did YOU choose?
Believer
I cannot understand how we can chose a life theme as we are not in the position tochose before hand; at least that is what I believe. Rather we can shape our life to be better or worse than what we would "like" to be. Sure we make choices in life and those choices determine our future; but we make choices as we live, not before hand.

In the book that Annie has recommended, it clearly states that the lessons we come to earth to learn is about spirituality - I haven't got the book now having lent it to my daughter, so I cannot quote from it at the moment.
However, we often have a purpose too as well as learning how to become more spiritual. Our purpose is connected to our physical circle, and has been given to us for most part - some things still cannot be divulged, until the time is right. ( So that we do not opt out of the agreement we all made before being born. )
This has been discussed several times on the old forum, where Kim put forward her theories of % of free will and contract, for the life we wished to undertake this time round. ( It is the same for each incarnation we take. )
We need the earth plane to advance ourselves spiritually. It is what has been termed as a 'schoolhouse' for learning here, for the hardships cannot be experienced on the higher planes of existence. It was never meant to be an easy ride - what would we ever learn if it was ?
The contacts that are made by us, and those affecting the life we will live are done by those beings whose responsibility it is to ensure that nothing is left to chance, that all life is preordained. We choose our own parents, as the people who will help us to achieve the aims we aspire to. Everything is taken into consideration and the free will allows us to change what happens to us to a degree. If we stray from the chosen pathway that we are supposed to be on, - we often find ourselves drawn back to that same pathway time and again, or, as may happen too we decide to go one way, but eventually find the right one to fulfil our destiny.
Each obstacle we come up against during our lives moulds our character as we overcome and grow more in the process.
with love

Each to his and her own Alex 😉 We're all, thank God, entitled to our own beliefs and theories 😀 and then, thanks to folk like Mike 😉 have a wonderful opportunity to share them, whilst learning about others. I believe that we carefully prepare our own BLUEPRINTS with the help of 'masters' (mistresses or its) & those who we choose to take advice from, and at the same time, we select our spirit guides, helpers and soul mates who then promise to watch over us during our brief time away (only about a day in spirit world, so we don't expect too much really!) 😀 and then VOILA! we take 'flight' on our 'next' journey of acomplishment and learning and whatever else we set out to experience and achieve [8D] Of course I also believe that God takes a look at our blueprints and helps us to cross a few 'items' off, or possible to include a few that we may have overlooked, or thought ourselves incapable of enduring or achieving. (Probably those we sometimes refer to as 'Lifes little knocks".) [:@] (Ohhhh! I just spotted my @ sign as this nasty beast before it's transformed into picture form! :()
Well, all that is just what I think ... for what it's worth! 😀
May I live to learn MUCH, MUCH more whilst I'm here 😉
Love and light;)
@nnie:D
PS: Come on Alex ;), pick one of the above for fun, and see whether it resonates with you or someone you know [8D]
