I believe the answer is quite complex.

The obstacles a soul faces increase with age. Because they have experienced incarnation considerably more frequently than younger souls, older souls are further along in their maturation. Many younger souls reject reincarnation for valid reasons. Many younger souls might not even be reincarnation-open because they might be in their first incarnations. This is a fair reason why they could not believe in reincarnation. To them, it is not yet a reality. But that will alter over the course of many lifetimes.

As a result of having experienced so many prior lives, older souls have learnt the intricacies of life. And the more you learn, the more difficult your trip will be. Think of it as how much more complex high school is than kindergarten. I have to admit that I used to be so envious of people who seemed to live a carefree existence (although I don’t think anyone really glides for very long because life is difficult on Earth). But of course, that was before I had developed my spirituality while dealing with severe hardships.

But consider this. Maybe people who experience less hardship in life have younger souls. I’m not lying. Because I am unable to empathise to these fresh individuals, I have made the decision to avoid them. Probably both parties would feel that way. You cannot enrol a kindergartener in grade nine, after all. Regarding the souls’ evolutionary stage, it is the same concept. Despite the fact that I do not believe in the cliche “God does not give you more than you can manage,” I do have other ideas about what actually occurs.

Can Souls Really Decide Their Incarnations Before Being Born?

Together with the spirit guides, in my opinion, it does. Your learning and acquisition of fresh viewpoints are the goals. That is the most difficult. I firmly believe that everything happens according to your blueprint, including the people you marry, the parents you have, and, if you have siblings, your siblings. But there is a warning. There is flexibility in the schedules and freedom for free will. There are things that take place that weren’t planned because they have an affect on you and may force you to deviate from your blueprint, as well as things you decide in life. When it occurs, I have the impression that your soul departs from your body when you are sleeping deeply because it is connected by a silver lead. Your blueprint is modified by you and your guides. Thus, yes, I believe that your soul prepares for your incarnation before entering, but free will alters how life unfolds. It is difficult to foresee everything that will occur in your life before birth.

Does “God Giving You More Than You Can Handle” Apply to Certain Individuals Who Go Through Hell?

Let’s say your life has been a living horror. In that scenario, I think God or the Universe had little to do with anything, whether it entailed abuse, addiction, poverty, providing care for decades, never fitting in, enduring unfathomable grief, or anything else. Instead, I believe that because of the need to progress, your soul is heavily involved. When everything is going well and you’re coasting along, you don’t evolve. Sadly, grief will play a role in your growth after experiencing Such experiences because loss is one of the most difficult things you will go through. Loss need not always include close friends or family. Disenfranchised grieving, or loss of dreams, possessions, dignity, etc., can also occur.
The guides do “speak” with you, though, and tell you that because of the limitations of your ego while you are incarnated, it will obstruct your efforts to progress. It is there to keep you safe.

That also applies to seasoned souls. One can only take so much at once. However, some souls may be so obstinate during the planning process that they fail to heed the advice of the guides, learn the hard way, and end up dealing with C-PTSD or other persistent mental or physical illnesses. However, some reach a breaking point where they feel forced to give up and leave on their own. And there is yet another indication of the dire need for mental health treatment. I’ll now go over something I’ve been meaning to write about for a while.

Does Your Soul Foresee The Trauma You Would Experience In Life?

I want to shout “NO!” loud and clear from the rooftops. I have seen some so-called mediums on Instagram gaslighting you into thinking that you are not a trauma victim since you “planned” it, therefore I absolutely cannot subscribe to that. I’m sorry, but who in their right mind would arrange for their three-year-old nephew to abuse them? Who in their right mind would intend to spend the first 15 years of their life being ridiculed and bullied simply for being “different”? (That didn’t happen to me, but it regrettably occurs a lot.) I experienced that (but not for very long).

In other words, you do not prepare for your trauma before birth. You are caught in the crossfire as a result of someone else abusing their freedom of choice. I hold the same views towards natural disasters as well. It is one of those instances in which “shit occurs,” and that is some terrible stuff happening as well. Your soul’s age is unrelated to that in any way. Nobody is exempt from suffering trauma as a result of an attack, a house invasion, or a natural disaster. Below is what I think takes place. The more soul-digging within is required, the older the soul is. They will also have to go through events that will make them realise they have lost any power they once had.

The soul would prepare for that when they encountered circumstances that would lead them to rediscover the strength they once had but had lost in past lives. Yet, it is not intended, and trauma is a risk for that. After experiencing anything traumatic, you have two options: continuing sinking in a muck of C-PTSD and misery, or start doing some shadow work and regaining your power. All of that is challenging, but it is the only way you can discover your inner strength.

I want to emphasise that you should dismiss those who claim that because “you planned your trauma,” you are not a victim. They are gaslighting you; your trauma is real regardless of what happened; and no, as I previously stated, while your life’s plans may have enhanced the likelihood that something unpleasant will occur, you did not intend to experience the horrifying events you may have. Nothing can take away the fact that you have experienced trauma at some point in your life, and recovering from it is one of the most difficult things to do. As I already stated, life is difficult, and this difficulty increases with your soul age.
