thanks, Rudi, this sounds complicated. I avidly listen to the Kryon channelings by Lee Carroll, and Kryon's take on it is that we choose to be reincarnated because we want to know how everything turns out that we have worked so hard to do when on the earth plane--i.e. bring peace on earth, etc. This would correspond with your "lesser God" or egoic self that wants to change things and make a difference in the world, leaving a mark on the planet--so even when we do good, it is coming from an egoic sense of wanting to make a difference. So, are you saying, that even in our angelic state after we leave the body, we still have an ego? Kryon says that coming and going on the planet is our "job", that's what we "old" souls do, and we'll keep on doing it, even if we say to ourselves while we're in the body that we don't want to do it again.

How do we tell our Higher Self, lovingly, kindly, yet firmly, that we don't want to come back around again, but want to go on to something else? I want to change jobs!!! you'd think, after we've been on the planet for 500 lifetimes or more, that we'd get to retire! What kind of "heavenly" plan is that, when you never get a vacation or retirement benefits?!?! No fair! We should go on strike.

Looking forward to your next "installment"!

Blessings, Liora
