Individual souls and collective knowledge
QUESTION: Masters given that physical life is full of sadness and cruelty and negatives at many times, and the human population keeps growing and has for thousands of years, when will Source decide that it knows enough about itself to cease sending more souls into the physical plane? ~Matt, England
ANSWER: Physical life, at least on planet Earth, is lived in a duality of negative and positive energies so that souls may exercise their freedom of choice. It was created for souls to help the collective consciousness understand all the possible and potential aspects of a physical life.
Source does not send souls onto the physical plane. The decision to enter into a human body is solely that of each individual soul who does so. All have total freedom of choice and no demands or dictates interfere.
Souls are pieces of Source broken off so that Source could learn what it was not, but once a soul is individualized it makes its own decisions. The choice to return to Earth after once experiencing the phenomenon is made because that particular soul wishes to have a different experience from what it has already gone through. It may not have felt satisfied with the initial lifetime or may have wanted to change some aspects to see what the difference felt like.
Any soul who feels it has had enough of the negativity of Earth merely refrains from going back and occupies itself in some other way. As long as souls want to learn through experiencing the use of freedom of choice, Earth will continue to exist and they will continue to go there.
