Consequences of choosing life period
QUESTION: Masters, I am confused on the topic of souls choosing the time of incarnation on earth. You said souls can choose a time in history to experience. But I thought only one soul can be in a human at one time. And wouldn’t the souls free will and decisions change the future? ~Michael, Australia
ANSWER: With few exceptions, the rare attachments of one soul who has left its body and does not want to return Home to another’s body being the most common one, only one soul may inhabit the same body at one time. If you think only in a linear fashion going back in time to live a pre-determined existence would seem to be two souls within the same body. But what we are referring to is the ability to undergo the same experiences in a slightly different, or parallel, lifetime with the one you wish to recreate.
It is very much like a well-known play where the lead role is played by different people in different cities, but it looks identical to the audience. The performance of actor two does nothing to change the actions of actor number one. Time is not linear when going from soul to soul.
An individual soul will have memories of what it has done in another life – that is why your past life memories of uncompleted life lessons can affect a subsequent life. That energetic holdover affects only the individual and not anyone who is sharing either a prior or subsequent existence, so the activity of someone from your group does not change your actions unless you choose for them to affect you.
All souls still have freedom of choice regardless of whether the life is one chosen from the “catalog” of previously lived lives or something new they dreamed up themselves. Say you wanted to be the first man to step on the moon. Your performing that in an alternative dimension does not change Neil Armstrong’s legacy of being the first in this present timeline.
You are influenced only by the dimensional timeline you chose to enter. It is possible to replay an event several times to explore alternative outcomes without affecting anyone but the one you are presently running through.
