Ego Survives Death?

[APeacefulWarrior]

I tend to think that its sort of a case of getting what you need, rather than what you want. From what various positive entities have said about the "other side" and the reincarnation process, forms and modes of existence are chosen largely based on the lessons they can teach. For less developed entities, such as native 3D dwellers, this is done for them. As an entity develops in awareness, self-control, and energy levels it can increasingly take charge of its own development and seek out lives that would challenge it in some way.

So it would be more about why an entity is choosing a form/existence rather than the specifics of the form itself. Like, oh, let's say an entity wanted to live a life of riches. If they were choosing this simply because they wanted power or control -desires of the ego- they'd probably be denied. But if they wanted to use the riches for larger good like a life of philanthropy, or even specifically to learn about how power *doesn't* make one happy, they'd be more likely to be approved. (I suppose.)

Plus, of course, there's very little chance of any of us here on Earth truly knowing enough about the "big picture" of our existence to know for certain where our desires come from. That's stuff that gets revealed/remembered after we die. We're deliberately flying blind down here, letting our instincts guide us to see where we end up, and how that compares to the original goals for the incarnation.

Who knows, maybe you were a wolf in your last life who now WANTS to be human, and you're just having trouble dealing with the transition. :-)
