death is planned before incarnation?

[Minyatur]

We really are moving through states of probabilities, so the ability to plan your incarnation comes from your ability to know yourself and others as Creator to be able read the flow of probabilities to a great enough extent that it can encompass a whole lifetime. There won't be like a single path but instead many paths that are foreseen to be walked and deemed valid, you take into account spiritual gravity with others also, sometimes it requires a greater understanding of others than they even have of themselves, etc.

Unless an entity is 6D, I doubt it has a great ability in planning it's incarnation. Even then I would think there's 6D entities who are good at it and others who mainly get to see the mirror of each incarnation as something they can't predict, really depends on how much you have distilled the experience of being yourself already. A soul that went in countless 3D worlds already knows the patterns of itself to a great extent for example. I think the story of the two 5D wanderers who went on Ra's planet say a whole lot about this with their inability to foresee that the best way their intent could take shape to dignify the OIC was through switching polarity and offer services to a different lot than those they had come to serve.

I also do think that if your ability to know yourself comes to make you too much a needle with a fixed direction even when put under confusion (means your will does not get fractalized by choices/catalysts), then incarnating into 3D probably loses it's value. So in a way, we might be here for what we can't foresee from our lifetimes, making the experiences of the self worthwhile.
