Why some wanderers shy others not

[Patrick]

...Some [souls] started out in higher densities...

That's interesting. How did you arrive at this conclusion ?

Consider this: where/when was "higher self" before you went through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th density? =O

Remember: everything is laid out from the inside out, ordered in a cumulative fashion from "larger/greater" to "smaller/lesser."

Hint: forget the concept of "time" altogether.

The game is all laid out before it even manifests in space/time. So one simply has the choice of where to start in the game or even not to play ?

The source and power of your present consciousness has never been physical, and where I am, many are not even aware that such a physical system exists. The physical system is an illusion, but you must accept it and from your viewpoint try to understand the realities that exist beyond it.
