What's the rush?

[Tanner]

I searched for this question in the forum and could not find an answer.  Hopefully it's okay to ask it here.  If I'm understanding things correctly we incarnate here (3rd density) primarily for rapid spiritual growth, for learnings that would take much longer in the spirit realm, presumably.  

I've never heard anyone ask why.  We forget everything and endure a lifetime of suffering to speed through some spiritual evolution?  Where's the fire?  Are spirits on some kind of schedule?  Does the Infinite Creator hand down quotas and benchmarks on how we should be progressing?  It just seems very bizarre to me.

Any insights here would be greatly appreciated.  I feel like I owe a soul debt to this group and this material so I apologize that one of my first interactions is an ask, and not an offering.

Thanks,
Tanner  

Let me clarify several things:
-The purpose of 3rd stage of evolution is to make a choice - Positive or Negative
-The Veil speeds up this decision, but also the byproduct of it is the negative path
-Efficiency of choice is a factor, but not the only factor
-Veil allows for a more enriching experience.  without the veil, we don't take things as seriously

There's really no rush.  Every soul is actually experience all densities simultaneously for experience.

Thank you for the response, JJCarsonian.  I recall the first point (this is a density of choice, not understanding) although I don't understand why we'd be so poorly equipped for it, i.e. why are we so obsessed with understanding things our minds have no hope of grasping?  If this is by design to add a little flavor to the experience, cool.  I'm sure it'll make a lot more sense on the other side ...where I may have some choice words for my higher self.
