What exactly happened to Don Elkins?

[Diana]

Wisdom and intelligence are not the same thing, though one may contribute to the other.

Don was obviously extremely intelligent—well above the average. It is my observation that high intelligence here in 3D (or early 4D as the case may be) can make an assessment of this kind about wisdom/5D/6D hard to pinpoint. In addition, it can be difficult in many cases for individuals with this level of intelligence to exist with calm and harmony in this world—they see too much; perceive too much; think about too much; and so on.

Who knows who was(is) who? Everyone here has incarnated into this world, which is a miasma of suffering, beauty, pain, epiphanies, hardships, accomplishments, connections and separations, etc.—and we are enmeshed this world wherever we hark from. We are all affected by the veil. 

I do not mean this as judgment or derogatorily, but would martyrdom be considered wise or balanced? Carla was so loving and so STO-oriented that she sacrificed her own self in the process. But that doesn't mean she wasn't wise at the level of her authentic self—she came here and was affected by this world and behind the veil like all of us. I just don't see that there is any way to know the answer to which of the three was from 5D.
