Events are not isolated occurrences.
There is a gradual build up to every important event, and then a gradual waning, that often leads to other events.
Things that lead up to events can be considered coincidences, only by those that observe them as such. Most go unnoticed or dismissed.
The plan is selected and agreed upon pre-incarnation. Free will is designed to allow us to make the decision which our higher selves already know we will make, though the choice may appear spontaneous to us while in the illusion. This gives us the "experience" of understanding why we choose what we choose, walking a mile in our own boots, as it were.
The saying "Learn from the lessons of others; you don't have time to make them all yourself" was wrong in that it does not take reincarnation into account. Yes! We do have time to make all the wrong decisions, be it 75,000 years, or 150,000 years, or 225,000 years, etc etc. Whatever it takes; there is time.
