Why Return to Earth?

[kdsii]

We came to help, and by doing so, we may 'poke holes' in the forgetting process, but never truly remember all while here.
It was said many times that it's a gamble, you may lose polarity while trying to help, and that the Higher Self knows best, even if we regret it once we are incarnate.

It is what it is! But, I think I'd do it again.

This is a fairly simple thread, but I thought it would garner some interesting answers.

So, often here we have discussed the idea of being "Wanderers", and also the idea that almost everybody in some way or another is a vast being of consciousness.

That being said, and understanding that Choice is the axis upon which the creation turns, why, oh why, have we chosen to take on a human form? What is it in Humanness that attracts spirits to want to take on a human form, even to the extent that they completely identify with the human form?

I raise this question because I see a lot of people who seem to hate being human. They have contempt for their bodies, they see being human as being parallel with suffering, they fill their head with every thought they can that they will not have to experience this human form much longer. Yet, if we do that as humans, is that not what traps us within the limited illusion?

Countless lives we go through, this same suffering, and wallowing in the suffering, in questioning the suffering. We spend life after life identifying with the aspects of the human which is suffering, which is the body, which is the fear of death. Why then, when we realize that we are more than our bodies, that there is more than suffering, do we continue to identify only the suffering with being human? If we, as humans, realize more than suffering, than does that not then bring more than suffering in to the human realm of experience? So long as we view the human condition as being one of suffering, that is what it shall be, and the human condition, which is to become a God-like conscious being, shall go unfulfilled due to the lingering condition of the illusion of frailty.

If we came here to "remember", why might we do that? I might just take a gander that when we remember, we really show that the Creator is in all things, and the Creator knows That Which It Is with a greater certainty.

I don't find any form of control over others fulfilling, so I really don't consider it a choice. To try to be of service is just my way, developing ever slowly as it may. :p

When you get to this stage (and who hasn't) it can be useful to investigate the psychology of the negative side. In my early years I encountered a powerful negative entity, alone at night with my sister in the lounge room of a house we were sharing at the time. We were both roused from our rooms at the same time by a growing sense of apprehension, went into the lounge room, then simultaneously turned to face the same point in the room. Nothing was to be seen, but the sense of an overpowering presence was almost tangible. It was radiating an intense hatred, and it seemed that I was the target, since my sister burst out, "I'll protect you!" Most generous of her, though neither of us had any idea what to do. The (non-) being "felt" to be about twelve feet tall, as though its head were above the ceiling, and after about five of the most fear-filled minutes of my life it gradually faded.

After this incident passed without ill effect, I felt myself somewhat protected against negative forces, and allowed myself to enter in meditation the mind-state of those who sincerely believe that there is nothing other than time, space, energy and matter. The only way to understand this is to experience it. Believe me when I say that it truly is a hell; and to be stuck in such a state without any promise of death - an eternity of meaninglessness - would surely be torture beyond imagining. When you emerge from such a meditation, the world seems so bright, cheerful, many-coloured and care-free that you're happy just to be alive.

Many of the problems in today's world are deliberately created by wealthy, powerful people whose minds inhabit that dark prison even as they walk about in the sunlight, and who need external distractions to keep them from facing what is within them. Bloody war seems an exciting alternative to it, especially if you've created the necessary intrigues yourself and can gloat over the consequences. The dark side must ultimately be as well-known as the light for each to move beyond this polarity. Ra said as much.
