Journey of souls by M. Newton. Quotes VIII

-When we enter the space of life selection, we are full of hope, promise, and lofty expectations. Here, souls are virtually alone, with their guides out of sight, while evaluating new life options.
-Without knowing why, most people believe their life has a plan.
-Whenever I am confused about what to do in life, I quietly sit down and think about where I have been and compare this to where I might want to go in future. The answer to the next step just comes to me from inside myself.
-During our lives all of us will experience opportunities for change which involve risk. These occasions may come at inconvenient times. We may not act upon them, but the challenge is there for us. The purpose of reincarnation is the exercise of free will. Without this ability, we would be impotent creatures indeed.
-The law of cause and effect for our actions always exists.
-We are the masters of our destiny.
-If souls choose a life where their death will be premature, they often see it in the place of life selection. I have found that souls essentially volunteer in advance for bodies who will have sudden fatal illnesses, are to be killed by someone, or come to an abrupt end of life with many others from a catastrophic event. Souls who become involved in these  tragedies are not caught in the wrong place at the wrong time with a capricious God looking the other way. Every soul has a motive for the events in which it chooses to participate.
-Blueprints for the next life vary in the degree of difficulty the soul-mind sets for itself. If we just come off an easy life, making little interpersonal progress, our soul might want to choose a person in the next time cycle who will face heartache and perhaps tragedy.
-My cases show few real accidents involving body damage which don't fall under the free will of souls.
-When a soul is inside a damaged body, this choice can involve a learning path to another type of lesson.
-Sometimes one of the most important lessons is to learn to just let go of the past.
-Subjects will see his real mother again.
