from Epilogue "Why Souls Come to Earth"

...“So, how does the new Earth work? What kind of training ground is it now? What
pushes forward your growth if you no longer have to struggle?”

Look at it from the soul’s perspective. For long ages, the means to gain practical
wisdom, was to take on a separated physical, emotional and mental body. You, as a
soul, were willing to do this, and to undergo great hardships and persecutions, lessons
of life and death. At the soul level, you knew it would all work out in the end. All the
pain and suffering, as well as happiness and satisfaction over many lives, would
eventually produce enough experience to gratify the divine desire for wisdom.

As you, the soul, grew and matured, the weight of physical and emotional fatigue, plus
upwelling spiritual lucidity, began to tilt the balance. The entrenched ego and mind
now became more of a barrier to growth than a stimulus. The more experienced, older
souls on the planet reached a critical mass, and the whole body of souls turned on its
axis, swinging around collectively toward the paradigm shift.

“All right. I can see the way this was unfolding. But I still don’t see how souls can get
the experience they need without the old system dynamics.”

It takes longer; this is true; it is a gentler ascent now. Some souls, at all ages, prefer
gentler learning experiences. These were the souls who remained together in the new
paradigm. The learning curve we have now is more appropriate for those who
remained. In spite of the dynamic changes, our new system still has much of the same
structure as the old. The range of engagement is still about the same, from novice to
graduate. We pack more experience into each life, and we live longer on the physical
plane.

The major difference now is that the illusion associated with duality has been dissolved.
Yes, we still live in a duality, form world. But we are clear that it is not our ultimate
reality. Separative awareness is no longer fundamental to the scheme. Ego is largely
gone. Awareness of Source, soul and repeated incarnation is a given. Importantly, the
genetic structure no longer supports fear and ego inflation. This amounts to what I
have mentioned repeatedly—a new system, a new species, a new Earth, founded on a
deep sense of authenticity and appreciation. In a word: freedom...
