A0358: Are incarnations rewarded with power according to the severity of their life?
No, the severity of life has nothing to do with the outcome of the increase in power and we tell you why that is so.
If a person has a difficult life, then this life was never intended and we also say that not everything can be predetermined, because many factors lead to a life taking a completely different course than all beings have previously determined. We also say that almost no life at all goes exactly as it was predetermined, because you as human beings have free will that must not be broken, therefore all human beings will never take the main path that they thought up as an incarnation, but it will always be something that occurs in the main path and was described in all of the optional paths, so that at the end of bodily life a lot was achieved, but never as it was intended. Many people wonder when they suddenly develop new interests and that mostly has to do with the fact that the masters and teachers ensure that many areas of your main path and the optional paths are approached by the persons.
If you lead an arduous life, then you never thought it out in the same way as you planned your life in the spiritual world, but a lot has happened that it did. If the allotted power were tied to the goals of life, then you would never grow properly, by that we mean the growth of consciousness. But if you manage to get out of a predicament, then you will grow because you have mastered the situation, it is not at all relevant whether the predicament was self- inflicted or not, but it is always the mastering of situations that let yourself emerge stronger from it and only for this do you receive an increase in power, which can be recognized during bodily life, but which only really comes into effect after death.
If you are in an awkward position, don’t run away, but take heart and master the situation, after that you have grown and every person who has already mastered something like this will understand what we are talking about.
