Are you still wondering why you have the life that you are living? Are you still wishing that you could be in another time or place? Have you ever prayed to God and asked why me? Have you ever thought, I don't deserve what is happening to me? All these questions are from the perspective of being human. They are questions about our physical existence. How about questions as to how good you may have life? Do I deserve to have things come to me so easily?

It is the job of your soul to try and direct you to make the tough choices and learn your lessons. It can be a very difficult job for the soul to accomplish. The soul does not have total control over the physical body. You can make choices that can be detrimental to the soul in the spiritual world. I don't mean that you can go to hell. In actuality there is no such place. That is purely a man-made concept. But through the law of vibration you will attract to you the energy or events that will help you learn that lesson.
