every stage of their spiritual evolution may be found in all walks of life and at every level of society and in fact a soul may even re-experience a much earlier phase of development in order to eventually bring greater global consciousness and healing to that realm of experience. This can be seen in people who reform from a destructive path, such as drug taking and crime and go on to teach others as a result of their experiences.

One of our major challenges whilst incarnated is that we generally don't know where we're going and even less, whether or not we'll get there. Sometimes, we feel that every door is closed to us and it is only on looking back that we are able to understand that our despair over percieved negative circumstances is what has motivated our search for understanding, whilst our levels of patience and understanding of ourself will have been tempered by passing time.

When we seek a clearer understanding of our soul's agenda for our present incarnation this can lead to a better level of communication with the Divine and an easier comprehension of the plan for our present incarnation.

There are times when no one, no matter how gifted, can help us to see ahead because we must experience our hopes and fears and make our own choices in order to deepen our character and ripen our consciousness. When we already know the outcome of any challenge, the desire to extend ourselvesto reach and grow, is removed and the challenge is gone and as such if we knew the outcome of every turning point in our lives then human nature would see us resisting anything painful or difficult and in doing so, we'd be resisting and impeding our own spiritual evolution. We need to remind ourselves that in all our life struggles, even when we think we're failing completely in our attempts to find our way, our experiences stretch and expand our spirituality and inevitably the Universal consciousness.

Adversity and change are inextricably linked and we tend to measure the severity of difficulty by the degree of change that is demanded by it. We resist change to our daily lives, simply because we fear a loss of identity and control. Too much change devitalises us; yet change is necessary to all life and growth and when it is blocked, the flow of vital energy stops, resulting in stagnation or crystallisation making further change even harder to deal with. Adversity forces us to change, stirs us up, shakes us about, stretches us and demands that we develop whether we want to or not.
