In a recent meeting of our Rise to the Path online spiritual community (https://yoursoulsplan.com/rise-to-the-path/) that Liesel and I host every month, we discussed the meaning, value, and importance of chaos as an accelerant for spiritual growth. Given the degree of political, climate, and other chaos we have in our world today and the stress, anxiety, and depression it creates for many people, I'd like to share with you what I shared with the RTTP members.

In my book Your Soul's Plan there's a story about a soul, Tony, who plans before he's born to experience a drug addiction, and Sharon, a member of Tony's soul group who agrees to be the loving mother who shepherds him through this very difficult experience. In the channeling session for this story, I talk with a collective (a group consciousness) of angels about Tony and Sharon's pre-birth plans. Here's an excerpt from that conversation:

“I understand that souls can choose to incarnate in any location at any time. Why did Sharon and Tony choose to incarnate in the United States at this time in history?”

“There are many opportunities for them to experience their own limitations, as well as to expand awareness, both for themselves and others around them. This is a time for exponential growth in your realm. Many who have chosen to incarnate at this time are finishing the reincarnation cycles and becoming ready to move on to other realms.”

“Why are there more opportunities to experience limitation now than at other times, either in the past or in the future?”

“The planet is experiencing a systems breakdown. At those points in time when old systems break down, chaos is created. Chaos is a component—a very necessary component—of limitation and growth. It is perhaps the most fertile space in which to learn.”

Notice the use of the word "the": "it is perhaps the [my italics] most fertile space in which to learn."

We may not like the chaos. We may wish it were otherwise. But, as the ascended master Aaron (who contributed much of the channeled information in my other two books) often says, "You do not come into the incarnation for comfort or convenience." That is most surely true.

When you think about or observe the chaos in our world, hold in mind the perspective that you are temporarily immersed in what is perhaps the greatest accelerant for your evolution.

To choose before birth to immerse yourself in such chaos is a bold decision made only by the most courageous souls.
