We have learned that there is actually quite a large degree of “vibrational stratification” in the spirit world. And not just in terms of “being in limbo.” That spiritual vibration can have you low enough in vibration to actually be earthbound, but not so low as to put you in the “holding place” and subject to the horrors of extreme direct spirit meddler or demonic tyranny. And then there is everything in between. Likewise, making it “to the light” doesn’t mean that you get to hang out with everyone there. Your vibration will place you directly with those of highly similar vibration, while distancing you from those with significantly different, higher or lower vibrations. This is not a problem on a physical world. On a world, everyone gets to encounter and interact with everyone else living on that world. On Earth, the sinner can live next door to the saint, while in the light that might not even be possible due to the significant difference in spiritual vibration. So is incarnation and/or habitation on WORLDS critically important in creating environments with qualities and experiences and a reality that is markedly different from that of living purely in spirit form alone? What can Creator tell us?

This wider scope of possibilities, with an absence of constraints and an overall compartmentalization to sort everything into categories and levels of attainment at the outset, is what makes your galaxy an open-ended unfolding with the potential much greater in terms of what can be achieved or at least attempted. This is circling around the reason for the ongoing paradigm of free agency and free will having been bestowed in the first place to a greater extent within your galaxy as a test of potential for success in allowing individual soul-based beings to break free, to leave the pack and head out on their own, to take on new challenges, break new ground, explore new pursuits, and experiment with taking on greater obligations and responsibilities. That is not only a prescription for success, it can as readily lead to failure. The question then becomes, "How will you respond when you crash and burn?" so to speak. Will you dust yourself off, reflect on your experience, and take a new tack, head in a new direction to launch back into life in a way that capitalizes on your recent experiences, aiming to do better and striving to make things work with new strategies and ideas? The willingness to take risk implies the willingness to face the consequences, at least it will come with a built-in outcome potential that may well bring penalties for an inadequate performance. The wider scope of the current paradigm is a double-edged sword, so to speak; it will not only provide greater rewards but possibly lead to great suffering if things end in failure, and the degree of harm will govern the possible price to be paid with a karmic reckoning, which decides your fate. So the new paradigm comes with inherent risk, and the process of learning and growth will teach you, often from hard-won life lessons in the meaning of risk and the consequences of falling short. We know from our deep experience base that facing hardship and overcoming one's limitations and failures become the best way to develop greater wherewithal and the wisdom and discernment needed for overcoming what is in your way. The art of living and the success of a civilization depends, in part, on the quality of its citizens and their willingness to follow rules and moral precepts that contribute to ongoing fairness and cooperation. In addition to allowing personal striving to achieve personal goals and rewards, there cannot be only one winner and all the rest become losers. The narrow pursuit of personal gain has been the biggest pitfall putting everything at risk. There needs to be a broader array of soul attributes creating checks and balances, and a tolerance of others and their needs in ways that become recognizable as opportunities in allowing them room and even a measure of support through personal sacrifice. This is a good example of love being its own reward. Giving up an immediate gratification, in a material sense, in exchange for inner satisfaction one has done the right thing in helping someone else get ahead, will have long-term rewards for the Good Samaritan. Learning to see that, and develop the discernment and strength of character to contribute to society as much as the self, is a measure of divine alignment as well as meeting a needed threshold of vibrational level for Ascension.
