Hi Tree, I like your writings as they are always inspiring and thought provoking.
I was wondering if you could clear this up for me. There seems to be a contradiction between a persons <<<free will>>> and the level of their <souls influence> within these statements:

<the soul is the master of it all>

<the soul has its own personality aside from that of the image.>

<Your soul is the observer, and the controller>

<<<The Divine plan of free will calls for non-interference by the soul>>>

<The soul sets the parameters for learning>

<This interconnection and cooperation of souls is responsible for arranging situations humans call chance meetings>

<<<within learning is always free will so that even if the opportunities for learning wisdom come to each soul, no soul must choose that wisdom>>>

After further thinking about the above, is the conflict resolved by a persons level of awareness of what the soul is showing them? And if so, free will seems to only reside in whether or not you are aware of your souls influence. Or restated as you have the free will to recognize or not that your soul owns you. hehe Is that correct?

The snip below just doesn't seem right in light of OBE's and NDE's as pain and pleasure are derived from the senses and sense is retained while out of body or even after death. Also I've heard of stories where people remember past lives so it seems that the souls memories are made available to the new body and not always wiped clean.

<All such pain or pleasure is left behind, and only the wisdom from the situation is useful to the soul and the rest is forgotten. All babies are born with memories wiped clean of past experience.>

Thank you for sharing your understanding!
