Earth is a place for a person to come to accelerate their spiritual evolution through experiences in a limited dimensional world.
Deaths are generally "pre-programmed" except under circumstances where an energy crosses or intersects with an individual's energy to make death happen at a time that was not originally programmed. You are assuming that we are the only one that made this decision. Think of the boy, the child. What if he decided that he was going to have an abbreviated life, wanted the benefits of having Valerie as the mother-personality for the time he was on Earth, and she agreed? Sometimes short lives are chosen when a soul wishes to accelerate its growth. We ask you to know that there are no simple answers. All lives are interconnected. This is a basic spiritual tenant. So, to ask A happen simply because of B - no, it happened because of B, B prime, C, and many other reasons. This is why planning is required before incarnation - to make sure that the life weavings benefit all for the reasons they wish to learn.
pg. 227, 2007Question to Channeled [Valerie's] Higher Self: Why did the deaths occur specifically when they did and the way they did? Ans: It was agreed among all three souls that this appeared to be the time when the most growth could be triggered in all involved. Question to Channeled [Valerie's] Higher Self: That makes it sound like the souls caused the deaths of the personalities. Is that an accurate understanding? Ans: It is not that we caused the deaths, Valerie's soul explained, As an example, someone is in an accident where beyond all reasonable doubt they have survived. While in that accident, the personality could not make a decision to live or die. The soul looked and decided now is not the time. Remember, the soul and the personality, while they may feel separate, one does not fight the other. The soul does not argue with the personality, 'It's time to go,' 'No, it isn't'. You must understand that the personality is a construct.
pg. 229-230, 2007Many accidents are planned before birth for the purposes of spiritual growth, service to others, awakening, and deeper self-knowing. Profound growth is possible not only for the person who experiences the accident but also for everyone that person touches. Ultimately, because all lives are interconnected, everyone is touched.
pg. 247, 2007Question to Channeled being: For what other reasons do souls plan to have accidents? Ans: Balancing karma is a major factor. If someone has grievously injured somebody else in another lifetime, they will often make plans to be in the right place at the right time to suffer at the hands of that person. Many times there is a need for greater insight. The accident force the person to change their viewpoint, thus enabling them to have insight that had eluded them on the physical level for many lifetimes.
pg. 259, 2007According to Seth, we choose our illnesses and the circumstances of our birth and death. This applies to every illness, whether it is a broken leg suffered from an accident, or an ulcer.
pg. 134, 2001Question to [Valerie's] Higher Self: I then asked how much of what happens in a person's life is planned before birth. Ans: There is not just one way to do it. Certain souls at their level of growth need things completely planned. As a soul is older, it is more willing to leave many doors open for choice. You would not expect a soul going through its first incarnation on Earth to be able to leave as much to chance as a soul who has done this many, many times. Not all souls are equal in advancement. Not all methodologies for creating personalities and karma are the same.
