Sudden illness Agree: 2 divider Disagree: 0

5

Both Agreements and DisagreementsWhen death occurs from a sudden illness, the spirit of this person generally is aware that this is going to happen to them and is prepared on a spiritual level for this happening.

AgreeQuestion 856: Does a spirit know the kind of death it will have beforehand? Answer: The life the spirit chooses gives it a sense that one end is more likely than another. It also has a sense of the challenges its life will be exposed to and feels that it will prevail until its appointed time.

AgreeYou 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.
