Why Do Old Souls Return To Earth?

Evolved souls have many options to choose from when they reincarnate, so why do we choose to come to this world? After all, planet Earth is a highly challenging environment for advanced soul growth.

The energy conditions here offer an excellent spiritual ‘classroom’ for younger souls. Earth offers many experiences to learn from. Justice and injustice. Love and hate. Pain and joy. Feast and famine. Wealth and poverty. The magical experience of having children is also very appealing and unique to Earth.

These learning opportunities are a strong pull for young souls, but for the older soul the physical experience here tend to be frustratingly slow and dense. Existing in a frail human body is an added challenge.

There are other planes of existence where a physical body or constant efforts to maintain a raised vibration are not at all needed. In those higher dimensions there is no time-space limitation, nor dense material form. There is only pure consciousness. There are also other planets in the Universe, beyond our solar system, where the energy vibration is much higher and lighter, and the expansion of consciousness much more evolved, and less taxing.

So, why do some old souls choose to repeat the human experience once again, and sign up for another difficult life journey in such a spiritually inhospitable place here on Earth?

When we begin to ‘grow up’ spiritually, we start to understand that a spiritual awakening is not about having blissful experiences but is about serving a much higher and more profound cause: the collective growth of the human race ~ Mateo Sol

Spirit has shown me that some of us choose to come to Earth to learn more about energy manipulation. It is much more challenging to master energy manipulation in this dense, physical environment. Telepathy and telekinesis, for example, are especially difficult. It is demanding to navigate the vibrations of this planet, leading to greater mastery. In higher realms we communicate telepathically, and direct and control energy with our minds.

Some souls also return to the Earth realm to settle outstanding karmic debts. Human karma created on the earth plane cannot be resolved in other planes of existence. In the higher realms there are no lies and no deceit. There is no separation. There is no competition. There is no envy, greed, lust, violence, or power struggle.

Lightworkers are what I call Old Souls…They have an interest in being of service. They want to live a life of passion and purpose and have their life mean something. They care about people and causes that stir something important within them. And they very often dream of how life on this planet could be better ~ Alana Fairchild

Many older souls also return as lightworkers to support those who are still coming to learn earth lessons. We are spiritual volunteers who come because we feel called to do so. We care about humanity, the planet, and global evolution. We care about preserving the beauty of nature and protecting the animals and environment of this co-created reality.

There is a constant struggle throughout creation to transform darkness into light and continue to expand the Universe. For the old soul, this planet provides many opportunities to combat evil and darkness with love and light. That is why we choose to come back.
