The Exit Points In Our Soul Plan

I believe that we have access to several ‘exit points’ throughout our lives. These are moments when our spirit or soul can separate from its physical form to return to the non-physical. It is said that we are given a few such exit points in our lifetime.

Planet Earth is not our primary home. I like to think of our physical existence in this world as a challenging ‘schoolroom’. This physical life journey can be very difficult at times, and I find that it makes things a little easier if we can look at it from this perspective.

I have yet to meet a person who has had a complete fairytale existence in their life. We have all had some magical moments, but not necessarily as magical as some far-fetched novels or films might portray. Sometimes we feel like we’re banging our heads against the wall just to survive on a daily basis, physically, financially or emotionally, but deep down we all have a built-in survival instinct to stay and complete what we incarnated to do.

Exit points are moments when we have the free will choice to stay in this physical world or return to the non-physical. These moments of choice can be a major health emergency, a near fatal accident, a traumatic event in which we are exposed to extreme danger, and so on. It is usually one of those profound life experiences that make us feel very lucky to still be alive!

Our soul chooses when we want to come into this physical life and also when we want to leave our body and return to the non-physical. Before our physical incarnation we also plan the goals we want to achieve and the lessons we want to experience in this lifetime. Our exit points are part of this soul plan. Spiritual medium Ashley Lindsay Searles describes exit points as potential “off-ramps” from the highway of our life journey. We choose these future exit points before we are born so that we can later choose which exit to take based on how our life path has unfolded at that point.

An exit point can occur even before birth. Some spiritual teachings suggest that a soul can choose an exit point while still in the womb. In this case the soul chooses to abort the mission and return to the non-physical before facing any of the challenges of this world. Another exit point can be during or shortly after the birth process, should the soul choose to leave this world early.

A near-death experience is another exit point that some people experience. If this has happened to you, you may recall having a vivid out-of-body or crossing over experience, perhaps meeting deceased relatives or ancestors, or having spirit guides or a guardian angel tell you in no uncertain terms that you must return to planet Earth because there is still work to be done and people who need you.

The soul’s plan for the physical life is the guiding force in a lifetime. It will choose the circumstances to leave life that best suit it’s life plan ~ Ashley Lindsay Searles

My own near-death experience, which was undoubtedly one of my pre-destined exit points, was while being hospitalised with cerebral malaria, pneumonia and alcohol poisoning all at the same time. Cerebral malaria itself is rarely survived. But I don’t remember anything about the intensive emergency care I received to save my bloated physical form. What I do remember are the various people who came to visit me in intensive care, as if I was looking down on them.

Then I remember being in front of some sort of ‘council’ or ‘panel’ of what appeared to me to be three wise old beings or spirit guardians. Although I cannot remember their exact words, I was told to return to this world and finish what I came here to do. So here I am.
