To see how we do on our own - to what . We are put here in our limited 3D (4D) form and yeah, the purpose why, we don't have the faintest idea while here. Maybe that's the whole point.
Not a good answer but comments (I 'believe' are correct): I am not an NDE guy however, I have attempted to get and received many experiences in most 'paranormal fields'. This is a question that I think of regularly and wonder about. I have received a lot of 'help and assistance' because I have been 'open to divine help', my knowledge, and my attitude to pursue additional experiences and to test any 'boundary'. I think there are some definite boundaries on what we should/not 'ask for', however, there are also ways around those by asking for guidance and information on how to invest versus give me a billion dollars ---- for example.
This is my take on why at least 'my experiences' and subsequent help and assistance are 'fair' ----- at least in my mind and my 'world view'.
1. Basically, I believe (can't prove) that 'spirit guides' have tried to help 'every human' to achieve the goals they set for this 'incarnation' ----- that is the divine way to get 'truth'. Therefore, we are basically all on equal footing in this area and 'earn' what we recognize and subsequently get because 'most' have no clue they are even being helped. This help/information would include who we marry, kids, careers, warn us of danger, God truth, etc. throughout our lives. Some of us have accepted their help by 'recognizing', someone is helping me, versus ignoring or not recognizing we were helped at all. I have actually met people with amazing experiences that totally misunderstand them and most will not pursue asking for more help. If we are not 'open' enough to recognize we are being helped, I believe spirit guides will keep trying to help and normally be successful in providing basic help even if we are 'unaware' of their help. However, when we are 'open' and 'expecting help', I believe spirit guides will step up even more to giving us even more help (closer to what help we would like) and 'keeping the lines of communication' open. I believe my responsibility is to 'share' my experiences and encourage others to seek 'truth' in a 'sane' way, which proves a real challenge given the 'average' spirituality of people on this world. I post on both 'spiritual' and atheist boards and have had some interesting conversations.
2. This world is increasing in 'spirituality' but far behind some other worlds. I think the progress has improved and will continue to improve, with the internet, technology, etc. and the many 'spiritual stories' in books giving more exposure of these things to more of the world population. As this information becomes more available to more people ------ more people will start having more and more experiences. I think it is important for the 'population' to increase in 'spirituality' versus God or Source make that clear to everyone ( that appears to be a rule). How fast people accept and get interested in seeking 'truth' is the real question concerning how fast 'this planet' will be able to 'progress' in general. We are still 'many, many years' away from people in general recognizing : 1 God, 1 after life, reincarnation, world truth, spirit guides, intuition, telepathy, etc.
3. As far as individual progression that is an interesting issue. Our planet offers significant 'growth opportunities' because of our 'lower level of spiritual progress' but solid technology level versus going to a planet where more spiritual progress exists. However, some other planets have only basic life only so progress there is limited also. We will chose to reincarnate where we have the best opportunity for 'progression' ------- whatever that may be in a specific individual's case.
4. I try to 'identify the rules and boundaries' by pursuing 'spiritual experiences' and seeing what I learn then trying again where it looks like I am making progress. The bottom-line is I don't know the 'rules and boundaries' and haven't read or met anyone that does but once I read of 'new experiences (to me)' I normally attempt to add them to my experience list. Along the way I try things I have never read about also. It is 'interesting' to pursue this stuff but it seems like an 'evolving' process ----- it seems like I need to 'use/pursue' what I have to a certain extent before I get more/new 'procedures/processes/insights' but they do come.
I look forward to 'others' perspectives. Good luck in your 'truth seeking'.
I consider myself a 'truth seeker' and have not met many others. I believe I am making 'spiritual progress' and I am gaining more and more insight all the time but it is not an 'overnight' process . How all my 'spiritual awareness' works into my 'eternal growth' I really don't know. However, right now I like the help I am getting, and I will continue to pursue more help in the future.
