If the afterlife is so beautiful and full of love, why do we come to Earth at all?

“life on Earth? Why are we here? Well, I believe and I feel that we're here for the experience and for each experience that we choose to come back here, we are learning and it's just a school and it's a hard I think it's a hard school. Um, there are other planets that we can go to. We have many many many many lifetimes. We have like we never die. We're infinite beings. So, Earth I do find is a more challenging one. I particularly like coming back here. I I I feel I've had a lot of lives here. So, our point and our”39:38

“might sound repetitive, but but I believe we are here to learn how to love in spite of all the fear, pain, and and struggles that we go through here on earth. And some people would call that like we're here to evolve. We're here to grow and to learn. And that's all I resonate with that. But when I thought about it, when after my near-death experience, I literally just thought my job is to figure out how to get through this this challenging stuff that I go through and find love on the other side every single time. And what blows”43:57

“We just come to Earth to learn and to experience, but the other side, if you want to call it Heaven, the afterlife, the other side, that's where we're from.”5:36

“And what a lot of people ask me is, well, why do we come into a lifetime in the first place? What's the reason? Well, the number one reason that I learned is that on the other side, it's a perfect world. There is no war, there's no disease, there's no hunger, there's no homelessness. There's just, nothing negative. When you come into a life on Earth, you learn by going through different challenges. And I know that's kind of hard to accept, but when you look at your life and you look at the painful things you went through, those are the episodes of your life that taught you the most. And it's almost like the hardest things you go through, that's what makes you who you are. And on the other side, we can still learn, we just don't have anything to work through. Does that make sense?”22:29

“God showed me that life on Earth is simply a school for our souls to learn, to learn love, compassion, pain, guilt, sorrow, and forgiveness. We knew God before we decided to come to Earth in physical form. Our guides help us choose each life to learn what we need to learn. Sometimes we are a man, others a woman, sometimes white, black, or brown. We need to come back to Earth repeatedly until we learn before we graduate. For some, it takes hundreds of lifetimes.”4:25

“thoughts because this is our responsibility to to start focusing on love, on light, on laughter, on joy, on abundance, on everything that is good. and and when we do this again, we shall evolve. Because what they showed me was that we come to Earth, it's almost like, yeah, let's do Earth. You know, Earth is one of the most challenging places that you can choose from. We before we come here, we sit down with a counselor. We decide what it is that we want to experience and learn from and where we want to go in order to learn these”10:43

“Earth is just a place of learning and growth in developing your soul. But our real home is on the other side, or some people like to call it heaven, some people call up the afterlife.”7:07

“what it's really all about. And on the other side, our lives over there are the only way I can describe it is it's like they're they're perfect. There's nothing to work through over there. There's no hunger. There's no mental illness. There's no homelessness. There's no war. There's no disease. There's no aging. There's no death. It's a perfect world. So when people want to learn something, they come to a place like earth because one of the best ways that the soul learns is by going through something”18:07

“Consciousness learns through contrast. Matter of fact, that's what we're doing here on planet Earth. In the perfect environment of heaven, it's hard to change and grow. And near-death experiences have been told that if it were not for souls leaving the comfort and joy of their heavenly homes, disconnecting from feeling the beautiful love coming down into these tough lifetimes, and this is a tough place to be. If you're here on planet Earth, oh, you're an expert soul. Earth is the hardest place to have a life”6:52

“what it's really all about. And on the other side, our lives over there are the the only way I can describe it is it's like they're they're perfect. There's nothing to work through over there. There's no hunger. There's no mental illness. There's no homelessness. There's no war. There's no disease. There's no aging. There's no death. It's a perfect world. So when people want to learn something, they come to a place like earth because one of the best ways that the soul learns is by going through something”141:25

“But why do we need to come to earth to go on this journey or learn these lessons or to figure out how to reconnect? Why can't we just do that in heaven?”1:24

“And a lot of people ask, "Why am I here? Like, I don't want to be here." Like, we always think like it's too hard, but the soul loves it, right? It loves Earth.”28:23

“purpose of life, why we come here. I was taught something very different in my church and in my in my upbringing. I was taught more that we're here to be proven and to be tested. But it was very clear that our life here is not a courtroom but a classroom. That we're here to learn, to grow, to exercise the power of creation. And that as we existed in heaven before here, anything God wanted, we wanted instantly. and that for us to really grow, it's just like Earth. We had to leave home. And it was scary. We had to go through a”19:14

“home and realize that God has been in you all. And when I slipped away that night, I realized we never really die. There is a place that is filled with love, abundance. I learned that this is an incredible opportunity to live here. Life has great meaning. And we learn big lessons here. We struggle to make a living. We struggle to educate ourselves. We struggle to get along with each other. It takes the struggles so that we can see the good. It takes the darkness so we can identify the light. We need this experience to show us where”17:49

“We come to earth to learn to grow up. We learn far more here than we can there.”9:58

“And the thing that's really interesting about the other side is that there is—somehow, I think God had to must have hardwired all of us to want to continue to grow and to learn because that's why we come into life in the first place, is because we want to learn and experience. And you can still learn on the other side, but you don't learn through experience. And one of the reasons we come to Earth is to have that actual experience. So on the other side, there's an emphasis on learning. That's why they have so many different libraries. And what's so wonderful about the other side is that you can pursue what you love to do. So if you like to hike, if you like swimming, if you like writing, if you like music, anything you like to do here, you can still do there.”21:26
