This is a very critical phase when decisions have to be made as 2to what kind of earthly life should each one of the returning souls lead in its next birth. There is a ‘log-book’ for each soul that has a complete record of all the past earthly experiences and lessons, which is comparable to a warehouse of accumulated karma, which we call sanchitakarma. It is a reservoir of stored experiences and tendencies, karmas and vasanas, good as well as bad within the relative plane of earthly experience, deep down the subconscious. With the help and guidance available in abundance there, the soul would gather onto itself the best possible combination of unresolved karmas from this storehouse and package it, prarabdhakarma. This will provide the soul with opportunities to dispose of some karmic deficits in the next incarnation. Helped by astral guides, the souls make wise choices for the ensuing earthly life, be it new lessons or revisions, another opportunity given to free itself from ignorance and bondage.
Just as a director of a theatre production would assign different roles to different actors, appropriate to their experience and attributes, souls too get channelled in the ‘back-stage’ of their astral interlude to take up befitting roles for their next earthly sojourn, as if tailor-made for their own spiritual needs. For example, if a man is extremely cruel to his wife in this life, he could possibly be born as a woman in the next life to suffer in the hands of a cruel man! Such ‘eye for an eye’ and ‘tooth for a tooth’ kind of reaction need not happen to every soul, as there are many other ways and opportunities given to neutralise past karmas. Christ too has said, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Souls undergo streaming according to their needs at the ‘curriculum zone,’ getting another chance to get things right. Therefore, no soul is damned, but opportunities are given repeatedly for mastering these lessons until fullness of enlightenment or true freedom is attained. Armed with the ‘script’ for their next incarnation, the souls move on to the ‘practicing and ‘rehearsing’ zone and begin to memorise and accept the assignment for the next life, fully aware that it is for their highest good. As the time nears for the souls to reincarnate they move to the penultimate stage of finding a suitable body, which is merely a costume.
