I don’t personally believe that’s true, that it’s to “learn lessons”, and that’s UPG that Simone posted and others ran with it, because it’s new age copium at best, and a blame the victim verbal abuse thing at worst. The attitude that we are children is egotistical nonsense.
But I would agree that it’s to gain experience, which is close but has a different and much less infantilising vibe. I think that’s what the universe is mainly about, manifesting aspects of itself (us and everything else) to learn about itself.
And yes I’m currently on board with the concept that some of us get manipulated into reincarnation here when it’s not the optimal choice for our spiritual evolution.
I posted about one of the spirits who has offered to help with that.
