All right, this is Isis. Now, all life beyond Earth is benevolent, because no one is studying to become something other than what they are. But here on Earth, all you human beings are doing that exact thing in the moment of your physical lives. You come here with a long and profound series of lives that have preceded you. So this is not your first life ever for any of you.

You are not really allowed by Creator to come to such a difficult and challenging planet unless you have had several lives in which you have achieved an advanced state of consciousness. By this, I do not mean that you are just smart. I mean that you apply that benevolent consciousness in every waking and, often, sleeping moment. When you come here, you are not allowed to bring that knowledge consciously, but it is available to you at the deepest levels of your sleep.

That is why sometimes as you wake up from sleep, you feel unusually refreshed not just from the experience of the rest but also from the reminder of who you are in the broader sense. Some people call this your higher self, but I don’t like to put rankings on your consciousness and personality. When you come here, you are attempting to achieve something beyond that which you have achieved before: to learn how to become a reasonably good teacher in challenging environments.
