My medium friend, Steve Spur, said, “Rest In Peace… Not Quite Yet. No, that’s when the real work starts.”
To build on his wisdom about what happens after we die, I’ve swapped Steve’s football analogy for one that resonates with what I teach deeply: Earth School. This analogy frames life as a learning journey filled with tests and eventual mastery, making the soul’s evolution even more relatable.
1. Past Life Review
2. Future Pre-Birth Planning
3. The Present Moment – This is the grade your soul is currently in. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re an old soul.
Think of your life as a term in Earth School. Whether you aced it or barely got by, once the school bell rings and you pass on, it’s time to reflect on everything you learned to advance your soul. This life is just one class in the vast curriculum of your soul’s education.
1. Your Earth School Major is chosen based on your biggest past life regret.
2. From there, your soul selects:
… that’s when the real lessons begin. You’ll review this life and all your previous ones. Did you pass the tests? Did you move closer to graduation—enlightenment? Your higher self, with perfect clarity, will help you assess your progress.
After your review, it’s time to plan your next life with your soul group—about 20-30 of your soul mates. Every detail is carefully organized, like planning the perfect academic year. Your spirit guides and elders know your strengths and weaknesses better than you do, so nothing is left to chance. You still have free will to navigate the challenges you’ve set up for yourself.
When we struggle with the material, it’s often the ego getting in the way. Stay focused. Choose the high road whenever possible. The lessons may be tough, but do your best. This life isn’t the final exam.
On the other side, you know the subjects you need to master—patience, forgiveness, unconditional love. You design lifetimes to test yourself in every possible scenario. Don’t stress—you’re not expected to pass every class in one go! It might take thousands of lifetimes, but eventually, you’ll graduate and become a master teacher yourself.
Most of your soul remains in heaven while you attend Earth School. Your higher self checks in with you during sleep and meditation, along with your spirit guides, who tutor you every day.
You can’t fail in the grand scheme. Every choice is a lesson learned, and wisdom gained. You already know the curriculum of your life. It’s all about how you apply it. The harder the lessons, the more advanced the soul.
Everything is going according to the syllabus. Hang in there and make the most of this life. Remember, you also enrolled for love and joy! All we can do is our best.
How interesting Trish. Thought provking content.
Yes, Eileen, this post is so deep, there is a lifetime of thought provoking insights. All of my blog posts will tie back to this one as the core foundation 🙂
