no one is here without purpose
we all have a purpose in life
this World is the school for the soul
we are here to learn
we are here to grow
we must learn that
we are more than our bodies
we are souls that happen
to have bodies
not bodies
that happen
to have souls
death is not the end
but only a transition
though our bodies
crumble and die
our true Self
persists and simply moves
into a new body
these are only two lessons
of the thousands we must learn
and until we do
we will persist
returning continuously
to this great schoolhouse
where the truly important lessons
are learned

Very wise affirmations of progress we each make in our own lives.
Well written and it certainly provides food for thought. I'm not sure if I believe in reincarnation but I've got an open mind and will entertain all possibilities. Thanks for sharing.

Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
Intuitively, I know I've lived many lifetimes, and none more interesting than the one I'm living now. However, being born an old soul somehow did not excuse me from the same job I share with you and that is learning to craft a positive attitude about
