Question: A further post on soul contracts and unconscious agreements would be very welcome.
Higgins: Prior to birth your eternal essence plans to live a life that will provide certain desired spiritual growth opportunities. These can be called learning opportunities, and they are. Nevertheless, we prefer the more correct description, spiritual growth.
Envision yourself sitting around with a bunch of other souls. You are consciousness preparing to enter a body. The other souls may be awaiting bodies, already have a body (joining you during their sleep time), or planning to remain non-physical as a support system (Spirit Guides).
You want to grow in the area of forgiveness as a step towards mastering compassion. Another in your group ponders this for awhile and finally says, “I think I can help you with that. It would help me, too, because I would get practice at maintaining emotional stability and a positive outlook.”
The group grows because so many people are involved in big and little ways. When the planning is finished all the souls involved go on about their business. When the time comes you slip into the body you planned to have with the parents you planned to have.
Much of life is impromptu but based on these agreements, these soul contracts, your spirit guides and your eternal consciousness will ‘guide’ your movements such that these contracts will be met. What you do with them when they happen, how you process them, whether you wither or grow…this is the great game that is life.
Learn to joyfully make the best of everything. Choose the life you want to live and live accordingly. When you live powerfully enough you can minimize or avoid entirely any negative events that have been pre-planned. You also maximize all positive pre-plans.

Thank you for this. I unexpectedly saw part of a soul planning meeting several years ago during a hypnotherapy session. What was revealed was a life lesson that I was working on at the time.
Thanks to you and to janonlife for your comments. It is nice to have confirmation.
Roberts Schwartz’s book, Your Soul’s Plan, is all about this. I reviewed it this past spring if you want to check it out. He did a beautiful job investigating ten different lives/ contracts, why they were made, and how they played out.
Thank you. I’ll check out the book.
Thank you so very much! That was just the way I was envisioning it, and it’s wonderful to have this confirmation from Higgins. I KNOW this is the way it works, but sometimes I forget and believe I’m going through all this on my own. Reading these words removes all semblance of alone-ness from life. ❤
