Sojourn The Soul’s Evolution on Earth
INTRODUCTION
With telecommunications making the world a global community, it’s especially important
that we learn to appreciate the diversity of the human population and its cultures. Every day, in the
streets, in our businesses, in our classrooms, and on television, we encounter people from different
cultures and walks of life. They are our neighbours, our employees, our employers, and our
co-workers. Daily, we are challenged to understand each other and appreciate our differences.
Although cultural differences do create challenges, we need the multitude of environments
and experiences that various cultures provide for our evolution. We are enriched by having a variety
of experiences available to us. Without this diversity, our choices of lifestyle would be limited and
this would limit our evolution. Furthermore, it is integral to human evolution that people be allowed
to choose their lifestyle and not have one imposed on them. Limiting this freedom has caused great
human misery throughout history. We must begin living in harmony with each other. The ideas in
this book provide a reason for doing that as well as a way for understanding our diversity. They are
offered with hope for a better world.
Reincarnation is such an important concept in helping us understand and appreciate our
differences. Part One describes the stages of our journey on earth, which for most of us takes
hundreds of lifetimes. Each stage in this journey is unique in its perceptions, lessons, and
contributions. As we move through each stage, we see life through the lens of that stage and
encounter the lessons of those perceptions, which shape them into new perceptions. The reason for
learning about these stages is to shed light on the journey and the tasks along the way, not so that
we can better compare ourselves with others. A greater understanding of the function and
perceptions of each stage will help us relate to each other more compassionately.

PartTwo describes the impact of soul age in our lives and in the world. Soul age affects
how we parent, what we enjoy doing, our choice of work, our relationships, and many other aspects
of our life. It also affects our society's structure, politics, and religion.
Part Three contains teachings about karma, another important concept in developing an
understanding of life. It shows how our soul operates throughout our many lifetimes to deliver our
lessons and heal our psychological wounds, which prevent us from fulfilling our potentials and
experiencing our spiritual nature. These teachings are in the form of stories that show how karma
has worked in the lives of real people. They also will help you appreciate how unique every
situation is. These stories were obtained through clairaudience, or changeling. This phenomenon
has existed throughout history and is one way that knowledge is introduced into the world. Of
course, you are free to reject any of it. However, I think even the most sceptical of minds will enjoy
reading the accounts and examining their logic.
My hope in writing this is that your sojourn on earth will be made a little easier because of
the light it sheds on the human dilemma. We are travellers enmeshed now in our own perceptions of
life. But at the end, we will see that it has all been a fine journey in which we have been not only
the actors, but the originators of the story. May this serve as a roadmap for your travels.
Reincarnation and Karma
Reincarnation is the belief that we live many lifetimes in many different bodies with a
period of review between lifetimes. It proclaims that we are spirit travelling through the world of
matter, which is like a school for us. The lessons of the physical universe are many and therefore
demand many different bodies. A variety of bodies allows us to experience a variety of times,
environments, people, cultures, and challenges.
