Survival motivation

[Gerard Zwaan]

It seems natural that after any disaster such as a tornado or earthquake (and of course, the upcomming pole shift) that people work best with a goal in mind (such as rebuilding homes, restarting civilization etc.). Considering that the human species will for the most part be non-existent on Earth within 100 years, what is the best goal to focus on when considering a small community of survivors post-shift? Survival seems the most obvious as does reproduction and continuation of the species, but once a soul's lesson is complete, as in the poleshift, metaphorically speaking: what is the point of remaining in the classroom? I ask this because I am not someone who lies to others easily, even if doing so is for a good purpose, and I want to be able to give a clear reason for persisting to my fellow survivors after the pole shift.

Why not run away as quickly as possible, on whatever excuse? As we have endlessly explained, your life, your travails are not about gaining some material advantage for your physical situation! Those who think in terms of the physical think of returning to what mankind terms modern civilization, as though this were a worthy goal. Man is in the process of poisoning his environment in his greed and careless treatment of his biosphere. He spends his spare time playing video games and becoming obese while lounging in front of the TV. Each country builds a military so that war games can be used to keep the arrogant and greedy in power. This is the civilization you think needs to be rebuilt? If this is your argument when trying to motivate potential survivors, you are speaking the wrong language and to the wrong people. Those who deem this important are not those who are primarily concerned about others.

Likewise those who think about continuing the human race as a goal are hardly concerned about helping others. This is clearly a goal of the Catholic Church, which has done much to create a population explosion on Earth. This is the cry of those who wish to boost their sense of control over others, the larger the numbers, the greater their control. This is the mark of those in the Service-to-Self. Those aware of the soul, of the larger Universe, know that the physical form assumed does not matter. Continuation of the human species is the cry of those who resist the reality that intelligent life in many forms exists throughout the Universe and is currently visiting Earth. This viewpoint is narrow, territorial, full of fear and assumes somehow that the human body is superior to all others. If this is your argument when trying to convince potential survivors, your are again speaking the wrong language and to the wrong people. Those who deem this important are not focused on helping others.

How can it be imagined that once the pole shift has been experienced, that the life lessons have been completed, learned, and now one can run away? How do you know what your lessons are? This is soul knowledge, seldom something consciously known. This is not like your superficial experience with lessons on Earth. Your exam is over, so put down your pencil and paper and rush out of the school room to play? Soul lessons are never completed, they are just augmented, moving to larger and more complex lessons as incarnations proceed and the soul grows in mass and wisdom. Where you are hoping to run away, you are merely running to your next incarnation, where you will be faced with the same dilemmas. When faced with horrible situations, do you think of the others who will be affected, and how to help them? Or will you once again think of how to run away, as quickly as possible?

When you consider it takes thousands of lifetimes to graduate to 4^th density there are souls on earth that have experiences many pole shifts

There is soul stagnating if you consider that flunking.

Soul growth varies widely. Physical growth, where an organism grows to adulthood over a set period of time, is affected by factors inhibiting or stunting growth such as lack of food or innate genetics or disease. Soul growth is not affected by such factors and can be amazingly fast or sink into a type of stagnation where no growth proceeds regardless of how many incarnations or the variety of settings presented to the soul. This is, thus, not something affected by outside forces, but is caused by something in the soul itself. Rapidly evolving souls embrace the settings they find themselves within. They are spiritually action oriented, adventurous and exploratory. This does not mean the incarnation, the physical vehicle for the soul, is athletic or taking risks! This is a spiritual attitude, and can be present in a cripple unable to move about at all.

A soul trapped in a cripple may reach out to assist others in the nursing home, attempting to interact in small ways, brightening the lives of others. This would require creativity, as well as perseverance. Yet a nurse leaning to the Service-to-Self in this facility may be stagnant, taking only those steps traditionally appropriate for a nurse, regardless of need or opportunity for interaction with others. The stagnant soul is too cautious. It fears rejection or pain or being criticized, and thus takes a narrow path, a safe path. We have mentioned that those who take the Service-to-Self path are basically immature. Just as a newborn baby focuses on itself, its needs, and only develops empathy as it experiences pain during its childhood, souls can remain stunted at the newborn level too. They refuse to give up their self-focus, and resist empathy as a distraction in this matter. There is no limit on how long a stunted or stagnant soul can sit in such a situation. It can be forever.

This quote taken from the Zeta Talk above answers that part of the question perfectly.
