Thanks for being respectful but I do have to respectfully disagree that we plan our exact traumas. I do think that many older souls have to plan lives where they have to reclaim power lost from previous lives and that means there is a risk of trauma shaking you up to get there, but free will comes in and it can unfortunately have the opposite affect. I also don’t believe that if you abused someone in a lifetime the role will reverse and they will abuse you. I think karma works differently whereas you’ll be in situations where you will be made to feel what the individual abused felt like when you abused them. I mean I think of it as if you are ready to play a football game and your goal is to win a game that can become brutal. There is a good chance you’ll get clobbered and injured as you play, but you don’t plan to get clobbered and injured. That’s my take on trauma. The risk is there in life, especially if you are a mature or older soul aside from unexpected trauma due to natural disaster and random attacks.
