Power of freedom of choice

QUESTION: Masters, I have been made aware an exit point is available for me to return home should I choose to later this year. The exit point is linked to my no longer needing to be here to look after another I incarnate with often. I was also made aware that I have the choice to not take this exit point should I wish to remain in this lifetime. Is this the first lifetime I’ve been given the conscious awareness of this and been allowed to be involved with the decision that is not being taken only by the higher self? ~Jay, United Kingdom

ANSWER:  Souls who have made many trips to Earth have a tendency to be more aware of their own essence as a soul and the powers that allow them to do whatever it is they wish to do. Those – like you – who have contracted to come here for the purpose of providing support for one or more other souls may reach a point where they have completed the agreements.

Some of these souls have other lessons they wish to learn independent of the agreements and then they move into their own work. You had completed the couple of little things you wished to do before entering into the larger contracts. You have completed all the things you felt needed to be done in this lifetime as determined by you before you came down. That does not mean you have to leave unless that is what you desire. You may have become interested in things that were not on your radar before choosing this life and wish to explore them more fully.

You have reached a degree of enlightenment in this life which clears blockages out of the way, allowing you to “remember” about yourself in your amorphous soul energy. This is what has brought the possibilities into your conscious awareness. Previously you had some degree of intuition as to whether it was time to move on, but you didn’t fully appreciate your choice in the matter.

The choice of when to return Home has always been your higher self’s (soul) decision. You have just never been able to get enough out of the duality, and the negative energies of the third dimension, to transfer the usually unconscious awareness into a conscious wakefulness.

What happens in your future is completely up to you, for all souls have the freedom to choose what their life will be like.
