and the evolutionary growth pattern is not fully seen without seeing the steps from Point A though Points B + C
I believe this is also "how it works" . . . we see, most easily, that one lifetime is a full start to stop piece, with no other elements at work
. . . however, this may not be true
what if "sets" were something akin to collective tapestries of growth/challenges, one step forward, two steps back, then forward once more
what would this mean in terms of personal healing and evolution?
this would also shed quite a bit of light on that ever-elusive concept of "the twin flame" and "soul groups"
a collection of souls, thrown, for a time into a triptych, "working it out" from multiple angles
life is not a straight line; it is more like a boomerang, that goes out and comes back
with residue aquired like bugs on the windshield from each flight -- but always, ultimately and inevitably, back to the same "root source"
