You all chose to be incarnate

No doubt.  Many are here (and have been here for a long time) to anchor the light.  The warriors are the ones who found themselves incarnating into some terrible traumas as a way of trying to transmute the darkness, and yes, as actual warriors trying to do good by people (like you in the military, and many others in the military).  Thankfully though, the need for warriors is lessening and the need for healers is growing.  I'm just beginning to step into my healing capabilities.  Not having lifetimes of trauma here on Earth puts me in a good position to be hold a lot of space of total love and compassion for those in need of healing without being emotionally invested in a certain outcome or being emotionally biased toward certain people or entities or anything.  I'm becoming ever more fascinated by learning from people and their experiences as well because I can't personally relate, and all that emotion (even negative) is the source of us humans' immense potential and power.
