Just by happenstance, in case this interests anybody, this was the topic of a monthly newsletter by NDEr Nanci Danison, mailed two days ago:

Quote:Several readers responded to my last eNewsletter article by asking: "Can we plan our next incarnated life during this lifetime?" Some asked whether we Light Being souls can use conscious manifesting now to craft our next incarnation. All of them hope to be able to avoid pain and suffering the next time around. As someone who has suffered greatly this life, I empathize with this desire. Thankfully, I have the comfort of having personally experienced that all pain is gone and the suffering rendered insignificant once we leave these bodies.You can subscribe to her newsletter at nancidanison.com
I learned in the afterlife that we cannot plan our next incarnation during this incarnation. Nor can we use conscious manifesting to create physical reality in a physical life we are not currently living.
I know there are popular authors who assert that physical lives are preplanned before birth. I was given Knowings while living my afterlife that we Light Beings do not plan specific events to experience in any given incarnation. Rather, most of us have chosen a category of experiences to be our theme for incarnations and we select our physical host's parents because their lifestyle and genetics are likely to produce opportunities to pursue our theme. Our theme generally has nothing to do with any particular incarnated life. In other words, we do not incarnate to heal past wounds, or to correct past mistakes, or to evolve to higher levels. And we do not incarnate only into humans. We may choose a completely different species in another part of the universe as our next host. So our chosen theme is usually something that various different creatures have in common.
I also learned in the afterlife that the various events of an incarnated life are produced by either biology or the spiritual power of manifesting. Much of physical life is controlled by innate biology (eating, drinking, nesting, sleeping, recreating and procreating). In addition, we souls manifest physical life experiences to match what we truly and deeply believe about life, ourselves, and our place in the world. Those beliefs are crafted independently during each incarnation and are different each time. You will not have the same beliefs during your next incarnation that you have now. Nor will you remember this life or how you suffered.
If you still hate human life once you return to spiritual form in the afterlife, you can just choose not to reincarnate, or to incarnate into some other type of physical matter. You control the course of your life!
