Gregory,
From my POV, a soul needs certain experiences to lead them back to the source.
I think that is totally confused.
The soul needs expression to experience what lies before it in its incarnation, to drive us forward, to go on and experience, the god force is in the 'going' not in the 'being' . Its always connected to source, the 'certain experiences' are about the "already connected to 'source' soul" and how it navigates and manifests its needs throughout incarnation. Not to find experiences to lead it backwards to where it is already connected.
Perhaps you mean lead the conscious ego to connect with the soul's need of expression through the incarnated life ?
I always find people's claims of prediction interesting ... like martial arts (another of my 'hobbies') , vocal claims can easily be tested on the physical. ... Oh, ... yeah ... you will just say it will happen 'eventually' because the time factor is .... and you also threw in a caveat that you are 'generally' right. Is the Akashic record foggy sometimes ?
I too can predict things by reading the Akashic record, except I am not always right and cant get the timing right ... sometimes I am wrong but other times it might happen any time in the future ....
If the 'Akashic' record exists in the 'sky' or 'aether' and one can claim to read it ... thats easily tested.
... one either delivers the goods ... or an 'excuse' .
" experiences vary from person to person, but we all tend to have similar experiences "
I have no idea what that means ... unless it means that all have different experiences but they lie within the field of human experiences because we are all human.
