Have you ever wondered what happens after we die? Is there a grand judgment, a void, or something more profound that our earthly minds can barely comprehend? What if the challenges, sorrows, and even the families we are born into are not random acts of fate, but meticulously chosen circumstances designed for our own evolution?
In this paradigm-shifting episode, we journey into one of the most esoteric and empowering realms of spiritual inquiry: the Life Between Lives (LBL). Guided by the deep insights of spiritual teacher and therapist "sumitjee," we pull back the veil on what happens in the state between our physical incarnations. This is not a discussion of abstract theory or religious dogma; it is a direct exploration of the soul's true nature, its eternal home, and the incredible power it wields over its own destiny.
Prepare to have your understanding of life, death, karma, and suffering fundamentally challenged. The central, earth-shattering revelation of this episode is a truth so simple yet so powerful it can dismantle a lifetime of perceived victimhood: "We are thoroughly responsible for who we are and the circumstances we find ourselves. We are the ones who do the choosing."
Once back in the LBL state, a critical phase of learning begins: the Life Review. This is not a fearsome judgment day as depicted in many religions, but a compassionate and educational process. The soul is shown a "panoramic flashback" of the life it just completed, like watching a "personalized video tape" that contains every detail, emotion, and consequence of its actions.
Here, the soul meets what is often called the "Board of Judgment" or a council of wise elders. These are not punishers, but highly advanced, loving spiritual guides. Their role is to act as "loving teachers," helping the soul assess its own performance. They don't condemn; they offer "retrospective counsel and reassurance." They help the soul understand why it faced certain challenges and how it handled them.
During this review, the soul feels everything. It viscerally experiences the joy it gave to others, but it also feels the pain it inflicted as if it were its own. This is the mechanism of true empathy and learning. It is through this unflinching but compassionate self-assessment that the soul understands its karmic trends and prepares for what comes next.
This is the most powerful and transformative teaching of the entire episode. The Life Review process reveals an undeniable truth: we are not victims of circumstance. The speaker states it unequivocally: "We are thoroughly responsible for who we are and the circumstances we find ourselves. We are the ones who do the choosing."
This radical accountability extends to every facet of our lives. The transcript reveals that we choose our parents, our careers, and the major events we will face. A soul may choose parents who are emotionally distant to learn the lesson of self-love, or a life of financial hardship to master the art of resilience. The difficult boss, the challenging partner, the unexpected illness—from the soul's perspective, these are not random misfortunes but carefully selected elements of a curriculum we designed for ourselves.
As the speaker notes, this realization is "earth-shattering" because "it takes away all the falsity." The blame games we play on Earth—blaming our parents, our society, or God—dissolve in the face of this ultimate truth. The power is, and always has been, entirely within us.
