Many are asking why souls choose to inhabit a physical body and experience life here on planet Earth. There are probably as many answers to this question as there are people. One perspective to consider is that souls, with the assistance of the spiritual realm, create intentions for what they want to accomplish in this lifetime prior to their birth. Consider the possibility that the Creator has designed people to carry their soul’s longings and intentions along with the power to manifest them energetically in their bodies.
