the lessons learned.....its the lessons NOT learned that keep us on the round-a-bout and wont let us exit to a better place on this journey. nothing learned from a past life is going to benefit us in this life as far as wealth or superiority, if it does then the lesson was missed to begin with. the pursuit of fame and fortune, wealth, status etc. is all ego driven and only of this world, it has no benefit whatsoever on the journey. the destination cannot be bought or given to you. it will only be presented once you have learned to trust the universe, set yourself free of the chains that imprison you like the materialistic useless things you think you own or need but are actually your master. once you let go of the ego, the pride, the conflict, and start seeing and trusting the universe you will realize you are rich in a way that is unexplainable. needs will be met, wishes granted, happiness reached. the lessons of humility, love, brotherhood, oneness. will be presented over and over and over. the path you take with each lesson will determine what you take into the next lifetime and how long your stay will be on this ride
