Hi Kim,

You asked, "Why does Spirit want to experience life all the different ways presented on the planes?"

You speak as though Spirit were something apart from you. You are the eternal spirit. You are the manifestation and instrument of the Higher Power. When you speak of Spirit, you're speaking about you, the Kim who thinks and wonders and writes on this forum.

We are evolving. Think of it like this. When you first learned something monumental and life-changing, such as the fact that your life is eternal, you changed inside. You became a different person. That change in understanding spread throughout your mind so your perspectives were all different. You had grown.

That growth takes place slowly, over time. You make discoveries and you become different. That weaves through your life and you believe, act, and think differently. The only way for consciousness, your mind, society, and the mind of God can grow and change is for these small discoveries to occur, one person and one discovery at a time.

And so, we go through our lives learning so we can grow and become different. Just as an oak tree has to grow from an acorn thorugh a sapling into a majestic tree, gradually, over time, we can only grow in spirit gradually, over time. That requires experiences, discoveries, and incubation of what we've learned.

You asked,"Will some planes live in the stone age and some pretty far out?"

Yes, there are planes at every level of spiritual development. However, the "stone age" isn't really a plane. There are planes with people who are in a spiritual stone age. They are spiritually immature, and they need to grow from where they are into spiritual maturity. Some of them today are members of the Academy of Science, brilliant in understanding the scenery hat is the Earth, but ignorant about the drama that is eternal life. They are spiritual infants. They will stay on planes that are primitive spiritually until they're able to grow.

You wrote, "Will Spirit, who occupies my body, be unharmonious on some of the planes that he or she lives on?"

Kim, you are the spirit. There isn't someone else in your body. You and I are spirits communicating. We happen to be using physical bodies, but the bodies aren't important. They're just vehicles. Only you, Kim, occupy your body, and you're eternal.

Love and peace, Craig
