Preparing for an Incarnation

Not very many people have the opportunity to be taught by a Spiritual Guide, so I asked John U.K., a Spiritual Being, why he came to me and taught me about spiritual energy (tools, outcomes, and gifts)? His response was a lesson on preparing and planning for an incarnation on earth.  

ME ASKING JOHN - "So why did you choose me to give these lessons to?"
JOHN RESPONDING TO ME - "I didn't. You asked me to be the back-up plan should the normal events not come through."
ME - "What were those normal events?"
JOHN - "You were first supposed to meet and connect with Rob who was then supposed to teach you. You met Rob, but he hadn't been taught, so could not teach you."
ME - "So what happened?"
JOHN - "You planned a couple of events. The first one was to make sure that you and Rob could meet and become connected. You set up a marker of energy. When you two had your first kiss, you both felt an energy bolt go through you. You both commented on this, and knew this meant something. It was a message to let you know you two were supposed to connect, which you did.
JOHN "Rob was supposed to then teach you about meditation and these subtle energies, but this is where things failed. Rob was supposed to have been taught by a teacher in school (Father Winter), but the teacher had been let go for teaching non-Christian concepts. As a result, Rob did not learn these concepts and was unable to share them with you. Hence, the back-up plan was initiated - me!" 
ME - "Is this normal?" 
JOHN - "It is no usual nor is it unusual. It is an option and a choice. A person can plan a little or a lot before incarnating. You had several incarnations that fell short of what you wanted or expected (due to WWII, unforeseen accidents, etc) and wanted to make sure you completed what you wanted and expected. You created back-up plans for important activities to make sure this incarnation met your expectations." 

​This brief conversation let me know about pre-earth life and the ability to plan and prepare for an incarnation. It also let me know we can set up trigger events of communication and messages (like a kiss) as a way to help guide us or make sure we pay attention to certain people or events. This conversation also let me know we can solicit other Beings to help us on our journey, should they be willing to participate and join us in this effort.
