Within the cycle of duality you have had many lives, and when you look back you will probably find that they been some of the most testing and difficult you have had. The reason is that you have gone through some of the lowest vibrations that you have ever experienced.

Those bringing Light to the Earth had the challenge of grounding it, and helping bring some balance between it and the dark energies. At times the depths of darkness were reached, and Man looked to have lost any hope of recovery.
