As we leave this plane and are drawn to those who have attained spiritual wisdom, our development continues. Then, even if we do reincarnate on earth, we will be fulfilling ourselves in a sphere more closely akin to a spiritual activity. Those who have not gone far enough spiritually will fulfill themselves culturally, educationally, artistically, or musically, but if they are developed spiritually, there will be a spiritual function for them to perform, even before they incarnate, because there are influences working behind the scenes that animate those who are on the spiritual path here.
