The case history explains how just pursuing money or success fail to satisfy the soul's purpose of incarnation . The soul always seeks to create happiness and a rise in soul frequency with its efforts on earth and feels like a failure if it dies due to negative energy influence which create diseases in the body or depression in the mind. The book is a key guide to achieving happiness in everyday life, along with the hard work we put in to achieve success. By incorporating the guidance given by celestial guides, we can easily change our core thinking patterns to positive, which is essential for staying healthy and happy . We evolve above suffering by focusing on our overall life purpose, instead of focusing on short-term goals of money, success or fame; which make us feel more negative or stressed than positive or peaceful on an average. Focusing on soul lessons and correcting previous wrongs ensures that our soul evolves to a higher positive frequency, where negativity cannot affect as much. Essentially, from the soul's perspective of learning the process of creation, we form equations in every area of life, and we keep playing with varying intensities of energies to arrive at a solution. The solution is the outcome-the desire we want to manifest, which manifests only when we find the correct balance between the negative and positive frequencies. The solution or outcome is always positive because the manifestation of the desire is supposed to bring happiness in our lives. A manifestation of a desire in a way that does not increase our level of happiness means that we have solved the energy equation wrongly and we have to repeat the experiment in the same life-time or in another life-time. Therefore, we have to re-experience the negative situation till we find a way to offset it which creates positive energy. The soul knows theoretically that a negative situation can only be overcome by focusing on a positive outcome. But, this is practically realized when we worry through a negative situation and increase our problem than resolving it. Viewing past lives helps us understand where we are habitual to making mistakes and erasing the earlier pattern from the subconscious mind; thus, enabling ourselves to make fresh choices without fear of failure predominating us from the past . Success, health or happiness are realized when we make expectations of happiness, by changing values, beliefs and superstitions which have prevented us from being happy, as a human race.
