One thing I can assure you of is that almost no souls ever go backward. All go forward-maybe an inch at a time, maybe in micrometers, but we all go forward in life. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth it. But you absorbed something . You might not have thought you did, but you were there, putting in your time, and something seeped in.
Nothing is lost.
Nothing is ever lost. Human beings carry within themselves heaven or hell-sometimes both. I think that children should be taught at a very early age that they have the power to create either a very happy life or a very disastrous one. That's the reason some people can go through a traumatic situation and come out whole, while others crumble at the slightest thing. They've never found within themselves the control factor or the supremacy of their own God-center to know that they'll survive no matter what is sent to them.
