Abraham-Hicks says:

“See this world as a free world, and see everyone in it as trying through their individual experiences to find their way back to that calling, back to that Source Energy. And even though there are billions of them going about it in a way that is different than you would choose, there’s no right or wrong way. In other words, bless them all, and get on with the only thing you have any power about, which is opening or closing your vortex to your natural state of Well-Being.”

…my interpretation is:

All Souls are going along their life experience saying something like “Don’t mess with my path, there is a gem on this path that I need to find…if you take me off my path, I will not find it”
