How does soul progress?

Every human being is at a particular stage of awareness and soul-level maturity. This is not a hierarchy in physical terms.  Rather, it is a series of phases of experience open to energy beings that choose to move through a range of choices.

As you begin to dissolve judgments, you slowly realize all experience has imperceptible, intrinsic value in the bigger picture.  You notice stages and actualize a journey.  This is not at all a linear evolution.  Human minds do not conceive of the nature of constant changes. How does one's soul progress?; 

1) Fear and the victim mentality teach defeat and blame.

2) Anxiety and distress highlight impatience and despair.

3) Thoughts arise in all shapes and sizes to trigger clarity.

4) Frustration and anger suddenly offer broader perspective.

5) Revelations unfold in expanding senses and faculties.

6) Positive energy underscores love and high vibrations. 

7) Experiences registered defy anything expressed in words.

8) Life lessons transmute into energy and new incarnations.

9) Souls come together or reunite in form for common purpose.

10) Spirit consciously transmute negative energy for others.
