The next question in Quora about angels and jinn caught my attention:
This is another noteworthy question on Quora:
"Children claim that they chose their parents when they talk about reincarnation. If we get to choose our parents, why do some of us choose bad parents?"

I assume that if the choice of parents is given, then this choice is very limited. In other words, a soul may have such conditions that it chooses a lesser evil from a group of greater ones.
We must also remember that, under the influence of the Universal Law of Karma, we have a very limited choice of a future life. For example, a student who goes to school cannot change the curriculum or teachers at school, but he might have some limited choice of subjects to study.
We also have to be aware, that young human souls coming from the animal world do not have any choice for the future conditions of their lives as their consciousness is very low.
Of course, the higher the consciousness, the more difficult challenges a soul can overcome, and one can choose bad parents to teach them a lesson. However, I think this is a very rare case.
Irina Nola, past life regression therapist, explains the karmic aspect of relationships very well when answering this question.
There are a lot of reasons why a soul can chose ‘difficult” or ‘nightmarish” parents:
I came across this great discussion on Quora the other day, and I couldn’t help but join the conversation.
Here’s what someone asked:
“Is the spirit world (afterlife) just as corrupted as the earthly realm? Why would some spiritual beings want to control other spirits and trap them in a cycle of endless unconscious incarnations? How do we break free?”
Short answer: No, the Subtle World is not corrupted.
But let’s break it down properly.

Most likely, the author of that question refers to the Subtle World, the place where a soul arrives after physical death.
As far as I know, the most difficult platform for the soul is actually here—the material world—where we come to gain the missing energies and to determine our Spiritual Direction.
Why such challenges? Why don’t we live in “heaven on Earth”?
Because this is a school for souls with relatively low consciousness. As a soul’s awareness grows and it achieves results that align it with the hierarchy of either Light or Darkness, it moves to higher levels of reality that follow very different principles than those of our physical world.
The real work happens here, precisely because it’s hard.
To add drama, sci-fi writers—including myself—sometimes use intense phrases like “trapped in reincarnation”. But in truth, reincarnation is a brilliant tool for human development.
Think of it like project management. Have you noticed that when you break a long, overwhelming project into phases, it’s easier to handle? Same with life. Dividing the soul’s long journey into multiple lives produces better results.
Plus, reincarnation brings diversity of experience:
Male and female incarnations
Different countries, cultures, and situations
Even lifetimes on different planets
For example, in my novel Redemption, the main character—an ambitious high-tech executive—recalls past lives in a nameless country, France, Italy, and Russia, incarnating as both a woman and a man. These experiences are vital for the growth of the soul.
The truth is, we aren’t trapped by other beings.
We are “trapped” by our own imperfections.
As soon as a soul gathers all the necessary energies and makes a clear, unwavering Spiritual Choice—toward Light or Darkness—the need to return to physical incarnations disappears. The cycle ends.
It’s not a prison; it’s a school. Graduation happens when the soul is truly ready.

A Puppet of Darkness—When Free Will is Sold, Who Pulls the Strings? |
We learned that, having blackened his soul, Mr. Putin made two Spiritual Choices in favor of Darkness, and Satan rewarded him with money and power.
You might think that the CEO of Darkness is a nice and generous guy. But is it really so?
This is far from true, as Satan is a main representative of the Values of Darkness, and his main goal is to enslave as many souls as possible.
The main goal of Satan is to get a soul into his complete submission, i.e. make it a slave. One or two Spiritual Choices are not enough for this.
Therefore, Satan throws more and more bait to make a deal in which a person gives up his Free Will.

Fig 1. Pu's addiction to Satan's hooks. |
Isn't the subjugation of supernatural forces what Pu gave up his Free Will to Satan for?
And the loss of Free Will means that All Decision Making is given away to Satan.
![]() |
Fig. 2 Loss of Free Will by Pu |
Since the entire decision-making process is outsourced to Satan, the CEO of Darkness must also equip His servant with ideas.
He especially mocks those who, puffed up with their own pride, consume with great appetite everything that Satan throws at them.
Among other things:
If the evil Stalin had a utopian ideal of the victory of the working people over the bourgeoisie, he was worthy of a unique symbol - the hammer and sickle.

And the evil Hitler, fighting for the prosperity of the Aryan (German) race, deserved from Satan a hooked cross-swastika.
![]() |
@ |
And which symbol Mr. Pu deserve?
It looks like he didn't deserve anything else than just one of the letters from Latin alphabets, i.e. letter Z, given to him by Satan as a joke - Zombie ;).
![]() |
@ |
And the letter V, you ask?
![]() |
@ |
Well, if Z is for Zombie, then the letter V is for Voodoo, which confirms Pu's addiction to black magic and a keen interest in Africa.
So, you may be asking, "If Satan commands Putin, does that mean the world is in the greatest danger?"
Multiple Spiritual Choices of Mr. Pu towards Darkness:
1. Choice for Money
2. Choice for Power
3. Choice for Magic
Pu's final Spiritual Choice towards Darkness led to the Loss of Free Will and Complete dependence on Satan.
The metaphysical realm is like the hidden part of an iceberg—we believe it exists, but we cannot see it.
And only the Higher Ones with their perfect vision can see the “true” picture of the metaphysical realm and draw their final conclusions.
However, for our part, we can estimate the hidden part by making metaphysical analysis based on available data and drawing conclusions.
Note: The delay in publishing Part B of this article was due to receiving disguised 'silent' calls following the publication of Part A.

This is another fascinating soul question on Quora.
Soul selling is a simplified name for the complex process of transferring Free Will from a person to Satan*.
The process of selling the soul is well described by a number of authors, including Goethe in the tragic play "Faust";
![]() |
Faust |
Oscar Wilde, in his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the film "Dorian Gray"
![]() |
The Picture of Dorian Gray |
and me, in the novella Tomo and The Soul Catchers, which became a base for the screenplay Heaven**.
![]() |
Tomo and The Soul Catchers |
For example, due to such a deal, Faust got limitless knowledge, Dorian - eternal youth, and Cora - seductive beauty.
So, in principle, we can say that these guys got what they wanted from earthly pleasures. However, is everything so simple? Or are there side effects?
Yes, they are.
The soul becomes a slave of the Head of Darkness*, losing its own "voice", the freedom of further choice and decision-making.
The good news is that the soul will not be punished for its "bad deeds", meaning it avoids karma. On the other hand, it will forever lose the opportunity to become the Creator, "produce" souls, and the opportunity to become "first", since Satan (which the soul eventually become) is always "second" to God.
Also, for a short time, the soul avoids Degradation and the risk of spiritual death for the loss of energy. On the other hand, it will run the risk of spiritual death as a punishment for cruelty.
A young soul might say, "I enjoy earthly pleasures, I hate making decisions and don't like karma at all, so this might be great for me." But in fact, Satan's "kindness" is a well-disguised evil, and in all of the stories listed, the protagonist encounters side effects shortly after the deal and is deeply disappointed in what he/she has done.
After the soul's Earthly existence, Satan will continue to “work” on it sending it to study or labor in the hardened worlds to achieve the energies and goals that He wants.
The soul will not have the opportunity to choose a planet, body, etc., and the habitat and shell of the body can be really terrible.
One way or another, the process of selling the soul or the temptations of Satan stretches over hundreds or even thousands of incarnations and does not necessarily end with a deal, since the majority of souls still choose the direction to the Light, leaving Satan empty-handed. This case of Satan chasing the soul for five incarnations, is well described by me in the screenplay Redemption**, based on my novel Redemption.

This is another major lighting theme that appeared on Quora.
Why is it important? Because some young souls may mistakenly think that everything is permitted and that there is no punishment for crimes.
