I Hope that this piece of information from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, will give a picture of our original existence before we became involved in the earth plane and the cycle of reincarnation.    

The Council: In a time before the material manifestation existed, all of you existed with and in this Divine Essence, because your ultimate existence was to have the quality of this Divine Source, not the quantity but the quality.  You were given absolute free will.  This is the expression of total love from this Divine Source.  The Divine Source does not wish that you should be subjective or subservient to His Will because it should be but that you should be subservient to that Divine Will of your own choice.  The Divine Will for you is that you gain the quality that God the Father has. Since you are only a part of Him who created all, you can never be equal in quantity.  The patience of this Infinite Father is unending, but since He has given you free will, all things that transpire in the material manifestation and in those levels beyond are governed more by your choice than by what He commands.  Some have truly moved closer through the eons of time; others have moved further away.  Some have tried to bring light to the material manifestation, while others have tried to encrust it in even darker abysses and darker clothing.
