A good way of consolidating these life lessons in yourself, is by its prompt and precise application in life. In this way these life lessons will become a part of your character and tendencies which passes from life to life. You are more apt to do in your future life, what you do regularly now.
A second way would be by spreading this knowledge to others, so that others could benefit from it instead of learning by hard experiences.
It is a law of nature that what you give is what you get back.

There is always a choice, for it is your choice that led you to where you are now.
Anyhow in my initial reply I was implying as humans we are forgetful of our true nature, this means we easily get entangled with the body and ego.
It is up to us whether we decide to explore and find ourselves or not, and let me tell you on Earth this is a great opportunity to do so.

Your last statement is correct, the time is now so to speak so we may think there is past future and present when in reality there is only now.
This is why the best time to take action is now as waiting around achieves nothing and only causes delays and further complications. You want to solve something then work on it now not later and trust me when I say this you will see the divine at work, as you accomplish what you never thought was possible.

Thanks Ajay00. That's a good idea. I know have to keep repeating some lessons until they finally stick with me.   |

You don't need to...what you need to 'get' will come to you!
It took me 3 lives that I know of to learn just ONE simple solitary thing!
Don't gossip in any way what-so-ever! Doesn't matter
if you call it venting or if it is completely TRUE...you just... do... NOT!
I think I got it 95% of the time, now. 
My God, I am so dense!!
I got the 'do not rape, murder and pillage'...but the simple gossip
is/was a toughy!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I think it depends on well we have learnt the lessons. After all, we do repeat same mistakes over and over again in one life itself. It also depends on how well we are able to generalize our lessons learnt. It is one thing to learn that we should not hate somebody, say Mr. or Ms. x, but it quite another thing to rid ourselves of our capacity to hate. |
