6. If mind brain + soul (and I believe it does), this child reflects a tremendously developed soul.

Her giving, caring nature, spiritual/soul values, completely overwhelm the selfish/ego demands by the brain.

To reference the New Testament, Jesus presents a "supervisor" who hires workmen to cultivate the "vineyard" (wine symbolizes spiritual growth). So that's why souls are sent to earth, to implement spiritual values. BUT, the first group has to work a really long "day," another group finishes the work in a shorter time, a third group completes the job in no time. The members of each group get full payment, regardless of how long they worked.

Why? Because this is a parable and these aren't really humans working for money. These are souls and some are more highly developed than others, requiring less earth work to qualify for their reward. But we can all reap the same soul reward...eventually.

This wonderful young girl exemplifies Jesus' teaching on souls.
