Hey there! My understanding is that Earth started in a higher dimension, although I’ve never been given a specific number (at least the fifth for sure). At that time, creation by humans was very different, but it was geared to helping others through collaboration rather than competition, humans kept their soul knowledge, and everyone had multiple psychic gifts, like telepathy and channeling and were directly connected with their guides all the time.
This is where it gets hazy for me, I think because I don’t have the relevant background knowledge and understanding to completely grasp what happened. It seems that competition against others led to creations of harmful things and beings that led to destruction. The only way to survive the destruction was to lower the Earth to the third dimension, which had many more limitations and made communication with higher dimensions much more difficult.
The way I understand it, the humans at that time had universal knowledge without experience. So, they knew about things like jealousy and envy and that they were not good things, but since those kinds of emotions leading to harmful actions never take place in soul realms, they didn’t foresee the consequences of their actions, pushed boundaries, thinking nothing would change, and found out too late that severe consequences followed.
I’ve never been told there was violence like you asked about included at that time. What the Angels tend to focus on is the differences/limitations of falling to a lower dimension where there is separation from higher dimensions as well as between people, and fear is the go-to emotion, instead of love. In short, life became a lot harder and unpleasant. We’re in the process of making our way back.
All of this led to changes for souls, also. Now, we come to Earth to learn things first hand that include experiences to go with the knowledge, so hopefully, we can avoid another fall. I don’t have a super clear understanding, because just like the souls who had knowledge without experience, I wasn’t there and my understanding is kind of out of context because the world is so different now than then.
Hope that answers your questions, which I’m happy to address as best I can. Blessings!
