Incarnate souls that originally belong to the spirit world are sent into the material universe because they have become envious of the Lord. But, in truth, the major reason why God expelled some souls from his kingdom is because they rejected the service of love and devotion they had to offer him, the eternal duty of all souls. They had to fall immediately into the prison of this material world and accept a material body.
