I'd be interested to hear your personal answers to these questions:

Is it possible to feel negative emotions in the heavenly realms? I've heard differing accounts of this

Do you think your soul selected and agreed to this lifetime or was assigned to it?

Is your goal to become like Jesus, to spend all your time only helping people? Do you think Jesus is happy? I'd like to think of him going to parties sometimes or having close friends. Is your ultimate goal to be free from need, spending your time only in service?

And finally, if you could move to a heaven where you never had to suffer again, would you go there?

Quote: "Is it possible to feel negative emotions in the heavenly realms?"

As you used the plural, "heavenly realms", I remember I saw some places which indeed were partly heavenly, but had as well attributes of a hell, or at least a neurotic touch, like everything had to be clean, and everyone had to praise the Lord at certain points of time and such. So, there can be negative emotions in those places (Bruce called them "hollow heavens") once an inhabitant is in conflict with particular things in it. But I think there are realms where there is not such a thing as negative emotions; maybe not even emotions at all.

I have seen in meditation that I didn't want to come back, before this life, but someone said to me "You know that it is necessary" or so, well, and here I am. Don't know how detailed the planning is of a next life.

It had been an ideal for me, I grew up in a Christian surrounding. I have realized though that I can't do anything which goes beyond my power, even when a part of me is telling me I had to do it, as it would be my duty. It won't work when I'm not ready for it. My goal would be to really know what's my task, to really know that I can accomplish it, to know that it would be a meaningful task for the good of all, and to enjoy being involved in it.

Of course I would, if this would really be so. Some perhaps would say, you don't learn anything without suffering. So it might eventually become boring being stuck this way. But, the proposition was "no suffering", so you won't really get bored, as this would mean suffering.

When you say further than there, do you mean that region on Bruce's map that is further than the Hollow Heavens?
Looking at that region makes me think of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, having transcended all limits.
