So if the child is but a physical shell and its soul is way more ancient, then why pity the little child getting raped? Especially since, according to this theory:

A physical shell being raped and/or killed can be an event on the soul's journey to enlightenment.

So why consider a rape or murder something bad if it can lead to enlightment? And why punish the rapist or murderer then, who only helped that soul on its way to enlightment?

Some key phrases there are "in its own perfect time," and "for the highest good of all." I can put forth the desire for all suffering in the world to end. If it isn't the best time for that to happen or it should not happen for some reason beyond the my understanding, it won't happen.

So, in fact you don't matter. Maybe you put for desires at the right moment, maybe not. Which comes down to luck or chance again. Since YOU're unable to decide when something should happen.
