In Doubt! (Page 1 of 2)

WWW, yeah it sucks when you get into the *what ifs*.  I was reading Steve Gamble at https://www.equilibra.uk.com/shop8.shtml , and he talks about how the plane of existence that most people go to when they die is just a false mock-up, that karma and reincarnation is false info given to us to keep us incarnating back on this planet in this dimention. So that got me thinking...if that were true, then the pre-determined path that I was to follow after incarnating here would have been decided under false information...so does that mean that I DID deviate and thats where I am now, or am I still on the pre-agreement path?   I just think its all so damn UNFAIR!!!!   Its those *what ifs* that keep throwing me off.  Im one of those people that just hates being unprepared, I like to know what Im up against . Im sorry this probably didnt help you....

We can never truly know if and what we agreed to before birth; just as we can never truly know whether or not everything is already laid out for us.  But maybe it doesn't really matter either way.

What if we just live life to its fullest potential?  Live life as though we can affect the now and that we can create our own paths?  We make our choices as we go along – and yes to a greater or lesser extent many of those choices can be influenced by what came before this moment - in whatever context you choose to look at that.  But that needn’t cause us to be dragged away from our present moment, or stop us from taking control over our life.

Way I see it - believing in a pre-planned life is extremely disempowering.  And even if it is all pre-planned, why would we have to live as though it is?  I feel giving in to such an idea is an excuse to hand away your personal power – yes, even if that power is a fleeting illusion.

Everything I have seen in life indicates to me that those who live an unconscious unaware existence simply get dragged along in the stream of what is occurring around them – quite often they feel life has control over them.  Where as those that come to consciousness and awareness, who live from extreme presence, take a degree of control over their destiny.  They shape their lives according to where they want to go.  Whether they make it or not isn't really relevant - it's the shear power they put into their journey that I always find awe-inspiring.

If there was any pre-life agreement, perhaps it was that we will have free choice whether or not to use our free-will – and all which that would entail.

People often tend to talk about what they “believe" , as opposed to what they feel.  A belief is an idea that we needn’t hold onto.  If something is true then it doesn’t require our belief.  If you find your belief wavering, then you are already starting to seek your own answers.  But that means you have to step out into the unknown – where you have to feel and observe.  That is far harder, yet far more fulfilling then simply “believing" .

Oops!

Sometimes in order to get our attention our Higher-Selves lead us down a dead end.   This is not to say that our HS's are misleading us, but it's more like a tap on the shoulder.   When you reach a point where everything seems to stop and you can figure out what to do or where to go, the only thing left is to go within.

Rather than ask for outward answers to this question you have, ask for inner ones.  Your HS is very easy to perceive, but you have to start somewhere.    Usually a tough question like this is a good starting place because you really want a good answer. 

All you need to do is say something like "Higher-Self, please show me a solution to this problem (state the problem), please help to to easily understand how this all falls together".

If you say that once a day, coincidences will happen, maybe even instantly, that will lead you to a fantastic answer, provided you stay aware enough to see it.

pocketable-L,
You would be surprized how many people ignore all the little taps on the shoulder from their HS's.   They do this throughout their whole lives.   Never raising their awareness to the point of even thinking there might be a Higher-Self.   

I don't have all the answers here, when it comes to our HS or our destinies.    The thing I wish to get across is that worth the trouble to begin the movement in the direction of merging or become more aware of this higher part of us.   And if there's one being that can give you great answers on your own destiny, this is obviously our HS's.

Wow!

Thank you so much for your inputs.  I was not expecting this kind of response, but what do I know?  It is time to look within and ask the questions that have brought me to this point.  The answers are there waiting for me......... I just got to look deep and with conviction. 

Lemmni,

Thanks for your remarks but I am just as wise as Joe Piscopo and Danny de Vito on "Wise Guys".  Yikes!

Regards and Light to all of you,

Lee

I've always had a deep conviction regarding freewill.  And I've always felt destiny.  Somehow I've managed to juggle these two polar concepts without major incident.

Total predestiny seems to contradict too many metaphysical truths without explanatory backpedaling or rationalizations. 

For instance, if all is totally predestined, then what is the use of the law of resonance?  (Like attracts like).  Why would a completely controlled universe need souls to attract or repel each other?  Why not simply arrange the pieces so that the right souls come into contact with each other and fulfill their scripts through proximity?   

Also, if you accept that evolution is a journey towards Oneness, then why does the Universe predestine so many souls to miss the onramp to Oneness?  ...You can argue, Well, She works in mysterious ways; maybe that guy's path towards Oneness is--somehow--through being a psychopath rapist, etc. etc.  But that's backpedaling; that's inventing an explanation to fit both your personal belief and the facts instead of re-examining your beliefs.

Of course, I don't know any of this for sure.  But these are my feelings.
