Destiny and Agendas

Destiny
Before you were born into this world, you resided within a transitional dimension called "Bardo", a sort of pre-incarnational staging area if you will. Here you were approached by your spirit guides and presented with certain future life options (if you were so inclined). Whatever the reasons you chose, you willingly, consciously and purposefully designed a general and sometimes very specific plan to follow in this forthcoming life - otherwise known as your “Soul Agenda” or "Destiny" ("astrology" attempts to delineate this).

Finding yourself upon this earthly plane, you may (perhaps) now say that you have very little or no control over your life and what happens to you in it - and to a great extent that is now true. However, when you were in spirit, you did have a big say in setting the outer parameters of what this incarnation would look like - who would be your parents, where you would be born, and so on. You additionally had a say on what would happen to you in this life - those karmic issues you wanted to work out and lessons you wanted to learn (for ex.). Here you find yourself compelled to follow through with your chosen destiny - whether you like it now or not. You have bought your ticket and gotten on the boat and cannot get off till the end of the ride.

Changing the Script
As mentioned, when you were in "Bardo", you had pre-planed the script of your own future – the one you are living out in the here and now. It is possible to make certain adjustments in that script, but this is no easy thing to do. One must first be able to re-connect to and consult with those in the spiritual hierarchy of ascended masters and archangels who have the responsibility of overseeing the spiritual development of other souls, and who have the authority to make such changes to the divine plan as necessary, as long as each and everyone’s soul agenda and contracts are fulfilled. To the human ego-mind, this may be hard to acknowledge, but there is a hierarchy of ruler-ship (or perhaps a more palliative word is stewardship) where all beings upon heaven and earth must answer to a higher authority.

So these beings hold an awesome responsibility, one that involves the destinies of many other beings besides your own. Just consider that your destiny is interwoven and shared with the destinies of many other beings, all dependent on the other to act out their roles to a “T” – it is no wonder that destiny is not an easy thing to change, but it can be done. There are situations where the Spiritual Hierarchy will support such a change, if the new change is an improvement on the old. Meaning, Spirit will never allow you to renege on your obligations, but if you chose to accelerate the timing of... or in those rare occasions surpass your soul agenda for this life time, Spirit will go out of its way and move heaven and earth to make this come about. Why? Spirit knows that when you accelerate your destiny, you are accelerating the potential destinies of all those whom you are connected to. If you do something above and beyond your souls expectations, this will act as an encouragement for other souls to do the same.

Agendas
Working out our Salvation
Your Higher Self (in coordination with the High Councils) have set aside an agenda or plan for the unfoldment of your life and ultimate salvation. Depending on the soul, these plans could be rough or very detailed. Your soul irrevocably agreed and bound itself - consciously and energetically - to all this before it even incarnated into this life (these agreements being a part of your Karmic, Spirit or God Contracts). However, it is quite common for the human self - once it comes down here and sees how difficult things are - to (try to) renege on its intention to work out its karmic stuff (whatever that may be). No matter how much your Higher Self wants you to do this healing work, if your human self says “No way!” your Higher Self would be forced to look into other (less ideal) avenues to process you (for process you must). Your soul’s agenda is something that you have contractually agreed to - and the universe will hold you to it (no ifs ands or buts). For example, you have any number of choices: You may choose to do the work “with” someone like me (one option) or Spirit will use its influence in life, apply its “screws” and do it “to” you (the final option). The happenstances of life can be the much more unpleasant and hard taskmaster, as we all know (just look around, read any newspaper, or watch the news on TV). I am being reminded of the many circumstances where people are abused, tortured, raped, “accidentally” injured, suffer any number of illnesses, and so on. In some of these instances, the soul has intentionally chosen to experience these “traumas” in order to develop and manifest (in the flesh) certain soul qualities (such as compassion, understanding, blind faith, trust, unconditional love, and so on). However, many of these instances involve people who may have initially resisted and rebelled against fulfilling their original soul agreements, and so spirit had to find other means of fulfilling them. To Spirit, it doesn’t matter how ones soul agreements are ultimately discharged, just that they are. Considering the alternatives, I do think what I offer is a more agreeable, easier, and more direct path to discharging ones karmas than most. What I offer is not free, nor is it without its difficulties, but it is an option that is available to you now.

We all have an overall agenda (or design) on how we are to work out our karma (i.e. work out our “salvation”). Your agenda (which is part of the “Divine Plan”) may involve working with a healer, or it may not. Whatever the case, there is a higher wisdom at work in it all that must be respected.

There are very good reasons why we have karma, and to removing it (or “work it out”) is usually a difficult process for a very good reason. If Spirit took this "stuff" from us before we learned the lessons from it, this would interfere with our Spirits higher agenda/plan, and cause greater harm than good (you would simply draw this stuff/negativity back into yourself with a vengeance). This is one reason why some people who have remissions from their illness - after receiving certain (symptomatic) therapies - often have a re-occurrence later (which is often more serious than before). Their being is trying to restore a condition that was removed before its time.

Spirit takes us to the brink of the darkest of nights in order to force us to go deeper into our deepest hearts... that we may come to learn how to walk by the inner light of faith, and trust in the providence of God.


Lesson Plans
Having a comfy, easy, pleasant life is not Spirits (typical) way of working out our karmas and learning important spiritual lessons. Contrary to what our egos might want... fulfilling our lower self’s wishes and desires is often the last agenda on Spirits docket. Actually, some of our greatest lessons come to us when we don’t get “our way” and don’t get what we want or desire. We may have to experience abandonment, abuse, betrayal, incarceration, illness, poverty, or some other traumatic event... to complete some karmic re-balancing. And by God, the Higher Powers that be will not interfere (at least in the way that you would think). In fact, they may even do everything they can to make these disasters happen all the faster and furious. To accelerate your suffering would be the greatest kindness Spirit could do for you, rather than allowing you to stuff your karma back down into the subconscious, hold it off at arms length, or prolong it in some mild form.... All these coping mechanisms are not going to set you free.

There are many things that happen to us while we are incarnate that we will ever wonder - why? “Why do ‘bad’ things happen to ‘good’ people?” Or “Why did the Good God Almighty allow ‘That’ to happen?”

We are placed in situations for which we have not (consciously) chosen, and suffer things that are not (apparently) of our own creating... the reasons why - we are not often told.

In life, there are many unanswered questions that remain a mystery to our limited (and uninitiated) human minds, yet, in its own time, all will be revealed and we will come to know the “whys” of life. If perhaps this time comes at the end of our “game” - when we leave the shackles of this physical incarnation – then so be it. Life is short enough so that we can all wait just a little bit more for the payoff. In the meantime, there is work to be done.
