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.
