Checking in.. free will ..choices.. karma

[Guest guest]

I do believe that we reincarnate and that the general parameters pertaining to a

particular reincarnation are chosen by us and others in advance and with the

intent of exposing ourselves to circumstances that will ultimately prove to be

crucial lessons. By general parameters I mean that a `suitable environment' for

specific things to occur is created. What then does finally transpire in the

said incarnation however is not predetermined and is thus a choice of our

physical aspect. If we make the wrong choice and the `pre-selected' lesson is

not learned then we have to `recycle' to do it again! I find now that the

`messages' come thick and fast and I have learnt and continue to learn the hard

way to take heed – even if the matter is trivial at face value.

 

There are many instances that, when I look back on them now, I know that I made

the wrong choices and those choices were made for the wrong reasons. The

outcomes resulted in pain of one form or another – often over a protracted

period (that goes with being a slow learner!!)

 

Moving forward one step in terms of guidance, surrender to a higher power does

not mean abdication – there will most definitely be situations where we would

like the decision to be made for us, but that isn't going to happen because we

have to learn how to integrate our physical (mind/ego) with our higher self – if

we get it right all goes well – if not we pay the consequences! That's life!

Maybe consider surrender as the integration of all aspects of our being – I am

talking about striving towards a collective consciousness here (collective in

the sense of all aspects of our being). If we get all together our higher self

(or whatever you wish to name that aspect), or the kundalini (which is also

integral to our being) and which are in closer contact with the divine and thus

more knowledgeable than our very limited minds, will guide us. We can listen to

those `messages' but we need to be receptive to them in the first place. Until

that integration is more cohesive we think that we are on a limb but that really

isn't the case – we just can't `hear' the message! Increasing receptivity comes

from closely following the safeties and practice as taught by chrism.

 

Just my take on it.
