Every struggle, challenge, encounter, situation and choice we face in our life is an opportunity to learn. They each are reflecting that which exists within us which needs to be cleared and balanced.
It is our perception which determines how we handle them and the results we experience. Do I get angry and try to force others to my perspective or do I look at it as an opportunity to find common ground and understanding instead of focusing on our differences. Often we are both seeking the same outcome it is just that our experiences and beliefs have us looking at the same situation from differing perspectives.
Think about an accident. You can have 5 witnesses and they may each have seen the accident differently. Perhaps 2 may have agreed to a common perspective but usually each person has seen the situation and based on how they see it from where they stood, if they have experienced something similar and the outcome of that event or the others beliefs and perceptions they hold. For example maybe the person driving one car was of an ethnicity or race they have a prejudice against so they will perceive them at fault even if they were not. Perhaps one driver is elderly and they either feel sorry for them, or believe the elderly are not able to drive safely. Perhaps one driver is young and they think well they were probably texting instead of paying attention and see the from that perspective. So from the place where they stood and what they could see and the perceptions and experiences they have had in life they have developed a story of how it must have happened.
What we learn as we raise our vibration and let go of old beliefs, experiences and fears is that everything has purpose. I am not saying that an accident is predestined, although it may have been the part of one’s persons plan for their life to learn something and others were guided to that spot in order to participate or learn something.
In my life I learned early that my karma would be completed by the age of 33, and that I would have the opportunity to either stay and be of service or leave. I never really focused upon that fact, but it came back to focus on my 33rd birthday. My husband and I had only been married 4 months. Due to starting a new job we were not able to take time for a honeymoon only a weekend to get married but on my birthday we were able to take an extended weekend. So we went to the river. There were casino’s there and while we were waiting for the showboat ride we were gambling a bit and I won. Then they still gave coins. However, the show boat was going to leave and we didn’t have time to cash out so we put the money in my purse and my husbands pockets. After we got off the showboat we decided to go back to our hotel. The easiest way was by shuttle boat. The shuttle boat would come up to the dock and throttle up to stay there while loading. This particular dock was the one in front of the showboat between the showboat and the dam. At night they would release water from the dam and so the current was swift. When the man pulled up people got on the boat it was a canopy boat. He had said it was going across the river to the parking lot on the Arizona side. He had a lot seats left and asked us where we were going. We told him to our hotel and he said to get on and he would go there after he dropped off the others. I hesitated for as I looked at him I thought he looked like death , or the being Charon, the driver of the boat on the river Styx. As he throttled down but the engine died but we didn’t think anything about it because there was a dock behind us and we would simply bump into the dock. What none of the passengers realized but the driver did was that the showboat having a long ramp on the front would cause problems. When we bumped the dock, the boat went sideways and the showboat ramp caught the canopy, lifting it enough that the swift current flipped the boat dumping everyone into the swift current. As we were about to bump the dock the driver yelled jump and jumped off the boat. The rest of us were fighting for our lives. For me, I went under our boat and as the current began to fold the boat in half I was caught between the sides and it was crushing my ribs. I thought “I don’t want to die like this. Help me” I was immediately free but now I was under the showboat and had been holding my breath and now had to continue to try to get out from under. I popped up down river in front of another casino. There were people lining the railings of the casinos watching but 1 man ran down to yell at me to swim towards him and the current would bring me to him. I did and he saved my life. I am not a good swimmer but thankfully I am boyant. My husband and I both lived as did everyone else with differing levels of injury.
The prediction I was given at 16 was fulfilled upon my 33rd birthday. I chose to stay instead of go. At any point my husband and I could have not gone to the river at that time. Any of those people could have decided not to be there. The driver could have not offered to take us or I could have made the choice in that instance not to go on his boat. Had I made that choice, I would still be here and serving the Divine, but I would have saved myself the experience of near death. Would my not having gone changed the outcome for the others? I don’t believe so, but I am not wise enough to know for sure. As I thought of that question I was reminded of 9/11. There were many who made the choice not to go to work or not to get on the planes involved. There choices did not change the experience for others or the world but it changed the world for them.
We can only make the best choice in each moment that we possibly can. If we learn to go within to our heart and center to ask our Higher Self to guide us we have the chance of making the best possible choice for ourselves and all involved. HOWEVER, if we make a poor choice, then the next time that comes around don’t make that choice for you have learned from the prior experience.
DON’T beat yourself up for having made a choice that wasn’t of the best outcome, life is not about judging yourself and others for your choice, but learning how to do better and to reconnect to our inner guidance. We are loved unconditionally. Our Creator, guides and teachers, our Higher Self are always trying to give us signs and whisper in our ears to help us if we only listen. They understand how difficult it is to break free and to hear in this world of dense energies and constant electronic input to our minds, ears and eyes that distract us from our inner voice.
This is the part that is our responsibility to take authority over and be mindful of in our lives. They can help us when ask, but they can’t make us choose to be Free. Every choice, experience, interaction and challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. It is a piece of the puzzle of our lives. It is how we seek to view and act upon the experience that determines the outcome.
In each choice we make we are determining our future experiences and life. At 16 I had been also told many things. One of those was that one day I would live west of the Mississippi. I was born and lived the first 31 years of my life in Indiana. I won’t tell a long story that I have shared before only that when I was 30 events happened that led me to make a choice at 31 to move to North Carolina and from there to California. During the process of my choices events happened in the lives of my parents that moved them to California and bringing all my belongings and once I was settled returned them to the midwest.
Did my choices cause there circumstances, I again am not wise enough to know. I only know I didn’t cause the place my father worked to close and while I was in N. Carolina place him in Tennessee. I did not tell them I was going to California, so they wouldn’t worry, only to find when I arrived my Father was already sent there by the company and they were moving there too. You see sometimes spirit has control over setting up events that can change the life of 1 or many people. At any point either I or my parents like the people on 9/11 or at the river could have made another choice.
Choices, if we seek within and follow our inner prompting that brings us peace, we will have made the best choice possible in that instance. It always helps to find that place of peace, bring in the violet flame to clear the discord and clutter, and to ask for the highest perspective for the good of all involved.
Take each choice, challenge and experience as they come. Don’t waste time worrying for that serves no purpose except to keep us in confusion and disconnected from our inner guidance. For me the two experiences I shared that I learned about at 16 as part of a series of prophecy, I remembered but didn’t dwell upon. However, as each has come true they have helped me to understand the purpose of the experience and to be thankful to the one who shared them with me so long ago. Did I make them happen because within me I subconsciously I remembered them? Perhaps, in part for I think I was told to be aware and to help me in my choices in the future. As I said I didn’t consciously remember until the events happened to bring clarity.
Often we receive things in dreams. It is helpful to ask before going to sleep to remember our dreams. Also if you have something about which you must choose or you have been stressed or worried, give it to spirit to show you the solution at night and ask to remember. Then upon awakening, write what you can remember as soon as possible and it will help you.
I tend to share persona experiences and I hope you do not find them boring. If you do, you can always stop reading. I was told by both Thoth and Jesus that sharing actually experiences often helps us to understand concepts more easily than simply sharing bullet points.
