Do you believe everything that happens in your life is according to a divine plan? If so, to what extent? Is every detail planned or just a general direction? Is life a predestination or are we making it up as we go along?

My Guidance says there are many choices the Soul makes for the character-self to facilitate the design of an experience. This implies a plan. But here's where it gets really interesting.

Can't choose everything

Not everything can be chosen! Not everything is known! What fun would that be if it was all predestination?

The Soul has agreed to play by the rules of the Earth experience and this includes taking your chance with what Nature has to offer. For example the Soul cannot know the exact chance genetic makeup of the physical body for its character-self. One of the zillions of combinations of sperm and egg cause the result of your genetic makeup. The genetic makeup includes the physical appearance, innate abilities and talents, as well as personality traits from the generations of your parents. This means that you may or may not get the body vehicle you need to fulfill your intention.

Insight from a story

I remember talking with a friend of mine, Dayana, who has a special gift of being able to merge with a group of spirit beings named AMAG.  (You might think of this as channeling.) A particularly remarkable insight came to me one day as Dayana told the following story.

She was attending a funeral reception for an eleven year old boy whom we will call Ethan. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the spirit of Ethan curiously watching the proceedings. Dayana motioned for him to follow her into a private area of the house where she began to converse with him. Ethan told her that he could have stayed alive by fighting the infection. Unfortunately the physical body would have been too damaged from illness to be possible for his Soul to fulfill its intention so he chose to leave.

When I heard this story I was astounded because it meant that his Soul did not know he was going to get a body that would get a debilitating physical illness!  There is a fine line between what is chosen and what is by chance; but by definition, in a world of duality you must have both.

Marriage of physical and soul

We are a marriage of the animal nature of this dimension and the Soul's plan. Each incarnation is new and exciting because you never know what you're going to get! You are a surprise to yourself each time you incarnate. Discovering who you are in each lifetime is a big part of the fun. Nanosecond to nanosecond from this point on, the challenge will be how to create an experience that will explore your original intention with the combination of your chosen parameters and chance makeup from Nature
