"But I have the free will to do what I want!" is a common notion when people discuss free will and divine destiny. Okay then, if so, how much of our lives is actually preordained?
The biggest fear most of us have around destiny, let's face it, is the fear of not having control. In a way, that's completely understandable. If we were driving down the highway, we would need to feel as though we were in control of our vehicle in order to guide it where we want to go and avoid any dangers that present themselves.
The truth is, within our own lives, the greatest amount of control we have is over ourselves. This may sound obvious, yet how often do many of us still try to control outer circumstances so they conform to the way we think they ought to be, rather than accepting them as they are and responding accordingly?
So, then is eating this chocolate chip cookie right now actually written into the universal fabric of space and time? Not exactly. Try thinking of life more as streams of energy rather than of specific details. Have you ever met someone who, for better or worse, somehow attracts the same type of partners? Or someone who strangely gets into accidents on a regular basis?
I have an identical twin brother, and when we were babies, our mother had to paint our toenails to keep track of who was who. Now, as adults, although we look and act very similarly, our life choices, down to the thoughts we think, have shaped us into the unique individuals we are today. Each one of us have thousands of possible paths, so to speak, before us. It is our choice which paths we wish to walk. Yet we all have energetic influences that remain more or less the same.
There is a hack around certain energetic influences, though.
Ready?
Although some negative energy patterns are unavoidable, when we actively raise our energetic frequency, these influences can, in fact, be mitigated or even eliminated. Or as I said they may still occur, yet we are in a different vibrational state that they no longer affect us in the same way.
The most powerful method of raising our energetic frequency is through a daily practice of meditation and the integration of an uplifting lifestyle. Your life does not transform all at once, yet step by step you become more more anchored into the essence of who you are and not the ego identified versions of ourselves, that is vulnerable to every crashing wave upon a turbulent sea.
I am not going to sugarcoat it. A meditation practice that takes you deeper and deeper into your being requires time, energy, and commitment. Yet honestly, it is a small price to pay for shifting our inner compass toward greater peace, clarity, and ultimately inner freedom.
