#predetermined

We, the Soul are a part of your experiment.

We were not sure what we were signing up for, yet you made us sign with the only fine print to "accept everything that happens from now on"

Then, we were thrust into a life that wasn't ours, much to the chagrin of our host.

People claim to know who you are.

They are ALL wrong. Each and everyone of them...and so will I.

I refer to you as "The Surveyor" because you haven't fully introduced yourself. For all we know, we could be talking to ourselves. And as physics takes note, *The very observation of an experiment changes it.*

Every time we touch base, every blink, every query...you change.

So...tell me. Any part of you...

Who's the variable here?

The experiment we make and take part of. It is certainly an interesting little thing, is it not? All changing and and determining an answer for a hypothesis already solved. While some paint me as the analyzer of this experiment, I myself am not the puppet, nor the puppeteer. Your actions change some aspects of this experiment, but the conclusion of it stays the same. Either in the cage, or back in the darkness that surrounds. You can be a sinner, or a saint. Everything we can say has been spoken for. I can be whatever anybody wants. A canvas, or a brush. It all matters not in the end. I am what you make me out to be. You won't be wrong. Because somewhere, you are correct. There is no analyzer in this. Only a group of ants, following an invisible trail of crumbs that have long been gone.

I let my fingertips

Linger upon the bindings of your novels.

Worn with age,

Delicate in nature.

How many worlds did you escape to?

I have lost count for myself.

Had we crossed paths in our youth,

Unknowingly within a forest of magic,

Or on a smoke filled battlefield?

I felt your spirit enter the room

Before I saw you.

Felt your eyes on the back of my neck,

The curve of my shoulder.

Felt you say, Ah,

In the silence.

There you are.

I never liked life’s speed.

it bothered me.

I couldn’t help but hate the speed everything moved at.

This is a hot ass topic in the spiritual community, do we have free will? Is it all pre-determined? Yes and yes! Let’s explain.

What is Free Will?

The concept of free will is that you as an individual have the power to make choices that can change your path.

What is Pre-Determination?

The concept of pre-determination is the concept that everything you do is already planned out and cannot be changed.

So how is it both?

Good question! To understand, first you need to grasp that the universe is infinite and all things can exist at once. The way I understand it is that before we incarnate, we meet up with soul connections and our team and map out set points, kind of like when you outline a paper. Here are points that I will hit this life. These can be relationships, living certain places, working in a certain field, etc.

As you live your life, you craft the parts in between the set points. Just like when you write and let it flow. Sometimes you may go down pathways you didn’t anticipate as you create, but your team will pull you back to the main point if they need to. I affectionately call it being yanked because to me it feels like the universe is grabbing me by the hair and putting me in a new place. Usually because I’m rebellious and stubborn and can get lost in the story.

I realized an illustration might help you visualize what I mean. So the purple stars are pre-determined points and the blue lines are the different path choices you can make to get to that point, depending on how you branch out from your last main decision/turning point.

Now every single possible action you take between points has also been mapped out, where you have free will is choosing between these paths. When you make a decision, an alternate you makes the other choice, but we’ll talk about alternate worlds and selves later. Now when people mention jumping timelines, they are referring to the idea that you may be on one path but by making a new and radical decision you jump over the other timelines, it’s like a sideways jump.

No path is better, but some may be more direct and some may avoid certain hmmm experiences you’d rather avoid that can be painful. It doesn’t mean you learn less by not going down the most painful path, it means you may have evolved enough to not need to learn that way anymore. Once you really grasp this, you can look back at your life and see the outlined points and see the different paths you could’ve taken, and also see the way spirit nudged you or tried to help you see more clearly your next upcoming point. It’s crazy because when your mind is set on something, you may not have even seen the signs for the next point until you see it right up ahead. And then you look back like oh I never saw that sign! But wow.

Tips:

- following your instinct and impulses usually puts you on the most direct path to where you are going, but do not shame yourself for taking the scenic route.

- the idea of better or worse isn’t quite right, think of it as having options and then follow the option that feels best for you.

- you can hop timelines anytime by taking control of your life. If you are on a timeline you don’t like anymore, you feel stagnant or something, you can shift your energy to timeline jump. For me, I was unhappy at a job and to timeline jump, I introduced a new way of viewing my life by adding more presentness and curiosity. This allowed me to speed up by getting on a faster route to my next major decision point, which was moving.

In another post I’m going to go extensively into explaining the concept of time. And that may help with some more understanding of timelines and alternate selves/universes.
