Inevitability

One of my teachers holds a weekly online satsang or spiritual discourse at which participants can ask questions relative to ascertaining “the highest truth.”

At a recent session, a question arose as to whether prayers or good works matter in creating change or whether everything is already fated or ordained, making prayers and actions ineffectual in altering the course of the Universe.

The question made me recall one of the few experiences I had near the beginning of my spiritual journey, when a voice, not of my own making, imparted information to me.

(Why that voice doesn’t continue to come, when I want or think I need to hear it, is my question ☹.)

In any case, what I heard was what I believe to have been the voice of an Angel (it was certainly not anyone in the room!) bemoaning the fact that the misuse or abuse of the gift of “free will” in the human learning process keeps impeding the inevitable flow of destiny and, repeatedly “messes up the Plan.”

It made me realize that what humanity, whether individually or en masse, does can alter the natural or intended course of events (and I’m sure it’s the same for the Soul creatures on other planets).

Ultimately, however, the intended flow continues, just as the river in the above photo keeps flowing despite the various rocks and boulders in its way that may cause blocks, twists or even infinitesimal delays.

The real issue has to do with the fact that we exist in a “time sequence” and time is different on Earth from how it would be measured on other planets in the Universe and in the beingness where there is no time, i.e., the All.

So, how we treat ourselves, others and the planet really does matter.

New Zealanders have come to a full understanding of the latter and, 3 years ago, the Whanganui River and an enormous amount of the Country’s land was given legal personhood, i.e., the same rights as any human.  (Would that all nations might come to this acknowledgement.)

The takeaway is that the “Universe” has a long-term strategy that will produce its inevitable glorious purpose, but we live in the short-term and can mess with and/or delay that inevitability, causing suffering and pain to ourselves and our planet in our Now.

But life can be so much easier, if we, simply, link our Intention to “go with the flow.”
