[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a reoccurring theme during a spiritual awakening is examining the role fate plays in our lives are we making its role bigger than it actually plays does it even exist is it all that exists the tug of war between fate and free will is the reflection of a larger ontology that traces back to the origins of creation are we in a created or a creating universe so today i will be explaining what fate is and how it factors into our life and toward the end of this video i will reveal the third force that fate and free will are both agents desperately trying to connect you with to understand fate we have to know a little bit about the soul because fate belongs to the domain of the soul so the level of the soul resides outside of space and time it can be looked at on par with universal consciousness fate is the course of action already determined at the level of the soul it is the choices that we already made coming into this incarnation and the outcome of those choices fate is not necessarily positive although it can be but what is informing the course of action that creates a person's fate we know it comes from the level of the soul but does that mean the soul simply generates an outcome it wants and if that were so wouldn't we see a lot more positive outcomes being played out in the world fate is the higher expression of what we know as karma when it's outside of space and time it's called fate when it's inside space-time it arranges itself into karma there are different kinds of fate there are collective fate group fate and individual fate each of these have their own gravitational pull so there are different layers of reality within this one meaning we are not all occupying the same level of reality even though we inhabit the same overall reality and reality behaves differently in one level than it does the other for instance the less conscious a being is the more they are ruled under the collective's gravity which is the densest level of inertia as we use our free will to move in the direction of consciousness we are gradually exalting ourselves from many layers of fate as well as building what's known in physics as escape velocity but we know this term in spirituality as dharma fate can be looked at as the dominant archetypes that the soul is expressing itself through by the time the eternal essence of our soul drops into the third dimension it's operating and accessing experiences through archetypes everything in this reality is an archetypal expression there's even an archetype for awakening commonly referred to as the hero's journey a popular reference to an ill-fated archetype is the star-crossed lovers from romeo and juliet we are in a realm of archetypes there are far more archetypes and archetypal energies than the ones we currently refer to so if you're looking for jungian equivalents here you shall not find it fate can be looked at as the archetypal template that is inserted over our life i'll say this another way fate can be looked at as the energetic template that is inserted over your life fate sets our life path up and then it remains parallel to it as a guiding force that steers its course yet can be overcome by our own free will fate is what was predetermined to be lived and to be experienced challenges in all including soul contracts and the corresponding outcomes if you'd like to know more about soul contracts let me know in the comments and if enough people are interested i'll make a video explaining the role of soul contracts in depth however there are a myriad of ways those outcomes can come into fruition and not all of them are optimal fate doesn't micromanage the details it is free will that determines the quality of our experience so fate is the journey and free will is our attitude except free will is so much more than that for we are indeed in a creating universe rather than a created one and it is only through free will that we can change our fate and become sovereign creators to facilitate this life will bring us fated experiences and these can be used as catalysts to connect us with our own free will such as exercising our discernment in situations where we would normally be expected to just go along with everything only if we are using our free will will we be able to overcome these life challenges since they require us to look beyond the definitive choices laid before us if we are not truly utilizing our free will we will fall back on the predetermined outcome of that fate whatever it may be which is also why there are so many compelling theories to explain how free will is an illusion it's because fate has a past present and future already designed and free will exists only as a fiction a vague notion until it's brought to life until it's implemented once it's implemented the field has to reflect that because it's now what is so fate and free will work in unison together one is the lesson one is the learning they are not opposing forces although they have the potential to be in this way fate and free will work as agents for our creative evolution it's common in religion and even in the spiritual community to believe that we are in the hands of fate and fate alone that the cycles have spoken and the deed is done this cosmology is monochrome at best with no regard for the fact that choices impact the outcome this isn't even mystical not all choices lead to the same outcome no matter how much we would love to just believe they all do for instance if a person ate junk food every day that creates an outcome and if that same person were to choose to make a major lifestyle change for the better to their diet that would also create a different outcome not all choices are equal and our choices directly impact the quality of our experience in our personal life and in the world at large so fate comes from the level of the soul and it shapes our life path it's expressing itself through archetypal energy and is neither all positive nor all negative but rather the reflection of something what is it reflecting it's responding to something within us that's guiding the soul's choices on a higher level and what it's responding to is our essence essence is our inherent nature before we were conditioned and before the world told us how to be it is creative life force that can be thought of as prana or spirit we are eternal essence as the unique expression of infinity and spiritual evolution is the evolution of this unique essence so the qualities of our essence merge with the body to form our personality life has a tendency to disconnect us from our essence rather than aid its development because of this it's very common to have a stunted essence so even though a person may have come with a lot of creative life force into this life it's also possible to never be in touch with it or to develop it into its full expression that entirely depends on our free will fate is responding to our essence it's choosing experiences at a soul level that are going to best meet our essence wherever it's already at and then broaden its bandwidth in a way that is personal and customized to that unique life force this does not explain away the atrocities of the world but rather is meant to highlight the severity that manifestation takes on when our consciousness is under the gravity of inertia instead of free will so fate can assist us it can also restrict us it can move us along it can intervene it works in many different ways to manipulate the course of our life it's also why some experiences are more probable than others it can even inspire but fate is still not the final destination of this party bus because there is a third force that both fate and free will are trying to get us in contact with if karma is the form that fate takes on once it's entered space and time then destiny is the force that free will takes on as the fruits of conscious labor destiny gets confused with fate a lot and it's not hard to see why but destiny belongs to a higher order than fate it's entirely liberated it starts entering the scene the more we are able to embody our essence and act from our free will destiny is not even a possibility most of the time since certain factors have to be in place in order for it to actualize it remains merely a potential in a sea of potentials but it begins to emerge materialize and become substantial the more we act from our free will and from our essence destiny can overwrite the whole matrix it's not that bad things don't ever happen to a person who is living their destiny is that they refuse to be reduced by them they stay open and malleable using life's challenges as a springboard to greater heights rather than being shut down by them destiny is another word for dharma and it can only be accessed through free will but once we start to walk this path of awakening fate has a way of pushing us closer towards it and now we understand the true meaning of the saying amore fatih love your fate not because we have to love what is or what could be but because what it's really saying is play the choices you already made to their fullest i hope this has helped you love your fate make sure to subscribe to my channel for higher dimensional guidance through
