Hola, happy Thursday, how are you guys? Little horse today? Been horsing around a lot. So I finished the last chapter about how life is like a chessboard and how we’re getting moved on the board, and I wanted to explain the concept I learned from Rabbi Joel, which has been a big argument forever philosophers religious people, is their life predestined or is it free will? Well, I say both, and in Judaism Kabbalah, we look at both, not either, or we live in both land. That’s that coherent superposition thing. So I’ll give you some examples. If you’re Rabbi Joe taught us this years ago, and this always stuck with me. If you’re born under the warring planet Mars. This is a metaphor. You are destined to shed blood in your lifetime. Okay, there’s where the predestined comes in. However, because you have free will, you can do it as a surgeon or a serial killer or, let’s say, phlebotomist, but your destiny is to shed blood. Look at me as a therapist. I’m helping people grow and change. So I could be a therapist, or I could become Jim Jones, a cult leader, like he became. That’s where my free will comes in, somebody that wants to be a leader, you know, political and all that you can become a senator or a mob boss. That’s where free will comes in. The tricky part to all this is listening to that inner GPS, as I call it, alright, every mob boss is got a politician inside of him, and every cult leader has got a healer inside of him, but he chose the wrong path, and that’s the hardest thing when I when I wrote the chapter, I came up with 34 life events, and even though I got off my path at times, like with my addiction or a short term marriage. Once I woke up this OOP II turned on the wrong street, I quickly turned around and came back and got out of that situation. I wish it was that quick, but sometimes it takes a while, because we’re all knuckleheads. So when you’re thinking about your life, in your life’s journey, there are things that are predestined. It’s in your soul. You know my little great niece, she’s five and a half. This girl loves the draw, so Tim and I calibrated her soul level to be an architect. We came up with 100% so if she decides to go that path, it’s in her soul to do that. That’s the predestined. Now she can do it this way or that way or that way. That’s where free will comes in. And so often people are arguing about, is it all predestined, or is it free will? You don’t have to do that. It’s both and more than both. The tricky part, as I found out on my journey is to go down the path that really, really speaks to you. Okay, my boss is a leader. Is a politician. You know, selling, what are we selling? And all that, helping people, but you’re doing evil things there too, probably having people killed, or killing them yourself. I’ve got a dear friend named Kendra, and she’s just, we were just messaging on Facebook, and this lady has had one hell of a ride, like Eli has, and she lives in Colorado, and she’s been looking for a job in Fort Collins. Well, she’s getting God blocked every inch of the way. God block, God block, God block. And then all of a sudden she’s, she’s been in Europe before, and in the in Asia too, but in Europe, I think Germany, and something is telling her she has to go there. Now, that’s impractical. She’s got a young daughter, and that what, whatever you gotta fly all this way, you know, the crazy world we live in. And I messaged her back, and I said, Girl, what do you need? A burning bush. You know, her daughter’s been learning German out of the blue. Where’s that coming from? Okay? Because she’s probably supposed to go to Germany for a while. And, you know, she’s got enough money to do this. But that’s how it works. The more impractical it seems, the more likely it is that’s your path. Like when I moved to Colorado, my practical, logical mind thought, What the hell are you doing? But my soul said, we have to. And as you all know, there was a reward when I got there, Rabbi Joel, who changed a lot of people’s lives, including. Mind, but through, through our experience together the teachings, because a lot of the Kabbalistic thinking I have integrated into my practice, not religious wise, but theories, philosophies and different things like that. That’s why that Torah statement, the end today is rooted in the beginning. Now there’s ways to look at that today, where you’re at in your life. It was rooted in the beginning, when you were born, or the bigger picture, the way the world looks today, what’s going on was rooted in the beginning of time. It just had to fractal out one after another. And fractals are similar, but they’re different. So you’re always changing a little bit. It’s like that tree ring that I would show before the colors change, but the ring is still there. You’re just getting into new colors. And I encourage you guys, especially if you’re local. You know, my brother Tim and I talk a lot about this to clients, having the courage to take that job, that leap of faith. But here’s the good news, and I found this throughout my life, the universe, aka God, whatever you want to call it, when you’re on the correct path, you’ll get all kinds of support you never thought would become when I got my job at Saint Margaret, the hospitals, the social worker in 1978 somebody, my prophet, could have been sitting there saying, this is going to open doors for you to start your practice. Well, it did. I met all these doctors, lot of them like me. I was a good worker, and, you know, got the job done. And so I actually there were two doctors that let me use their offices for free to see clients in the evening because they were off, and then they were referring people to me. One actually co signed insurance forms for me at the time, when I started, it was all there. All I had to do is say yes to the job at Saint Margaret’s. And once I did that, voila. The rest opened up. So I, you know this chapter that I wrote, life is like a chessboard. We have the illusion we’re being moved now. The big moves are predestined. The little moves are us. You know, I chose to wear one of my favorite T shirts today Colorado. That’s free will, right? But I was but I was destined to wear a shirt today. I just chose this one. So you do have free will, but there’s predestiny. You have to be able to link em up and listen to your GPS your gut, like my friend Kendra is saying, as crazy as this move sounds to her, it makes sense inside of her. So I said, go, go for it. I’ll come and visit. We’ll see. Alright. Listen, have a good day. Have a god day. And again, to remind you what that means, emulate your Creator. Because the more of us that have a God day, not that we’re God, but we’re we’re showing God’s kindness, hospitality, cariness and all that generosity, the more we can emulate the creator, the quicker we get heaven on earth? So think about it that way. Alright, love you guys. Hey, we’re going to be doing a cycle drama on June 22 we switched the date, so we may have one spot low. I think we got two covered. And then I’m doing a breath another breath work class on June 1. And next Wednesday, May 14, at seven o’clock, I’m doing the pineal meditation again. So if you guys are local, you want to check it out or get a hold of me. I’ll give you the details. It’s really cool stuff. Okay, love you guys. Bye. Bye. You.
