How to Design a Fabulous House On a Preordained Foundation

Once again I’m here with you today attempting to write something wise and philosophical for you to be inspired by and enjoy. But where do all these philosophies actually come from? Well, they come from where everything comes from which is All That Is. All That Is is a way of describing all that ever existed, all that exists presently and all that will exist in the future. It also encompasses all past, present, and future events and experiences. Many might take a pause here to think about this. A thought that might come up is that if everything that has happened or that I can think of or that I can or will experience already exists, then does that mean that everything is fate and already decided for me in my life? Have I no free will or any actual choices? Is life actually preordained and I’m just a pawn on a chessboard?

Before you create a body and project a version of yourself into this reality, you decide on certain things that you want to experience in your lifetime and you even choose certain things like who will be your parents and what will be your birth location. You also choose some actual parameters for your human life. These parameters offer an abundance of freedom and creativity so that you have a lot of room to exercise your free will and make life choices. But if you had planned on certain events to occur so that you can experience them and evolve from them, then they will occur no matter what choices you may make with your free will. This may sound a bit scary when looking at it from a human perspective but from your soul perspective, it isn’t seen as scary. It is seen as a great adventure that you wanted to go on, much like a trip that you’ve dreamed of taking for a long time to some exotic or interesting locale.

A simple way of understanding the soul parameters in your life and how they may affect your current life is this. Picture your whole life that you are experiencing as a house that you are building. The foundation for the house has already been decided and given to you. Everything else can be designed by you like the landscaping, floor plan, design, color schemes, furniture, houseplants, etc. You actually have so much freedom in designing this house that you hardly even notice the constraints of the building foundation, though it may irritate you at times. You may look to the neighbor’s house and think, well they have a larger foundation and lots of extra room. Why is that? I want a bigger house too. Why do they have fancier cars or more cars than me? I want some too. Or the one we’ve heard so many times. Why is their lawn greener than mine? I want green grass like that too. You have the ability to use your creative forces and get greener grass, fancy cars, etc. But the foundation of your home can’t be changed because this was a decision made by you way before you were born.

Every person travels back to All That Is when they are sleeping and during dream time. During this time, you converse with others about your experiences and can even choose to add more experiences that you want to occur in your life to the list. You may also decide to even change some of the things you wanted to happen in this life and choose other things. This might manifest in your life as sudden and big changes that occur. If you’re wondering why something like this hasn’t happened in your life, it is because your soul hasn’t decided to make changes to that foundation yet in your dream time and may never choose this. Your soul which is you, may choose to stay on the same path and within the same foundations of the house that was initially built. Or your soul may choose to change some of it. This may sound frustrating if you are at a point in your life where you desperately want change. If our soul is us, then why won’t it listen to what we want and make our life into the life that we want? Your soul really does listen as your soul is you. But your soul is viewing everything from a much wider perspective than we can as we live out our human lives. But there is good news. The more you search within yourself, the more that you will be able to bring your human self closer to your soul self. The separation that has been felt throughout your life will start getting narrower and narrower. When this occurs, you’ll gain new insight into your life experience and through this understanding of it, the pain and suffering that you had attached to them will dissipate.

The lesser the distance between your human projection and your actual soul, the less will be your pain and suffering. Not only because you will have a better insight as to why certain events occurred, but also because you will be attaining a higher vibration and creating happier experiences. I’m sure you’ve heard that the best way to go about this is to go within. And the best way to go within is through meditation. We may picture that we have to sit still and empty our minds for hours but this isn’t the only way to meditate. Meditation is actually being done any time you are following your passion and doing something creative like playing a sport, cooking a food, reading, writing, taking a walk, dancing, playing with a pet, etc. Any and all things that are creative and bring you joy are a form of meditation and will increase your vibration.

Sitting meditation is one of the best ways to bring up old traumas that are sitting in your body and creating blockages for you in your body which are also reflected outwardly in your life. There are a lot of guided meditations that you can follow but if you don’t feel like you are at a point where you want to try meditating, I find listening to binaural beats a good step toward getting to that point. Binaural beats help balance our minds out and create more of a coherence within it. If you’ve never listened to any binaural beats before, start out listening for just a few minutes as it can get uncomfortable. Listen for longer periods of time as you get used to them. Below are a few binaural beats that I have found helpful. Please let me know what you think of them if you try them out. Also, are there any meditations or guided meditations that you enjoy and would like to share?

Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

The effervescence of a Sunday morning can be reflected in the moonlight as the dawn takes over to start the day. The willow trees can be observed swaying back and forth, back and forth as if we needn’t have a care in the world. But is this really the truth or is it an illusion? Of course it is all an illusion. All of it. Whatever the illusion is that you see in front of you is of your own choosing whether it gives you happiness or not. Of course you might feel dismay and even anger when reading this. Questions like well do children choose to get cancer? Do people choose to be tortured or killed? Do they choose to be poor and hungry? To put it very simply to you, yes they do.

Everything that happens to you, you have chosen to happen and agreed to it during dream time when you travel out of your body and make such agreements. Certain agreements to experience certain things are even agreed upon before your birth. A lot of people have the belief that if something bad happens to a person, then they must deserve it. This concept is very untrue as there is no god who keeps a tally on people and doles out punishments and rewards. All there is is All that Is, a universal consciousness who doesn’t judge, punish or reward anyone’s deeds.

I remember a story that a friend told me once. He had traveled to Jerusalem with his best friend who had been crippled as a teenager during a botched surgery which led to the oxygen being cut off to his legs. He could walk for a few steps with a cane but needed a wheelchair for anything more than that. So they were in Jerusalem, a place which is the center of so many religions, and he was pushing his friend along in his wheelchair across a busy square. People were spitting on his friend and shouting obscenities at him, shouting at them both them both to go away, waving their arms wildly. My friend was shocked and asked the people why they were doing this. They answered that his wheelchair bound friend must be a very bad person because God punished him by putting him in a wheelchair. This story may be extreme but it’s just one example of how some people believe that there is some god who punishes the ‘bad people’ or ‘bad deeds’ and rewards the ‘good people’ and ‘good deeds’. This is not so and never has been. Just look around the world. Is every billionaire on Earth a saint? Is every successful or happy person out there doing charity work and putting service to others over service to themselves? There aren’t any being selfish or acting in a negative manner at times? Why isn’t this god punishing them? Why isn’t this god striking them down and taking away their good fortune? Some billionaires rape the Earth of her resources and fund and profit from wars that cause human casualties and suffering. Why isn’t god punishing them for these acts? Because that is not how the universe works. There is no reward and punishment system other than the one you may be creating for yourselves through your own free will and we will expand on this in the future.

But what about the other question that rings out from Earth into the Universe so often? ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ The answer is that they have chosen for it to happen to them. But why would someone choose for something bad to happen to them? The reason for that choice is for soul evolvement and expansion. Believe it or not, there are some adventurous souls who wish to experience what it is like to be murdered or to be ill with a disease or to lose a limb. Some of you might be in disbelief about this and that is ok for you to feel that. It is ok and perhaps the time will come when you will be ready to accept it as fact.

The fact that all humans choose their experiences doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have compassion for them or help them in any way that we can when we see them in pain or in need if we feel inspired to do so. In our human experience, we don’t remember the agreements that we have made and therefore may suffer with some of the experiences that we have chosen to live and learn from. This is completely understandable.

After you pass from this life that you are living, your spirit, along with All that Is will rejoice in all of the adventures that you had on Earth and how they helped with the expansion of universal consciousness. All humans are considered incredibly brave and are seen with much respect throughout All that Is. We are all loved and respected greatly! There are also techniques that we can use to ease our suffering on Earth and that is by increasing our vibration. The more that we increase our vibration, the less denser it will be and the less our suffering. Some humans will remain in the lower density and that is their Free Will. It doesn’t mean that they are bad or incompetent or lazy people like many may think. It just means that it is the experience that they are choosing to have and that fact should be respected and not scorned.

Some other time, we’ll talk about how victim and perpetrator are one and the same, playing a role in the vast theater of the Cosmos. This concept can further explain why there is actually no good or bad. They are both one and the same. I’ll also share some simple techniques in which you can work on raising your vibration.
