Next Stage – Roadmap
After we’re born we are on our own, or it may feel that way.
If you believe in reincarnation, you may suspect you were here before. There’s no way to ask questions about your suspicions. Not in this physical existence anyway. And when you’re too little to do more than babble, it’s difficult to quiz anyone.
If you don’t believe in past lives, you may trust that you know how to be here without any previous assistance.
In simple terms, you’re here and you have questions. Those questions are unique to you.
In fact, your experiences are unique on purpose because you are a spark of God and your mission is to learn all you can because God is like a knowledge base.
This knowledge base is built by everyone who is born. Anyone with experience working with data knows that every contribution counts. Even the bad stuff.
Using the same analogy, you can decide to ignore your own experiences. Trash them. Archive them. Store them until you want to pull out the information to review. Our brains are always on, learning and collecting new data from our experiences.
If you change your mind about something you learned or believed, you can rewrite your own code.
Human behavior and medical professions exist to help with data retrieval. There’re all sorts of reasons why. Some of the memories contribute to healing. Forgiveness. Compassion.
Sometimes all we want is to understand our true self. To do that, we can ask for guidance.
There are many ways in which we look for help when we need it. The rules the Creator issued didn’t make our choices for us, although traditionally some people like to think they can choose for us.
Independent Guidance
Bythewillowtree was created for people with open minds, who break barriers to find out how things work and their relationship to the All That Is.
You may be thinking that you already have all the guidance you need or want. I invite you to ask yourself these questions:
- How well does the teaching/religion/spiritual path know me?
- When I got my guidance, did I agree with it?
- Where did that guidance come from?
- Did I rebel against recommendations and go my own way?
- Does any of what I’m told about myself make me worthless?
- If you chose to follow your heart or gut feelings, did you have support or were you tossed out on the curb?
In today’s tumultuous world, self-discovery is in demand. I think this is because we don’t have control over all the events causing distress to the planet and people.
We can control how we respond. And if we want to participate in positive ways, sometimes against great odds, we will need to pull from our personal knowledge of ourselves. We may need to embrace being different.
Where are you the strongest? What makes you shine? If coping is a struggle, what parts of yourself are built in guidance and support systems for you?
What if meditation, prayer, contemplation or long talks with your guides and angels are a step ladder to achieving your own happiness in accordance with what the universe planned for you from birth?
What is in this plan?
The next phase in development of Bythewillowtree is a Roadmap created as the nextstep after the Discovery Profile.
