Destiny הכל בידי שמים
ארבעים יוֹם קוֹדם יצירת הולד בת קוֹל יוֹצאת ואוֹמרת
בת פלוֹני לפלוֹני בית פלוֹני לפלוֹני שׁדה פלוֹני לפלוֹני
"Forty days before a person is conceived into this world, it is announced in Heaven - the Divine Spirit World, that the daughter of this man is destined to marry this man, the house in this place - is destined for their home, and this field (livelihood / business / profession) is destined for this person". Talmud Sota 2a. Everything is decreed in our "Destiny הכל בידי שמים" as a Divine plan for each and every person in the Divine Heavenly records.
This is the original text in Hebrew - Aramaic from the Babylonian Talmud Sotah 2a
Foundation of Believing in "Destiny הכל בידי שמים".
The fundamental basis of understanding and believing in this fact that everything is really is decreed in our "Destiny הכל בידי שמים" in the Divine Heavenly records is to first believe in GOD.
Until a person starts to "think spiritually", having the inate feeling that there must a GOD and there must exist a spiritual world from where our souls came from and to where are souls go to after this physical life has ended then a person will continue existing a superficial life like a wandering sheep believing that everything that occurs is simply a haphazard misfit of events, situations and circumstances, created by themselves and others - which is simply ridiculous as this world would truly descend into chaos and self-destruction if that were so !
It is ONLY the fact that everything is decreed in our "Destiny הכל בידי שמים" in the Heavenly records that enables each and everyone to exist and live as individuals and collectively as a society in a whole.
Destiny הכל בידי שמים - Nothing is Wasted
Life Only Gives Your Soul the Experiences it Needs
In the idealistic spiritual realms - "nothing is wasted" - EVERYTHING that occurs in Spirit world and in this physical world happens for a purpose. There is no experience, coincedence, event or happening that is allowed to occur in this physical world unless it is a necessity for our soul to learn and change.
This principle of "non-waste" helps us understand that during our physical existence which we call "life", our soul yearns and needs lessons, situations, tests and experiences in order to learn, transform, change, correct past-life mistakes and elevate oneself spiritually.
The spiritual law of Destiny הכל בידי שמים ensures that we all get every experience we need in order for our soul to fulfill its maximum potential. If one doesn't listen to the signs and guidance one is being shown in life, discarding everything that happens in life as mere haphazard occurence, then one will not learn nor change, and certainly one will be unable to break the cycle of reincarnation successfully .
Being able to break the cycle of ones life and the cycle of reincarnation successfully one first needs to STOP and think carefully at EVERYTHING that occurs in ones life, concentrating on the fact that everything happens for a specific reason. Remember NOTHING happens by "chance", every coincedence is a piece of a DESTINED DIVINE plan for ones soul.
Everything that occurs in your life is talking to you and teaching you a lesson. It is up to you to understand what the lesson is and what is being told to you by Spirit world. Accept the fact that NOTHING happens by chance nor accident - so continually ask yourself - "What do i need to learn from the experience i am going through? Why is this happening to me? & What should i be doing with my life? & What am i being guided to do with my life?"
Lonely - Feelings of Isolation and Alienation ?
There is no need for anyone in this world to feel isolated or alienated; every single person is part of a whole unit - ones "soulmate", everything and everyone in this world is simply a half of a whole.
Likewise each person exists a part of a SoulMate, also exists as part of a SoulGroup; if one feels isolated, alienated and lonely, this implies that one is not connected nor feeling connected with ones SoulMate or SoulGroup.
Ones Guardian Angels are giving a person feelings of "Isolation, Lonliness and Alienation", and similarly feelings of "Depression" are signs of being detached from ones true destined pathway, either with the worng people, in the wrong place doing the wrong things for ones soul.
Most people ignore these signs until it becomes overwhelmingly intolerable then it becomes an "Emergency" for sudden change.
The first step is to PRAY and ask for guidance from GOD and ones Guardian Angels; then start to search for good and positive connections with firstly with souls and people in ones SoulGroup, then one will be guided to automatically find and be with ones SoulMate. and live in the correct place for ones soul.
Destiny is an Inexplicable Inner Feeling & Instinct
"Destiny" is an inexplicable feeling that NO ONE else can feel or explain other than YOU. In our generation, many of us have heard amazing stories of soulmates meeting on the internet, overcoming barriers of each others cultures, countries and societies, with a feeling of knowing this is their destiny and soulmate. For the past 40 years since Air travel, has made the whole World a more accessible place, there are many more people moving to live in the place that they "feel" is right for their souls to live.
These feelings unique to each and every personl; one thing is for 100% certain when a person is away from the wrong place and living in the right place for ones soul with the right soulmate and connecting with people of ones Soulgroup one truly feels the spiritual strength, inner reassurance of "being connected" to GOD, and full of aliveness and happiness.
Signs of Destiny הכל בידי שמים
According to the Tana Devei Eliyahu, there is a Spiritual Law is that every situation and event in this life comes in pairs; this is meant to act as a SIGN Of DESTINY.
At the same time one is connecting with ones SoulGroup; ones Soulmate and finding the right place to live for ones soul, simultaneously something good will be happening in your life. It could be a new job, new business or new home. Be assured that there will be a sign, this is simply spiritual law of duality and pairs.
Destiny is a Key to Open the Door
To open an enormous door, you only need a tiny key. To solve a baffling mystery, you only need a small clue. Finding your true destined destiny is finding one of the KEYS of Life.
To open the enormous door of your destiny, all you really require is a little piece of information. A word or two from the right person. An idea from the right part of your own imagination. An insight from the right section of the library. A seemingly trivial discovery is about to make a very big difference.
All this starts with a sincere prayer and many tears, as we know in "kabbala" crying opens up a direct link to GOD, to the Eternal Divine Spirit World of Souls, as all prayers are answered with tears, by crying many tears one can actually make miracles !
This is especially true if one feels that one has gone away from ones destiny, by praying and crying; this is always an instinctive feeling for everyone who feels lonely, isolated and depressed to CRY. A tear is the KEY to OPEN THE DOOR and will start your journey to find your true destiny.
"Destiny is Written in the Heavenly Records"
The study of astrology and palmistry, teaches and reassures that everyones DESTINY is mapped out for you, and there is no need to be sad, depressed or give-up on life.
Let the past remain in the past and consider that TODAY is the 1st day of the rest of your life ! Smile and be Happy ! As soon as one has found ones true destined pathway there will never be a need to ever be sad or depressed ever again in ones life.
הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים
The Future is already Written !
The Talmud Sotah 49b explains many signs that will occur during the last generation. This is reference to the times known as "Moshiach" which is the time when the veil between this Physical World and Spiritual world will be removed and everyone will see everything clearly.
The only thing that isn't written is our attitude and the way we handle everything that occurs; the freewill choice is ours to accept everything that happens with calmness and reassurance or to get upset. If we truly trust in GOD then we will never get flustered nor upset by anything that happens in life.
Prophets & The Future
"Everything is written" in destiny; as explained on "seeing the future" from Sefer Chochmas Yad, the only reason we are given signs, scriptures, prophets and spiritual writings is to inform us of the future in order to reassure everyone that DESTINY is written in the Divine Heavenly records.
It is written and given by prophets to give everyone a proof that there is a GOD; an eternal DIVINE Creator of the whole Universe and an Eternal Divine Spiritual World of Souls. Everything has a purpose and plan in accordance with the will of GOD.
May it be the will of GOD that we see everything that happens in our lives for good and be able to see the signs in our life to find our true destined pathway.
SoulGroup is the 1st Key
Finding and connecting with ones SoulGroup is the first Key to opening the door to your Destiny.
The Purpose of Tests & Problems in Life
is to wake a person up physically and spiritually.
עורו עורו ישנים משינתכם
"Wakey Wakey You Sleepers from Your Sleep!"
Reb Chaim Vital explains the reason why the verse repeats itself "wake-up wake-up" twice and that is to indicate that a person needs to wake up physical and wake up spiritually.
The first step is to acknowledge the truth that one is going around in circles and one has been having problems in ones life, then decide that it must stop. It really is that easy !
The whole reason for all tests and problems in life is to guide a person along the correct pathway in life and to WAKE UP spiritually.
Reb Chaim Vital explains that even pain, illness and anguish that is destined for a person, for example if one caused pain to someone in a prior lifetime then payment of pain is due in this lifetime, even this can be stopped by simply breaking the cycle of reincarnation. By using the 3 keys of reincarnation to break the cycle, then focus on the 3 purposes a reincarnated soul came into this world and then break the cycle for eternity.
Then break, annul and stop all pain and problems in ones life through living the spiritually enlightened life of FORGIVENESS, COMPASSION and LOVE.
Having Problems in Life is a Sign !
As we explained in the 1st Key of Reincarnation - The Complainers, many souls have been reincarnated to overcome the lesson of "COMPLAINING" against GO . These are referred to as souls from the "wilderness" דור המדבר , complainers מתעוֹננים , whom GOD punished by foring them to wander around in circles in the wilderness for 40 years as a punishment for complaining. Until that whole generation of "complainers" died, then the jewish people were allowed to enter the "promised land" of Israel .
This is a lesson for everyone, the punishment of feeling stagnated and wandering around in circles in life, the feelings of never really accomplishing anything useful in life, identifies to ones soul an urgent need to change - only one aspect of ones life :-
STOP COMPLAINING
This is the simple spiritual law for a successful & purposeful life of inner happiness & peace
Simply Stop Complaining !
As we have explained of the page of "Health & Diet" from the Talmud Brochos Daf 5a, "If something painful happens to you ... look and investigate carefully your actions". Everything happens for a reason in life. If one has problems and pain, it is happening for a reason. The main lesson that most people need to learn is to change the attitude of mind, and STOP COMPLAINING ! Learning to be grateful and happy for everything that happens in life.
Otherwise if one does NOT change, as the Tana Devei Eliyahu says , תנא דבי אליהוּ , "המבעט ביסוּרים ... כוֹפלין לוֹ" - "one who hates pain ...pain is doubled". This is simply understood, as the whole purpose of pain and problems is to wake a person up SPIRITUALLY. If one has not woken up, then more pain is sent to try a different way to wake up .
Sefer Shinuyim - "book of change" explains this differently, the reason a person has failures in life, is because of a disconnection with GOD, the Eternal Divine "life-giving" loving creative energy of this whole universe.
The pain occurs in life quite simply because there is a disconnection with GOD. Once the person has woken up to become loving instead of hateful, constructive instead of destructive, spiritually awakened instead of like the living "dead" spiritually, then the purpose of pain is fulfilled .
The Reason for Depression
The only reason for a "depression", is it that a person is using their mind and thoughts to think dark, negative, fear and hatred thoughts, and thereby blocking and disconnecting their souls spiritual essence of life energy from GOD - the ETERNAL DIVINE source of ALL energy in the universe.
The purpose of "blockages" in our lives is to WAKE-UP our souls to CHANGE from the wrong pathway to the correct pathway.
Once we have "woken up " spiritually , and we are working on changing our mind, thoughts and our soul, then automatically the blockages are eliminated from our lives. This is the Spiritual law of unblocking "blockages" .
The Prayer
Reb Chaim Vital explains in Sefer Gilgulim that the prayer to ask for tests and problems to STOP in ones life is simple:-
"Ribbono Shel Olam רבונו של עולם , Almighty GOD, Eternal Divine Spiritual Creator of the whole Universe, i am sorry that i have made mistakes in my life, i recognize that i have been sleeping in my life, that i have continually been ignoring all the signs that i have been given in my life to wake me up spiritually. I ignored the signs and problems and so the problems became bigger and now have become overwhelming to the point that i have now woken up.
Now that i am awake spiritually, and aware of all my foolish mistakes in this lifetime and previous lifetimes i beg of you, please GOD stop the pain and anguish so that i can lead a spiritually enlightened life of FORGIVNESS, COMPASSION & LOVE.
Please FORGIVE ME for all my mistakes in this lifetime and prior lifetimes. AMEN "
