Freewill Choice - "Two Pathways in Life"
הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים
According to Reb Chaim Vital in Sefer Gilgulim, there are always two choices in everything we do every moment of our lives, that's right, even though it seems there are many choices, there are in fact ONLY two pathways at each major junction and for every decision one makes in life.
"The Right Way OR The Wrong Way"
Many people often seek help at a time of trouble because they are in a state of confusion. They claim, that they have many decisions and many choices to make. In fact there are only two choices. One choice is the correct pathway and all the "other choices" are the wrong pathway.
If a person is honest with themselves when they have "many choices" and need to make a decision, they will find that all the options except ONE, will have something in common. All "other options" except one are basically the same choice, just seem slightly different, but intrinsically and most importantly spiritually to ones soul - they are all the "same choice" !
This is an important spiritual fact as this now teaches us that our whole lives are simply categorized into one of two pathways:- "the right way and the wrong way" - or we may say they are BOTH right ways as they are both potentially destined for ones life.
"Meetings with Destiny"
Reb Chaim Vital writes that even though according to the events of one's life and the freewill choices one makes, one can indeed change ones life for the better or worse, however there are some destined events and "meetings with destiny" that will occur whatever decisions one makes in ones life. Whether one chooses the right way or wrong way, one will have DATES-WITH-DESTINY.
One is guarenteed by spiritual laws of reincarnation to have specific meetings at specific times, whatever one is doing and wherever one is in ones life, certain events cannot be avoided.
They can be delayed or postponed, however ALL reincarnated souls are guarenteed that they will NEVER miss the opportunities and these specific dates-with-destiny.
"Dates With Destiny"
The specific purpose of these dates-with-destiny is to ensure ALL reincarnated souls that they are continually given "chances" to get-it-right in this reincarnated lifetime.
The feeling of travelling along the journey of life then suddenly having a date-with-destiny makes the journey of life very pleasureable and enjoyable. Returning and finding ones correct pathway is an amazing spiritual gift.
In reflection and hindsight it makes all the pain worthwhile, as it gives a person that "knowing" feeling that the pathway one is on is indeed the correct pathway. The past was a destined mistake and now one has found oneself. This experience in itself is a reason why our souls came to earth to correct ones soul and spiritual attitiude to life.
Freewill Choice
"Destiny" has predetermined the possibilities for ones life, but it is dependant on the pathway one has chosen to take and according to ones actions and behaviour the type of Soulmate one will get. As the Talmud in Sota 2a explains everyone gets the soulmate they deserve, if you feel you are with the wrong person then maybe ones should look at ones own faults instead of looking at ones soulmates faults.
Remember:
Each Reincarnation is a KINDNESS from GOD
So don't be disgruntled or unhappy with your life, learn to see everything that happens in your life happens for a good reason, if you have had some bad relationships, even a bitter argumentative divorce then this too has been necessary to heal the particular reincarnated aspect of ones soul.
Success in reincarnation isn't judged in the same way as materialistic success, but in freeing ones mind and soul from the heaviness of negative energies and breaking the cycle of death in reincarnation.
The easiest way to break the cycle of reincarnation is to forgive and even forgive & "love" ones enemies, forgive and "let-go" of all the people whom have hurt you. They have hurt you for reason, this lifetime is now the time to forgive them and let them go forever.
You will free your own soul from the cycle of reincarnation when you forget and forgive them, don't be stubborn - just let them go by forgiving them, this will enable one to let any badness go and enable one to live the present life happily.
Holding onto arguments and being hateful only keeps a person locked in a cycle of reincarnation. If you are in a difficult situation then you are in it to learn and rectify your soul. When you have rectified your soul you will have found freedom for your soul in breaking the cycle of reincarnation that is your true purpose in being reincarnated into this life.
The Day of Death is Guarenteed for Everyone !
One thing is guarenteed for everyone in the whole world is that we are all going to die one day; one day we are all going to enter the Eternal Divine Spiritual realms, whichever pathway we choose to take in life; every single permutation will end up with the same result; at that moment we will either be free and happy to have had a worthwile life, rectifying all the reasons we came into this life, or have a life full of a regrets of things we should never have done and mistakes we should never have made.
Let us, learn from the Sefer Gilgulim and teachings of Reb Chaim Vital to enter the Eternal Divine Spiritual realms well prepared and at ONE with GOD in peace and love.
