Response: Certainly. Because you are a conscious being with an intellect, with a desire, with an ego, and all the other things that come with being human it is important for the soul to have something to consciously work with or toward. Having goals in place facilitates a process of remaining focused. How the goals manifest is debatable. One can have short term, mid-term and long term goals. Let us say, for instance, you have a goal of taking a trip to another land. It is, let us imagine, the trip of a life time, one you have wanted to do since you were a little boy, but the trip entails taking many weeks away from home and a vast amount of financial resources. Perhaps these resources would then make other areas of your life vulnerable.
Having set the intention or the goal of making the trip is the active action to be taken by the individual. How it unfolds is up to the collaborative effort of your soul, your higher self and your conscious self. If Spirit delivers guidance that takes you in a direction that you weren’t planning on, one needs to weigh up the motivation behind choices one may or may not make. Many times people set intentions but fight the process by behaving in old ways like fighting the process, by trying to control systems in moving in a particular direction, or ignoring guidance and then become disillusioned because what they have set the intention for does not manifest. Going with the flow means recognizing, honouring and entertaining – or another word would be researching – that which Spirit brings in the form of guidance or opportunities.
This guidance or opportunity may manifest as a business idea which you research and realise can bring a very lucrative passive income which means there is no worry about depleting your current savings to finance your trip of a lifetime. But if one had not paid attention to the idea of pursuing a specific venture and decides that one has to look at a specific focus then one could sabotage the self. Asking means listening. Setting intentions means taking action but allowing room for the flow of life to guide you. This is also referred to as flexibility. The moment you see something not flowing that is the moment one must stop and consider perhaps a different direction is required, or a different attitude, or some assistance in seeing the situation from a different perspective. Anything that is controlled, frigid, or locked in an idea or space will manifest in some form of sabotage in one way or another. Does that answer your question?
It does. Just to be quite sure, it does not mean to abandon thinking and planning?
Kuthumi: No. Not at all, no. The universe supports action, therefore take the plan, whatever it may be, and put it into action. Leave the rest up to God, and Spirit will guide you. Is this clear?
Yes, thank you.
You are welcome.
