What looks like falling to others is you falling into place. Even when life seems to mercilessly piss and pour down on you. You must understand that it is leading you somewhere your spirit desperately longs to be. There is no such thing as a setback. There is only the path. > But how does free will play into that? I could decide to quit my Job or stay in it. How can Both be Part of the plan? You too are the will of God. When we say that all things are as they should be - that all things are perfect - it includes whatever happens, you yourself, and everyone else for that matter. You too are part of perfection - so long as you are true to your nature. And even if you decide to not be true to (what you think is) your nature on purpose - that would also be part of your (higher) nature - being untrue to your nature. It would just be you awakening to what your truest and highest expression is. You make choices here in the now, but those choices are already predetermined by that same higher nature. From a personal outlook, in the here and now, you are casting choices in real time. So yes, use your free will to quit your job - you will have discovered the truth of who you are. Or use your free will to retain your job - you will have discovered the truth of who you are. Life is a discovery of your truest identity, not its formative element. Your identity was shaped already by the archetypal energies your physical form was derived and created from - evidenced by the uniqueness of your physiognomy and physiology. Whatever you do, whatever you choose to do - you have already chosen to do in your infinite form. Or, should I say, the original incarnation did - the one you currently avatarize. You are here to understand why you chose to do the things you did, and whether you would choose differently.
