Karma, Fate, Past Lives & Birthrights - Why You're Denied The Infinite Possibilities of The Universe

We respect those who search for their own answers in
relation to spirituality, the meaning of life, and the
concept of fated personal circumstances and events. In
our professional opinion, everyone’s birthrights are
different.

Let’s define, in this context, what a birthright is.
In simple terms, it's what is owed to you, in a karmic
sense (rewards and challenges); birthrights are the
credits you've earned and the debits you owe from past
life actions.

Contrary to popular belief and based on our research,
we've found that birthrights aren't automatic entitlements
to the "infinite possibilities of the universe." Free will
exists, but total free will is only available to you in
spirit form before incarnating. Why? So you can't escape
confronting the issues you're meant to work through,
and therefore grow and progress.

Popular New Age declarations such as "It's your birthright
to have whatever you want," are inspiring and sound
promising, but these statements are too often misleading
and potentially damaging. Disappointment and feelings of
despair and failure ultimately follow when the New Age
adherent learns the hard way that he can't simply erase
his intense marriage problems and "create a dream
relationship," for example.

On the other hand, inspirational messages can be like
fuel for those who are following their highest path, take
the action necessary to reach their goals, work efficiently
and purposely, and are destined to reach those goals. But
inspiration may be only a temporary high, an escape from
reality, for those who don't take action to reach their
goals, or more importantly, have not set goals that match
their fate.

By the way, sometimes "failure" or not getting what you
want is integral to important life lessons and even future
success. If everyone "got what they wanted" all the time,
what would the world be like and how would one
distinguish between failure and success?

Alternatively, we wholeheartedly approve of feet-on-the
-ground proclamations such as, "you can have anything
your heart desires, as along as it fits in your karmic
and destined plan."

Successfully reaching important life goals demands
diligent effort, not just pure inspiration and idealism.
More important, to know what's most fitting for you
(and within your personal, unique karmic blueprint),
you must first ask in meditation, repeatedly "who am I?"
and "why am I here?" if you want to begin to make the
most of your existence.

One person's dharma (what one must do, in accordance
with one's karmic plan) might be to live a life having
enormous power and influence, and another's might be
to learn humility and live a modest lifestyle. One person's
fate might include decades of deep romantic love, another's
might include decades of solitude (e.g., as a monk, in a
religious order, or even in prison), perhaps necessary for
his or her spiritual growth.

Remember, we're talking about long-term plans, as in
multitudes of lifetimes that serve higher purposes, not
just about trying to get what one wants right now, in
this life, such as the most coveted material aspects of
the American Dream.

How do you know what your birthrights are? Keep asking
yourself. Get to know your higher-self through regular
meditation. Comprehensive astrology and numerology
are great tools to help confirm your hunches.

Don't be afraid of discovering that your personal earthly
plan may not be as glamorous or seemingly rewarding as
another person's might be. Everyone has an important role
in this world. Some are meant to make a difference in one
person's life, and some in many people's lives, but all
are part of the bigger plan and ultimately we are all in
this together.
