Man you guys have some brilliant input on this topic! Where do I start with a reply here lol.
1. I do believe we are all intuitive and have psychic abilities. I do believe some have stronger abilities than others because they are more spiritually tuned in and spiritually evolved.
2. I don't know my exact thoughts/feelings on manifestation. I'm more inclined to believe that it's really the law of attraction than anything else. You will attract what you are on the frequency you're on, not what you want. UNLESS, you already ARE what you want and on that frequency. Like for example, no one can manifest their ex back if their ex doesn't want to be back because then that violates your ex's free will, unless it's predetermined and he/she is meant to return. However, you CAN attract that which you want, if you're already on that frequency, but it may be a totally different person.
3. Free will vs. Predetermined - I believe in both. I do believe we choose our lives prior to incarnation. I believe we make agreements with other souls prior to incarnation. I believe that each and every person we've crossed paths with, whether short term or long term, was already predetermined prior to incarnation. Think about it. Out of 9 billion people on this planet, each of us happened to experience a relationship with a specific person. I don't believe that is left up to chance at all whatsoever. I've experienced this anomaly my own self. Let me share a couple of stories of my own which I feel prove predeterminism. I will then get back to my thoughts on how free will may work or when it comes into play.
Example 1: Back in 2006 I became completely homebound with agoraphobia. Prior to that, I was completely opposite. I was NEVER home. My grandmother had given me a computer so that I could find a work at home job since I could no longer leave the house. I found a job a few months later. My job required I use Skype to communicate with leadership. One day, out of nowhere, this guy who was from Iraq messaged me out of nowhere. I have NO IDEA how he found me on there. It was very odd. Long story short, we began a long distance relationship. He worked as a translator for the U.S. military. He applied for a special immigrants visa. The approval process was long and not guaranteed to all who applied. He gets approved for the visa in 13 months' time and was here at my home in 14 months. We lived together for 8 months then broke up. I consider this a predetermined union, because what the hell are the chances that it all worked out? He went on to become a political figure in my state fighting for immigrant rights and married another political figure who fought for refugee rights. I saw the purpose in all that happened. He had a huge mission to fulfill, and I was the first part of helping that happen. It was meant to be!
Example 2: I met another man online. It was in a chat room that talked about comet ellenin and the end of days. No dating sites. I don't do those. This time he was located in the UK. He came to visit me and stayed with me for about a month the first time and two weeks the second time. He had all kinds of issues, was spiritually lost, depressed, suicidal, and diagnosed bipolar. During our relationship that lasted a total of 13 months. he was exposed to the spiritual side of things from me. He dove deep in and began healing. About 8 months after our break up, he reached out to me and thanked me for all I had taught him and for all healing I provided for him. He met a beautiful woman and they stayed together about 2 years. There was a breakup and unfortunately, he killed himself after that. I was meant to expose him to spirituality in preparation for his cross over. This was a predetermined event, cause again, what are the chances? Out of 9 billion people on this planet, him and I crossed paths for that very purpose.
Example 3: I met another man online. Same chat room as the one mentioned above. We'd been friends. He was married when we first spoke and the topics we spoke about were purely platonic and intellectual in nature. He was having marital problems at that time and would disappear for months and then resurface back into the chat room. After about 14 months of total friendship time, he popped up out of nowhere after having disappeared for 8 months. This time he was living separately from his wife and they were getting a divorce. He lived in Florida at the time. I lived in Colorado. His mother lived in Texas and his father in Arizona. He decided he was going to visit me in person after he went to visit his mother and then his father. We met in person, hit it off to some degree and a relationship began. From the start, I never felt it would last. It was an intuition I already had but went with it anyway. Long story short, we were on and off for the following 6 years until he finally moved back to Florida permanently in 2018. He did me super dirty in the process throughout the years. Cheated, wouldn't hold a job down etc. I'd always lecture him on how to grow up and be a man etc. I cut off all contact so that I could heal for about 6 months. We became friends again after that. He ended up getting married a second time, had the same issues in that marriage. Once that ended two years later, he found himself living in his car alone. I got an apology for everything he did to me and a thank you for everything he learned from me. He is now married for the third time and in a healthy balanced marriage. His wife is a very nice lady. So, the purpose of that union was for his growth AND mine. I learned a lot from him too. Like how to communicate better in a calm way rather than losing my shit all the time etc. I believe that too was predetermined.
Last example 4: I'd been living together with my son in the same 2 bedroom apartment for 15 years. Suddenly, in 2020, I had this giant urge to move into a house. I was so determined to find a way to get a house. I felt like me leaving that apartment would be the beginning of my healing from agoraphobia. My grandma and my mother were living together at the time as well. My grandma passed away in July of 2020. My mother then wanted a change of environment. My stepdad (no longer married to my mother) offers to give us 50,000 bucks to put down on a house so that we could all live together and help each other out. At the same time, my brother and his wife separated so my brother and his two kids needed another place to go. So ALL OF US moved in to that new house in December of 2020. (Talk about timing of events!) I HATED that house. It brought on MAJOR panic attacks morning, noon, and night. I could NOT keep calm ever. I then developed a new fear of being alone. It was a nightmare for me. So I thought. Starting in January of 2021 my brother started bringing this one friend of his around here and there. Nice guy, very handsome, very funny, very fun to be around, but had a drug problem. I kept my distance for the most part. Starting in March of 2021, the fear of being alone was so severe that I started PAYING people to sit with me until someone would get home. Ridiculous I know but it was THAT BAD for me. The panic would NOT go away, even with Ativan. So my brother suggests that I have his friend stay with me and that his friend would do it for free. I was hesitant but his friend offered so I took up the offer. He indeed was there for me every single time without question. We shared our life stories etc. I could feel his pain and I could see it. I was compelled and determined to help him. In the meantime, I kept pushing for the sale of the house cause I couldn't stay there. Finally everone agreed. But it didn't turn out how I wanted. We sold the house and everyone moved out of it at the end of September 2021. My son ended up moving to entirely different state which absolutely CRUSHED my soul. He was sort of all I had left as far as comfort and stability in my life. My brother moved to his own home and my mom to her own apartment. I moved into an apartment with the guy, who is my CURRENT partner. To me, I moved to that house just to meet him, and then leave. What are the chances of buying a home and selling it within 10 months' time? Slim. I'd have never considered getting involved with this guy had it not been for those circumstances. It turns out we'd already met before 20 years ago through my brother but I paid him no attention at the time. I was already with someone. I absolutely see the fate in this event as well.
4. Freewill: I believe freewill can DELAY or SPEED UP already predetermined events. Not everything is predetermined in life, but major things are I feel, such as career, relationships, homes, etc. What we do in between these major events is all free will.
I think I've verbally vomited enough. Love and blessings to you all!
