"You have already made the choice. You are here now to see why you made the choice."-Oracle, Matrix Reloaded
Movies sure do have a way of giving messages that we often look passed.
We think that free will is not always, if at all- mainly because of the *bad* things that happen to us. That's what most humans focus on- negativity, *bad* things. That's what they hold on to, conjuring up negative thoughts, doubt, skepticism......
But why can't we think of it as something We (meaning our Souls) already chose- then it becomes to be our reality. And that reality is what we make of it- perception, ideas, thoughts.
We think that the person who steals your car is a worthless jerk and that we didn't deserve this and that it was *bad*. Not saying I would be thrilled if my car got stolen, but I wouldn't blame someone else for what has happened. Sure, they made the choice to steal my car in the perception of reality- but maybe perhaps before it even happened, I (my soul) chose for it to happen- as there would be a valuable message for me. Such as- being more careful about locking my car, having an alarm, taking more thoughtful precaution...also, that I may have feared my car getting stolen. Fears become our reality. It is a conscious- subconscious mindset that when you fear something enough, it will come true. ("our deepest fears come true.")
If we start asking ourselves about a situation, its message, and what could be changed about it in the future- we might just get ahead a little bit further- blaming, doubting, or feeling sorry for ourselves won't get us anywhere. We can make things happen, we can prevent things from happening- it's all within how we think and perceive our experiences in life.
