Choices And What We Learn “Isn’t life interesting? All about choices and then what we learn from having made them,” wrote my friend Karlen Evins, a talk-show host in Nashville, TN. Cause and effect. Karma ... simply stated. When Karlen and I recently spent time together in Sedona, we talked a lot about love and destiny and free will. We either HAVE free will to make key choices in life ... or we HAD free will in spirit and before birth we decided how life was going to unfold. Karlen’s reference to “choices and what we learn from having made them” related to an afternoon spent with a girlfriend who decided in her late thirties to give up a career-focused single life, get married and have a baby. Look back on your own life. Some of your simplest decisions led to a meeting, incident, accident, or opportunity ... and your life changed forever. The decision probably didn’t seem all that important at the time. Yet if you could pinpoint the moment it was made, and investigate it astrologically, you might find the puzzle pieces fit together perfectly. Prior to meeting your mate or lover, you made decisions leading up to the fated encounter. You probably thought the decisions were yours alone. But if you could examine the astrological factors at play, you might find your fifth house of love was being favorably aspected, or other loving planetary entanglements were in play. Scottish astrologer Chryss Alex recently asked me for the timing of some key events in my life. She then progressed my astrological chart forward and the result accurately reflected current experiences echoing back decisions made over 20 years ago.

And she goes on to substantiate her claim with thought-provoking examples and case histories. To me, the vibratory synchronicity is triggered by planetary alignments. So ... if you explore your choices with awareness of astrologically-directed destiny and you mix in a little vibratory synchronicity, can you foresee the lessons you’ll be learning as a result? Maybe, if you’re willing to do a lot of work. What if we were to look ahead, see the outcome, and change directions to avoid the lesson? Would this be wisdom erasing karma? Or would it postpone a lesson our soul set out to learn through experience? I don’t have an answer. But if we could easily see the future, wouldn’t it take all the fun out of day-to-day discovery? * * * * * “Find Your Soulmate -- 74-Minute Course on CD” is a condensed version of a workshop Dick has conducted all over the world.
