What's your opinion? How involved do you think God is in out day to day lives? On one hand, there is the possibility of soul mates and life missions, but on the other we have free choice. Did God create a universe in which there are an infinite number of possibilities, but leaves us the job of deciding which are probable, or is everything laid out like a map of the past, present and future?

Well since we are that higher power, then that we and that higher power decide what goes on in our lives.

I think.. there is some higher power of sorts.. But I think they basically left mankind to it.. Bit stupid really.. Like giving a 3 year old an AK-47

I believe we are created for a general purpose and are given strengths to be able to work with that purpose. How we use them is up to us.
For example, I am a healer and nurturer, so my stregths revolve around that. I have worked on developing other strengths over my lifetimes, but they still fall back to my main strengths of healing and nurturing/protecting.

I think we have decided upon certain events before birth, together with Source. But we make the rest ourselves while we live... nothing is a map, anything's possible between one thing and the other...

I believe in God as a specific personality, he doesn't seem the type to box people in, but he does seem the type to look after us along the way.

there are parts of us we have no conscious awareness of yet. they know what's right for us and when we get on higher vibrations we more and more embody them. which means that we create wealth not only to ourself but others aswell. which is great! more happiness and love results and we become a shiny light in that orbit we are in.

I think there is a higher power that created the mind... and the mind grew into possibilities like the universe and everything in it. When God creates a mind, the mind decides it's life and body before entering into being. Later it returns, having grown from the experience of life. ^__^

I mostly agree with Sáille. The big things are decided but most of the shiz that happens here is decided here and now.

Not really sure I agree with any of the suggestions here. I think a higher power plays just as much a role in our lives as we intend it to play, and answers us as many times as we ask, so yes, in this case it could very well mean that meeting a specific person or a certain event happening being "Destined." But I feel that we choose for ourselves to experience life in order to serve that higher power, and there's nothing anywhere forcing us to do anything.

Hello I find that events in my life are all laid out by Higher Self. It's my decision how I work my way through them.
