When I was opening up, one of my aha moments came when my guides taught me that they must always respect our free will. This sounds great except that we also have the free will to resist a better outcome and sometimes we do. This concept of resistance as an exercise of our free will is one of the number one ways I often sabotaged myself. I asked the guides to explain how this happens energetically so that we can better discern when we are in resistance and we can understand what can be done about it.
Who will assist us with this question? Seraphim, my angelic guides are going to guide us today. Beneath the question in italics is exactly what I hear from my guides, verbatim.
Before we get to the intersection of resistance and free will, can you explain to us a guide’s need to respect the guidee’s free will?
This is a very good question for it is a universal law that guides must respect all human’s free will and you are right in your introductory paragraph in that resistance can often be an exercise of free will. As guides, sometimes we have to respect your resistance. It’s a bit more complex than that, which we will get to in a moment, however, what we want to explain now is the nature of the guide’s need to respect the guidee’s free will.
Now, first and foremost, we must keep you safe and alive. From this perspective, if your resistance puts you in an unsafe position, we often have permission to override that resistance. So, that is the first thing. The second thing is that we must respect your blueprint. Now, this is a more complex topic that deserves its own book, but the gist of it is that we must respect your blueprint as well. There are certain circumstances where the blueprint trumps your resistance, so in these instances, we can often step forward to ease your resistance. Now, watch our words. We said certain instances not all instances and it is difficult to know exactly what is in one’s blueprint without substantial amounts of discernment, so it’s important not to rely that the blueprint will trump your resistance.
I think this is a good time to talk about the intersection of resistance and free will. I know for me, it often happens by me wanting something but being afraid to overcome fear. So, it’s really a conflict between two intentions, isn’t it?
That is good insight for what you are saying is that it is really a battle of two intentions, a battle of the exercise of free will, which is conflicting. You want this but what it takes to overcome the fear to get it is not something you want to do. This is very common and we wish to break down what is happening here energetically. To be clear, the desired outcome is to attain what one wishes to attain. So, you have free will to attain what you intend to attain. This is the first of your intentions. You also have free will to fear attaining whatever it is you wish to attain. Furthermore, you have the free will to remain in this fear. This is your second intention. Now, as guides, we have a conundrum, do we not? Which of your intentions do we follow when they are conflicting? The simple answer of a complex situation is that we follow what emits the most energy. So, herein lies the answer you are looking for in that which intention do you give power to? The fear? Or the attainment of what you wish to attain? Whichever you put most attention to is usually what has the most energy. So, we respect that intention.
That’s really illuminating. It seems simple but it is not as if humans want to be in fear or want to be in resistance. It just kind of happens. How do we diminish the energy of something that happens so naturally?
We would say this is very good discernment of a complex situation. This is true in the present incarnation, usually. To understand this, we must step back multidimensionally and talk about past lives for fear and resistance usually have their roots in some kind of past life mishap for which the karmic justice is happening in this life. You react naturally to be in fear in certain situations because it is a teacher of some kind of karmic justice you have signed up to learn in your blueprint. This is a complex topic but one way to diminish the energy of the fear is to do a past life regression where you integrate the trauma that has created the fear or resistance. Doing this will make your reaction far less automatic and also serves to diminish the fear or resistance energy that might be overpowering your core intention of attaining what you wish to attain.
Are you saying if we do this then we can finally have our core intention of attaining that thing we wanted to attain to begin with?
In fact we are for in diminishing the energy of your resistance by going back to its root cause, which is usually a past life mishap of some sort, then the energy of your first intention then becomes more powerful than your resistance and you are able to move forward with that first intention.
It becomes an issue when we are not aware we are resistant. For example, one of the things you have told me I needed to do to overcome my feelings of burnout is to take a substantial break. I was so used to overworking all the time, that I often refused. Especially because hard work is a righteous thing to do in society but it wasn’t right action for me at the time. When we are unaware of our resistance, like in this case, what should we do?
This is indeed difficult because you were in agreement through your own blueprint that you needed to discern you needed a break. When you began to have physical symptoms of fatigue and your health became an issue, then we were able to finally tell you to take that break. What happens when one is unaware of their resistance is that the universe begins to conspire to show you that you are indeed resistant. For in this scenario we are talking about, you went through a fairly severe asthma attack and that forced you to take a break, where you finally reflected on what you really wanted out of life. So, when one is unaware of their resistance, the universe often has ways to give you pause so that you can be in a space to discern and finally be in acknowledgement that you are in resistance. So, no human is ever unaware for a very long time for the universe is always reminding you and if that reminder that does not work, they will remind you again. The reason for this is the blueprint is often a very strong force in one’s life and the high self is very motivated to get you to through this blueprint, so they will make it known when the blueprint has stalled and will try to get you back on the path you have chosen before incarnation.
As humans we are not always aware we are resistant, like we discussed above. How can we recognize our own resistance?
This is a great question for there are many clues you are given as you live your day to day lives that you are in resistance. Most times, humans have wants and when these wants are delayed, often times looking for where you are resistant to something will assist you in attaining those wants. Furthermore, when one is often experiencing obstacle after obstacle in their lives such that frustration is mounting, it is often a sign that you are resistant somewhere in your life and the high self wants you to stop to discern where you might be resistant. Lastly, illness is sometimes the way that the high self pauses one’s life in order to give you space to discern. So, when you have dis-ease, tuning in to the root cause, the energetic root cause of the dis-ease, often will illuminate the resistance.
When we are resistant, what can be done to overcome it?
The most effective way we have seen is the soul integrative process we delineated above: to look at the past life root cause of the resistance. Other than that, remembering that where attention goes energy goes gives you hints on what can be done. So, worrying about something will give what you are worrying about more energy than you intend for it is like praying something you wish not to happen to happen, energetically speaking. So, being mindful of where attention goes can often be a game changer in reducing the amount of energy that is given to the resistance.
I think this is a good place to close this post. Any last messages for readers of this post?
You are powerful divine master beings who are capable of anything. Simply telling yourself that anything is possible everyday and giving yourself permission to dream diminishes a lot of resistance. It is very possible to be in continued quantum manifestation when one is always in the vibration of joy. So, keep your vibration as high as possible everyday and you will naturally diminish your need to resist over time.
Thank you for your time!
Any reader of this post can always call on this energy to find the quantum leap necessary to jump through the boulders of resistance. We send you love in your expansion.
