A few weeks ago I shared my thoughts about how our 3D/5D ascension integration compels us to redefine our ‘life purpose’. Instead of a search for purpose, our focus must now become a personal intention for accessing our potential so we are not constantly looking for validation of our being-ness and instead, celebrating our creative power and abilities. 

There is another aspect of our 3D life journey that is equally troubling and difficult and that is the topic of destiny, which is described as the fated path our lives will follow and we’re not in control of how that unfolds. 

But what if we are. 

What if our ability to turn our search for purpose into an alignment with a new potential also includes turning our fated destiny in an ascended process that shifts the destiny path into something more fulfilling and joyful?

Let’s look at the density of destiny and see how we can turn it into something more purposeful, intentional, and aligned with our ascension path into 5D living.

What is our destiny? We know that it is closely aligned with our karma, the ongoing journey of retribution and atonement that we undertake with each lifetime. It is a never ending cycle of I did/you did in our attempt to get others to embrace the light and raise their frequency or to make up for the pain we believe we have caused them.

Within our karmic journey are stories of abandonment, betrayal, unrequited love, unrepentant cruelty, and our desire for validation, vindication, and victory for the light. It is a heroic battle but one that we can never and will never win, as we define winning and victory.

Destiny is our life path; it is the life instructions we are born with which also determines our mother, father, family, and every other aspect of our life at birth. Destiny doesn’t start when we’re 18 years old or when we are born. We make those choices when we choose to be born, the moment our spark of light touches the earth plane. 

If we look at our life through the lens of destiny it is a rather depressing and limited perspective. Our life becomes an effort to overcome what we believe we cannot change – the need to atone for what we believe we may have done or vindicate what was done to us without ever moving beyond that as a life purpose.
