The event
Time: During the night
Date: Late 1982 or early 1983
Place: My flat at Praterstraße 47/3/3/12, Vienna
I was around 27 years old. I was asleep but came to consciousness. I found myself in the company of a spiritual entity who didn’t actually show himself.
The entity showed me a very long and very hard path, strewn with difficulties, and asked if I would be willing to travel on this path. I didn’t want to travel on this terribly difficult path, but nonetheless I said “Yes”. It was the heaviest “Yes” that I have ever spoken. In the next moment, I heard rejoicing. I didn’t see the entities who were rejoicing.
I was shown the whole length of the path, but not what was beyond the end. Once I would reach the end, I didn’t see what would happen next. The entity kept a neutral demeanour, not encouraging me to take the path, not discouraging me, and not sweetening the reality. He didn’t show me any reward.
The takeaways
We are shown a path. We are asked if we are willing to walk on it. We have the right to say “Yes” or “No”. Nothing is foisted on us. But we know that if we say “No”, someone else will have to be asked.
When we agree to walk on this path, or to take on this destiny, entities witness this and rejoice.
Background
None.
Thoughts and theories
My theory is that I was first shown this path a very long time ago, hundreds or even thousands of years ago in the spirit world, and that’s when I originally said “Yes”. This long path covers many lifetimes, so I theorize. (However, I do have to acknowledge another possibility — that the path might represent only this present lifetime.)
If I’m right, then I’ve already seen the path and already agreed to take it — this meeting takes place in the spirit world, not in the physical world. So why was I shown the path again now and asked that same question again now? The higher spirit world doesn’t need me to say “Yes” twice. I say the purpose is so that I will consciously know that this kind of meeting happens, and I can share my knowledge.
I theorize that we all get shown paths, short or long, and we all get asked if we agree to take them. Once our physical lifetime begins, we have no memory of this — yet we continue to walk on the path.
