Is life predetermined, or are we free to choose the path we take? What is the best attitude to have in relation to that? And if we make a choice to live a life of service, how do we know that is not just an egoic pursuit?
Rupert says: ‘If God was a man, our destiny probably would have been written right from the very beginning. But as we now know, God is a woman, and she’s always changing her mind. And thank God for that – that we have no idea what we’re destined for, that there is freedom and creativity.
‘The best attitude to take in relation to that is openness and surrender, not just for the good things that happen, but also the painful and challenging things – because they have no inherent power over us. Say yes to everything, even if you don’t understand why it’s happening.
‘And don’t curtail your work in the world by considering it egoic. If you have this love and understanding, and you have a vision of somehow wanting to bring it to humanity, that’s not an egoic impulse. Follow it. Be passionate about it. Do whatever is required to bring your vision to humanity.’
