A Tulip Or A Rose, We Get To Choose

Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom.

My name is Daniel Rokio and as always I'm deeply grateful and honored and privileged and I absolutely love that you're that you're tuning in to this space that I get to share this space with you as we move along the path to freedom as we continuously allow for ever greater and greater expressions of whom what we are to emerge from within us And that we do this Out of and because of our Continuously going deeper and wider and higher into the truth and essence of whom what we are So this is not only a path of freedom.

This is this is the path of spiritual awakening coming into that realization into that Awareness of what god is and our absolute oneness with it So the topic for today is um A tulip or a rose we get to choose a tulip or a rose We get to choose and this has to do with the fact that we as opposed to Actually a tulip or a rose that are genetically Encoded with either one.

They cannot choose a tulip cannot choose to become a rose a rose cannot choose to become a tulip But they are what they are.

They are what they're meant to be and they can only unfold in accordance with that genetic programming that genetic encoding But this is not so with us Being made in the image and likeness of spirit of god Which simply means not that we look like god But that we have the same divine faculties that god has That we have the same creative faculties that god has that we have the freedom to actually choose to make choices independent of anything around us We've all been gifted with a beautiful independent mind That allows us in any given moment to turn our attention to whichever direction we choose to Which allows us to think about whatever we want to in any given moment And this Grants us the freedom to choose whether or not we want to be a tulip Or a rose or anything else for that matter And this became very clear to me just very recently As I became aware that I have been moving through life With a belief that something has to be in a certain way There's a certain condition in my life.

It's been like this for a long long time for many years I have thought to question it But i've never thought that it was possible for it to change And so I just recently became aware that actually it is very possible for this to change And by virtue of me choosing to venture into the direction that I wish to experience It will change my life Venture into the direction that I wish to experience it will change and it must change and it is changing.

So oftentimes we are Held captive not by external conditions and so I said oftentimes didn't I?

I mean always I mean always whenever we find ourselves in a sense of or an experience of limitation or being stuck or or finding no way out It is not because god has put us in a place where we are doomed to stay forever That's not how god works at all But the only reason we are stuck the only reason we can seem to find a way out.

The only thing experiences keep coming back in circles and circles and circles and It seems and it feels as though we're not moving forward at all,

But we're only going around around around around The only reason the absolute only reason for that is because of what we believe to be possible Where we turn our attention the judgments that we hold on to the small and limited thought patterns that we buy into that we attach ourselves to as to With my background with my name with my skin colors.

It is not possible for me to and you fill in the blanks in my case the story that I bought into was that this is close to always been this way And I don't think it's ever gonna change.

I don't think it's possible for this to ever change That's that's my story in this case And so I didn't really looking back now I didn't really try to find the way out I wanted desperately to get away from this particular condition.

I did not enjoy it.

I did not like it one little bit But as I thought that it was gonna stay like this forever All I could do was try to run away from it.

I didn't venture I didn't choose To become a rose when I thought I was destined to be a tulip And then recently it became aware.

I became aware of that.

I actually 100% do have the power To not make myself into a rose and i'm not Hey,

I'm not saying that roses are better than tulips They're both beautiful and they're both unique and perfect Both beautiful and they're both unique and perfect emanations and expressions of god.

So i'm not You know trash talking tulips in any way but for the purpose of this conversation I used to be A tulip i've been a tulip for a long long time.

I secretly not secretly I wanted I was aware that I wanted I wanted to be a rose,

But I didn't see how that was gonna Play out.

I didn't even believe that it was possible for me to be a rose And then all of a sudden I just realized that it is absolutely possible for me to be a rose And the way the sacred laws work Is that when we set that intention?

That intention as I did.

I want to be a rose.

I don't I Want to move away from being a tulip i've been a tulip for a long long time.

It's been beautiful And that's not how I would have described it back then But being that tulip has absolutely brought me to the place where I am today Which i'm very grateful for which now is the opening through which I can keep moving to keep expanding.

So Being that tulip for for all these years has been Perfect.

Absolutely perfect for me But i've been a tulip for a long long time It is possible for me in this moment to begin to venture into being a tulip So when we set that intention not only daydreaming about it,

Not only fantasizing about it,

But actually setting the intention Which simply means that I make the choice for myself that in this moment right now Right now I am choosing to begin to move In the direction of that which I wish to experience that which I desire to experience the good that I desire And the sacred laws as they can only reflect and correspond to the vibration that we offer What we think about the most what we talk about the most and what we feel about the most When we set that intention when we say yes to moving into particular direction they immediately begin to design And device and orchestrate The manifestation of our newly set intention So they begin to move people and places and things around They begin to as the expression goes The whole universe rises up to meet us there at our new vibration in that expanded Consciousness that it is possible Or as I believe it's paulo coelho in one of his beautiful books.

He says that the universe conspires to see your dreams manifest so having said that We don't ever need to know how We're gonna go from where we are to where we want to get or more accurately To what we want to see manifested into our experience in our experience in our lives Because it's not up to us The tulip nor the rose knows Intellectually how it's gonna go from being that seed into the beautiful bloom blossom flower they just Had the tulip seed or the rose seed had a consciousness They would be in a complete state of surrender.

They would not try to figure out how But they would just go there is no no built into nature Just as there is no no built into god.

There is only yes The tulip seed is absolutely in vibrational alignment with becoming a tulip The rose seed is absolutely in vibrational alignment with becoming a rose So when we do the inner work of removing our fears and worries and doubts as in my case The thought form that it's not possible.

It's gonna stay like this Forever.

I don't like it.

But hey,

This is the hand that i've been dealt and I There are no more cards for me to get It wasn't quite as dramatic as that but but still So these sacred laws they begin to move us in the direction.

They begin to guide us in the direction They begin to lead us in the direction making absolutely sure That everything that we need as long as we sustain our faith that we need as long as we sustain our yes as long as we Hold on and hold fast and hold true to our intention to move in this particular direction Whatever we need We will have it when we need it This is how spirit works.

This is how god works eternally sourcing and fueling and funding itself.

God cannot compromise itself God cannot go against itself God cannot diminish itself.

God can only affirm itself Source fuel fund itself sustain maintain itself make sure that it is forever in a state of expansion forever in a state of expanded revelation so whenever we have a A dream that we're moving toward a vision that we're moving toward an intention that we're moving toward This is god's opportunity to become more of itself To allow for more of itself to be revealed in as into us.

So everything is for us in that state So we need not ever Stop and think of how we're going to get from where we are to where we want to get how?

The manifestation is going to take place or when it's going to take place The seed whatever kind of seed it is.

It knows exactly when it is time for it to you know i'm Losing the word here When it is time for it to shoot and when it is time for it to root and when it is time for it to To grow and when it is time for it to rest it intrinsically intuitively instinctively knows all of this and as every seed every dream every vision every intention that we have that we catch Is a divine seed inherent within that seed is all Of the divine intelligence needed for it to Allow itself to unfold we need to participate absolutely,

But it is not up to us to make it happen.

So as i'm now Turning my attention toward allowing for a beautiful rose to come into being It is not up to me to make any of it happen.

It is up to me to listen To tune into that still small voice that is forever guiding and leading and moving every single one of us To tune into that and listen very closely very attentively And when I catch guidance as to now it's time to move Or now it's time to do this Actually,

I was just getting an email earlier this morning That was a beautiful testimony to this I was Getting an email Where I was invited Into a space that is in perfect alignment with me being a rose as me as opposed to me being a tulip So and so this is how it happens We pay attention when we catch that guidance we listen and we obey it we move on it we act on it Because god and god only knows what needs to happen how it needs to happen and when it needs to happen so a tulip or a rose We get to choose in every single moment Which we want to be?

Which we want to be so that's that's my invitation.

And that's the question a tulip or a rose.

What are we choosing?

In this moment on this day In this moment on this day What are we choosing?

Thank you so so much for tuning in for participating Until we meet again.

I absolutely bless bless bless all of our days and all all all of our ways all of our ways much love namaste you
