Summary

Before we take on a physical body, we receive existential programming from a more knowledgeable consciousness: guidance for evolving and becoming free consciousnesses. Rather than worrying about an age limit for fulfilling it, what matters is pursuing personal growth with determination, expanding our symbolic universe, improving how we relate to life, deepening our spirituality, and refining our behavior. This effort can lead us to go beyond the programming.

Source transcript

Do all of us have existential programming? Yes. This programming functions as guidance received before we assume the physical body, coming from a consciousness with more knowledge than we do—one capable of seeing beyond and suggesting specific actions so that we can make better use of this life, which is part of our entire existence. Our greater mission is to evolve and become free consciousnesses. However, we often advance in very small steps or even become stagnant.

We can spend several lives repeating patterns, without significant progress. When we follow the guidance received, we tend to take more significant steps. The guidance and the helper who guides us have different levels, according to our own level. The question then arises as to whether there is an age limit for fulfilling this programming. Instead of worrying about deadlines and specific details, we should focus on personal growth: expanding our symbolic universe, improving how we relate to life, deepening our spirituality, and improving our behavioral characteristics. By dedicating ourselves to this improvement with determination, we can even far surpass the programming established for this life and achieve even greater growth.
