Question: Is it considered that I myself chose my past pace of advancement, or did I not have a choice then?

Answer: You had a choice, but you did not exercise it. Regarding the pace of advancement, you are free. We must believe that in the current state, our feeling of how we advance and our attitude to the Creator depend on our efforts.

If you apply efforts, then in the end, you will relate well to all these things. You will justify Him, you will attain love for Him; and if not, then you will go through the same states in a bad feeling.

Question: For example, if in the past I could choose two directions: to the right or to the left, then even if I made a mistake, by now, has the Creator arranged it so that everything turned out correctly?

Answer: Regarding the past, you did not make a mistake in anything.

Question: Is it worthwhile to recall previous good states in order to receive reinforcement for the present and the future?

Answer: Yes. That is what you are doing. It does not matter whether it is worthwhile or not, whether it is permitted or not. That is what people do. But when a person advances a bit further, he does not want to receive reinforcement from the past; he always seeks reinforcement in the Creator, in disconnecting himself from the past.

This is called “Every day will be as new in your eyes.” Everything is new. You do not want to receive support from what was before. You want to receive support from your search for a connection with the Creator each time. However, if for the time being the body demands this kind of reinforcement, that is also normal. Nothing can be done; such are the stages of the path.
