A short interview excerpt where Vishen Lakhiani and another speaker discuss whether personal achievements (e.g., a bestselling book, founding Mindvalley) are purely self-manifested or partly driven by pre-existing 'soul contracts' and external spiritual guides. The speaker explains a view combining personal choice with a divine blueprint and supportive angelic nudges that amplify those who pursue their purpose.

Are we manifesting what we want for ourselves or are there other forms of intelligence who have decided, okay, this soul called dawn or this soul called Vision, you need to create that and we're going to push you and guide you towards creating it and manifesting it.
That is a very interesting question.
I was so stunned after having my Kundalini awakening to see my book suddenly rise up because that's like the goal of every author, but I never intended it, right? So I was wondering, was there another force that was saying, okay, we're going to have to make this happen for Vishen because that's going to lead him to do xyz, which is what we want this soul to do for the world?
I think it's two things. I think it's like a soul contract is what I call it. You have your kind of pre destiny in this life. You still get to choose and create whatever you want to create in this life. There is something that is a part of your own divine blueprint that says, this is what I want to create in the world. This is what I want to bring into the world. And along the way, as you're living your life and you start to create what you're here to do, then I think that you have other angels and guides that are tapping into you and kind of giving you more ideas. Because now you're walking on your path, serving so many people that it kind of pushes you further. Because I come under the notion that like there's 10 people on the planet and they're all given the same assignment, but within that same assignment only maybe 1 of that 10 will truly serve that mission. This person's going to deliver this purpose in this world because we still have choice. So we can stop choice to go, I don't feel good enough. Or I'm buying into the story of the way we were raised in life. I'm not worthy of doing or I'm not a risk taker. I can't go out and risk taking it this crazy idea and bringing it out into the world. And so I think that there is influences from the other spirit guides or angels that are like, okay, here's this person. They're really living their truth, they're really delivering their purpose and they have an impact. Millions of people.
I love that.
And so therefore we're going to give this person this idea. We're going to nudge them into that direction where it brings your book to number one or number two, you know.
Or I meet a psychic who tells me, I got to start a platform. I have to start my own event, and it leads to mindvalley.
