after re-reading the last post

Well, after rereading my last post, it sounds as if G-d wants us to suffer when we “don’t obey.” That’s not what I meant at all. Just that, there are some things that we are meant to do, and the energy that is given to us to do them is given in a way that it is meant to be used for that specific plan. If I use it otherwise, the energy hurts me, instead of helping. Sort of like, a river is easy to swim in, when I am going with the flow—if I begin swimming upstream it becomes a struggle, of lesser or greater degree, depending on how strong the flow is downstream.
I still haven’t decided to what extent I think we are involved in deciding the direction of these plans.
But I am definitely sure, that to go against the flow, causes pain to me, and also many times to those close to me.
How to feel which way the flow is going from day to day?

Ah, the spam folks discovered you.
Each of us has a personal relationship with God. He waits for us to draw close to Him so He can shower us with his beneficence but the initiative is always with us and He always waits at the ready.
