    I'm curious if talents are ever irrelevant to one's true will. I would imagine that any special ability one has would equip him or her to best fulfill themselves. For instance, if someone is an amazing painter, or insanely good at math - I'd imagine that stuff should at least be incorporated heavily into one's life - if not strictly being a part of one's true will per se.

    Is it alright to let natural gifts be squandered? Is it often a case of having stuff you don't need anymore (assuming you developed them in a previous state of existence) and that's the end of the topic?

    Not likely to be irrelevant at all.

    However, they may not have the meaning that one is initially inclined to give them. A talent for painting, for example, could be indicative of a dozen different characteristics that are most important to one.

    I'm somewhat artistic.
    However, I havn't really drawn or painted much in the past 15 years. - Until I discovered and read Liber AL.
    Immediately thereafter and ever since, my 'artistic side' has been re-awakened and 'on fire'.

    So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will!
