'Destiny' Articles
Destiny and free will. Act and acted on. Dance. As that song goes “and the beat goes on.” You create from your very nature, and in intimate connection with those around you, and your nature isn’t necessarily in agreement with your nurturing, your conditioning, or any of your pre-judgments. You do have a destiny. To be here, now. To live, and to die. Life isn’t yours. It’s not an object that can belong to you. How you live, and how alive you feel is up to you, but it isn’t defined by you. It’s in your inner nature.
“I can’t control my destiny, I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There’s only now, there’s only here. Give in to love or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today.” Johnathan Larson ( Writer and Producer author of the musical RENT)
“Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.” Harry S Truman (American 33rd President of the United States, 1884-1972)
“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped” Anthony Robbins (American advisor to leaders)
Participate in Destiny
I’m going to talk about destiny. It’s not a topic people talk about much, but they think about it a fair bit. They wonder if it is, or isn’t there. They think about it when feeling powerless, or when if feels like something else is deciding their path, but destiny isn’t quite so clear cut as that. What determines what we do, really? I appear to decide things. Indeed, but do you always consciously decide? Have you ever noticed that very often what seems to be a passing notion has the exact same impact on your future as your decision… Seek More
The World Is Watching
People often get into the idea that they are “entitled” to do what they are used to doing, and get deeply stuck in their habits and “set in their ways”. The problem with this is they don’t see that they have options. They have made decisions, and don’t seem to realize they can make more decisions. They get very convinced that they have what life is going to give them. But using a theistic argument, then God set you up as you are, even with the power of decision. Some people argue that it’s “just semantics”. I would say nothing… Seek More
Life Purpose
What is your nature? Some have said your nature is God. To use quantum theory, your nature is the observer. Have you noticed that sometimes when you’re really upset, you sort of unplug from the situation, and are just sort of an “observer”? People have noticed this even in “episodes” or near death experiences (ndes). Perhaps your soul sets up conditions to help you learn in your life? Your soul can set up preconditions, and they follow a wisdom that seems out of context when you are thinking yourself as alive here. You can always tell if it’s a soul… Seek More
Free Will
Destiny is like one of those unspoken rules people joke about. People talk about it little, but think about it more than they admit. When anything seems outside of their power to affect, or when there seems to be an influence in their life that seems to get a vote and they don’t understand that part. This is why fatalism sits so wrong with most people, and in that I should say they should trust their instincts. Yes, there is something going on besides just your decision making in your life’s path, but it is not a path that is… Seek More
Way In The World
People are infinite, and saying people are crazy is ego. Saying people are wise is ego. Saying anything and embracing it as an absolute definition is ego. We can see the song, and then we can see the singer, and then we can see the unity of voices, but the perception of unity doesn’t come by itself. If you aren’t listening to your voice then the greater song is a bit flat, off key, at least in your neck of the woods. We reach unity through the individual? Yes. This is why the individual arose. Ego is a valid tool… Seek More
Twisted Intention
Sit your body wherever you like. What I would ask you, is where are you sitting in your mind, and how long have you been sitting there? Oh, 44 years. Long time to sit isn’t it? There is a basis for moving minds. It’s the will, and does the will sit still? I think so primarily, but intention and ego do cloud it at times, as well as poisonous outside influences. So the will is to do nothing? The will is. It just is. And in being we do, we breath, we eat, we slumber, we seek, or are these… Seek More
