or one's own path?
fate?
predetermined?
or one created based on sequential random events?
that's a nice question
it remains to be seen, right?
Interesting how the mind is always searching for purpose. Attempts to assemble some meaningful whole of the mystery of unexpected random events. Or is everything in the end intended? What is true is that it is a lot more fun to write meaningful stories about the pieces of blissful and awful occurrences of life! How it all fits or doesn't fit that Grand Narrative that each has of his/her own life - conscious or unconscious - the story about self! Not to forget The Grand Purpose of Life. How funny the way ingenious humans come up with these stories!
But surely they are not stories!
Nor made up!
Or are they?
Fate
- the grand joke
The temporal self loves fate and destiny based thinking. These points of beginnings and ends in the time-space continuum allow the charging of one's own stories with immense passion and fear. Yet can these dreams manifest! Ingenious! I cannot demean the journey, and those shared, neither those processes and the amount of learning material that one gathers on his Grand Journey of Destiny. The Grandiose Dream! A thick ego narrative! Maybe we came here for these dreams? At least one can think so. And one can surely enjoy them! Because what other sense would this absurd reality make than the enjoyment and exploration of it! Is this conclusion perhaps predestined?
Does it make a difference in the end which inner world inspires action,
that leads to experience,
that leads to new understanding?
Of that which is inevitable.
Maaybe? To my liking the only meaningful definition of fate is the waking up from dreams, stories and all manner of futile manipulation attempts of reality and one's own experience - the return to timelessness, eternity, Truth. That which has been borrowed from eternity shall return to reality. That which has been snatched from peace, returns to peace, that always was and will always be, solemnly secured beyond all snitches. I am not alone in praising the experience that there exists eternal and unwavering peace - which is Ultimate Reality - but no other definition for fate do I find because I cannot comprehend anything that would be as absolute as this Inevitability.
What else, then, could be destiny?
Than that, which has no beginning nor end.
That which cannot be affected
.Life is.
My peace
Realising it, fateful freedom
all else but seeming appearances in time
that revolves around its axis
a spiral ascending!
Repentance in a downward spiral!
How fun!
How awful!
But unique!
Tamed the dream, or into the dream?
Ikiside
Iki comes from the Finnish word 'eternal'
side tarkoittaa väistämätöntä suhdetta
Imagine if you may, that you will never get rid of your existence,
not one single created soul nor fragment of a soul,
and your relationship to them, and your judgement,
or your blessing,
will live forever
for there will be nobody changing your mind for you
nobody to carry your load
not one looking after your relationship
for you create your own reality
In a Reality that is complete and shared
and if you won't change your mind
not the quality of your relationship
with that which was created for you;
and that we are all creating together.
For us...
Therein is opportunity and freedom,
also to be captive.
But you were created as a creator in the creation itself.
Here's your right!
