What is destiny? To many people it is how they live their lives. They believe that everyone's life has its own destiny or course. According to Webster's Dictionary destiny is a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency. (Webster's Dictionary) In other words our destiny is out fate. It could either be a good thing or a bad thing and to most people it has already been decided by a Supreme Being or God. But that is just the pessimistic view on destiny. Others believe that one can decide his or her own destiny. A person just has to know how to control it and become a master of it. I personally believe that one can control his or her own destiny. That is if you strive to do that yourself. If you just live your life expecting that everything will fall in your lap you are wrong. Nothing in life is pre-destined as in the people you meet, the jobs you get or the person you marry. If that were to be true then everyone would be happy, that is if your destiny is for you to be happy. I think that the notion of destiny is just an excuse that people use for the misfortunes or fortunes that they encounter. During the course of ones life you can began to make your own destiny. |

To the question of destiny I wonder whether anyone has the answer as to why we have to go through this earthly life in the first place. We live and then pass over to spirit, sometimes several times, and it is obvious that we are here to learn certain things, or to teach others something that they need to learn, or maybe both - but why can't we go straight to Amenti (the spirit realm) and learn there what we have to learn??? We struggle through this earthly existence, plagued by disease, pain and fear, heartbroken when a loved one passes over to spirit, and yet all the time we know that one day we all pass over, and then we will be happy and feel neither pain nor fear and we will of course not be burdened with disease or disability. Depending on whether we believe in reincarnation or not - and I know that most of us have to go through more than one earthly existence - we even have to go through all this several times. So why is it then that we have to go through this, whether pre-destined lifeplan or making our own destiny, why can't we go straight to Amenti - especially since we are all spiritual beings anyway - and learn there what we have to learn? If anyone could tell me that I'd be most grateful because I've lost my little boy two days ago and people keep reassuring me that he is in Amenti and happy and in a good place, and that we'll be together again one day, and that he is in spirit with me, but I wonder what the purpose of this earthly existence is if we just end up where we came from (in the spirit realm). My boy was such a beautiful little cat and we have always been very close so why do we have to be seperated by - physical - death if we will be together again anyway??? |
