Destiny VS Free Will

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

So i was talking with someone from work... about destiny, she says she is curious about having the tarot cards read but then she says, what if he tells me something and i just make it happen with my thoughts, what if i just attract everything to me?.

So we made a deal... she is going with a guy who reads the tarot cards and she is going to be listening to her past and present, but her future a frind of her is going to write it down (without her listening to it) and is going to put it away... and 6 months from now she is going to read the paper and see if whatever happened to her was what the tarot cards said, to know if whatever was there, was meant to happen or not.

So what I think is, there is a destiny... there are 3-4 big lessons in life we come to learn and if we dont learn them then those lessons are passed down to our next life. However that we get to choose how to learn them, we get to choose our friends, and schools, our studies, our likes and dislikes... we get to choose our everyday living matters...

On an article on a website called Spiritual Research i found that our lives and composed by those 2 important factors:

• The popular western view is that we are in control of our lives and everything that happens to us is as a result of our own choice.

• On the other hand the popular eastern view is that every thing that happens to us is not under our control and we are nothing but puppets in a preordained plan.

However neither of these views are completely correct. The answer according to the science of Spirituality is that in the present times 65% of our lives are ruled by destiny and 35% by willful action.

But we can overcome the 65% of our destiny part, by using the 35% of our willful action to undertake the correct spiritual practice.
