Do you believe in fate/destiny?
The more I watch events unfold in close accordance with astrological influences- both mundane (geographical) and personal, I accept that we live in a matrix that affects each individual differently- yet unwinds our life like clockwork. “We have been waiting our whole lives “ for any given moment.
so the universe orchestrates forces, to create both challenges and harmony.
the main thing we hu)e)-mans have free will with is our language- and thoughts. Thoughts could well be contraction for thou ought(s)! So judgments we place on ourselves and others stir our mind. Minding arises from outside concerns. As we are stirred we’re moved by feelings and sensations.
Focusing on what’s in front of us and paying attention to our own business- life simplifies.
We engage with ‘higher vibrations ’ of planetary influences. As we come to understand higher possibilities for planetary influence, we can embody those instead of focusing on extremes of addictions and destruction as we do now.
As we gain a steadier sense of realistic optimism- we can ~incidentally help others too. Everyone crossing our path, no matter how trivially, is part of our destiny too. Or so I like to think and have mostly found to be true in my life. There are always silver linings even if they are a bit tarnished.
Here’s an old essay i wrote about fate vs freewill which touches on this question.
