Create your own reality?
| Fri, 08-18-2006 - 1:37pm |
Do we create our own reality? or is it created for us? Several of the posts on other topics have alluded to our paths being somewhat set, either by our souls before birth, or by a God who knows what is best for us. What about free will? Where does that fit in?
A speaker and author I admire proposes to evoke your own reality, that is, bring it forth in others by your own actions and responses to your world. This has a lot of appeal to me.
What do you think about your reality?

I believe that there are "n" possibilities and that our actions and the actions of others cause the reality that we are in. For example...I choose to drive down road A instead of road b. The deer decides, at that same time to cross road A...see where this is headed.
It incorporates free will and a bit of chaos theory. Actually, now that I read this over...I think I am a bit odd.

I believe the life we are to live is partly decided for us at the time of birth by the result of a previous life, but that then we are free to live it as we want, how we lived this life will determine the next life.
We are born with certain character traits we didn't decide to have or not have, but the way we use them to our advantage or disadvantage are our choice. I feel like lives (past,present and furute) Are like a big school, you don't decide which classes are to be thought, but you are free to attend or not attend one or don't do your homework, you just face the consequences of your choices later.
I also strongly believe that if you ask god or fate for guidance you'll get it and a path will be placed before you but it's again up to you to recognize the signs.
I can say that meeting my DH was truely an act from Fate it actually started very very early in my life but it's only obvious now that I have the big picture :
When I was 15 and in middle school back in Geneva, our English teacher had a 1 weeks school trip planned for us to London, and this city clicked with me, I LOVED it, I had the oportunity to go again 2-3 years later with my dad and loved it even more, so much I had to go again with my mom, and then alone, and then another time with my best friend. In 2000 I started having Internet at home and I really had that dream of living in london and find love there didn't happen quite that way though but I'll come to this). I first met this guy online who was 10 years older than me and turned out to be a one night stand as well as my first date. It was closely follow by a dear friend of mine who was indian and living in London, things could have worked if it wasn't for him to be totally mentally confused the irony was that before really "dating" him I felt it was not meant to be because he was Indian and I had that idea in my mind the guy I would fall in love with was british LOL When i was breaking up with this guy I actually started chating with my now DH it was in 2001 and we actually started falling in Love online before I knew I would knew he was going to UK for work, he came to know that in November 2001 and it turned out it was in London :-) So we met in april 2002 and love continued to grow, April 2002 was my last visit to London and I never felt like going again as I finally had the feeling I found what I was looking for there and that my life would take me anywhere Dh would be, turned out this anywhere has been India :-)
Now I really don't hink fate planned the whole thing, but yest DH and I were meant to be but before being so I had to change my state of mind and I did so through trials and errors just as anybody would do, mine occured around London, and what I probably felt there at the age of 15 was just the feeling something REALLY important would happen ther and I them shaped it according to what would be more reasonable and it turned out that the "unreasonable" was the right thing LOL

I agree with both of you. Whenever I do spellwork or ritual work, I DO ask for specifics that I am aware of, but at the end of it, I ask the Goddess and God "for best outcome." Meaning, basically, that They understand what is truly needed, whereas I can only see a small part of the whole. So I ask that no harm be done, inadvertently, in my workings, and for best outcome. :)
