AlvanT: No, you are the architect of your own destiny. You may choose to fulfill it, defer it, or ignore it altogether. No one can change your destiny except you. 2 Likes |

debspauly: You should live your life the best way you can whilst seeking to elevate your soul. We each have the baggage of Karma from the wanderings of Samsara, the idea is to break free of the wanderings. Learning to meditate is the first step on a very long and arduous path and it takes a long time to perfect the art of meditation, there is no "one-size fits all" in learning the practice but you can start by setting aside thirty minutes each day at the same time in a quiet area of your abode visualizing Divine light flooding your mind. Your objective is to be still and contemplative and to stop your mind from wandering. I will be writing a series on meditative practice in a day or two on the forum, you might find it to be of interest. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Sarassin: How do u become aware of ur destiny? |
Re: Spirit Lives by Nobody: 9:29pm On Jun 25, 2017 |
Iamsheye: A religious grounding is good however you will find that the Christian paradigm is mainly redemptive in nature, although that it not what it set out to be. You will not find contained in their scriptures the tenets of self-realisation, attainment of gnosis or enlightenment. In order to begin to learn about spirituality you have to learn about the universal Divine nature of things, you have to shift your gaze from a "global God" as it were, to a universal Divinity. I always tell anyone starting out on the quest of self-discovery to begin by learning how to meditate first. It is the gateway. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

ashjay001: Your destiny is no longer your destiny once you become aware of it. But without exception we arrive on this plane of existence with the tools we need to fulfil our destinies. We learn the lessons we need to experience and then we move on. Those who glimpse their destinies, know it, those who don’t glimpse it, don’t need to know. Keep in mind that our destinies always serve a higher purpose. There are mantras you can chant exhaustively that will reveal your destiny, there are magical rituals that can be performed to achieve the same, on the flip side of course, you may be better off simply not knowing. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sarassin:why is it better not to know ones destiny? |
Re: Spirit Lives by CandidSeeker(m): 12:05am On Jun 26, 2017 |
swegiedon: You are a container created to house a form of divinity. The work of the container is to move the content to where it's needed. Your DESTINY is to receive God(Christ), contain Him and express Him. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.- John 14:18-20 2 Likes |
Re: Spirit Lives by Nobody: 12:25am On Jun 26, 2017 |
swegiedon: It is better not to know because incorruptible Divine impeccability is paramount. If you become cognizant of your destiny then it is inevitable you begin to make conscious decisions in a bid to fulfill that destiny and in doing so, valuable life-lessons you are meant to experience may become circumvented. Our true destiny is our transformation from matter to spirit form, we wander the physical realms until we break loose of our shackles. Knowledge truly is power. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ashjay001:For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago - Ephesians 2:10 A person often meets his destiny on the road he took or was put on, to avoid it (e.g. Joseph, Moses, Jesus etcetera) Ephesians 2:10 above implies you're destined or your destiny is to, do good works Elsewhere, the bible states that: Many, however, that live as enemies of the cross of Christ, their destiny is destruction You are the captain of your soul, intertwined with the flesh and spirit hence expectedly the master of your destiny Every human has been given the right to decide his/her own destiny So you're the designer of your destiny. You're the author. You write the story. The pen is in your hand and the outcome is whatever you choose So watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. swegiedon:Nothing secretive over knowing anyones destiny Its not as if it's the ''Show me Your glory... You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live... '' stuff and classic Just be mindful that your character becomes your destiny 1 Like |

Sarassin: Thanks for d reply. My beef is, why try to rule d world, when u could have been very successful at being a better father/husband? Or having d skill-sets of an teacher, yet striving to be d best lawyer around? Modified: The screenshot below seems to gv me answers, but knowing what is mapped out, would be appreciated.

MuttleyLaff: I'm grateful for ur reply, just that i'm sceptical abt d bible's view on situations. U can always get a portion of d bible to support whatever situation u find urself. |
Re: Spirit Lives by MuttleyLaff: 7:26am On Jun 26, 2017 |
ashjay001:I appreciate and respect your disclosing humble, sincere and honest admission Not everyone has access to the bible and/or not all will ever come across the bible so ignore the bible verse and any other bible reference then because doing so will not damage, diminish or subtract the real points in the post about watching your words, actions, thoughts, character and habits as each leads to becoming your destiny ashjay001:Though you equally also can get a portion of Shakespeare to support whatever situation you find yourself, in spite of that the bible is still a more and very resourceful thing. |

MrCork:dont even think I would start a conversation with you ...dumb skull ....you have to apologize first . |
Re: Spirit Lives by Nobody: 8:57am On Jun 26, 2017 |
ashjay001: You're welcome. You should not confuse worldly aims, goals and achievements with destiny. These are merely tools which enable you to live, in a physical world, they are a means to an end, but never the end in itself. There are those who's destiny it is to impact the world, but they are few and far between, mainly we impact each other's lives in different ways according to the divine plan. One’s entire destiny could be geared towards the one act that will be performed at the appropriate juncture that could conceivably save another soul from the depths of despair. Our destinies are always for the greater good or as our Christian friends would put it....for the greater glory. We are all present at the musical concert of life, we dance to the same tunes and no man is an island. You have illustrated the point I made earlier that our destinies are broadly mapped out, but we do possess freewill, Imagine you exist in a giant bubble rolling downhill, you can steer yourself through, over or under obstacles you may even stop but you are uni-directional, you may take the path of least resistance, you may take a bumpier route but inexorably the vector sum of all your possible directions is illustratively downwards. If you really want to know what is mapped out for you, seek guidance from your higher self, your Atman the answers are always within you. |
