Destiny Is Variable
By Owen Waters
In the Old Reality, things were seen as opposites — black or white, hot or cold,
good or bad, this way or that way. In the expanded view of the New Reality
consciousness, life is seen in a unified way. Opposite sides of the coin are
viewed, not as polar opposites, but rather as just being different aspects of
the one coin.
In the New Reality view of the world, the opposite extremes of black and white
become, instead, endless shades of gray. Hot and cold become variable degrees of
warmth. Good and bad become different shades of human nature; free of the
judgment, hate and fear that comes with Old Reality, polarized thinking.
In the Old Reality, destiny and free will were seen as mutually exclusive. The
reasoning was that, if destiny exists, then it controls everything and,
therefore, free will does not exist. On the other hand, we can prove that free
will does exist by making a choice. So, as the thinking goes, if free will does
exist, then there can be no destiny.
But, wait. Perhaps that choice of “free will” was really a pre-destined one.
Perhaps the person was destined to make that choice all along, so the experience
of choice was just an illusion. At this point, people usually give up on the
whole question because it has turned into one of those brain teasers, like
asking which came first…the chicken or the egg.
Brain teasers keep our mind in an endless loop until we try stepping back from
the situation and seeing it in a wider perspective. The new, wider perspective
allows for the inclusion of non-materialistic factors. In deciding whether the
chicken or the egg came first, for example, we just have to step back and see
that the Creator designed the chicken to be self-perpetuating.
When we step back and see destiny and free will from a wider perspective, we
realize nothing has to be absolute. If every event in our lives were
pre-ordained, there would be no such thing as free will or self-determination.
As we do have free will, destiny cannot be fixed.
Destiny is therefore variable, not fixed. Destiny and free will both exist as
interwoven facets of our lives. Like threads in a tapestry, they interact with
each other and blend to form the outcomes that are the events in life.
Our destiny is created by plans that we made at a soul level of consciousness.
Before we were born, we made our main plan for this life. Then, the minute we
were born, the rules of the game demanded that we also get a case of amnesia
about the whole arrangement. Such is the game of life in the physical realm.
However, at night when we go to sleep, we have the chance to visit the deepest
levels of human consciousness and review how the original plan is unfolding and
make changes to our plan if desired. When we return to our physical body and
awaken in the morning, amnesia strikes again. Within seconds of our conscious
mind returning into our physical brain, we forget both the surface dreams and
the deep experiences of the night.
Amnesia may be a part of the game we are playing in this life, but inner
guidance is always available to anyone who pays attention to it. Our intuition
is our link to our soul, or inner being, which is also linked to the rest of the
universe and all levels of Creation.
We are never left alone to fumble in the darkness of a purely physical life. Our
inner being is always there with us, expressing itself through the quiet
whisperings of intuitive information. Thanks to this inner compass of knowing,
we can always sense which choice feels right. We can always tell when our life
is running on plan, and we can tell equally well if we’ve become temporarily
distracted from our plan. We always have the means to be right on course, (or
get back on course), and explore the fascinating themes that make up our life’s
plan.
The most productive use of free will is to explore our true potential within the
themes of our lives, thus gaining the greatest possible experience from our life
plan.
Destiny is an influence that comes from our inner plan. There is nothing
absolute about our destiny. It’s a pressure which constantly seeks the best
route to unfold into manifestation.
Free will provides the means to manifest that destiny in a way that provides the
learning that we came here to acquire in this life.
Destiny is variable. It adapts to the circumstances of our lives every second of
the day. As destiny unfolds, we feel it within as a sense of being a part of the
flow of life, of manifesting our potential in the way that we planned for this
day and that we planned for this life.
Destiny is the plan. Free will is the action. Experience is the result.
That’s what being human is all about.
