present, past, future ... What is time?Whether a person is a full member of this "action", or do we just silent "subordinates" Her Majesty's fate?It is impossible to give a definite answer.Some believe that the time - it is irreversible movement, occurring in only one direction - from the past through the present into the future, and people able to choose how he go with this trend ... Others argue that the future - a blank sheet of paper, and ourdesires, thoughts, actions - those colors and shades by mixing them we create a picture of life.But there is also the opposite view - a blind belief in fate, in that all the events we are already meant to be, and people are not free to choose.What does fate ...
inevitability of fate
Once the Roman Emperor Domitian (51-96 gg. BC. E.) And the famous astrologer Askletarion a talk about the inevitability of fate.The Emperor asked what the stars say about the last minutes of the life of the prophet.The answer was unexpected - his death will come soon, and his body will break a pack of dogs.Domitian laughed, and immediately ordered the killing of the predictor.On the same evening, during dinner, the pompous emperor boasted to friends of his resourcefulness and courage, because he managed to cheat the very fate and destined to change.All those present supported the governor is not one glass of wine, except for one person - mime actor Latina.He was sullen and silent.This was pointed out Domitian and asked him what happened, why he did not share the general rejoicing?On the actor she said that just today he passed the area where you would normally burn criminals, and saw the body brought by the astrologer.Fire failed to ignite.He always quenched by strong gusts of wind.And after a while comedian saw a pack of wild dogs tearing apart the corpse of poor Askletarion ...
So what is our life - fate or freedom?
And if you imagine the life of a single person as a kind of journey, say, on a train from point A to point B?Here the passenger sitting next to the window, idly sipping lemon tea and rush past and then successive types - forest, river, bridge, planted fields, towns ... He can not see in advance lonely standing tree or large rock on the side of the road.He will notice them only in that brief moment when they caught up with him.However, this does not mean that the tree and the stone did not exist until now.They were always there.So, what is happening to us in the future events are not born and formed as a result of something or for something, or rather, they are really there for some reason.The causal relationship exists, but it is in any case already "is present", as parallel laid steel rails, so necessary for the movement of trains, and pre-designed itinerary, and must meet along the way scenery ... In other words, it is impossible to influence orchange the event in the future, and it is impossible to review actions in the past.They are clearly interrelated, but from the moment of birth, they were written in the script of life.From this sum, and the very concept of fate.It's fate, predestination, both with a "plus" - Fortune, brings good luck and joy, and in a negative sense - rock endowed with malice and cunning.
in occult sciences consider such elementary properties of fate as completeness, correctness with respect to the matter and the hierarchy.Check these things is difficult, perhaps even impossible.Therefore, the basic properties of fate will be considered irreversible and unchangeable.
And what is the freedom?
Freedom in the sense that it understands the people - the opportunity to determine to choose their life orientation, is nothing but an illusion, the greatest error, and quite dangerous.With a clear definition of the coordinate system for the continuous flow of time - second, minute, hour, day, night, day, and so on - people became embroiled in a kind of game.A single picture is split into parts, and we are like children, gather all the pieces of the puzzle together.At first glance, this is exciting, interesting and helps to navigate in the material world.On the other hand, the man grabbed by the arm, and he unwittingly becomes a hostage of this entertaining "game."He finds it difficult to part with the past, doubt stifle this movement, and there is persistent fear of the future.And how would we justify to ourselves that there is nothing to fear, however much we may set new, stronger door with a thousand locks, and no cracks plastered around various anxiety and fear, replacing each other, still find a loophole and crawls.Why is that?If we took the responsibility, all around weighed, measured, felt, and in the end gave all things the definition, it means that we are able to judge this great "economy."And now here we are, of course, lies in wait for the trap.A proud mind has neither the knowledge nor the spirit, nor the capacity to "stand at the helm," and at the same time he can not turn back, and to abdicate, "the ruler of destinies", and quietly in the hands of fate.Is this freedom?
What if initially recognize their shortcomings, inconsistency, take it, but not as a disadvantage, as well as the amazing and our inalienable dignity.Then what happens?Perhaps, then, remain at the mercy of fate - is not meant to be under the unbearable weight of being shudder at the words "bad luck" or to renounce freedom and become what is called a slave to fate, which means to live a wonderful life without looking back at the past, atexperience, stereotypes, the opinions of others, without stifling fear of the future.Do what must be - and be what will happen.Be responsible for each step, but not from fear, but of love, and then, perhaps, the power of fate - is a powerful, irresistible, but the same "tailwind" who wishes all seafarers before a long voyage.
