What if our live’s are pre-determined? We have all heard the theories, and i am not going to list them all here. In a nutshell, our life has been planned out. Everything that has happenned and will happen is all part of a script.
Do you believe that?
I do and do not in a sense. There is much to uncover and discover within life and existence, and i am a firm believer that we humans, the majority, are mentally lazy and conditioned to just be this. The conditioning comes into the aspect that for many, it is easier to just live and not try to understand what life and existence are. We can not prove any of it so what is the point?
Maybe we sit there and plan each life that we live, maybe we don’t. Maybe there is only one life, maybe multiple and even infinite. There seems to be no way to ever truly know, so why bother? Might as well just plug away with this dead end existence and make it as painless as possible, if that is even a thing. I believe that that way of thought, unconsciously, is how we all feel. Whats the point to it all? This is why we have so much unrest and disatisfaction within our own live’s. The sense that we really don’t have purpose, or at least meaning for being. How depressing.
At least, this ishow i feel.
I like the theory that we are eternal, that our consciousness is infinite. That this life we choose, but not everything can be planned, because would that not defeat the purpose of coming into this existence with the purpose of learning and experiencing? Hence comes into the equation, Tabula Rasa. John Locke, (1632 – 1704) “At birth, the mind is a “Blank Slate” without rules for processing data, and that data is added and rules for processing are formed soley by one’s sensory experiences.”
This is how we learn and experience to continuall expand our consciousness, each life. With the veil of forgetfulness, we must start all over again in each life. I do like to experiment with my own, but at times there does seem to be almost like child locks on my own perceptions and beliefs, which i find at times very difficult to change. If we do get to determine our life and get to plan it and determine what will happen and how, does that mean that we do not have free will to decide how we live our life, while being in this life? I find that a little far fetched myself. Also, something twists inside me when that thought surfaces, I do not have free will? Everything is already pre-determined? It doesn’t feel right. I think for any one that has firm convinctions that everything in life is set in stone, and that everything is already planned and there is nothing that they can do, have just given up living with purpose.
i think that we get to choose this life, and many of its situations and circumstances for a chance to learn and experience new, to add more to our ever expanding consciousness. But, also, we have insightfully integrated small packets of memories or thoughts, intuition, into certian aspects of each situation and scenario within our life.
It is when we become aware of these small occurances, that stimulate a new thought process, one that we have artfully conspired to help us experience and learn on a higher level of knowing and understanding. This is the ascension into the higher realms of knowing and understanding. But there is not just one ascension, it is continual and ongoing every moment and every thought of our existence. It is when we do not come into this pre-determined awareness, that we do not ascend.
