Life has always presented us with choices, challenges and calamities. We face each challenge or calamity with varying degrees of strengths or weaknesses. Each moment of the day, nature and time have calculated our existence based on Divine Principles that is difficult to prove; yet I can safely say that every one of us have three guiding principles that govern our lives. The three principles are Destiny, Fate and Providence. If Destiny were a pen, then Fate would have been its ink, and Providence the invisible scribe.
Using the analogy that we are shoppers here on Earth with the power to choose what we want out of life, then it seems more or less a plausible and winnable argument that we do have the power of choice. Yet, based on sacred writings we humans are somewhat controlled by a Higher Power. So, if you are to meet your soul mate today or nailed that new job it’s not solely your involvement only; it was Providence who finally scribed your life’s path so that your accomplishments, desires, woes, and heartaches are all pre-ordained and inter-twined into an elaborate spiritual cycle. This is not a defeatist philosophy, but one that is steeped in reality. Therefore, everything in life is pre-ordained or pre-willed. It does not matter what you do; it was actually meant to happen. Despite we may feel that we actually made some kind of choice. It was pre- willed to happen based on Divine Providential Principles.
I know that many of you who are reading this article are saying “NO! I have choices, I can do whatever I want to do!” And I say to you; the choices you make in this supermarket of life are pre-shelved choices for your so-call taking. It’s an illusion. Having said that, it will still be difficult for some of us to grasp the spiritual and philosophical concepts of life, living and death. It took me years of research, meditation and deep spiritual thought to actually realize that our lives are mathematically and spiritually calculated right down to our DNA and ever further. Every action we take are all interrelated to a higher energy field or purpose.
Sometimes we asked questions such as; why are so much suffering and injustice in the world today and my answer to these questions are based on the fact that these things were actually meant to happen or occur. I am NOT burying my head in the proverbial sand. Nor am I trying to dismiss those who are suffering in this world. But the truth of the matter is that life has always presented us with varying degrees of Hope, Faith and Fear for these are the pillars of our existence. When man was but a mere nomadic traveler he learned simple things, yet he persevered to more challenging paths and complex thought processes and even so we are still evolving. Time has never stopped nor have the calculations that governed our life’s path through the working of Destiny, Fate and Providence ceased operate.
The choices we make in life are limited (somewhat local in thought) example; drinking a glass of water, going to the bathroom and so on. So-called choices such as going to work, traveling and meeting your soul mate are all calculated with a little involvement on our part. Even though these things were meant to happen it is always a simple surprise when life and Providence present new challenges to each of us.
