Do you believe in Fate, Destiny or is it all just Luck?

Fate and Destiny or just Luck

Q. Can we really be absolutely positive that Fate, Destiny or Luck can define what our future will be?

Sample answer. That’s a universal question and I have always been under the assumption that we have control over our own fate and destiny defines by the affect of freewill. Lets say if I have a major decision to make that will affect my future, surely the choice I make will be the one that changes my future for better or worse. Wont it?
I am a strong believer that we have control over much of our life, freewill, and that luck does have its place, but only on a random basis. Here is an example :-

If I put £1 on this weeks Lottery and win a substantial amount of money, say over one million pounds, then yes, luck has taken a hand at this point, but it’s still down to me to decide whether I let this windfall change my life or not.
Yes it will certainly change my financial status in the close world around me, but not to the extent of making my life any better or worse unless I choose to let it.

Card for the Day – 21 May 2011

‘Card for the Day’

The Sun XIX

The naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a red standard has been mentioned already as the positive symbolism connected with this card. It is the destiny of the Supernatural East and the great and holy light which goes before the endless procession of humanity, coming out from the walled garden of the sensitive life and passing on the journey home. The card signifies, therefore, the transit from the manifested light of this world, represented by the glorious sun of earth, to the light of the world to come, which goes before aspiration and is typified by the heart of a child.

But the last allusion is again the key to a different form or aspect of the symbolism. The sun is that of consciousness in the spirit – the direct as the antithesis of the reflected light. The characteristic type of humanity has become a little child, as a child in the sense of simplicity and innocence in the sense of wisdom. In that simplicity, he bears the seal of Nature and of Art; in that innocence, that he signifies the restored world. When the self-knowing spirit has dawned in the consciousness above the natural mind, that mind in its renewal leads forth the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity.

Meanings: Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment, possible birth.
