Secrets of Mind and Reality - MindReality.com

Fate is the life path you are already traveling upon and most likely to continue traveling on due to preceding causes and your preconditioned responses. It is according to the law of motion where an object will continue moving in a certain direction unless another force intervenes. There are two forces that perpetuate the motion of an object in a certain direction, and they are momentum and propulsion. Momentum is the force that is already within the object while propulsion is the force that keeps pushing at it.

Remember that you are always the first cause of everything that happens in your life. You can’t remove the momentum of your fate immediately, but you can remove the propulsion which is your preconditioned responses. Attachment is what creates your preconditioned responses. When you can detach, you can stop your preconditioned responses from directing your life path. Therefore detachment gives you freedom from fate. Enlightened ones transcend karma because they master the art of detachment.

Karma is the cycle of cause and effect. There are positive and negative karma cycles. Each cycle is self perpetuating according to the law of attraction. Negative energy attracts more negative energy while positive energy attracts more positive energy. Detachment allows you to focus on whatever you want rather than on the conditions that are already present in your life. Focusing on what is unseen in the visible world is faith. It is to create reality anew. Everything is created from the void where nothing exists.

The void is the source of emptiness. We may question how anything can be created from nothing. It is because everything exists as possibilities within the void. Nothing is manifested and therefore nothing exists. When a possibility from the void becomes manifested, it becomes a thing. The void is pure consciousness and is our original mind. All possessions are things of the mind. A possession is an attachment, and when we are attached, we are not in tune with our original mind. We must return to emptiness.

To cultivate emptiness does not mean giving away material possessions. Emptiness means a state of mind. When you can detach your mind from personal thoughts and inclinations that arise, then you can break any past pattern of fate and the hold that it has upon you. You break fate by mastering the mindset of emptiness or detachment. For when you are detached or empty, you become free of the pulls of fate and thereby earn the ability to accomplish whatever you want. Detachment is freedom of motion.

Everything is obtained because of prior formations. That is why astrology and other methods of predicting the future can serve as a general road map of karmic possibilities and probabilities, but it cannot predict with perfect certainty that something will definitely happen. It can only indicate the potential outcomes of certain situations but those outcomes can be affected by consciousness. Certain things may already seem fated to happen by past events but you can always intervene in the unfoldment of your fate.

The materialization of fate is all a matter of what you do with your thoughts and actions and the opportunities at hand, which is all a matter of how you meet the karma you encounter. You can always turn lemons into lemonade. What ultimately manifests or does not manifest to you in life is all up to you. You can always interfere at any point of the manifestation process. Everything is created by intent and therefore a new and opposite intent can cancel out a previous one. Intent can turn bad karma into positive.

The fact that fate is in your own hands is what free will actually means. Realize that you are always involved in the situations you are experiencing. The observer is not apart from the observation. Your consciousness is always creating the reality you are observing. Therefore when you change your consciousness, you change your reality. Fate is like a timeline. When you change consciousness, you switch timelines. You move into alternate probable universe where you had a different fate-timeline all along.

If you can resist your automatic reactions to life’s situations by cultivating awareness rather than following unconscious compulsions and old habit patterns, you are able to change your fate and fortune. You can change your life if you change the way you act and react. Awareness is seeing what is going on in the situation and the choices you can make in it. Unless you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. When you are conscious, you can change fate in any way.

You can do this because mind is everything and makes everything possible. You are the one who’s created the situation. Hence you can change the situation you have created. Where there is a strong will, there is always a way. The will is focused intent. To have a strong will is to focus strongly on your intent. The more you focus on that which you desire to create and not let your focus waver to undesirable things, the more you will break away from fated events and create a new fate and reality for yourself.

The fate of a person who is empty cannot be read. Even the gods, principalities or powers cannot read him. What can be read is only an appearance which he chooses to take on at any one moment. It might seem your mind is fixed on a particular idea, but behind it you are open to evolution of perception. You are both closed and open at the same time because you can focus and detach. When you change your mind, you change your fate. Be all elements, formless. Having no attachments is true freedom.[/hidepost]
