Have any of you ever felt the pull of destiny?
I mean actually felt it, like there was something Fate was telling you to do, with more or less urgency, with your life? Something out of the ordinary?
I'm feeling it. Perhaps geneticalopera is feeling it too, the pull to India and the cause of alleviating human suffering. Mine is different, thrown into sharp relief by my holistic healing session last night. I decided to try the therapy out, since my sister gets it. The woman who did it was trying to educate me about her methods, and about the goal of inner peace.
I came to realise that inner peace shall never and should never be mine. I gained a new certainty in knowing that whatever my purpose is on this planet, it is not a quiet one. It is to be fulfilled with conflict and unrest which builds ambition and drive within my otherwise lazy spirit.
What is my purpose? I don't know. That's the difficult part. And I don't know how to find out either other than going with my gut and waiting to see. That's tough for a person who always needs a plan.
Is the purpose good or bad? I don't think either. I think it's like a force of nature, both creative and destructive, but moving forward and serving the cosmic order. Maybe I'm to break down an old paradigm, and its adherents are to have the foundations of their belief shaken. Maybe I'm to break down an old order, creating chaos, destruction, and renewal. Not sure. Maybe I'm to invent an edible computer or develop a new religion called chocotology...
