What is destiny? If it is something static, then can it be something at all?Can we really control our destiny?
What is wanting?Can we really get whatever we 'want'?
It might help to explore the process of doing things subconsciously. Why are these done without our active thought, like brushing hair out of our eyes or walking..Or do can we only plant the seeds and not know when they will grow or what they will grow into?
I don't think this is a "one size fits all" proposition.
Imagine two people.
One is a poor, disabled woman living hand-to-mouth on the streets of Calcutta. She has a big fund of innate intelligence, but her physical and social limits make it difficult for her to escape her Untouchable status.
The other is a white American male from an upper middle-class family, who has just received his acceptance letter from Harvard University.
Both are intelligent people. Yet the differences in their backgrounds give them very different possibilities for self-determination.
Or imagine twins, where one is brain-damaged at birth yet the other grows up to follow his dream career.
Then surely astrology should have something to say about this. Suppose you are born with sun conjunct Mars trine Uranus. You might well grow up believing in your God-given self-determination. But what if you are born with Saturn-Pluto opposite your sun? You might believe you never get a lucky break because enormous forces more powerful than you conspire to prevent your happiness.

Think of a giant piece of paper that has many fibers that construct it. Say that this paper is our destiny. Put it way in the distance and travel towards it. Overall the paper isn't moving or changing, but the pieces that construct it are all different shapes and angles. Destiny may be the act of reaching the paper, but where you land upon it can produce different results/feelings based upon the fibers you've become lodged between.Why can't it be something if it is static?
The Earth may look static and unchanging from a great distance, but up close on it's surface you see many things occurring, many parts that all layer and interact.
Everything looks static from a distance when the parts that construct it are blurred together.. So.. What does destiny look like from a distance.. It looks like a generalized static thing that has all the details blurred together.. but destiny up close looks much different, it looks like our present moment, with all the nuances and variability involved.
So what do we control here? I would think that you'd have a harder time trying to control something further away from you, so it would see that the closer we get to our self on a precise and sharp level the more control emerges from this focus. We have to be WILLING to look at ourselves deeply and steadily.
Now, just because we may or may not have control, what makes us choose to do something? Do we have a choice?.. If we are stuck.. or being pressured and constantly pushed by everything surrounding us due to their blindness and FREE lives.. then those who have more focus will try to relieve the pressure that tries to dampen the WILL by maneuvering/acting with a determined line..
Yes, I think that makes sense. I would think essentially we make up destiny, like an abstraction that can be interpreted multiple ways.. like seeing images in clouds.So essentially no matter what we do 'destiny' will play out. Because if destiny is the earth, whatever we do on the micro level will still be aligned with destiny to some extent.
Looking inwards at the pressures that are effecting us can tighten your focus up into a micro level whereas looking outwards causes your focus to begin to expand and become less precise (there are boundaries of space that distort things, and these need to be crossed in order to dig into things).What do you mean?
I don't think things fail, but rather they just get misaligned, like having your vision become construed due to something that gets in the way. The destiny is still there, but now you're heading down a different path. The failure is felt when you want what you were originally after, but for whatever reason it appears as if you can't get to it due to the new circumstances.. Perhaps failure is a sense of loss / being lost.So are you saying that with a determined line and focus you have a lot of control over your life? But failure happens often so how much control do we have?...
On one end you have the law of attraction on the other you have total acceptance and emptiness. Can we really control our destiny? Can we really get whatever we 'want'? Or do can we only plant the seeds and not know when they will grow or what they will grow into?
No doubt you are familiar with the saying, "Let go and let God."
Can you be more specific? An example? One size does not fit all.
I don't think anyone actually knows precisely.
I believe it's somewhere in the region of none to a bit.
I think not knowing is just that- not knowing. When you look and see, you find out. In other words, you get out what you put in. Everyone uses patterns and key-points to which they work by. It's how everything stays doing what everything does. You just have to look at what patterns people use and you'll find a line that you can fall into to get through it all, or at least someplace else.
When you look into things, there are details described on the topography of everything, and it effects how everyone acts, similarly to water on a mountain will funnel into river channels. It's predictive if you can trace the angles to everything, you just have to know what to look for (how to translate the language/information).
