I certainly believe that forces within us are reflected in the enviroment we experience, that we are driven from past failure and drawn towards future desires. There is always a chance to be aware, to see what is happening as more than oppurtunity or the way it has to happen. It is a dream, its important to understand who we listen to, what we respect and thus what the changes will be to be closer to that mind. neglect is cruel, so is ignorance
Fate is so much hot air. The whole world is a result of cause and effect. Even the karma that keeps you bound here is a result of it. The key is to become conscious enough to see cause and effect and not allow the mind to get emotionally involved with the observation. Harder than it sounds. x
Being in perpetual motion or flux the senses are at the fixation to be Causes and Effects in themselves for hearing and seeing together in the same unified field of perceiving sound and light.
you sound like a friend of mine. although (if you were) I recommend not viewing sound or presence as an intrinsic/definitive measurement/parameter, as it is a product of mass/identity and motion/expression
