Fate or Free Will

Post by Pixel--Dude »

Do you believe in fate or do you believe in free will?

If you believe in fate and manifest destiny, does that mean free will doesn't exist? For how can free will truly exist if your life is a preset course of events which you don't have any control over?

Do you believe in free will? If free will exists then what about God's plan? What about the Akashic Records which are a digital recording of everything that has ever happened or ever will happen. How can these things exist with free will? They can't coincide can they?

The only explanation is that fate and free will are intrinsically tied and they exist together. For example, Einstein said that the past, present and future are all happening at the same time, but we just experience it linearly. If this is true, then maybe this is how mediums can predict future events of your life, and past one's, by accessing the Akashic Records by you transferring your energy to the cards.

The above is the only way I think free will and fate can coexist. That maybe our decisions, products of free will, are already choices we've made. We just experience them in a linear fashion. Right?

What do you guys think? Is your fate truly in your hands? Or do we just think it is?

You are free to make any decision you desire, but you are not free from the consequences of those decisions.

Fate because your personality is genetic and cannot be changed.thinking-ape tv talks alot about this.different people are dealt different cards from birth.

it's like telling a 5'2 bald indian janitor in rajasthan he can ascend with a hot blonde tradwife and live happily and be rich with hard work.

Have you ever read a book called 'The Dice Man'? I think you might like it. Basically it's a story about a psychiatrist who abandons his free will and leaves all important decisions in his life to rolls of the dice. It starts where he has fantasies about having sex with his hot neighbour. He decides to roll a dice and on a roll of 1 he will go downstairs and rape her, any other number and he will leave her alone. That's where it all starts :lol:

Basically leaving all your decisions to chance is investing heavily into the idea that fate is more prevalent than free will. He trusts his life to the dice, becomes obsessed with them and won't make a decision unless it's chosen for him by the dice.
You are free to make any decision you desire, but you are not free from the consequences of those decisions.
