Default Is 'Fate' just witnessing 'Order' ?

you know those times when you say, "that was fate"....usually when something good happens. isn't that really just us (people) witnessing the ORDER in the universe take place.

the same goes for coincidences. aren't they just events that are part of a greater Order taking place.

i think because we live day-to-day, we tend not to think so much in the long-term. coincidences and fate are actually just 'FLOWS' or 'EVENTS' within the span of life and the universe.

maybe i'm just stating the obvious. i just thought it was interesting, when today i noticed how a series of events took place that led me to a certain point (on a path)...that if continued could become the greater ORDER of my life.

so maybe Fate is just the 'good' things we like to recognize on our paths of Order. cause i'm sure there's lots of bad things that happen that get us to where we are as well.

what are your opinions??

There's an old saying "the harder you try the luckier you get." I think it means the same in your case too. If you keep at your dreams, things start to fall into place - sometimes unexpectantly.

I see life as a raging river... what seems to us to be chaos is simply the action/reaction of one force applied to the other... nothing chaotic about it, it is simply the logical and orderly result of opposing forces...

Thus, that raging river (or life itself) is but the harmonious relationship of the preordained laws of physic and chemistry following its course...

Of course that does not take into consideration the fact that we were all attributed the tribute of free will... but, hey, I'm no Einstein...

There's 3 ways to look at it all.

1. It's all a bunch of accidents and coincidence.

2. There is some accident and coincidence going on, but you have some control.

3.You create everything, the good, the bad and the ugly. There is no such thing as accident and coincidence.

It's all you

Pick one and live your life

It is you witnessing your ORDER in your universe.

Do as Max has been saying, get rid of your thinking and you'll see this.
