Bailey writes:
We should do well to agree that any influence afforded through HaSaTaN is, first, accomplished in thoughts.
Our words form our heart. Our hearts birth our thoughts. Our thoughts give way to deeds.
In this way, we are all HaSaTaN, as we all have thoughts not yet captive to Love.
Philosophically, I agree. I believe that we have the choice to imagine/create our own destiny and can do so either actively or passively. If one accepts that their life is predetermined, they can passively allow their destiny to unfold. If one believes that the decisions and actions that they make shape their destiny, they thus actively involve themselves in the process.
Some say that they
die daily and surrender themselves to God but in essence this can become a form of passive imagination.
One can be either a believer or an atheist, however, and
actively contribute to their destiny as it unfolds one moment at a time.
TheFreeDictionary writes:
determinism n.The philosophical doctrine that every state of affairs, including every human event, act, and decision is the inevitable consequence of antecedent states of affairs.
