Yes, what happens to me is subtle and difficult to understand yet events happen and I live with that which arrives in my consciousness!
Did I choose to be born? Did I choose my parents? Did I choose my talents? Did I choose my concepts and core beliefs (culture)! Where is the freewill?
If there is a SOURCE who created me and who provided me with my life, destiny, inner program, and core beliefs, then this means that I am not the originator of anything (really). I am an agent who lives 'at effect' (on this planet) from birth to death. If this is a valid view of life, then I must accept the reality that EVERYONE most likely lives similar to me (at effect). The CAUSE (for me and you) is beyond our being and our control. This means that 'blaming' others for their behavior is anathema to my philosophy.
My core beliefs center on this idea that there is a PRINCIPAL who created me/you and that this PRINCIPAL had reasons for his creation of me/you. The role of my life is thus to serve my SOURCE as an agent/messenger/servant with no ability to change this condition over time. I start my life (at birth) with no choice in the situation and I end my life (when this day arrives) with no choice in the matter. All of my life is determined and preordained by this CREATOR source. I like the name POTTER as another name for this Source (with me as the Clay).
What does this philosophy produce when I think about current events on this planet? This philosophy produces events which are 'determined' and 'preordained' by this greater CAUSE/SOURCE. I view reality as following this logic of 'cause/effect'. After every CAUSE an effect emerges. This chain of cause and effect gives me my logic for writing about events in my history and in world history. Did man arrive on planet earth via his/her freewill? I don't think so! Man arrived as an 'agent' of a HIGHER principal. Man is not in control of anything...from birth to death. All events must follow the CAUSE which is our Higher Source.
With this viewpoint on reality, I am unable to BLAME anyone for the events that happen on this planet. Is Biden responsible for the Ukraine war or America's current financial situation? Is Putin? Is Zelenskyy? Is NATO? Is Jerome Powell? Is Xi? My sense is that each person plays their ROLE within the overall greater picture. No-one has the freewill to create a world which they personally desire/choose. We are all subservient to the Higher Powers which rule over us. This makes us AGENTS not principals. We are all servants of our invisible SOURCE!
Life is lived in the NOW continually and no-one has the freewill to create a life independent from his/her Higher Source. I come into life as a babe with no freewill. I then acquire my being/destiny as I live out the 'program' within me (over time). Freewill is always SECONDARY to the program which works within me. If this is valid, then it is impossible for me to BLAME others (anyone) for my condition in the NOW. I play out my inner program and you play out yours. We live our preordained destiny and then die. All is determined from the program within us. Think of a bird in a tree. Does this bird choose his life/destiny? What about a fish? A dog? Does any life form choose their destiny with a mindset of total freewill?
Think of the religious persons who are described in our scriptures. Did Moses choose his life and destiny? What about Yeshua? What about the prophet Isaiah, Jeremiah, or Daniel? What does the STATUTE in Daniel 2 tell us? The history of mankind is supposedly determined via the prior destinies of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Roman civilizations. All these kingdoms were given a time period to survive and then they died. All was determined for each and every KINGDOM on this planet. Is America any different? Is the destiny of America determined? Who is the ultimate CAUSE of America's destiny? Who rules over America?
It seems logical, to me, that all events on this planet have been predestined from day one to day end. I use the timeline of 6,000 years to designate this timeline of man's rule. I then use the additional timeline of 1,000 years for the coming Kingdom Age (a new millennium). Man's life on this planet is some 7,000 years from beginning to the end. All is determined by this SOURCE which rules over us. Our Creator source controls all events which happen on this planet. That is my premise and my philosophy. I can not BLAME anyone given this philosophy. I can write about events which I dislike and view as destructive but I can not say that these events were not preordained to happen. Good is preordained and Bad is preordained.
Life is lived from birth to death with questions (no final answers). I start life with questions and I end life with questions. Is there a SOURCE who has full understanding and knowledge about events which happen? I presume Yes. The One Source which has full understanding and knowledge is our Creator source. That seems logical to me. I live 'at effect' from birth to death. I presume that you do likewise. This planet is now heading for a NEW AGE IMO. The current age is perishing as it is MEANT to perish. The NEW AGE is arriving as it is also MEANT to arrive. All happens by the freewill/choice of our Creator source. That is my premise and my worldview/philosophy. You will need to think on this to accept and/or reject!
My sense is that this 7,000 year plan is valid/determined. If this is reality, then it implies that all was preordained from creation to the Kingdom Age. If all is ordained then this would suggest that man's rule is determined from birth to death! The logic seems irrefutable!
