Question:  I would like to know your opinion on fate versus the Law of Attraction.  Thank you.
Cindy.

Jack's Answer: Hello Cindy,  Thank you for your very interesting question.  Let's start by defining our terms.  Wikipedia defines "Fate" as "Destiny, controlled by free will, explained by Karma".  It then goes on to define "Destiny" as "A predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe".

So if Destiny exists at all, what controls it?  Are the courses of our lives ordained by some divine being or by human will?  Even if we are destined to follow our destiny, are we pre-destined to to so or are we in the driving seat for the entire journey?  Even if we are predestined, who or what drew up the game plan in the beginning, some divine being or ourselves?

You asked for my personal opinion and personally I believe in reincarnation and that we plan (predetermine?) our own lives before birth.  As I say, this is my personal belief but maybe even the word "belief" is a bit strong.  I have seen and experienced a lot of things and my person belief system is my way of making sense of it all.  Everything I believe may change at any time if new evidence or new experiences make such a change necessary. When I say "plan" I mean map out our lives in a very general way, whilst still being free to make on the spot changes and decisions.  This still leaves room for the Law of Attraction to bring us the experiences we focus our thoughts upon.  If we are here to learn (and its a big "if") then we must be free to think and act as we like and see what results from those thoughts and actions.  Then we can learn to think and act differently in order to produce different results if we so choose.

There is another aspect to this too. We share this planet with billions of other human beings and a much larger number of other species, all making decisions and acting upon them moment by moment.  We do not make our own choices in isolation but rather in this sea of other activity.  Maybe this is one reason that we sometimes feel we have little if any control over our own destinies.  We may plan a career, a marriage, a family, all living happily and in abundance while events in the world around us conspire to start a war, blow up our house, conscript our spouse into the army, and have our child killed by a land mine.  From that perspective it would certainly look like we were in the hands of fate.  But we must have held thoughts and beliefs that were on the same frequency as the war in order to be drawn into it.  Everything that happen in our lives we have attracted, one way or another.

It could also be that we came here to learn from difficult setbacks.  Why do people climb high mountains and explore the Antarctic?  Certainly not because its comfortable and easy but rather because its hard and a challenge.  Maybe while we are between incarnations we plan exciting, hard and challenging lives for ourselves.

Law of Attraction theory suggests that we are more than driftwood on a sea a fate.  It suggests that we are not driftwood at all but boats with rudders and our rudders are our dominant, habitual thought patterns.  But most of us are more like seagulls than mariners.  We land on the boat of our lives but do not recognise the significance of the rudder.  We just ride the boat and go where it takes us.  If only we could recognise the rudder and learn to steer the boat, we could make it take us wherever we wanted.  Those of us who can't steer our boats make up excuses to explain away our inadequacies, theories of fate and pre-destiny .

Well Cindy, your boat does have a rudder, your thoughts, and this website will teach you how to use your thoughts like a rudder to steer your own boat of life.

Hope this helps.
