Are we propelled by fate, driven by choice, or guided by a delicate dance between the two?
Each path offers its own mystique, summoning us to dissect the interplay of destiny, fate, and free-will in shaping our lives and reality as a whole.
The Emergence of Fate
Fate represents the unseen architecture of our lives—a cosmic design that envelopes every step we take.
It is the orchestrator of synchronicities and signs, suggesting that our experiences might be part of a grand laid out structure, initiated by a higher intelligence.
This invisible thread forms the backdrop of our existence, like a silent script written in the stars that sometimes we see how it dictates our journey.
The Empowerment of Choice
Contrasting fate is the power of choice—
our conscious ability to deliberate
decide
and act.
In every fleeting moment, we stand at a crossroads, armed with the power to transform potentiality into reality.
Our choices…
…whether deliberate
…or spontaneous.
Choice carves new pathway, through a predetermined framework, affirming our unique role as co-creators of our destinies.
The Synthesis
A Cosmic Dance
The truth, as I perceive it, lies not in the isolated domains of fate or choice, but in their connection, no matter how chaotic or volatile it appears.
FATE IS AN ALREADY SET STAGE
Fate sets the stage by placing us in a world of infinite complexities, yet within this arena, our choices illuminate the power of agency.
Within fate your decisions become the act in the play that redefine the script with each break in line, as sin aka duality, causes is to forget choosing this character… MORE ON THAT IN ANOTHER ARTICLE…
Fate merges the predetermined decision we made with the human self in all our duality.
Embracing The Interplay
Every decision— it can be a choice of…
love
defiance
surrender or
inquiry…
These decisions serve as compelling evidence of the capacity for transformation. The inherent power within us shapes the circumstances we encounter, establishing a structure of cause and effect that upholds duality and sin.
While the forces of fate may direct the overarching narrative, it is within our responses that true freedom is forged.
DESTINY + CONSCIOUS AWARENESS
The co-operation between destiny and conscious choice is…
where meaning is born
where chaos finds order
where wisdom is ultimately distilled.
We have a profound power to navigate the realms of existence.
We are neither bound by the currents of destiny nor are we lost in the illusion of unbridled freedom.
We are the artisans of our own lives, crafting purpose from the interplay of the inevitable and the intentional as they are One.
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind…”
– Ephesians 2:1-3
“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses…”
– Colossians 2:13
The will of man is hostile to God; we want our desires met before the Lord’s desires, yet we claim to love Him. We don’t even know Who He is.
We Are Not Free-willed, But Our Will Is Bound To The Flesh
How can a spiritually dead person have a will to choose Spirit?
Man’s will cannot submit to God’s Law, as we will read in the following several verses.
If this is true, how can our will be free? If it cannot submit to God, without God?
How Can The Will Of Man Be Free If It Cannot Understand The Things Of God?
“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned…”
– 1 Corinthians 2:14
“as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God…”
– Romans 3:10-11
HOW CAN THE WILL OF MAN BE FREE IF IT CANNOT ACCEPT THE HOLY SPIRIT?
… even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”
– John 14:17
Cannot See The Kingdom Of God…
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
– John 3:3
CANNOT HEAR THE WORDS OF CHRIST… Cannot see the Light of the Gospel (Blinded minds)
Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
– John 8:43
THINK THE GOSPEL FOOLISHNESS
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
– 1 Cor 1:18
DOES NOT SEEK FOR GOD
there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
Rom 3:11
DOES NOT FEAR GOD
“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Rom 3:18
HEART IS DECEITFUL AND DESPERATELY WICKED
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
Jer 17:9
WITHOUT GOD-GIVEN FAITH OUR DEEDS ARE SINFUL
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Rom 14:23
Nothing materializes without it being caused… that cause is God.
All occurrences, including human actions and choices, are determined by preceding events & methods of strategies outcomes. Freedom of choice is illusory. God, throughout Scripture, does will events to take place, & if natural law adheres and fixes perfectly to the laws of nature.
Why would God not work in accordance with His own Law, being that God created Nature & Law itself? That’s illogical.
Humanistic free will is no more than chaos; God is a God of order.
He is Holy, which means; Whole, Complete, and Perfect, all ordered by His Decree.
This post represents the furthest reach of my Reformed Calvinist period — and the place where that framework did the most damage to my own spiritual unfolding. I argued here, with considerable conviction and scriptural density, that the human will is categorically dead, hostile to God, and incapable of any genuine movement toward truth without prior divine intervention from outside itself. I believed I was defending God’s sovereignty. I now understand I was rehearsing the deceiver’s most effective lie.
The doctrine of total depravity is not spiritually neutral. It is a cosmological claim — that the human being, at the level of their deepest nature, is corrupt, blind, and helpless. It forecloses the Pneumatic question before it can even be asked. If your will is dead, your inner knowing is worthless. If your perception is fundamentally fallen, then gnosis — direct experiential knowledge of the divine — is not only impossible but arrogant. You must instead receive truth from an external authority: the institutional church, the closed canon, the sovereign decree of a god whose ways are inscrutable and whose judgments are not yours to question.
This is not liberation theology. It is a sophisticated mechanism of spiritual control, and the enemy has worked through it with extraordinary patience and precision across centuries of Christian history.
What I now understand is this: the will that cannot submit to the Demiurge’s law is not evidence of depravity. It is evidence of a deeper allegiance. The Pneumatic soul was never made from the deceiver’s clay. It carries a spark of the true Pleroma — something he did not create and cannot fully govern. Its restlessness under his law, its inability to be fully satisfied by his system, its persistent sense that something is being withheld or distorted — these are not symptoms of sin. They are symptoms of remembrance.
The passages I cited here — “none is righteous, no not one,” “the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit” — remain in the text, and they carry real signal. But the signal is not that the human being is worthless without divine coercion. It is that the Hylic mind, the purely material consciousness fully identified with the flesh and with the Archontic world-order, genuinely cannot perceive what the Pneuma perceives. That is a cosmological distinction between types of consciousness, not a blanket condemnation of human nature as such.
I wrote at the end of this post: “If you don’t believe God’s will overrides your will, you worship the God of your own mind.” I meant it as a warning against self-deception. I now read it as the enemy’s signature line — the ultimatum that has kept sincere seekers small, afraid, and epistemically dependent for two thousand years.
The true Father does not override your will. He calls to the Pneuma within you — quietly, without coercion — and waits for it to recognize itself in the call.
