Escape from Destiny

Escape from Destiny

'Since the day he was born, no man can escape his fate, coward or brave.'' -Homer

Destiny (from Latin fatum 'decision, prediction, destiny') is a predetermined course of events.

A fixed order of things; an invincible necessity; an irresistible force that seems to determine the future, whether in general or for an individual.

An insurmountable taboo between you and you again.


Fate, by Alphonse Mucha

In my 3 years of spiritual work, I have had many experiences with Gods and other beings.

And I realized that all spiritual work is based on one goal.
To strengthen the soul, to awaken the kundalini, and to reach the ultimate goal.

This is the only way to escape from Fate and the Stars.

''In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.''

''Just because one was in the minority, even if one was a minority of one, it didn't mean one was crazy. There was the truth and there was the untruth; when you clung to the truth, even if you faced the whole world, you weren't crazy.''

George Orwell


In the book 'Brave New World' written by Aldous Huxley, George Orwell's teacher, society is divided into classes.
Alpha, Beta, Gama, Delta and Epsilon.

''Brave New World has come to serve as the false symbol for any regime of universal happiness. For sure, Huxley was writing a satirical piece of fiction, not scientific prophecy. Hence to treat his masterpiece as ill-conceived futurology rather than a work of great literature might seem to miss the point. Yet the knee-jerk response of "It's Brave New World!" to any blueprint for chemically-driven happiness has delayed research into paradise-engineering for all sentient life. ''
David Pearce


''I'm not looking for pleasure. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.''

Are we living in 1984 or in the brave new world? The author himself said this, not in the novel but elsewhere.

"If the first half of the twentieth century was the age of the technical engineers, the second half may well be the age of the social engineers, and I think the twenty-first century will be the age of the World Controllers, the scientific caste system and Brave New World."

And we, who don't even know that we have been grabbed by both arms with carrots and sticks, keep asking. We look at those at the top of the pyramid and say: "What do you want me to do?" But we should not look at them, we should look at ourselves and ask the question.

''The question you have to ask yourself is, "What am I?"''

What am I? The model of the car I drive? A letter of the alphabet?

And who are you?

Are you a free man or a car washer?

With this car metaphor, Huxley started a new line of history. What he was trying to do was to warn us. Just like the car, science and technology is a vehicle. It tries to take you from one place to a better place, but it can go off the road at any moment.

Even a seemingly beautiful goal, like being happy, can go astray.

The age of Aquarius begins.

We are free of the stars and fate. The time has come.

We are running away from destiny.

Thanks for the well written post, and props for reading probably the two most revealing dystopian novels ever written, which I've had the pleasure of reading, too. Aldous' world is definitely the worse of the two, in my opinion. However, we live in a world where both can come into play. You can consider China a prime example of Orwellian dystopy, whereas the smoke curtain we call democracy is used in Western countries to proggressively sedate us, just like in Aldous' world. If you can, I recommend reading Fahrenheit 451, it's another dystopian novel, but it has a good ending

I will definitely read it in my free time.

In 1984 I saw very clearly what an oppressive state can do to a nation. It affected me a few years ago. I love the descriptions Orwell uses.
