I read this sentence in a book by Jane Roberts * " The future is in no way predetermined on basic levels. This does not mean that the future cannot be predicted sometimes, for in practical terms you will often continue with certain lines of probability which can be seen ‘ahead of time’." It seems very contradictory with God knowing everything and having the destiny of man in Its hands. Would You like to comment on this?
My son, because of a recent experience in life
you're really fascinated by this, is it not? I really love to comment on this.
It concerns an issue, very important for mankind, namely the destiny of man and
the will of God. And the question why one person is experiencing the most
terrible things, and the other person is being in luck throughout life.
Since the allegorical fall of Lucifer, former
King of angels and supreme ruler in the heavenly spheres, and since then in the
eyes of man, Satan and ruler of darkness, this topic is relevant. Why since
then? Because God then decided that the image of God on earth, man, should get
free will and could bring about his own destiny, with all its consequences. Man
may bring his own destiny, may follow his own free will and will make his own
choices, become ruler in his own universe, follow his own path. And so it
happened. Lucifer is still indignant that such a former ape was given by God
more potential and future possibilities than what would ever be possible for
other ranges of creatures, the angels. And so it is, still.
Man is at a fundamental level, the maker of his
own destiny, master of his own universe. And this truth is much to the
annoyance of many ministers of religion, is not understood by many loving men
having an eye for earthly suffering.
Oh earthly suffering, so often misunderstood
and wrongly interpreted.
Earthly suffering caused by the accidents of
terrestrial evolution, by the conscious choices for the ego by human beings,
for the lusts, for ephemeral happiness at the expense of others. Earthly
suffering, so often caused by ill will, earthly misfortune and supported with a
heavenly patience.
Earthly suffering, as often the result of the
Earth's evolution and also regularly a situation of being on the wrong place
and living in the wrong time, is not necessarily willed by God, but still
happening in the gardens of God. Earthly suffering as often not intended by
God’s will, but always subject to God’s laws, making this one thing always
done: how horrible this suffering will be in magnitude and intensity, in its
effects on man, it will always be subject to the one beautiful law of God: "the consequences
of evil in the good sense are a thousand times bigger than the evil
itself."
My blessings to you all
