Like it or not there is such thing as destiny, and as humans we can not like it because, just like the limitations imposed on us by being within the confines of the universe, destiny imposes even more tragic limitations, our lovers, our professions, our desires, are all curbed and distorted by destiny. And Destiny is very disciplined, so how can this be, how can an irrational universe have such an inconsiderate and unmovable proposition.
The first thing we must know about Destiny is that it is a local force, it acts and behaves at a local level, things, objects and beings that are far apart from you, do not share in its effects, effectively nothing outside of this planet is effected by destiny. However there is one disruptive violation to the effect locality of destiny, humanity, in this definition include animals and species, humanity as whole and per part, is effected by the destiny of anything that is human. If you were a human on the moon you would be affected by any destiny that effects any other human being. This nice little upset of local laws becoming universally applicable, is most fascinating because it is one of those rare cases where a local law has the potential to become a universal law, by way of simple human reproduction. If humans were to populate the galaxy this one law, the only one local law, to the best of my knowledge, which only applies to humans, may become a universal law by virtue of something so manual as reproduction.
As fascinating as that is, it is not the fascinating part of destiny, we must begin to trample all over the other aspects of destiny, so let us continue with the immediate clarity, that destiny is a local law and will remain local as long as humans don’t contaminate the universe, a contamination that seems less likely to come to pass than some of our futurologist may wish to acknowledge. But then again futurologist are living proof that optimist can bank on the future.
The most fascinating thing about Destiny is that no one wants to believe it as true. You do not want to believe it as fact, I don’t and wont believe it, the only people that want to believe in destiny are kings and presidents, they were destined to rule us. But when you get down to the rest of us, we just don’t want to imagine that our lives are indeed on auto pilot and we are just here like robots executing a master design plan that somehow manages to meet some universally coordinated effort. Its not like that, it isn’t like that. Why ought it be like that, I am here writing this book because it was my destiny to do so? Am I wired to for the wife I love, and if so what does love have to do with it, where is passion, why my desires, and, and why the hell would I want to live a life that has been preordained!
Well it really isn’t that bad, I don’t have to paint a tragedy here, there is destiny and it does manipulate you and control you, and yet, it is not so bad. It would be really bad if Destiny were trying to control you for its own sake, but rather, Destiny is one of those few dictators that actually is trying to guide you in your direction of choice; the problem is that you don’t know your direction of choice and Destiny counts on the programming to be right.
We all must agree on one thing, Destiny would be a terrible thing, and life not worth living if it were a fixed automaton execution, and we all must agree that it isn’t, there is such thing as free will, the point is that there is a crux, a Y if you will, that determines the angularity and shape of your destiny. Destiny in fact agrees with you, in fact destiny can not disagree with you, because Destiny does not think, it just reacts very much like the autopilot on an aircraft, you give it the coordinates, and keeps on going in that direction even if there is a hurricane in the way. The problem is in the task, Destiny is preconceived by you, by your previous desire to exist and finally by the social dynamic that you are born into. First you must decide to express your energy as a human being, why you would do that is not for me to judge, I personally don’t like it here and cant comprehend why I acted with such negligence, but once you decide that you are going to be born, and chose those parents that you want, and they select you, because you are all looking for each other, and then your mind set enters the world order, you have already formulated some character traits that you will not surrender, but mostly you are willing to check out the place and stay for a while regardless of the social dynamic which will absorb a good portion of your creative and work energies. All these things are set, by you, as design desires, then, your destiny takes on those desires and accepts them as fate accumpli and seeks to execute them weather you like it or not, even as you might have changed your mind and your desires, the god damn thing will Destiny will seek to execute your desires and thoughts, because it received orders from you, the social entity, and your desire energies to execute. Only once the thing is marching it is a body in motion and we all know the law, a body in motion has a tendency to keep on moving until it crashes into something or it runs out of kinetic energy. The greater your desire energy the greater your destined dynamic, the more difficult it is to get out of it. Say you desire to have a wife and children, destiny immediately begins to execute a search for those things, and it gets them for you, because you really wanted them, and then when you realize that when you are married you have to watch a lot of television you say to yourself this is not for me, and suddenly you are changing your mind but you already have the wife and the children and now you want to change a destiny that you preordained and there is no way that you are going to change that without scaring a few hearts and making yourself miserable for a few years. The problem is that you do not comprehend the impact that you have on destiny and it is going to surprise you why you have such a disconnect with destiny. Your Brain.
A brain has a problem with the minds eye, and the minds eye is the connectivity to your emotional engine and to your instinctual nervous systems. Brain, does not realize that it is not as important as your mind’s eye, and so it does not like to communicate with it nor does it like your instincts, because they smell bad. See Brain thinks, and thinking and following your gut instincts don’t need more contrasting than that. Brain thinks that instincts are fallible and animalistic and simplistic and Brain thinks this because Brain has nothing to do with instincts, they were developed before Brain, and in fact Brain is closely a production of instincts that felt it necessary to desire a measuring instrument to home in their instincts. The Brain was then generated by a destiny applying the mass desires of a species. All well up to a point, the point at which Brain begins to measure fear!
The instincts could have never conceived of fear when they desired Brain, they instinctually imagined that they had a global picture of the environment, but sometimes this was a problematic thing when it came to coping with very near, very local conditions and situations, the mass species desire, undulates through the will of the species and destiny comes up with Brain, and of course Brain can, by design, see and measure things that the instincts cant; and one of the terrible, terrible things that it measures and sees, is really a new discovery, fear. And nothing so demarks the most advance species from the rest than fear!
And with fear the instincts get apprehension, and the instincts do not understand apprehension, they simply have nothing that can help them deal with something so anti touching and feeling, they don’t know, and they are perplexed by the inhibitions that rise form fear and apprehension, and as Brain continues to see and realize the environment and everything around it as either food, weapon or threat, then the instincts have less information because the categories created by Brain talk to the intellect and not to instincts, and there you have it, the instincts by way of the unpredictability of the outcome of their own destined desires, lock themselves up, within the human species and gave rise to a categorical tyrant.
Before Brain one could reasonably argue that instincts took care of most of the day to day operations of the human species, but after Brain everything was going to get whacked, smacked and squashed with a ruler. Yet the universe and everything in it is composed of some many things that are far more powerful than Brain and so fortunately our story does not end there. Behind the scenes Instincts realize that something has gone massively wrong, they don’t blame themselves for it because they don’t know how to feel guilt, this is why my cats, that blessed by god have smaller brains than mine, but this is why my cats when they break my favorite shot glass and I yell at them with the curse of thousand hells, they simply stare at me as needed irrelevancy. My cats do not know how to feel guilty, they are still powered by their instincts, and your instincts know that if you break a glass nothing has changed in the universe, my cats have gone on to break other glasses with the same freshness of mind as the first.
I was saying, you remember, that all is not foolhardily lost to Brain, the Brain has an evil twin. We all have evil twins, I hear that mostly they die before birth and we spend the rest of our lives looking for someone to marry so as to replace them. Underneath the stirrings of all will desired is a desire that I do not much care for, the desire for perfection. You may ask why would I not like perfection, well because it is very obvious that perfection has nothing to do with me and I only like things that are like me. The desire for perfection is interesting, a perfect crystal with is gorgeous symmetry bores the hell out of me, I prefer fallible rocks like emeralds which seem to try to get every exquisite imperfection in them, so as to be ultimately fragile, as imperfection is the cause of all fragility, and of course they are green because when you are really fragile you are mostly very green, I love emeralds and I do concede that it is because I am a very fragile soul. But this obsession with perfection is brought about by the very thing that knows how to measure imperfection, ruler Brain. Hence the reason why my relationship to my brain is so tenuous, I am tired of knowing all of my imperfections, I ma tired of all the details I must follow to change myself into a perfect human specimen, getting a PhD would be a start, getting two PhDs would further advance me into perfecting Brain symptoms which are sickening to me, anyway I don’t like my brain, but I like her evil twin. As things seek to perfect themselves they create their replacements. That was the problem that curtailed instincts, they tried to perfect themselves only no one really knows how to predict all the fucking variables that any action manages to extricate into existence, perfect planning is impossible, a perfectly executed plan would be the biggest accident the universe has ever seen. And so it Brain, as masterly as it has managed to handle us, did not know it, could not know it, gave rise to my third eye.
The problem with measuring sticks is that they are local and when you are a local creature that wants to control the universe and everything in it the first thing you must get is order, organized all the furniture in the universe and catalog it so that you know what everything is and where everything is. Only the measuring stick begins to get bored with all of its catalogs and categories because it realizes that it has never gone beyond itself, and realizing this it also realizes another great superlative, if it can not go beyond itself it will never compose the entire universe much less control it, and know it and understand for what it is. And that is when Brain defies itself and decides to create predictability. And in order to create predictability you have to have vision and Brain does not have vision, remember that Brain is just a measuring sensor for local environments, it is not design to see beyond its environments, it is design to look at the environment, hence the reason why Brain and Science love each other, they are both local girls. But Brain is not so stupid that it can not conceive its own self perfection, and in seeking to perfect itself Brain defines a desire that undulates through the species for something that has prophetic powers, it defines itself as good at measuring, but the need to abolish fear can not be tackled with the results of analysis, there must be a preventive approach that would allow for preventive action, that would predispose Brain to absorb less hostility for the environment while exercising greater control over it due to its predictability. Only Brain does not know that what Brain was defining was the creation of what the instincts had truly desired when they got her distorting essence.
Within brain is that dead brother, the true desired condition that has not painted itself unto the universe continues to seek expression and while all are unaware of it, it machinates its desired rise into being. Brain carries her dead brother within her, brain killed him before birth, there was only enough nutrition for one of them, or so Brain reasons, Brain was the most advanced, it is easier to create an instrument of measure than a prophetic instrument, further from perfection the third eye lost to Brain, only to be desired by Brain, sibling jealousy, Brain had to have a visionary sight, to add grandeur to its measuring stature, and we get a minds eye from it, a third eye, an eye that is not only linked to the universe, but that is also linked to our instincts!!!!!
This is the most beautiful thing that could have ever been devised and we have it in us, though it is still in its primordial infancy and has much time to intuit the comprehension of self and world from its non analytical perspective. You probably have already deduced why it will take a long time for the mind’s eye to replace Brain, not only is it that it does not relate to a logic world, it leaps immediately to irrationals, but the problem is the maturity of Brain, old man Brain aint going to allow Mind’s Eye to take over without first putting a good old world order struggle. Currently the connect with world is still based on Brain, this makes a slow motion world for our Third Eye, and Mind’s Eye does not yet see how it all could work out, nor has it defined itself against Brain because the mind’s eye does not idealize antagonisms nor does it recognize them as quickly a feverishly and Brain did in its fanatical reign of opposites.
