Destiny Or The Alternative?
Good morning, All.
Judging from several of the e-mails I received, the past month proved to be one of frustration, uncertainty, and unwanted transition for many of you. Though you have surely heard it time and again, 'tis the way of life. Life is all about change and while those changes are oft no' to one's liking, there is reason for it. One may no' understand it at the particular time, but one must be amenable, if no' amiable, to what lies ahead. Of the many feelings and emotions some of you expressed, hatred reared it's head more than any other emotion.
Hatred is a strong word for a most detrimental feeling which only serves it' s evil master; the Lord of darkness. I implore each of you with such a feeling to examine the reasons behind it. Look inward then ask yourself why you would allow things to come to that, for in most cases you will discover that 'tis simply that events and situations did no' go according to your plan. And when such happens, 'tis the bane of mankind to lay the blame at the feet of another, or and institution. Put aside your anger long enough to honestly and thoroughly question your motives (an exercise no one of us likes to do), and mayhap you will discover that blame was never an issue to begin with.
'Tis the Fates who provide for one's destiny, but 'tis the one who is destined who must drive their vehicle of life. Further, consider the choices you made and then consider all that your choices entailed to begin with and mayhap you will discover that, as many of us do, you chose only to look at the benefits you expected to reap, and ignored the alternative possibilities that were right before your eyes. Nothing good in this life comes without a price to be paid; whether personally, financially, or otherwise. Whomever thinks differently is due for a reality check; as many of you are now discovering. I will now speak to some of you, personally.
To Greg in Maryland: By your own admission, 'twas your choice to follow the path of least resistance. In doing so you allowed your lack of ambition to cloud your good judgement. One's future lies in one's ambition; strengths of will, desire to work hard for what one desires, and choices made with good intent. 'Tis no' your superior's job to provide for your wants and needs but your job to pursue them in the correct manner. Hating him for no' 'giving' you the promotion, without you having worked for it, is both childish and foolish. Promotions are no' predicated on the length of time with an organization, but on ability. And now you say you wish you had pursued a different career; the one you truly wanted but were unwilling to spend the longer time in school to attain. Choices, Greg; yours, no' your superior's, and your willingness to ride the gravy train without putting forth any real effort landed you where you are. Take heed, and do something about your situation for 'tis never too late to go back and seek your true destiny.
To Mona in Texas: Hatred is the tool by which one will fall by one's own hand. 'Twas no' the work of your spouse that led to the demise of your marriage, but by your own admission; your 'all-consuming' desire to be what you were obviously no' meant to be. Choices, Mona; yours. When your husband told you he did no' understand, feared for his and your safety if you pursued that avenue, you should have listened. No' everyone is cut out to accept, much less understand, things of a dark nature. One does no' simply 'become' a master or mistress of such things without certain inherent qualities. There are many who play at it, and your playing destroyed your marriage; the price you paid for your selfishness. Your request for me to send 'someone' to assist you in dealing him misery tells me what kind of person you truly are. Sounds to me that the man made a lucky escape, else if you loved him as you proclaim you did, you would have taken his feelings and fears into consideration. That you did no' do so speaks the truth. You are now faced with some very difficult and life-altering decisions; choices, that will either make you or break you. Bring harm to another, the man who was openly honest with you, and the Fates will deal harshly with you. Continue to pursue the Black Arts and you will fail your true destiny; of that I am certain. Beware, for those you have chosen to call friends are ready and willing to help you seal your fate.
To Onyxroots in Germany: My heart is heavy with your burden but hatred is no' the answer. Look within and seek the knowledge that lies waiting to be discovered. You are of a higher intelligence than to allow those things to drive your emotions to this negative point. Trust in your Maker, for you are no' ever alone. Seek your answers in your own choices, my friend. 'Tis another step you will be taking along your intended path, and one that must be taken without those things that can only cloud your judgement. Difficult as it will be, set aside frustration and hatred and arm yourself with the desire to complete your task to the best of your ability. Then, and only then will you understand where your path leads you. You are destined to be a leader, so lead; a confidant, so listen; a counselor, so advise. You are a truth-finder and your mission is before you, in all that you say and do. 'Tis most difficult to leave behind your loved ones, but know that short leaving is part of your destiny, as well as theirs. They are strong, as you are, and all will come right in the end. Remember, too, that what you are doing and all that you are about has much to do with your fellow comrades. Your destiny is entwined with theirs for a purpose, and many lives depend upon your ability to rise above your own feelings and emotions. Go forward with the knowledge that your father and your uncle will guide you. Seek their counsel and they will no' fail you. Duty and honor are heavy burdens, but one's you were meant to carry, so carry them well and in good faith and you will exceed your own expectations. The white light of protection surrounds you and yours. Blessed May You Be.
To Mercy in Idaho: 'Tis no' your burden you have taken on; one that fuels your self-destructive hatred. 'Twas no' in your ability to save the child, nor was it meant to be. There is purpose in all things, even death and the manner of that. Did you ever stop to consider that her job on this plane was done? Each of us has tasks we are meant to complete in a given amount of time, and even if that time appears to us to be cut short, that was the time she was allotted. Do no' despair so, Mercy, for you gave all that you had. 'Tis he who owns the hand by which the child was traumatized who will pay for his deeds. Take heart in knowing the Fates will avenge the wrongs done her. Be careful your self-hatred does no' spin you out of control so that your own destiny is skewed. You are human, and as such, you can no' create miracles. You are well named for you have a kind heart and a caring nature and those will see you along your true path. Your destiny shines bright and once the darkness of despair lifts, you will recognize that path. Go forward from that dark place and leave behind your thoughts of having failed the child. Blessed May You Be.
'Tis my hope that the rest of you will glean something of value to apply to your own lives from the above messages. The hate and blame game does nothing more than allow one to absolve one of one's own pain, fear, and frustration. And while none of us wish to experience those, 'tis part and parcel of life. See and use them as challenges and you will make great strides along your path in life. Use them for weapons and you will only stumble around in the darkness; never certain, never content, never fully realizing your potential. What say you? Blessed May You Be, Dream Teller.
