Namaste (Welcome into my home. The Buddha in me is pleased to
meet the Buddha in you.)
Firstly, allow me to thank you for your questions. As a fellow
seeker -- I seek questions, for questions are the key to answers.
If we receive the answers then we may both share them and be
enlightened.
Q1) Do we create our own destiny?
This particular phrasing of question did not compute for
~(wave)~ response purposes.
I have taken the meaning "future" and
"destination" for the word destiny, neither of which is
created, rather achieved.
Q1) Rephrased - Do we control our future and destination?
(destiny).
There are three possible questions contained within this
single question. It is important to consider all three answers so
the context of the answer you seek is complete.
Wave: Aa) "Our destiny." At this highest
level, the level of the human species -- our destiny, or
at least the requirement of us collectively is to develop to our
highest potential. Developing to our highest potential ensures we
are positioned to sustain life bearing viability of our planet,
propagate life and maintain life existence until eternity.
As suns die and planets wither we must have developed
sufficiently to create or relocate to alternate life providing
environments. Life creation will never be possible again from
"scratch," so our ultimate imperative or destiny is to
ensure preservation of life and "livingness" unto
eternity. The end of life is the end of everything. Everything
that was before, is now and ever will be. This then is the
cardinal destiny of our kind.
Wave: Ab) "Our destiny." At the median level,
also at the level of the human species -- our second prerogative
is to procreate. Without multiplication of our kind the first
prerogative is not possible. Therefore preservation of the
circumstances and conditions most favorable to ensuring
reproduction and sustanance of "us" is tantamount.
Wave: Ac) "Our destiny." At the lowest level,
that of the individual -- our personal destiny is within our own
hand exclusively.
Given the first two prerogatives, preservation of the
planet and species survival, we should all play supportive roles
in preserving the planet and assisting development and progress
of the human species -- spiritually, mentally and physically. In
the matter of individual destiny we should provide this support
in the most enjoyable way we desire to do so.
This being said, we -- you and I, do not have to do anything
we wish not to. Therefore our personal future and destination is
very much controlled by our own self-will. As individuals we need
not, but should;
- Support survival of our planet.
- Support procreation of our species.
- Support spiritual, mental and physical development of our
species.
- Support our own enjoyment of this life stage.
Q2) What is our ultimate purpose.
Wave: A2) Our ultimate purpose is to ensure the existence of
everything unto eternity including the existence of our creator
who is we.
Blackhawk - Again, thank you for your questions and comment.
Questions are indeed the key to unlocking knowledge. I will share
your knowledge with you, if you do not mind.
Having answers often leads to more questions, I look forward
to these.
