Dream Destiny Childhood

More From Ben Okri

We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. and yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. it's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.
Dream Fate Destiny
Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.

In climbing, being first-rate is part of the whole enterprise. the important climbers want to be the first man up the mountain, the one who put up the first route. you're usually only remembered if you put up the first route on a very important climb. the route might even be named after you. that's a kind of glory.

A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. a route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. a road is a tribute to space. every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. a route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.

Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, i'm at home and at ease on a track that i know not, and restless and lost on a road that i know.

I can worship nature, and that fulfills my need for miracles and beauty. art gives a spiritual depth to existence -- i can find worlds bigger and deeper than my own in music, paintings, and books. and from my friends and family i receive the highest benediction, emotional contact, and personal affirmation. i can bow before the works of man, from buildings to babies, and that fulfills my need for wonder. i can believe in the sanctity of life, and that becomes the revealed word, to live my life as i believe it should be, not as i'm told to by self-appointed guides.

A saving knowledge of christ crucified and risen is not the mere result of right reasoning about historical facts. it is the result of spiritual illumination to see those facts for what they really are: a revelation of the truth and glory of god in the face of christ-who is the same yesterday today and forever.

Mental or spiritual health, which is rationality, makes for progress, and the future demands greater and greater mental or spiritual health, greater and greater rationality. the brain must dominate and direct both the individual and society in the time to come, not the belly and the heart.

The real meditative practice is to open up to the full range of what happens in life. and parenting is a fantastic arena for doing that kind of spiritual training. it's as much a potential door into enlightenment as anything else.

Freedom lies outside the pattern of society; but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind.
