Attitude Fate Limits

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
Freedom isn't the right or ability to do whatever you please. freedom comes from understanding the limits of our own power and the inherent limits set in place by nature. by accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, you become truly free.
Fighting Understanding Limits
I thought the limits of control could be interpreted in two ways: as the limits of one's self-control; and as the limits of allowing other people's control over one's - consciousness - which i kind of thought was a double meaning that was appropriate.
Self Two People
I think it's better to have limits. my limits are different from other people's limits. i'm all for freedom, i'm all for people doing what they want. i'm also all for people shouldering the consequences of their behaviors, and not being assholes, and not lying unless they need to, and being honest except when you shouldn't, and being faithful except when it's okay to cheat. i guess i'm just a mass of contradictions.

You impose limits on your true nature of infinite being. then you get displeased to be only a limited creature. then you begin spiritual practices to transcend these non-existing limits. but if your practice itself implies the existence of these limits, how could they allow you to transcend them.
Spiritual Practice Limits
Our time here is magic! it's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. it's the only space.
Beautiful Unique Space

Whatever you believe to be true and false, that proclaim to be true and false; whatever you think admirable and beautiful, that should be your model, even if all your friends and all the critics storm at you as a crotchet-monger and an eccentric.
