Great question. Because trantric yoga does refer to shiva as the passive and shakti as the active. The shakti is is the energy, the power. It is energy in which is active. Shakti is the driving force behind shiva’s actions and power. It is like the feminine is the behind the scenes while the masculine is the manifest.

So it’s a matter of perspective. Both can be seen as either passive or active which they both are depending from where and how perceive it. It’s like the yin and the yang, they are both one in the same.

I tend to see shiva as the active because it represents consciousness. But others may see it the other way and they aren’t wrong either.

Adding to this thread. This has been coming up for me for a while now and I would like some additional insight from others.

Question - It’s been stated in many books that our destinies have been already defined and cannot to be changed. We live the life that is written in the stars and we follow it as is.

Well… if that’s the case, then how do wearing dog tags/ listening to morphic fields fit in?
Aren’t’ we changing ourselves and our destinies? Our paths have changed course… correct?

Maybe listening to morphic fields and acquiring the tags were part of that predefined path.

@mgsjarvis True… that is possible.

That opens up the bigger question about a predefined path. If your path is already laid out then does that mean you don’t really have any control over your life…?

hmm…What would you recommend to read?

If that is so, then I really don’t have any control of my life/path. Everything is already planned out in the bigger picture … ? The choices that I’m making are not really choices then. That’s a depressing thought

If only there was some technique you could use the integrate the seeming polarities of Destiny vs Free Will. :thinking:

Pretty sure there’s a “OM” reading list around here somewhere… thought even in this thread but I might be mistaken.

ahhh yes…thanks for reminding me. :) I feel the question might still be valid even after reaching neutrality. :thinking:

Yes, there is one somewhere. I didn’t know if it tackled this subject. I’ll look for it.

Thank you!! :pray:

If you haven’t reached an answer that satisfies you then it hasn’t been integrated completely.

Meh, it should be beyond Neutrality. See our PMs about that.
True integration should leave one in a state of bliss, if not momentary ineffableness.

So, either there’s more “polarities” around the subject that also need to be integrated (which is very common with most issues)
or
the technique was taught to you inadequately.

It’s only depressing if you view it like that. I’m quite happy just being an observer of destiny. An observer of not just what will happen to others but also to me.

There isn’t anything I can do about it and whatever I have done and will do has always been part of destiny.

Although I have to pretend I have free will to function in society as a human. Still…I understand that destiny might be all there is. Could be completely wrong though.

There is a term for that ;

Slave.

Are you a slave…?

Wake up man, nobody gives two fuks about some human on earth. We are so insignificant in the grand scheme, I sometimes wonder how our egos manage to convince us we are special.

There is no destiny, only growth.

Only thing keeping you in chains is yourself.

But then how does me deciding to be an observer mean that I think I’m special? Just happy to be born and be given the chance to explore.

Anyway, unless you were to read my mind, you wouldn’t understand where I’m coming from. It’s extremely hard to verbalise this particular perspective.

I keep forgetting im evil, im not supposed to help you guys -_-

So yes

You are all very special souls, with mighty guardian angels that look after you, and you decided your own destiny.

After death, you will definitely still be you, and youre gonna get together with family and pets in heaven, along with the angels, for all time.

So be good, and dont be earthly, for your place is in heaven, my beloved.

Love and light x
