Signs of Fate

Ancients said: «Chance is an unexplored pattern.»

What appears random or absolutely improbable on the physical plane turns out to be both predictable and logically justified on higher planes.

Mysticism is something that transcends our understanding of familiar cause-and-effect relationships.

What does this incident with the phone call and unexpected swearing signify? It seems to be a certain sign.

How should we correctly interpret the signs we receive from the world around us?

When deciphering signs, we must start from the right way of thinking, based on the principle that the world is governed by the Almighty.

Every problem we face is given from above so that we can develop, change, and seek ways to transform ourselves.

If a person views troubles as the work of evil forces, they will constantly look for someone to blame, considering themselves free from fault.

Such an attitude inevitably leads to increased pride, rejection of Divine will, and a deepening aggression within the soul.

Sooner or later, this can result in mental, fateful, and health problems.

Every situation should be regarded first as given from above.

All our problems should be considered as a lack of love in our soul—only then determining who is to blame and what should be done.

So, a mystical incident occurred: a woman handed you a paper with a prayer text, and just as you began to read it, a phone call with harsh profanities came through.

What is profanity? It is the denigration of ideals, spirituality.

It’s possible that this prayer had a strong focus on spirituality, on ideals. This kind of prayer subtly fuels pride.

The purpose of any prayer is to feel love for God and unity with Him, to align one’s soul in the right direction.

To feel love and unity with the Almighty, one must let go of attachments that breed rejection of Divine will and aggression.

One needs to let go of selfish desires, hopes and plans, complaints and grievances—then prayer will enhance love and acceptance of Divine will, offering support to the soul.

People who attempt to create prayer texts often operate from the belief that prayer is a technique for wish-fulfillment, just more refined.

And when people regard the Creator and prayer as a means for fulfilling their desires, this fuels pride and leads to nothing good.

Many people, using prayers from unknown sources, do not realize they are creating problems for themselves in the future.

Later, when troubles arrive, they pray, repent, and wonder why there is no salvation.

This phone call seems to have been a warning.

What might happen to those who use such prayers? What happens to those who worship the future or spirituality?

They start to lose their future.

We lose our future in various ways. Often, feeling an increased dependency on the future, a person becomes materialistic and cynical, beginning to disdain ideals, asserting they are nonsense.

They reject spirituality — thus rejecting the future — through swearing, through despair, and sometimes through self-destruction.

Onlookers are surprised by this base behavior, but in reality, this is how the subconscious protective system works.

Signs are not given to us accidentally.

It is unnecessary to be superstitious, but we must understand that when certain signs or omens appear, it’s best to treat them with due attention.

If mystical signs are regarded as reminders from above to bring soul and body into harmony and avoid harmful habits, we can save a lot of energy that would later be needed to repair health and destiny.

Much depends on us. To respond appropriately to the events around us, we need the right worldview, right thinking, and right habits.

Sometimes fate subtly guides us, while other times it clearly hints where we should go—and where we should not.
