Is there any Myths to explain fate??

The Greeks had the Moirae, 3 sisters who "controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal and immortal from birth to death, and beyond."  Apparently even the gods were afraid of them.  They were known to the Romans as the Parcae.  The Germanic Norns were similar.

...maybe something a little vague but powerful? It's been so long since I read Hamlet.\n\n    It is sometimes said that man makes his own fate. This is perhaps true of Hamlet and Claudius in the Shakespeare classic Hamlet. Both men had some degree of control over their fate, and the fate of others. That they chose not to recognize it is proof of both their self destructive personalites and the genius of playwright William Shakespeare.

Hahah, I’m a professional psychic, that’s a good question and one I remember asking myself years ago. \n\nI remember to this day, I was sitting in meditation, allowing myself to follow the instructions in a book about opening to channel, when I was overcome with an inner blinding flash of light. Then, there as clear as daylight, on the screen of my mind stood an old guy looking very much like (the old) Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Star Wars movies. He gave me his name – Quasar, spelled it out to me and advised me to look up the name in the dictionary for its meaning. \n\nHe then proceeded to give me three lotto numbers, yes just three, and said “watch the TV tonight and you will see these three numbers in this order as the first second and third numbers to be drawn. IN THAT ORDER!” Well of course in those days “I” wanted to be in control. “Three numbers?” I said, “just three?” “I need SIX to SPEND the Rest of My Life!’\n\nHahaha - NO WAY. All I got was “if and when you need all six you shall be given them. These three are just a sign while you further develop psychic ability and to help you believe”. \n\nWell after that session ended, I forced a new meditation, forced an imaginary meeting with Quasar, imagined another three numbers and rushed to the shop to put in my SIX numbers for that nights lotto draw. \n\nThat night’s draw came and I sat eagerly watching. First number RIGHT! Second number RIGHT! (Now I got goose bumps) Third number RIGHT! Instantly I crossed my fingers, crossed my legs, my eyes, anything I could have crossed I did. But that was as far as the luck went. My next three numbers weren’t even close. \n\nThat was twenty odd years ago; I will let you know if I’m ever given the winning numbers. All of them this time!

Hi Brenda--let's put it this way: "Most" people who haven't got it don't believe in it.  I've no choice since I've got it.  Sometimes I wish that I didn't. There are various "categories"--one that is often painful to me, is the non-intellectual floating senses about someone, often at great distances, of "concern." I'm always COMPELLED to find this person; for some reason that seems almost serendipity, I do, & discover (without exception) either that they have died, or are in a very tenuous health/emotional situation. In the latter case I do "help" by simply listening, or being able to provide suggestions. I find this quite draining, however. Precognition is different in that I've prevented potentially fatal incidents, or been able to "warn" someone & direct them in ways that preclude what would have been a disaster. Not always! but often. I'll also feel a good "energy" & discover that all my friends are experiencing positive things & gaining insights. My "night" dreams, (there are many different kinds of dreams also), have given me profound messages. I do not have the single psychic ability my mother had. She knew the instant of someone's death. I'll never forget her running out into the freezing Wisconsin Winter night because she heard her brother calling her. We lived in a very rural area, no phone. The following day, my aunt drove out from the city to tell her he had died, & it was at the precise time she heard him. (She had many more experiences like this.) I've had many, many more, but shan't belabour them here. People who know me well have relied on me for the things that I "see" & sense.  Some people will scoff at the very idea of psychic abilities, just as they do about astrology, (I can perceive the 3 major signs in a stranger the moment I meet them, although I can't always be specific of "how" I do this). To the few people who "hassle" me--the disbelievers--I simply say that they aren't "required" to believe, & will NEVER get into a debate with them. I KNOW that I'm psychic, & just used these few rather general examples. I hope no one "jokes" about your question, yet I rather think that SOMEONE will. YOU know what you are, & that's truly all that counts, isn't it?\n\n*** Just looked at your answers. "Amy" must know something about you that I don't; your question asked what others believed, not to tell you if you are. But ThatLady made me aware I hadn't mentioned that I'm only a "receiver." No further comments needed....

I do not believe in fate, but rather just follow the path God has set before me. I feel that everything in my life has happened for a reason. The hard part, at times, is not knowing the reason until further down the road.

That depends on whether you believe fate to be a human construct; a personified entity used as a tool to explain and justify circumstances which effect the human condition. Getting philosophical here, if you do perceive this to be the case, does this make it "real" as it would then exist within your own perception of reality? Just a thought.

I don't know about in genesis, but I've always found ecclesiastes 3:19-21 interesting.\n\n"Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath (or spirit); man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"\n\njust some food for thought.

Fate is not a Christian teaching. God does have a plan and a way God would like us to choose and give instructions in the Bible and through sermons and religious study but God does not force us to make any decission and does not impose God's will on us. We are the master of our own destiny but with God and following God's direction we can achieve great and wounderous things and have God's assistance in doing so. If we choose another way we loose God's help and God may try to steer us in a different direction especially if the road we are on is truly dangerous. Even then we choose to follow the path we are on or change course.\n\nIt is all our choice.

I absolutely believe in fate.   I believe it is unchangeable and that things will happen regardless of anything we do to either bring it about or prevent it.

The part with the angels is very true. The ending will be as amazing as it says, but some parts such as the Beasts (The ones John saw come out of the water) represent different counties that are still here today. It is literal yet very symbolic. Pray to GOD for understanding and read it again sometime. It should then become very clear to you.

Aparantly, he believes in somthing to do with the cosmos playing a part in your destiny and the symbols are part of that belief.  I could be way off line here, but thats what I've heard anyway.

ooh, tough one...\n\nAll very similar, all stuff that happens beyond one's control.\nThe difference in on the timescale.  Destiny is set in stone, it never changes.  Fortune changes like the seasons and luck changes from moment to moment.

Life is what we make it with God's guidance. It is actually not "luck or coincidence".  Its God's Divine Providence for us to make use of. When we say "Good Luck" it supposedly meant "God Bless".\n\nMy 17 yr old wants a job this summer, so we're looking for one.  Yesterday after my work and after her school, we were not able to enter our apartment coz we forgot the key so we waited outside for my husband to come from work.  A kind neighbor next door invited us in for a tea while we were waiting.  We just moved in so we do not know her yet but she was nice and the best thing was she works for this organization which helps the youth find summer jobs. Luck or coincidence?

I'm sorry, but witches as a whole, are lousy fortune tellers.  Some have vision, but most are just practioners of an ancient carft.  What she said is most likely not true.  Burying something in a cemetary that is made to look like you is an old gypsy/santeria/etc. idea that will bring bad luck.  If you do NOT accept that this affects you at all, and remember that you have free will, you will be fine.  If someone did do this, remember it will come back to them three times.  What we put out there does indeed come back three times.  I don't believe that you are unlucky, I believe you are frightened of taking a step that is important to you.  Center yourself and visualize yourself in this new situation.  Is it good?  Then go for it!  You are in charge of your life, not a witch, not someone who may have put something somewhere (by the way, graveyards are holy ground, that 'trick' doesn't work).  Good way to scare people though.  Now hold your head up high and stop hiding behind luck. Get out there and have a life.

fate is the path you cross no matter which path you take to get there. most people think fate is your ending but faith is really when you hit set checkpoints in your life, reguardless of what you took to get there.
