the future

[claymore]

What is THE FUTURE, does it already exist some where or do we create it by the actions we take in the present? If it does already exist this means that our journey through life has been mapped out for us from day one and that everything we have done / are going to do, is an inevitability.

Hello claymore,
Every action we take has a reaction throughout our lives and may even alter our connectivity throughout the cosmos.
I believe the overall direction of our lives is eternal (past the physical) but along that road we have the choice of which path/s to follow.
Could it be that each of us have a sort of blueprint encoded within each of our spirits linked to the earthly experiences yet to be born.(I think I hinted at that briefly on my last post) In which case a physical future is already here and played every moment.
What if we were disabled from birth unable to interact with others and unable to move yet obviously intelligent. Who or whatever mapped out that person/s life. I suppose there are lessons to be learnt from all these experiences.

I'd hate to think that all I do has already been written down somewhere but if life is a gift then perhaps many of us never reach our true potential and so visit this planet again under a new guise to add to it.
Excellent question.

Hello claymore, The thought of pre-destiny is not a happy one, since it means the future cannot be changed and therefore holds no hope. Life presents us with a series of choices, and our lives depend entirely upon the paths we choose to take. There is no pre-destiny - the future is entirely in our own hands and is what we make it.

God is all seeing, and all knowing,
God knows what is to come, because he planned it that way, so he even knew you were going to ask this question.

Thats if you believe in the Biblical God.

So, if your a believer, your basically a puppet, and if your not, you go happily (or not) your own way.

The future does exist and it is there waiting for you. How you feature within it depends upon the choices you make every day.
