Playing Chess With Destiny.

Could Future be Changed?

The most strange aspect of the Destiny is :

The Future. 

Still another even more difficult question to answer is :

How far and how much do we remember a dream? Why we most often tend to forget a dream very soon, almost imperceptibly? 

Simple Logic tells us that even if sometimes we know Future, we can't change it at all. Suppose we can change it, then how you can say you changed it? Changing it implies what you knew was really not the Future but only a glimpse of it. Because if you knew exactly it, you just can't change it, and if you can change it means you didn't know.

Still when we remember a dream as soon as we wake up from the dream, it goes fading on by and by.

This gives us a clue how we could possibly interfere with how it unfolds at the right and exact time in near or distant Future. We can also say : In this way Destiny plays upon itself.

It gave us an option to change the course of the forthcoming Future.

Usually we tend to accept blindly and believe that Future / Destiny could be changed. Isn't this paradoxical? If we doubt it, there will be no more a question of "Free-will". Still the fear or the hope about that Future remains and we like or dislike only a part of it. Then we want and try to change another part, and believe to effect this change in the Future that we knew through the dream.

So this is the trick that our mind plays with itself all the time. We, or rather the mind in this way keeps on oscillating between the idea of our "Free will" and of exercising our efforts in order to control the possible outcome that ether we like or dislike.

The most important aspect of this whole thing is that we miss to look carefully enough and tend to enquire into if we are what we call our "mind" or if we are not this thing mind, which is always a changeful phenomenon. We are never nor could be this thing, but something quite distinct, unaffected and untouched, and just because of ignorance and inadvertence, we at once due to In-attention, identify ourself though wrongly, as if we were this Changeful phenomenon, and then in this very moment,  emerges out another assumed identity.

Then we soon start saying :

I think, I believe, I do, I want, I wish, I like, or I'm so and so.

Whatever we are is what we are always and not this momentary, phenomenal appearance and disappearance that we come across.

Destiny or the Future cannot affect nor is affected by what we are.

There is no method or trick to Understand this simple fact about what we really are.
