The Blue Print - Written on Sunday, October 31, 2004

We all think that we have the luxury of choice. What if 'choice' was just something with which we delude ourselves. Perhaps we don't really have choices in our lives. We never really had any.

Everything that we choose is subject to our preferences. and our preferences, in turn, are and have always been influenced by external elements and situations... even by other people and their "choices". In this context, it seems that every choice that we make has been previously influenced by a whole network of other circumstances. This "choice" is, therefore, the result of a naturally infinite succession of intertwined events, each influencing the other. In short, no 'choice' is ever independent.

All that was, is and will be has been preordained. Reality, as we know it, is merely the unfolding of what has already been set. This is what i refer to as 'the blue print'. All events in history happened the way they happened because that was how they were meant to be. They couldn't have occurred in any other way.

Now, the real intrigue, is the realisation of one's functionality in the blue print. We all have certain functions to perform and it's our nature. Each individual and his/her particular character and personality... all part of the ingredients that make up the person and his/her thoughts and actions. The very effect of their existence is the function ... their part in the blue print.
