DESTINY'S SOUL
Whether we talk about Albert Einstein, Dr. Balogun (university professor), my Compadre or movie character Nicolas Sparks, we find they have a specific common factor that they agree upon. What is it that they are in agreement with? Destiny exists!
“Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the stars, human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” Albert Einstein
“Destiny or predestination is the belief that every person
has his biography written before coming to the world which consequently implies
that anything one does is not something done out of free will but something
done in fulfillment of preordained history.” Dr. Balogun indicates that at the “moment
of birth one makes an unconscious choice of destiny.” “With birth our memories of that choice are
“erased” thus making it possible for a person to embark on a project which his
Ori did not choose, that is, for which he is not predestined. Failure is the result of such efforts.” This a study
thesis on Ori (soul/personal spirit) that was published in the Nordic Journal
of African Studies, by Dr. Oladele Balogun, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria.
“Ori (soul/head) chooses a destiny within a split second prior to birth. This choice is quickly forgotten, thus creating the need to seek out our destiny, in order to live an existence of good blessings.” My cherished Compadre, Ifa Priest Ojuani Pokon.
“There are winds of destiny that blow when we least expect them. Sometimes they gust with the fury of a hurricane; sometimes they barely fan one’s cheek. But the winds cannot be denied, bringing as they often do a future that is impossible to ignore.” Nicolas Sparks, from the movie, Message in a Bottle
The thing is that we may not know what our destiny is nor may
we recognize destiny when we are in its midst. This is what makes it so difficult to
determine what we should be doing to align with and follow our personal path. One
thing is certain, if we are not in alignment and we do not pay attention to the
road signs we will soon begin to experience loss, tragedy and suffer a variety of other disappointments. This by the way, is how we know we are off track, at which point we begin to re-align with our destiny. Alignment is sacred and vital to one’s peace of mind and happiness. You are entitled to live a peaceful life and be happy and believe it or not you will align and find your destiny!!!
