What do you call the ability to manifest one's will?

[theraskal]

another "possibility Theory" example would be DIVINE meddling....what if there is some divine interference in our lives and some experience success and others suffering.....and what if it's the case that success may seem to indicate a kind of divine favoritism as "chosen" while suffering may seem a "punishment" when in fact it is not always the case and that success tests a person's character as relates to temptation and corruption while the "gift" of suffering humbles a person and inspires in them wisdom and compassion that is gained from suffering

and to be clear, I am not suggesting I do not believe in the possibility and potential of manifestation.....I am just sharing ideas to inspire exercise in thought as relates to the subject

I think divine meddling is just a much more powerful form of magick, but even the divine cannot change fate, of others or their own.

I can dig this.

If the idea of multiple lives is true, and each life are lessons and experiences meant to grow through the process of karma etc... then human suffering somehow does not look as tragic.
And as you say, things would never be what they seem. Impossible to judge a man's karma by their class, fortune, or misfortune because you don't know the context. The bum on the street may be in heaven while the rich man driving by is in hell

This is how I tend to think about things to be honest.

Sometimes I imagine that they could be somehow the same thing

Imagine that after we die, we get to decide our next life, based on our karma or lessons learned, etc. Imagine that we use our WILLPOWER to 'write' our next life in advance, decide the path we want, and the lessons/experiences desired, earned, or needed.

In such a scenario, we would all be trapped in our destinies with no free will... yet the path we are forced to play out ultimately was CHOSEN by us, it is the story of our free will.

Does that make sense? Like we are locked into a destiny, but that destiny itself was determined by our own free will, and not outside forces.
Our destiny is still 'us'.

Just a weird way to think imo where you can feel both at the same time.

^what you stated does make sense and is as reasonable as any other theory and I also agree with Luigi's consideration of Manifestation even if I wished to play "Devil's Advocate" in order to stimulate creative thought and discourse

Luigi and others may enjoy this if have not already watched:

- In comic-books, Super-Heroes have the power of will as a ability. Guys like Spider-Man or the Thing get admiration because their wiil power, even from oponents.

So as much as Hollywood has tainted this one, I will try to remove this deception from my worldview and embrace the holistic realization of this concept. So I must ask you my friends, will you do the same, and if so how will you cultivate and use magick in your life?

I started reiki a couple of months back, doesnt know how works, but if feel really better, so thatsthe important thing.
