I had a friend that was close friends with a flight attendant that died in the bombing. So I have always paid close attention to the details of the bombing. But I have always wondered about those two people and how close they were to death and at the time had no idea.

everything that you have experienced, are experiencing, and will be experiencing IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. it's just that our minds are not completely capable of seeing that everything IS. and whether we label it good, bad, so-so, mean, joyous, fate, karma, interesting, weird, disagreable, disgusting, or even discombobulating, just remember that it is OUR labeling of it. everything just IS!!

so, when you do see coincidental events, do like anaximander wrote - just enjoy it for the event it is. [great story, btw!!].


[side note - a church in my area had this quote in ther roadside marquee ...
"Whenever you see a coincidence, it's just God's way of staying anonymous."
not sure i totally agree w/ that, but it's a good way of looking at it]


like i say in my signline below --- it's always afternoon!

I am a firm believer in karma and things happen for a reason and although at the time I may not understand why it does become clear later....i believe in doing the right thing and while i am human I try not to hurt anyone and when I do I own it and apologize...we all have choices and what happens depends on the choices we make...so yes I believe in fate and destiny....

No, I've decided I don't believe in fate. I never really have. Everything good and bad that's come to me are by the choices I have made and things that I have done. I don't think any of it is predetermined. Originally Posted by Shayla

Why in the Verse would we not?

That few of us can discern the patterns
does not negate the reality.

Fate and karma are two different things. Karma is action and the result is karma-bhal or the fruit of your action, just like Newtons third law. So you may believe in karma but fate....
I think we resonate with certain things, to be honest Tia only your 4th tale struck me as a bit unusual.

I definitely think most of the clients I've met have been for some particular reason that has not been the ostensible reason, we've been placed in our paths for no other reason than to exchange energy in some way, nothing to do with escorting. It's been a moment of peace and safety to get a life path sorted out. (I wish I could say it was mine - I'm pretty clear about mine! The only time a client's affected that path has been when I've fallen in love. Ouch.)

In one case (Bali) they were very clear about feeling bad about the beach that was bombed the day before, refused to return there the next day, day of the bombing, despite it being a very expensive holiday. Too late in the night to be supplying details right now..

putting it as any other.
Escorting in this case was merely a
means to an end.

What is the purpose?
Why does this all repeat?

God likes reruns too?

ooh look the greeks landing at Illium
this is a good one....seen it before
