When life gives you "loops", it means you are retracting your fate. "Jack," a friend of mine, who is particularly gifted with a youthful drive and exceptional willpower and stubbornness, complains to me: "I've spoken to the best people, the strongest experts, met and networked with who I needed to meet and network with, did everything right," he says, "But all I've achieved," he continues, "is that I keep finding myself back where I started, each and every time. I'm on a street looking for someone's apartment and I'm struggling to find them. It's not the same street, but it's an eerily similar one. It's not the same person, but it's an eerily similar person, and so on - and it never ends, man. It never f-in' ends." The second thought that runs through my head, with the first one being "you really are a stubborn cunt, aren't you?", is one of stinging doubt. Do I tell him what I know, or do I leave him to face the machinations of this strange and funny world we inhabit on his own? The spiritual and moral dilemma as old as time itself, right? Do you pick the flower or do you leave it to die in the coming heat and rain. But, we know, us mystics, that when a question has been asked - whether inadvertently or not - consent has been already given and granted, the rest is just theatrics and all the mental gymnastics that come with trying to be a decent, and cautious, person. This is good, of course, to care for the damage one might potentially inflict by yapping their tongue too much, but also impressively and increasingly stupid. Why stupid? Because you make the same conclusions, and run the same self-guilt-tripping simulated future scenarios in your sick, overthinking brain; and it always comes down to the same one thought: Question asked. Consent given. Move forward with confidence. Now, it is one thing to want to impart useful knowledge to a loved one, and a completely different animal of a challenge to do so without sounding pretentious, condescending, ridiculous or overly grandiose. And then comes the delicate pick-and-choosing of words that I find mind-numbingly difficult in the heat of the moment. That certainly doesn't make it easier. Not like this, of course, yet even while I write this out for you now, evidently, I have to create a disclaimer for the disclaimer, and for the knowledge itself in order to transfer it effectively. This is where we find ourselves, even when given the comfort of deliberate writing and the luxury of near-infinite repetitions. But the simple truth is this: Life bends, curves and collapses unto itself when you've reached the precipice of your fate. Now, most people never get here, because most people have better things to do - and they are not particularly keen about force-training themselves with the sole purpose of acquiring the stubbornness of a pack mule. But some do get here, and when they do, they tend to call it (and ironically so) - "living on the edge". This is closer to the truth than one would think. You see, we are, each of us, allowed a certain amount of "wiggle room" in life, in accordance with our general fates. One can detract from this fate, if they so wish, but only to a certain degree. Contrary to what we're taught, each human being currently residing in this world is given a specific amount of willpower, which serves as the primary source of fuel for conscious creation. Some souls carry potent amounts, while others carry smaller amounts - for their own good, of course. How this limited resource is used is then determined, through the practice of their limited free will, by its temporary owner. How the world at large is shifted, therefore, is also up to its temporary owner. These are your magicians of modernity, as I like to call them. Let's say my friend is one of these. But where he finds himself is on the precipice of his limitations. He finds himself stuck in a loop of unceasing quantum patterns. To put it simply, he's biting off a bit more than he can chew. But he doesn't know that, of course - his higher mind does. You must understand that creation, at its most base level, speaks to you in patterns. It is showcasing to you the futility of your ways and actions, yet it also understands that, within the realm of space and time, for a pattern to be recognized - it must be walked through and observed several times. How can one even understand the existence of a pattern if it is kept from repeating itself? And once the pattern has been established and ingrained in one's psyche - once it has acquired enough attention from the experiencer - frustration tends to set in. This frustration is a sort of unconscious understanding of that which is occurring in one's life. Us humans tend to rage against these synthetic limitations, and we like to chalk it up to concepts of "bad luck" or "misfortune". In truth, within the divine geometry of life, ultimately - no such things exist. These are just parts of a pattern, one that has been force-started by the wielder of the power of creation. When you've taken two steps forward, the only next step you can take is the third, and it matters very little where this step takes you. You might try to reverse the step, turn around with it, jump up and down before you've taken it, use the "other leg" to take it - all the silly things compulsive gamblers do. Yet, regardless of your valiant efforts to trick the system - you are only ever taking the third step. You know that, and it knows that. The step that follows the second step is always the third step, no matter its expression or nature. And when life gives you a pattern, it is trying to show you that you stand at the precipice of using that very willpower that was ordained to you. It is showing you the pattern as a prerequisite warning for your choice. Will you choose to break the pattern (you will have to use up some willpower for this, of course), choose to travel outwards into unlimited potential, or will you choose to go inwards and walk in ways of no resistance - where the pattern becomes blurred and unknowable again? You will always find yourself arriving in the same place, of course - these are the differences between fate and destiny. One cannot change their destiny, but they can alter their fate. Fate is the path through which one's greater destiny is achieved. And each coveted "twist" of fate is also part of that destiny. You are under its thrall, always, and even the illusion of defying it serves to achieve that same destiny. It is, and you are, rather inevitable, you see. Understand that where there is a clear pattern unfolding in your life, you stand on the precipice of your current reality, of a set of possibilities that are poised, at one point or another, to occur in the grand theatre of life. You find yourself, as the architect of your own experiences, at the "quantum barrier" of your current state of being. Breaking through this barrier is equal parts invitation for change and, also, a warning, as all good teachers are - equal parts wielders of truth, and conjurers of lies. ![[Pasted image 20260414201846.png]]
