How to manifest our destinies? On one hand whenever I'm given a "secret" in how to bring about the destiny I want I do what I'm instructed to do . . . until I get bored. Is that why I don't manifest my destiny? Or, rather is there something inside of me that knows if I only go after what I can consciously materialize then I am blinding myself to all sorts of goodness that I haven't heard about. So, the key is not to manifest a certain person into our lives, but happiness, or not to manifest a certain job or home or whathaveyou, but contentment. That's a different way of looking at how we can control our own lives, and even how to become witches of our fortunes. I think that was freaking me out a little yesterday. If I decide to do something to manifest a happiness, and in that way I'm controlling my destiny, am I becoming a witch? I'm catholic, and it's odd that I question this now as I've been reading tarot on and off for 18 years. However, it just hit me yesterday, the incredible power that we have, and that we are given, really. Maybe that's it. Throughout all of the religions, it's the idea of faith that we have this free will, and can actually use it responsibly. There's the challenge, but with a little help from our celestial friends, eh?
