Telling the Future

Are we in control of our lives, or is it a fated path? In an interview on Conscious Media Network, astrologer Rick Levine gets into the age-old question of fate vs free will. He says that just as certs is both a mint and a candy, the universe allows for both. "It's two universes in one!"

Stuff happens and we react (fate). Astrology gives us a heads up about cosmic weather, so we can prepare, and even use the energies to alter the course (free will). So the nature of the universe makes the whole business of predictions using astrology sketchy. Levine gets into quantum physics, and the idea that we exist in a quantum wave field of possibility. There's an infinite number of possibilities and "stories" that can be told about the future. But when one plot line for what's happening in our lives is voiced, says Levine, "we've popped the quantum wave field into a particle." Using our perception, we've come up with a story, and sometimes it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When a possibility for the future is created as a thought-form, it's out there! This goes for both us on an individual level, and for the whole of humanity. These possibilities floating around in our heads are sending wave currents, and play a role in the unfolding. That's why your story is too important to leave in the hands of just anyone....
