Destiny is the memory of what will come ...

Arpini2020
At the bottom of this story I place my experience, implanted in the memory, of the moment in which the consciousness was illuminating the formation of a body in my mother's womb, this individual consciousness being called "soul", in which I clearly perceived the karmic course that that psychophysical form (that myself) was destined to accomplish. I saw his propensities, his genetic roots, innate tendencies, destined events, difficulties, glory, sacrifice, in short, everything that had to be done through that specific human individual.

Well, in perceiving all this clearly I felt a certain reluctance to face the trials, better to say to testify them, or to make them possible through the conscious presence that I am. Yet, the outlining of incipient destiny in the mirror of the mind, which recorded it and then stored it as a film that would then be projected in the course of life, involved a semblance of free will in accepting fate or rejecting it. Of course this feeling of acceptance or rejection was totally subjective and could not in any way change the course of preordained events, but it could have left a trace in the form of dissatisfaction and rejection, with the consequences you can imagine in the unfolding of life that was about to manifest itself. ...

But here we need clarification. The mechanism of the appearance of thoughts seems to come from a source. I define it as a source because we constantly think even when we dream. Yet in deep sleep and nirvikalpa samadhi the flow of thoughts is interrupted, but awareness is always present. Which proves that the thoughtless mind exists. But it's not really that important whether the thoughts are there or not.

Pursuing thoughts is slavery to observe them with detachment is liberation. During the detachment phase, one realizes that things, like thoughts, happen by themselves. So you don't need to worry about it. From this we can deduce that even the projection of a hypothetical destiny is only a film that appears in the mind.

In Ramana Maharshi's Upadesha Saram it is said: "17. If one observes without interruption the nature of the mind, one sees that indeed the mind does not exist. This is for all the direct way. 18. The mind is but a collection of thoughts, the first of which, the root of all thoughts, is the thought 'I'. Therefore the mind is only the thought 'I'. 19. When one looks within for the source from which this 'I' comes, it disappears. This is the search for the Self. 20. Where the 'I' disappears, there the One shines, undivided and infinite. This is the true Self. "
