is there fate in action?

[Night Owl]

The way I see it, thinking that something/anything wasn't fated to be is seeing separation/imperfection/mistakes in creation rather than unity/harmony/a powerful creator that is all things.

I guess it depends how we conceptualize "fate".  I don't believe in mistakes, or imperfection, but perhaps the "perfect simulation of mistakes/imperfection".  The same in all respects, except that the potential for it was built in.  And I would ask the same about those who think fate means "no choice".  But really what is perfection, anyway?  What standard are we using for perfection?  In the absence of a standard, I guess everything is perfect however it is.  I can only measure the value of the concept of "mistake" in terms of: did it succeed in encapsulating the intentions of a given point of consciousness.  From the point of view of Source, I'm sure everything is fulfilling its intention perfectly.  So in that sense, I believe everything is fated, but in the sense that all of our choices are already made or written into the script, I'm not so sure about that.    

What is the difference between "choice" and the "perfect simulation of choice"?  What is the difference between separation and the perfect simulation of separation?   

This isn't meant to answer anything, I'm just thinking publically.

I couldn't have said it better
