I believe that we create our own reality and have written many articles on this site about that concept. Its the basis of Magick that we can and do create the world around us. But what if that were not true? Last night I had a dream in which I discovered that our lives were preordained. It was such an amazing dream that it prompted me to write this post....

Imagine that for each millisecond of time, our preordained life was captured. Our life comprised millions and millions of snapshots in time sequence a bit like a movie in which each frame is a still photograph but when run through a projector we get a concept of time and movement. Follow? Our life is already mapped out like a movie script and each millisecond of that script is there already waiting for us in sequence. Our consciousness then moves through the scenes reacting to events - to the script - so to speak. Instead of running the movie through a projector our consciousness is the projector. We don't have free will but we just react and learn. Learn and adapt to the journey created for us.

This is what I discovered in that dream last night. It shocked me to the core and turned me upside down... but it was just a dream.
