Happens all the time.....

Your walking along with your day planned out, but sometimes you make choices along that path that aren't logical to the situation. Because you "feel" its right you allow life to grab you by the wrist and pull you in that direction, and so you've become part of a different plan.

Earlier that day you've had that same feeling. You've synced your will with the will of a higher power and it reveals something that isn't spoken but known.

You tell yourself "today I'll have an encounter of sorts, whatever it may be, but it will happen."

You walk down that path and find what you've predicted earlier. Now it's confirmed, you, we, belong or are in some way all attached to this power.

Is this the power of forcing your will upon the world because you want something so bad, you can make it happen, or is this just foresight into the near future?

If you have already told your self that your taking a different or odd path today, and accept it as fact, you would be more likely to do something other then what was planned. It's self disillusion, not "god" or a higher source.

I guess you are speaking to the wrong person though as I'm an Atheist.

And again, you'd be talking to the wrong person...

How do you know that that path that pulled you to, wasn't the original path you was supposed to take?

I don't believe in god, but fate...fate is another thing all together.

It is the first, whether you believe in a higher force or not. Your subsoncious was told earlier that you would take a different path and have an encounter, thusly, you take that path and...well, you get it. Its a deep subject at best you know.

If you have already told your self that your taking a different or odd path today, and accept it as fact, you would be more likely to do something other then what was planned. It's self disillusion, not "god" or a higher source.

I guess you are speaking to the wrong person though as I'm an Atheist.

this sums it up pretty well.
