Circular Predictability

Time - because of its circular – rather rotational nature; just like the seasons, assumes predictability. Which simply means, like the four seasons, or 12 zodiacal divisions or even 27 lunar mansions (nakshatras), life is a predictable entity. Does it not contradict the fact that a person is a maker of the person's destiny? Well, simply put - No, while fate is predictable, life is not. Fate was chosen; life is lived – there are always 'deltas' between what was desired and what transpired – all this not too deviant from the chosen karma.

Predictability is an immense assurance of what may happen. And, assurances lead to faith. Faith drives our ambitions. The chances that a person well versed in medicines will otherwise lead a life of doom is seldom the case – therefore predictability becomes an important aspect of determining the characteristic and personality of a person. Even chaos is predictable. Buddha classified the predictable life as that of middle path. The Middle Path Life is the easiest to lead as it also falls closely to the karmic choice of the individual.

Note – human professions (or professions created by humans) may not be the one chosen for a karmic life. Again, human rules are not astral in nature. Therefore, while predicting, it is important to determine whether a person chose the life to have the following characteristics – belief, faith, peace-loving, honest, water loving, land loving, nomadic or static life. Based on these characteristics, one can narrow down to the human created profession that suits the personality the best.  

Time is Circular and therefore predictable

Time is definitely not linear. The circular nature of time is explicit and inevitable. Incidents, history repeat. Therefore does life. The passage of time (as the expression goes) is well phrased – time is slow in propagation and yet directional. It is truly a passage. However, it is like a voyage in a sailing ship. It would almost be impossible to figure out the world is round, had it not been for faster ships and perhaps revelation.

Circularity is inevitable. Only then can be explained the theory of indestructibility. How about time in the other plane – the other dimension. The passage and units could differ and it probably does – that explains the uniqueness of every creature that is born or exists in this universe.

In the illustration N expresses Natality, M - maturity, D - Decay and inevitable Death. The return path seems to be a reversal of time - perhaps, perhaps not. The question - is life a choice or is it inevitable?
