There is a vast difference between predestination and inevitability. Death is inevitable in the current scheme of biological life. However, there is no certainty about the individual path to death from birth. This is the basis of all hope. Practice is an attempt to day-by-day direct my personal path mindfully and compassionately. The only predestination I fear is the unconscious mind, programmed by genetics, negativity and dogmatic nonsense. If I allow my unconscious mind to determine my path, I will soon end up in the dark woods of materialism, aggression and selfishness.
