Neither. Both paths are Maya.

Greetings to all---

Perhaps one might consider:
 
one has no journey unless there is a destination
viewing things of the spirit would it not seem this
is particularlly true.

This would seem to be in agreement with several previous answers here

peace and love ---poppa

Dear Poppa,

It is wonderful to have so many beautiful spiritual discussions that have taken place on this thread with not a single body missing or a drop of blood on the ground, compared to certain other sections and forums (not on this board) that I have had the mmm... questionable privilege to be an observer or participant at ;-)

But for a spiritual journey that we are discussing, we are using too much of this goal-orientedness and purpose and all those kind of things that a parent tries to force into the minds of their children lest they go astray and whither away their energy and opportunities!

I do not believe that the soul exists in similar realms although our overpowering worldly reality and daily brush with the mundane forces upon us and conditions into us that mindset, for self-preservation if nothing else because 99% of us would have to go out in the world tomorrow and do what we do for existence, and the day after and the week after and so on...

We can let that framework recede and even vanish on this thread and view the soul not as a traveller but an amused and enchanted purveyor of this reality that swings by us, surrounds us, overwhelms us, scares us, makes us laugh, makes us cry, as we see this cinema of Maya. Even those of us enraptured by this REALITY will at the right moment realize that this MOVIE too shall end, and there may be many more such movies for most of us, regardless of our wishes, desires or predictions about ultimate self-realization (Atma-gnan) based on our individual self-assessment! ;-)


HENCE:

I maintain and repeat!:
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I AM NOT MOVING
THE REALITY AROUND ME IS ...

HENCE THE ILLUSION IT CREATES IN EACH OF US ('ME') AND THE {ENDLESS} DISCUSSION!

[quote="HeartWalker"]Destination + you makes Destiny.Both are important equally. You can't have one without the other, it is like asking a bird, which wing is necessary for you ? Of course, a bird needs both wings to fly.
Similarly, an ending is necessary( that is the destination,...we all merge in to our original source,..GOD)
and Life is the journey through which we reclaim our original divinity, all this is a divine drama, staged by GOD.

As and when you get more ready to receive instructions, the universe sends you signs, called often as miracles, and once you learn to act and live in synchronicity with the universe' signs, then you would discover your life's purpose and hence. would fulfill the reason for your present birth and move on to the next stage,...Once you complete the purpose for which you have born, then it is goodbye to this divine comedy of Life.

I hope this adds light and adds a true perspective of balance, it is not "either or",... it is " and".

with Love and Light

Miracles!
Rainbows that get sent to colour our minds overwhelmed by the GREY
Could the clouds that weigh so heavy upon some souls and minds
Bring so much optimism within my soul, if I did not remember
The rainbow that coloured the skies last time ...
After the clouds threatened to obliterate the sun *forever*!
