Imbalanced Use Of Luck
When something we consider good, happens, we are quick to say we are blessed and God is with us, them, her, him.Yet, when something we consider bad, happens, we almost never say, we are cursed and God is not with us, them, her him.
We are always attributing things to God that we like, but not the things we don't like. We rarely attribute the “bad” things to “the devil” or some other evil force based on our religion and utamawazo worldview context.
As an exception, in a loose sense, we do equate “natural disasters” with an act of God, but we stop short of saying it is a curse.
Conversely, we rarely attribute “good weather” to an act of God.
Luck Is Rekh
Back in 2015, luck was explained in What Is Luck? | Dumbed-Down By Luck | Definition, UC#110.It must be clarified that we are not dumbed down by luck, but rather by our understandings regarding luck.
The word luck is the word rekh.
Rekh has been much discussed and is the magi, priest, the wise, the reckoner, time-keeper, the knower, the arch tek (architect), the washer, purifier, and whitener (enlightener), judge, teacher, leader. Of course the Supreme Rekh is the Highest Deity in any belief system.
Rek is time, rule, law and is the same as Ker and Kher and Truth and Kar and Ark and Circle and Cycle and Star and...
Thus, what we attribute to luck or to god by any name or evil by any name is the same thing as saying it is due to one or more forms of spirit-soul, elements and conditions. Because we can't explain it and are too malnourished to work through the critical analysis to remain awake, attentive and retentive in order to get through the chain of causes and effects, we summarily say it's luck or some kind of miraculous act of God, happenstance, chance, coincidence fortune, misfortune, fortunate or miracle. All of these terms have been specifically discussed.
When we take this approach, we usually make imbalanced statements that fail by our own admission. For instance, when one or a few people survive a plane crash, we say god was with them, but what we are also saying is that god was not with the others. God then must be a respecter of persons who saves some and allows others to die, saves some children and allows others to die, allows the good to die young and the bad to live long and spread rot.
Whenever you or someone else invokes luck or God or blessing to explain something, think about the fullness and balance of what you are actually saying and hopefully you will recognize (rekhognize, rekhonwise).
Since Rekh are the knowers, it can be said that Wrecks are humans who are the unknowers, the don't knowers, the pretend to knowers, the fakers, the most highly touted in societies. As explained elsewhere, an “ology” that we use as a suffix is a rek, a rekh, a rekhi; however, in societies, ologies, rather than being the study of something as part of an optimal scientific process, is instead the memorization for the purpose of regurgitation of the bastardization, bitchification and limitation of understandings. In societies, ologies are weapons of mass destruction used to certify false superiority and authority for the purposes of controlling the external due a lack of control of the internal. In other words, to control something else as a substitute distraction from that which is not controlled within self, especially the lack of self-study and self-correction.
Similarly, since luck is used to explain what we don't understand (don't connect the dots of causes and effects to allow us to paint by numbers), we use “work” to explain what we do understand and frequently describe this work as “process.”
So again, if something good happens due to god then something bad must be due to god or at least due to the Ogo, Set, Yurugu, the devil. If a superhuman force is involved in the good things, then a superhuman force must be involved in the bad things.
Luck, good and bad, has very little to do with an individual solely or an outside force solely. Luck, good and bad, is the result of a combination of factors. Sometimes individuals have more or less control and say so in the matter. Same goes for blessings and curses. Is it good luck to survive a plane crash and bad luck to get on the plane? Is it a blessing not to get shot in a mass shooting or bad luck to be there? If there is luck, blessings and curses involved in anything then both sides are always involved.
What I know from personal experience is that despite what we do and control, things won't necessarily go as wanted or planned. Other factors might alter things. However, on several occasions, despite not controlling the things I could, I was given one last chance to avoid a bad situation, in the times I heeded the warning, the voice, the feeling, the intuition, I was able to save myself from difficulty. At other times, in retrospective, I had the chance, didn't heed it and experienced difficulty. It is a certainty there were many other occasions that have gone one way or the other that I am unaware of. Some of these hinged more on the actions and inactions of other creatures, spirits, elements and humans, than they depended on my conscious participation and avoidance. Fates, destinies, experiences and outcomes are in no way singularly dependent on an individual human, another creation, another ancestor or another spirit. All things that take place in this universe are co-dependent in many ways and many layers, including the layers of time.Because we are miseducated I must expressly state that this in no way excuses us from doing what we should do and not doing what we should not do. As long as we do this, this is the best we can do, yet there is no guarantee that this is sufficient. As a matter of fact, it is not. There must always be assisting factors because there are always resisting factors. If you are still unsure of these truths, consider all the bad things that happen to babies and children and you decide whether the child is responsible or the parents or other factors. When do humans become solely responsible? Who has ever achieved anything alone? This has been discussed many times under the banner of “help” and again under “innocent”. What did a person do wrong when in their home and get struck by a “stray” bullet? Do everything necessary to get a job or start a business and other factors can still interfere despite your diligence. Is it good luck, bad luck, a blessing or a curse? What about the tree that blooms and then another freeze comes and kills the blooms, thus no fruit this season and no food for other creatures that rely on that tree? Is the tree responsible? Predators such as big cats have been given many skills, yet despite their experience, they still fail because they are not the only actors and factors at play. What makes us humans think that we are the “masters of our fates?” You might be a good defensive driver, but that alone is no guarantee of avoiding accidents. On an on we can go to show that no who “succeeds” or “fail” is the sole author, factor, contributor to the outcome. “Hard work,” “disciple” and “dedication” are other banners, and are good things, but are insufficient to guarantee results although they do produce many good results in the present, but might only bear discernible and harvestable fruit in another lifetime.
What is really going on is that societies want people to think success and failure is due to individual effort. This is so the society can shift the blame for its intentional institutional systemic actions to ensure that the majority of success and failure is greatly influenced by the society's culture because society's are intentional maintainers of imbalances. This does explain a lot about what is going on in human groupings.
Many creatures contribute to the good luck, bad luck, blessings and curses that befall themselves and others. Life is a shared experience, an ecosystem experience. Lack of sufficient knowledge of self and knowledge of all else keeps our level of awareness hog tied to unhealthy understandings regarding luck, blessings and curses.
