Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



If anyone believes in complete fatalism, if he feels that he is being carried on to the fulfilment of a preordained destiny in every particular point, then it may be so. But it means that he denies the creative power in the deeper level of his being. It means that he has drugged himself by misconceptions about himself and about the purposes for which he has been put on earth.
