I don't think I dig this fully. I think I only understand it from a social/ethical point of view, not otologically. I've already listened to it 3 times but there's something I'm missing. Socially, I should not define myself by past actions, i.e. not act according to my habits, but always be on alert as to what the present moment is asking of me. I think he also means taking full repsonsibility for your actions (the snake and Eve story)..

In terms of destiny, though, I don't understand it. Maybe I lack some background schema.
