What is 'luck'?

Question

Could somebody tell me what luck is? And why do people tend to say "good luck", instead of "May God bless', or, "May all your desires come true"? Has humanity renamed God yet again? Can you imagine how Moses felt just before he asked "...what is his name?"

Answer 1

Good point!

There is indeed a god of good luck, Please note:

(Isaiah 65:11-12) “11 “But YOU men are those leaving Jehovah, those forgetting my holy mountain, those setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck and those filling up mixed wine for the god of Destiny. 12 And I will destine YOU men to the sword, and YOU will all of YOU bow down to being slaughtered; for the reason that I called, but YOU did not answer; I spoke, but YOU did not listen; and YOU kept doing what was bad in my eyes, and the thing in which I took no delight YOU chose.””

--So indeed Satan loves any belief that will take people away from the true God.

--Isn't the winning craze with the money reward not a religion to people, absolutely?

--Is not the gambling god everywhere? Have you heard of people who sold there homes or whatever was important to them to buy hordes of lottery tickets, I have and read about them?

--It is indeed a very sad situation as you have indicated, and it is spreading like gangrene, to the sorrow of many people, who will not put their trust in Jehovah God and his Son, Christ Jesus!--and the hope in the Kingdom we pray to rule the earth as in "thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."--for true blessings for all who wish God's and Christ's true blessings.

There is indeed a beautiful text that really shows what so many of mankind is missing out on in these "critical last days"

(Numbers 6:22-26) “22 Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying: 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way YOU should bless the sons of Israel, saying to them: 24 “May Jehovah bless you and keep you. 25 May Jehovah make his face shine toward you, and may he favor you. 26 May Jehovah lift up his face toward you and assign peace to you.”’”

I wish the same for you!

Answer 2

Good luck is a Blessing and bad luck is a lesson that needs to be learned for yourself or for someone who is acquainted with you. Sometimes bad luck is used to bless someone else. For example, you have bad luck and you have lost some of the funds that you were saving for something very important and you have to borrow money from someone. Now the person that you borrowed it from had to learn to be generous and because they loaned you the money it was counted as favorable for their position and they were blessed because of it. Sometimes people need the graces that being generous brings.

Answer 3

Luck is the random attainment of a coverted desire. Good luck is a universal wish to others that they will not have anything unfortunate happen to them . No it is not a renaming of God

Answer 4

Luck is a word used to refer to the idea that random events can be either favourable or unfavourable. People say good luck as a way of saying 'I hope random events affect you positively'. The idea that a person or object can be intrinsically lucky or unlucky is completely false.

*{+BASICS+OF+KARMA+}*
Simply put, karma is the result of previous acts or deeds,
either in the past or in past lives. Many people for some
reason, think there is only 'bad' karma. But think about it,
if you owe karma to someone, then someone is in a
position to receive a karmic repayment. So there is both
positive and negative aspects of karma.
In all walks of life, karma is in affect for everyone. But in
magikal or spiritual rituals, it is doubly so. What you put
out into the universe will come back to you. If you put
out good thoughts, energies and intentions, then good
will be returned to you. By the same token, if you put out
negative thoughts, energies and actions, negative events and energies will
be returned to you.
In magik this is often called the Law of 3-fold, meaning what you put our
will be returned to you 3-times over. So be careful what you wish for, YOU
will get it!
What Is The 3-Fold Law?
SA belief that any energy put out into the divine universe will return to
the sender three times.
Ancient beliefs state the energy will return to the senders mind, body and
spirit, thus the threefold concept.
The 9-Fold law (also called the 3x3x3 law) is also practiced by some Craft
traditions. The concept is the same, however, the return is a little
different. In these traditions, the essence of the mind
holds within itself the energy of mind, body and spirit. The essence of the
body holds within itself the energy of it's own mind body and spirt. And so
for the essence of the spirit. When energy is returned, it comes back 3
times to the Mind, 3 times to the Body and 3 times to the Spirit.
The Laws of Magikal Rites
When you're performing a ritual, rite or spell, karma is always in affect.
As a Shaman, or witch you must always think of the spiritual implication of
your intent. Here are some basic do's and don'ts for the magikal practioner
to adhere to. Follow these simple rules and the laws of karma will not come
back to bite you and knock you off your feet.
The Do's:
1.All actions should be of positive intent.
2.Conduct a spell or rite with happiness, love and kindness.
3.Hold respect for all living things.
4.Accept the responsibility for your actions.
The Don'ts
1.Never cast a spell or rite out of anger, jealousy or greed.
2.Never cast a spell for harm or to endanger another living being.
3.Never conduct a spell or rite that requires harm to another living
being.
4.Never cast a spell or rite to force someone into following your will
and desire.
The Reasoning Of The Laws
Now that you know the basics, think about why they're in place to begin
with.
The most important and ultimate lesson of any spiritual belief system is to
learn, practice and live unconditional love. Above all else, this is the
underlying goal of all spiritual paths. Unconditional love is not an easy
path to follow. We are all human and we do make mistakes. But as a magikal
practioner you must make the extra effort to adhere to this path. And the
lesson starts with yourself.
But why do you think this one lessons is so important and is the underlying
reason behind all the laws of magikal rite? Well look at the laws. Your
actions in life and in magik should be positive in their intent. Having
respect for all living things is part of being positive and practicing
unconditional love. You wouldn't harm a living creature if you loved it
unconditionally.

Answer 6

I'd say "Good Luck" to someone if I wasn't sure about their particular faith.

Luck is an awareness outside of consciousness that tells you to do something at a particular time and place for no apparent reason for good things to happen to you or to avert disaster.

Answer 7

Luck is wishful thinking in a world of randomness

Answer 8

Luck is associated with fate or karma. Actually it is more related to randomosity. Like the lottery.

However, my Rich Uncle always said, "You make your own luck, in this world"

Which is back to Karma;

Karma is simple to understand "Your decisions and actions today affect your circumstances tomorrow."


Good luck,

(which means I wish you to make good decisions today and reap good circumstances tomorrow.)

Answer 9

Luck = an accident that turns out to favor the person who falls upon it. It's nothing spiritual.

Answer 10

not everyone in the world is a christian, for starters, and sometimes you need LUCK which some people believe in. And you want gooood luck.

so you wish them good luck.
