truth be told – I believe what you are saying is bordering on kefirah unless I am missing your point. To say that we have control over our own destiny is like taking Hashem out of the equation. It is exactly “Kochi VeOtzem Yodi…”!! I have learned Shaar HaBitachon several times and, again, unless I am misunderstanding you (which is possible), what you are saying is very close to kefirah. Besides for the Chovos Halevovos, see also Daas Tevunos near the beginning where he lists the 5 types of minus that prevent a person from accepting Yichud Hashem with a full heart. The third type has 2 distinct possibilities in it and I believe you should see the first one. I am sorry if I am being blunt but what you are saying is potentially very dangerous.
