Synchronicity
Is life random or do the choices we make, even the tiniest ones, create the path we wanted from the very beginning?
What makes us decide in the end? Every decision we make is based on how we feel at the time. This raises the thought that perhaps our moods are coming from our higher spiritual level/conscience, so that we are put in the correct frame of mind to make the decision that will put us on the right path for our chosen life. It will present us with the right synchronistic events at exactly the precise time we need them to enter our life.
Perhaps when we aren't connected to our higher spiritual conscience we miss these synchronistic moments and as such they will represent themselves at another time.
This means the butterfly effect of our decisions are not set. Therefore there is no direct fate for us, only a potential goal.
How do we tune into what our potential goal is?
Finding what i really need
What is life? Does it just fill the gaps between birth and death? Is it meant to be active? Is this just another phase i finding what i really need? Do i remember past lives?
Sometimes i wonder if i am doing what i wanted to do with this life. I feel i have wasted many years to date, but then that may in fact all be a part of the awakening process for me.
Can life be over analysed? Under analysed? Wasted?
Perhaps it is an exploration, like any physical journey. The road has many sidetracks that can be taken and they themselves may reveal the most amazing scenery or experiences like meeting new people and connecting with them.
I often ponder on why some people make such a positive impact on our lives. What is it that makes them special, that connects with us at such a deep level, inspires and touches us?
Perhaps we aren't meant to know what it is, but i doubt it. Perhaps in fact it may be the essence of how we are meant to exist and we have just forgotten somewhere in the last 100,000 years or so.
Animals seem to connect in a way that most (civilized) humans cannot. They seem to just understand. They know where they fit into the scheme of things. We on the other hand are so caught up in what to do to fill our time, how to earn our money, how to find a partner, how to impress ourselves into this world.
Are we too knowledgable for our own good? Surely we can learn to rise above all of this.
Thought patterns
Why do we use certain phrases in this life to respond in conditioned ways to situations and people? We learn phrases as we grow up, such things as 'in this day and age' and we just regurgitate them script like when our minds are triggered by conversations or actions of others.
Now is it really our true response to something? The same can be said for racism or in fact discrimination of any sort. My thoughts on this topic are that we only ever learn discrimination through the actions and thoughts of others, most likely people such as our peers, parents, or colleagues. Once we hear something enough times we start to beleive it, even if it's at a subconscious level. We must actively think and act against these thought patterns to find what we truely believe.
Conditioning by exposure throughout life causes much hatred and is a very dangerous thing for the mind. It seems to cloud our souls real beliefs. I firmly believe that at the centre of our being, our true soul, we have no hatred or fears and we will accept each other totally. Skin color, geographical location, religious beliefs are all irrelevant.
It is the conditioning that makes a soul a hateful or aggressive person. I think in the western world we spend far too much time educating our children on issues in this physical world & how to understand and manipulate them to your best advantage. The spiritual world seems to be seen or thought of as an escape from reality. How wrong this view is, it is the physical world that is not reality & is in fact the escape.
Our point of perspective
I believe that every soul is intertwined, in every way possible. We are all part of one large energy source which is the universe. It has no boundaries either, no limits. Thus far in life we have only been able to grasp the levels that are at each extreme, labelled by us as 'The Universe' and at the other extreme 'Nanoparticles or Nannobacteria'.
We all experience the ebb and flow of energy at the larger scale that is (as we currently know it) the universe, but it is infinately large and infinately small so there are no boundaries to it.
Think of it this way; that each tiny cell or electron or whatever in our own body goes about its own little existence intermingling with other cells etc, sometimes fighting with them, sometimes working with them, yet they may be unaware that combined they make up what we refer to as 'us' - our self, our body, but really we are made up of tiny little particles that each do their own little thing. We are not really our own seperate self, we are everything that goes into making us, all of these cells and molecules.
Wouldn't it then also make sense that we (as in our perceived self) are tiny little particles that make up again a much larger 'individual', perhaps a galaxy, or more likley something we are not even aware of. Think that perhaps from a different viewpoint our planet may be like a tiny molecule making up a much larger being, probably best described as a much larger energy, which really is all a human is, a form of energy that is just taking its current shape.
I think it would be ignorant and totally self absorbed for us to think we are indeed the centre of all of this rather than just a tiny 'one of a trillion' fragment that is somehow totally necessary and a significantly important part of a single infinite energy.
Therefore we really may be connected to and infact be everything. We are the white blood cell in our stomach, we are our heart, we are our body, we are our planet, we are the sun, we are the universe, we are everything.
Think of this; Our current human body is totally new every 7 years or so. So if i look at my brother now, even though he appears to be the same person, every single cell i am looking at and recognise was not there 7 years ago. That energy has gone elsewhere in life and the new cells are new energy that came from somewhere else, perhaps from a rabbits leg, perhaps from a nigerians heart, perhaps from the dust on Pluto. Perhaps from somewhere we are not even aware of.
