Looking back in retrospect, my life has had some common themes or life lessons that have become clearer to me through meditation or listening to what God has to say over the years, as I like to imagine it. I find opinion to be important but simultaneously infinitely humorous or laughable in matters of belief. The entire human race Believes its opinion to be dominant. Universal truth was here before the existence of "Intelligent Life '' and will be here after. The cosmic joke of existence is the longest running joke I can imagine and I am just another opinion telling my universal truth in that respect. No matter what. As millennials say "it is what it is" meaning no matter how we look at it, label it, color it, or pronounce it the universe never changes, what changes is the view or perception like growing in height and perspective from childhood to adulthood. Now in our current social reality going from a child to adult is the best thing that can happen to an individual but in the mind for some it has seemingly felt like torture. Unless one can quiet the mind or in one form or another going from knowing too much to know nothing and realizing the connection to everything the individual is most certainly doomed to a dismal life. That is where God, the universe, or the higher self comes in as a focal point to guide and to give purpose. This is a common occurrence of facing the proverbial "dark night of the soul" . No one knows the true reason behind creation but we do know that there is an infinitely organizing force behind it, constantly listening and communicating to the ones that pay attention or belief as commonly referred to. I cannot say for sure why but I do know nothing is coincidental, synchronicity is real and the magic and love that runs it all is tangible and accepting.
