how life works
What should I do to make my life work well? This is right up there with the other big questions, what happens when I die, why am I here, who am I really?
It could be called: how to make your life work, or how to understand what makes your life work, or how to make your life what you want it to be.
How do you get there from here?
I have spent many years pondering this question. Many years reading many books. And would you believe it, I think I have an answer. I’m so excited about it that I want to share it with anyone who wants to know and anyone who wants to hear what I believe to be my truth. It may not be yours, but you have the option to throw it away if it doesn’t resonate with you.
And basically, what is it about?… On the surface, our world seems to be in chaos, we appear on the planet for a short time, we live for a short period (relatively speaking in the big picture) and then we disappear How do we make sense of it? And where do we go after death? I am still me?
The world is so beautiful in the heart, and yet filled with so much darkness, anger, and pain. On the contrary, here too there are oceans of love and light. Such opposites occupying the same planet… how can this be?
These and other questions consumed me and I spent many years reading mountains of literature, immersed in major religions and esoteric teachings. All this learning I did on my own, without finding a mentor or organization to guide or guide me. And when the internet came along, I diverged and wallowed in all the information available, each site leading me to more information and it started to make sense.
In general, the vast amount of knowledge and wisdom ‘out there’ basically says the same things.
I think I have found an answer, yes, the way to live life, to make it work for you. I have tried and tested it, it has transformed my life, anyone can, once they understand how it works.
We don’t come here with a plan for how to run our lives. We stumble along the well-marked paths of ‘how we should live’ and ‘how it’s always been done’ and ‘it’s the right thing to do’, the right thing to do is, of course, different in different cultures. What is right for Muslim fundamentalists and suicide bombers is wrong for others who don’t think that way.
And thinking is the key!!!
The way to understand how to navigate the terrain.
There will be hills, mountains, indeed to climb, and then when you reach the top and dance around the fertile grassy plains, happy and in love, as in The Sound of Music, the hills are alive tra la la… . …. happiness everywhere, you think this is it, you made it. It will always be so. Right?
Wrong!!!! Everything is in cycles, hills and valleys, ups and downs, a time for everything in its season. When we have grasped this concept, we are on our way to understanding that change is all there is.
Life is the journey that we begin at birth and ends with our death. This is an indisputable fact.
What we do during this time is up to us, once we have left childhood.
Life is every little moment and what we experience in this moment. It’s a journey. You can’t live it in the past or in the future. It’s not something we’ll get when we get more money, or when we get out of this relationship, or when we get promoted. It’s about living in the now. Life is about change, growth, learning lessons, experimenting and creating love. Above all to love.
Love is the key. This is the most fundamental aspect to be grasped. It is the spring and source of existence. It is what our Creator, God, Source, Allah, Yaweh, or whatever God looks like, consists of and what we have inside each of us. Religion divides us, but the true loving spirituality that lies behind all the world’s religions in its purest form is love. Love unites us. We are all united. Separation is an illusion in which we currently live. It does not have to be this way.
Without love, nothing makes any real sense. Nothing will hold and nothing will grow. Love transforms everything. It changes our circumstances and allows us to overcome our problems. It offers us a way to escape from situations that trap us, lock us up, baffle us, bring out the worst in us. Love will transform us and our world.
