I believe in the power of the universe

I’m always surprised to find out that someone considers them self to be an Atheist. Generally these are people who are in fact sweet, intelligent, emotionally stable individuals. Too consider myself to be sweet, intelligent, and emotionally stable. But I am no Atheist. And after the unfolding of the last seven months of my life, I have NO DOUBT that there is SOMETHING “out there” that’s running this show. I’m not one of those “go to church three times a week and quote the bible every chance I get, converting folk to my religion” type. I’m just a person with perception who has the fortunate vision to see life unfolding in a manically methodical way.

If you take the time to sit back and watch, you’ll be amazed at how one piece came from the last and leads to the next. Nothing happens for naught. There is always an explanation because even the single most seemingly insignificant moment can have a sincerely profound effect on what may occur next. Just think of a time when you’ve said “What if I never had said/done/gone ______”. And think of the events that followed when you made the decision. We always talk about seeing the “big picture”. The funny thing about that is we always wish we could’ve seen it before we actually did. It never works that way. It would be too easy. Lessons are not intended for people who already know the information. They are for those of us in need of learning. We all learn the hard way. There is no other way to learn. And the things that occur are for the single purpose of learning something. You know you’ve learned it when you see the big picture. Like Freamon from The Wire said “…and all the pieces matter.” This is true in life in order to see the big the picture. For example, when you’re driving, you don’t just see the one car in front of you. You see the street, signs, all that is around you. This is the big picture. This is life. And this is not a sporadic thing. And these things don’t occur because somehow they magically appear out of nowhere. They occur because whatever up above has determined that in order for us to take the next step, we must take this step first. There are no skipping steps, and for those of us who make the silly mistake of doing so, we always fall back down to the bottom.

The Power of the Universe will ensure that your next step is available. But you have to open your eyes to see it. You have the free will to take it and you will be rewarded for your choice. Rewards come in what we may call good…or what we may call bad. But the truth is, there are no such things. Everything is neutral. When you open door number one…you get an answer. When you open door number two, you get an answer. They are neutral. One is not good and the other is not bad. Based on which you choose, you learn a lesson. This is the universe at work. Don’t fight the universe. You will lose. Believe in the power of the universe. Give in to the power of the universe. When the time comes, the big picture will reveal itself to you.

I believe in the power of the universe.
Until next time…
