"Everything happens for a reason."
I have been a firm believer in this statement since as long as I can remember, however lately I've been gently putting every belief, one at a time, out onto the table of my mind for evaluation. It's like I present it objectively to my higher self and ask if this still works for the greater good in my life.
Everything does happen for a reason, however that reason isn't always as huge and life changing as we may think. Sometimes it happens, simply because we chose it to happen. There is an undercurrent to life, a flow, that goes beyond human understanding. Certain things are coming, beyond our control. No matter what we do or don't do, they are coming. Certain expierences, people, events, etc... WILL happen to us, no matter what we do. BUT how we get there is up to us. It is often intangible, and what I mean by this is that the people, places, circumstances may change because our free will is in play... but the outcome, the emotion, lesson, whatever it is that is coming without fail... WILL find it's way too you.
I used to contemplate free will in a scenario of life and death. I could choose right now to take a gun and shoot myself. That is a fact. I could kill myself right now, before I type the next sentence, that is within my realm of free will. So then, that makes me ask the question how much would I be disrupting the future. Wouldn't God know if I were going to do that? I think so, so if he knew I were going to, why would anything beyond that moment in the future involve me living? Sure, someone's death can change the future too, how many organizations, buildings, and scholarships have been created out of the death of someone else... those instances touch thousands of lives. Maybe my death would greater serve the overall good. (NO I am not contemplating suicide, I promise... just my hypothetical reasoning). I also believe that sometime before each of us were incarnated we chose various expierences and lessons to learn while on earth, and chose to meet up with other souls we knew while on the earth plane to help each other achieve these lessons, and meet the challenges that we know on a deep soul level are coming. I belive that although we have "free will" that undercurrent effects our decisions more than we know.
I feel like this is making very little sense and going around and around in circles! lol. The thoughts I had on this early seemed much clearer. Maybe I'll re-write it later lol
