Do we create our own reality or is it all just happenstance? Are we involved in etching out our lives or is it all preset?
This is an incredible paradoxx but first we must understand from what perspective we are looking at all this. From a much broader viewpoint, maybe higher viewpoint, the answer is yes!, We created everything! when we are stuck in the middle of a situation that seems to have no answer to we can feel, really feel like we don't!
Why is that?
Well if you and God were walking together, feeling all loved and cozy, and all of a sudden you got distracted, stopped walking and God walked around the corner... where are you? where is God? He's left me! I'm all alone! There is no such thing as God! God doesn't love me or I wouldn't feel so left out! I don't know where I am! I'm Lost! There's no one to help me!
(psst! He's around the corner!)
Perspectives are funny, interesting, magical things! Like On / Off switches! Binary language of reality. It is / or it isn't! What you see is what you get.... or not!
So choosing is important. (or not)
Have fun with this! Notice your perspective about something, then think of other ways it might be viewed. You could even pick a different view and entertain the idea that "it's really like this!"
Here's a little secret... If you convince yourself of a different viewpoint it "could" eventually change! At least you've opened the possibility!
Have great holidays!
