A Thought Experiment
Consider a thought experiment:
Consider that your life, exactly as it is right now, is exactly the way it is supposed to be. That is, consider that no mistakes were made by you or anyone else, nor were you the victim of bad (or good) luck. Consider that even the stuff that seems terrible, that “should” be different, whether it be being ill, not having a job or relationship, having a job or relationship that seems awful, lacking purpose or meaning, the general state of the world, et cetera, et cetera—that all of it is exactly as it is supposed to be (“supposed to be” is a term for our thought experiment—nothing more.)
How is your experience affected by this perspective? What happens to your sense of possibilities for the future?
Now drop the enforced perspective and watch what happens. Watch carefully—it is very telling what happens next.
(Could it really be that simple?)
I strongly urge against adopting a belief about this stuff.
Listen deeply, but question all teachers and teachings; look directly for yourself; be honest with yourself; share what you see with others. These are the best guidelines I know for exploring.
