Reassurance and how the book changed how I view God
I have to say, that this book means a lot to me.
When I started writing, I knew I had to get as much down as I could. What I knew when I woke up in early 2018 was that everything had a specific reason... because they are supposed to.
When you start looking at the things going on around you, everything seems so chaotically random. But the more you look at those things, they seem to come and go like waves on the ocean.
We go from moments where everyone is healthy into cold season and then everyone seems to catch "the bug" going around. It kind of like that with most illnesses or bodily issues. It's this idea that we attract like things to be around us.
If you ever saw the Keanu Reeves movie "Little Buddha", one of the things Buddha was trying to find was the reason to why people suffered.
That morning, the reason was simple. They suffer because they are supposed to. When you come to that realization, then you start seeing that your life is either one, where you call all of the shots, or it turns out that you call none of them. Sure there's some stuff you get to decide, but if it is really important, then that decision more or less, isn't yours.
It harkens back to a thought that there is an intelligent mind behind all of these "things" going on in our lives, but it causes you to look deeper into the mind behind it. Once you do that, you start to see how planning is a matter of perspective. Where you would be to control things to this level is essential to see as well.
That's when I started looking at it as if I was outside the barriers of time.
If you are outside that barrier, then a mere thought brings on a life of its own. Formed out of literally nothing, and then expanded upon in the most infinite sense.
And that's when the intelligent mind became real. It shows there's a creator behind this, and while it could have been just myself, it's when you see it in others that you know one of two things:
You are either copying someone else's work, or you are the result of a master's work.
It literally feels like it's all a gigantic chess board filled with many billions of beings, all doing what they are doing or supposed to do.
But do we know it on a daily level? No, because we are limited and by default, we don't think that way.
That is what everyone is supposed to do. It's already happened in the masterful mind of God. He can go backwards and forwards, setting up situations and circumstances, that brings us right to this moment now. The one where you are reading this and saying to yourself, "Is this really the hand of God at work?"
When you see that, you will understand that yes, this is all from God. Almost impossible to understand, but at least I can give you a glimpse as to how God thinks.
God is in control. If he wasn't then he wouldn't have that many people. He wouldn't know the outcome. But God is outside of linear time. It's seen as a singular thing to God. It's ornate in its complexity and masterfully perfect.
All of what we perceive as imperfection is due to our inability to see the whole of the perfected piece. To the artists out there, think of yourself as a singular stroke of a paint brush on the canvas. You are meticulously placed and part of a greater masterpiece.
When you see the masterpiece, then you understand. All of this isn't just some randomness. It's purposeful. You have a role to play. If you were outside of time, you could run the scenario backwards and forwards in time, jumping around from one point to another, just to make sure it all goes down the way you want it. It's kind of like setting up a huge display of dominoes that you are going knock over. Except you can set them all up at the same time.
That's why I understand that God is real. Because if God wasn't, then nothing that we do in the limited realm we are in, would make a single bit of sense. Why limit everyone on earth to a finite time stream in a singular forward direction?
Because we are supposed to.
