I'm Not The Only One ... Trust and Faith Are Growing

Contoveros Feels It Too

In this post Contoveros speaks of missing a train only to find out later that taking that train would have been a waste of time - but in more words, with more skill and effectiveness LOL :)

This:

" ... How often are you plans dashed only to learn later that you were saved from some tragedy or heartbreak? Why did you take a wrong turn at one exit and not the other? Could you have been saved from a danger only God or whatever you want to call the Source had foreseen and plan to prevent from happening? ... "

And:

" ... When will I ever learn to trust the Universe?

When will I develop enough faith to believe things happen for my well-being? And when can I truly trust my instincts and live more peacefully in tune with what the Cosmos is manifesting just for me ? ... "

Me, I've been letting various thoughts, seemingly unrelated and unrelatable, follow their apparently random patterns as they percolate and incubate in my mind.

At any given time all of us have any number of 'random thoughts' floating around in our heads, or sitting quietly in their little niches, or regulating the actions of our bodies, or whatever ... 

I think (but for goodness sake don't quote me because this is one of those wayward thought processes that just roams around in my mind) that, as ideas make their way through the maze of our minds they bump into one another now and then. 

Some of them apparently have an affinity for one another and end up sticking together, continuing their own wayward patterns but now linked even as they separately wend their way through the twists and turns. As they go, they each pick up other thoughts or ideas to add to the equation, and the network begins to connect.

Whether there's any actual basis for any such thing I have no idea and I don't particularly care. For me, it's just the way I sense what's going on in this crazy nuts head of mine. Cope as best you can.

On the other hand, science is adamant about some things that really do have an actual basis besides my intuition.

Every last thing in our world is energy, from tiny to tremendous. Visible and 'invisible', it's all energy in one form or another.

Everything.

Wrap your head around that concept.

Everything our five senses tell us is 'real' is energy manifesting in one or another of its forms. So is everything else. Just because we can't see as well as those shrimps whose visual gifts exceed ours by far doesn't mean that colors we can't see don't exist. Shrimps can see things we can't. Many animals can hear things we can't. Our limitations do not limit theirs - and so it is with our bigger world. We do not and we cannot at this time know the full complexity of our world; that's just the way it is. We can only 'know' what our five senses make 'real' for us.

Yet, and here's another of 'those' thoughts, I think we do indeed live in an Interactive Universe.

How can it not be so?

Energy changes forms, some of which forms we cannot understand or even conceptualize. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

Having said all that, until the time comes that we do understand every last little thing in our complex world, I'm going with the Interactive Universe thing - aka GOD. My God, not necessarily 'yours' although honestly, no matter how you look at it, there really is only One. 

We are unable to even grasp the intricacies of energy, let alone create it or destroy it. God is fully capable of all three.

Yep.

That one might be a little harder for science to wrap its head around, which doesn't make any difference one way or the other, regardless of what science thinks.

Onward.

All that energy we can't sense with our senses probably isn't just sitting around doing nothing - that would go against its nature.

So what's it up to?

Well how the heck should I know?

Maybe its playing pinochle on the Spiral.

I'm speculating though, for example, that the energy we expend in thinking changes forms, goes out there into the same sort of networking webs our brains theoretically construct as we think, and does what the thoughts and ideas in my mind do - connects with an energy 'strand' of some kind that has an affinity to it, and makes its way along that web to wherever it finds its destiny to change form again and become yet something else, via all those entangled bits of energy that can and do impact one another over unknown distances.

Which leads to a pair of thoughts. What if Karma is real and the Power of Prayer really works - a spiritual concept being verified by science does not in the least lessen its spirituality, you know. Nothing we can say or do or believe or think or feel has ever been able to lessen God's power. Never has, never will.

At any rate, no I'm not surprised to find that many of us all seem to be on the same 'wavelength' in our thought patterns - literally.

In ways we will not be able to understand or explain any more than anyone before us could, our world is an Interactive Universe. 

It's been that way since 'the beginning' and we know that instinctively. 

Why would it change now? Or ever, for that matter? 

Why would we want it to? 

God is God. 

Science cannot contradict that in any effective way but only reinforce it.

God and Science are not mutually exclusive. God isn't mutually exclusive with anything, being the Creator of all. God IS all.

So why would not everything we know of and everything we don't know of (yet) be thoroughly connected? Why would Karma be a silly thing, and why would the Power of Prayer not be completely valid? Why would it be impossible for people who are far removed from one another to be following similar thought patterns at the same time?

We live in our own here and now but we are simultaneously inextricably entangled with the whole of infinity - past, present, future.

Not that it generally matters much on a day to day basis, mind you. That Universe isn't going to clean our houses for us or pay our bills for us or do our jobs for us. We have to do what we have to do.

But maybe it does matter how we do what we have to do; maybe it really does make a difference (albeit a slight one per individual, the collective effect would be cumulative) what attitude we use our energy to promote or strengthen. If there are prayer webs out there, there are likely the opposite as well. There have to be in order to keep things in balance, sad but true. 

Having a prayerful, thoughtful, mindful, positive attitude might be more important than we think, aside from it making us feel better in general. It's what we're designed for so of course we're going to feel better about everything, including ourselves, when we're in tune with the way we're supposed to be. Stuff isn't as 'random' as we might think.

At least that's my take on it.

Trust in good is a good thing; taking a leap of Faith is generally a good thing too.

We will do what we have to do when we have to do it, but we don't have to do it alone. 

That too is a good thing.
