Is there a superior power controlling us?

@healingchime, I’m very moved by your response, and I know it to be true. I feel that this surrendering to life is by far the best way to ‘be’. I have looked around a little and have not yet found a Master inside me. Any thoughts on this are very appreciated. It is hard not to identify with a thought that seemingly causes actions in life and movements of my body and reactions that become me and everything feels like me! Thousands of me’s in this space and I know I’m really just the space but have yet to feel it in a definite way.
Looked at your profile and I’m loving the tracks on SoundCloud!

I wonder if all creatures are living in this ‘just life’ sort of space or do humans just imagine it to be like that because we CAN imagine it? However, I know I cannot speculate without feeling it first.

@achyutram, No

There are the laws of nature. Physics, biology, chemistry, all that jazz.

We are obviously created with a form that we cannot do much about. Yknow, we’re humans, not falcons or pike perches or nettles or rocks.
So yeah, there are “rules” that are made for us, which we cannot break. At least not yet.

Whether you want to credit this to a god or whatever is up to you, it’s a matter of interpretation.
But if you ask me it’s pretty damn silly to make up weird terms and explanations when there’s a perfectly fine scientific explanation and definition for all of it.

But something we cannot know for sure, is that we’re not really controlling it ourselves unknowingly. We might be the highest power, we may be the ones behind everything without being aware of it.
Theories…

But what I want to ask you all is. WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
Just do your thing, yknow, the rest doesn’t really matter.

Causal Theory. The brain is just a machine, every thought is caused initially by a reaction to the physical world. The reason we think in such complexity is because we happened to live in an environment that caused us to have these thoughts. God isn’t worth thinking about.

@achyutram, different experiences of loss though painful, help us understand and prepare for when we leave everything behind in our own bodily death. We think that if life was all chocolate flavored it would be better, but this, actually is the best way. It’s not always the way we want, but our acceptance of how it is determines the level of harmony we can sense in life. If you want to blame God for events that take place, you still have to realize that no events actually take place. This does not mean pain does not feel real when it is felt. But the pain cleans you, and makes you strong. It allows you to strip things away to know the truth. We cannot keep anything, ever, except for what we are. It remains forever.

When loved ones are ‘lost’ they are never lost. Our dependance on physicality causes the sense of loss, but nothing that is real can be lost. They are still there if you really want to talk.

@robbycool,

i like the idea presented, it aligns to what i think as well

@achyutram, Okay let me put it this way:

I believe (and this is MY OPINION only) that there exists a balance between Order and Chaos. An equal proportion of things happen for no reason at all as happen for a reason.

If someone dies “in despair,” it either happened for a reason or it didn’t. If it was for a reason, take comfort in the nobility and higher purpose of their death. If it wasn’t for a reason, then, well…shit happens.
