I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked the question, why not me? What about me? Why did they get that? Ad nauseum. The world is basically how we represent it to ourselves. Someone put it this way, “I give all the meaning there is to everyhting I see (experience). I, the big I. You, we, and whomever give life it’s meaning in some form or fashion. Who wants to take the blame? Who wants the responsibility?  

Life was much easier to navigate when we saw the world as a MACHINE!

Someone out there simply wound it up and it’s been running ever since. There wa this BIG BANG and we’ve been off to the races, working out on the treadmill for eternity- and will be. Ah, but what we’ve come to understnad, for those that want to understand, is that the world is more like a THOUGHT than a MACHINE!

Machines are impersonal and cold. Thoughts can be as well; however, they are also warm, fuzzy, loving, and creative. As as a man thinks in his heart so is he- so is she! So are we! So, as you look around the planet these days you see a mixture of good and bad. What we have to do is to re-learn!

We need to let go of the “things are or are not happening to me” and get on with I AM a happening! We must quit trying to personalize or as Don Miguel Ruiz puts it, “We must not take offense at everything that happens to us.” It’s a reversal of how we’ve been trained. One of my favorite authors, Russell Targ wrote, ” I am much more interested in questioning answers, than my previous speciality of answering questions.”
That’s not negative in any way.

In fact, it’s life-giving and life-sustaining. George Bernard Shaw said,  “Some people see things that are and sask why, others see things that never have been and say why not?” Forget asking why me. Start asking why not? A whole new world of consciousness will awaken when you do.
