Quote From: ritehereIt can be comforting to think that we are born with a master plan, that our soul picked likely people and scenarios to learn the lessons it needs to progress. It's also a great comfort to think of Karma in this way, if everybody's on "different levels" it makes it so much easier not to be judgemental. Yes I've done extensive reading, and continue to. I still have to admit, though, I don't know. All I know for sure is that there is something beyond this life, this plane if you will. I've touched it, it has touched me. I've been assured that it's OK to question. I know that what makes me whole inside usually doesn't involve "the easy way out."
I've also read that there are "exit points" that we can choose if this existence becomes too much. So far, I have been presented with several, and am still here. But I don't know. I don't know if being the best possible human will get me any farther in the big picture, I just know that it feels right. I'm comfortable with not knowing, and I've been assured that this is OK.
I think we all know things that seem to have no proof. I think that we have created systems so that our life is the way we want it and that is to an agreed reality, like law and order. Avoid an orderless society, the majority, has an agreed if not absolute truth, we can't live with. So therefore what is unknown to us, is like this also, even if the truths that make it so, is hard to understand.
I do agree with the who entering and exiting of this world, for reasons of order, I assume.
