Beards Framing

Have you ever had one of those experiences where you wonder "Why things were so bad for me? What have I done to deserve this?"

I had a lot of them over the years. When I was a spectator church, moralistic standard answer was "just suffer through it. One day you'll see why God has punished like that, and then you will understand. "

It made no sense to me whatsoever that this old man with a beard sitting up there in the clouds would "punish" me with things like a broken leg, divorce, redundancy, friends who don ' disappointed and so on.

He certainly had other better things to do with his time than to think about these different "punishments" for me? And if he really was Gunning for me and then he had his knife for everyone around me as well, because they each had their own version of "punishment".

The funny thing is that over the years I discovered why things had happened - and no, it had absolutely nothing to do with punishment for my sins.

I discovered that sin has nothing to do with my "evil" nature. For me, the sin that happens when I leave my true, loving nature. And guess what? I'm not the only person who has a loving nature. The more I looked around, the more I discovered that the world is full of good, kind, loving people.

All these people lived their own version of "sin". Everyone wanted to find out why bad things happened to them.

The question I asked myself was: why was that even if I had these bad experiences, I do not understand why or what happened to me, but later, looking back, they all made complete sense to me?

This triggered my search for the meaning of human experience. My reasoning was that if we all go through these experiences, we could certainly accelerate if we knew their purpose?

My quest led me to two conclusions. The first is that there really is a purpose behind every experience - but it has nothing to do with punishment or suffering. Life is a massive experience, filled with a series of small experiments. Each unique life experience that we are part of a larger plan.

For most of our lives we are not aware of this plan. We just go through every day, and we have no idea what happens to us and how we learn and grow.

The second conclusion is that it is easier to find because of the experience once you've been through it.

For most of our conscious experiences, we have a plan and we focus on results. Once we got the desired result, we are happy because we have achieved our goals. But all these plans we consciously realize are one-dimensional. Whatever we achieve, it is still less than we are able, for various reasons.

Then we have other experiences that we consider "bad luck" or co-incidence or the mistakes of others that we have to suffer for. We often think that these experiences are beyond our control. We like to blame others for them.

I discovered that these "unexpected" experiences are really the most significant. They are multi-dimensional. They are not measured by formulas or the results achieved targets. They are truly meaningful experiences that can tell us more than anything that we can consciously plan.

For us, having a successful life, we must go through these experiences more complex.

Does this mean that we have all that experience first, then later only understand the meaning? Initially, yes. Only much later, when we learned to decipher the code and respect for life, we become aware of the significance of an experience as we have it.

We must first be in the image and photo experience. Only when we know every corner of the image, do we learn the skill of detachment. Then, we can still be in the picture, but some of us ca.
