I don’t know what is best for you.
I only know what might be best for me,
were I in your situation.
Even then, only God knows what is best,
so I might be cheekily misinformed.
In other words,
what I think is best for you is
really what I think is best for me,
but God says that there’s
a good chance I’m missing something.
God says I can’t help you in good conscious,
but that I am helping you in NO conscious.
I simply keep the faith and do what I am drawn to do.
No matter how I act,
no matter what I do — is God’s will.
I do NOT have FREE will,
only the illusion of it.
Whatever happens is
ALWAYS what is best.
So God says.

In the grand cosmic play, we contemplate the intricate dance between personal will, divine will, and the interplay of consciousness. This meditation brings us to a deeper understanding of our place in the universe and the nature of our choices.
The Illusion of Knowing What’s Best
We recognize the inherent limitation in assuming we know what’s best for another. Our perspectives are tinted with the hues of our own experiences, beliefs, and understanding. What might seem best for us in a given situation could be vastly different for another.
Divine Will and Human Perception
The concept that only a higher power, or God, truly knows what is best, casts a light on the humility needed in our judgments and actions. It suggests that our understanding is limited, and what we perceive as the best course of action might be just a fragment of a much larger, divine tapestry.
The Paradox of Free Will
The notion that we do not possess free will, but rather the illusion of it, invites a profound introspection. If our choices and actions are manifestations of a divine will, then our sense of autonomy is merely a play within a greater cosmic script.
Faith and Action in Alignment with Divine Will
Embracing this perspective, we move through life with faith, drawn to actions not by conscious choice, but by a deeper, subconscious guidance. This suggests that every action, every decision, is part of a divine orchestration.
Acceptance of What Is
The belief that whatever happens is always what is best, as guided by a higher power, brings a sense of peace and acceptance. It implies that the unfolding of events, regardless of our judgments, is inherently perfect in the grand scheme of the cosmos.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We reflect on the concepts of personal will, divine will, and consciousness. We acknowledge the limitations of our understanding, embrace the paradox of free will, and accept that our actions might be guided by a higher power. We find peace in the belief that all that happens is for the best, as part of a divine plan.

“Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible.” – Mandy Hale
In the silence of the stars,
A whisper of the divine,
Guiding us on our path,
In the grand design.
Each step, each choice,
A note in the cosmic song,
In the dance of existence,
Where we all belong.
With faith in our hearts,
And peace in our minds,
We embrace the journey,
In the tapestry of time.
We invite reflection: How do you reconcile personal will with the concept of divine guidance in your life?
