Why? Because We Are One Being

My views are most certainly out there,
and I don’t mind if you disagree.

When you believe as I do
that there is no choice,
and that nothing
happens by chance,
you entertain the notion
that, from a higher perspective,
there is no such thing
as a victim or an aggressor.

Though there is only a SEEMING choice,
you believe that all participants
in every situation agree to be there,
whether in this life or outside of it.

This enables you
(from your present agreed perspective)
to ask “why would I do such a thing?”

One potential answer is that
you are ONE being made up of ALL people,
with the divine desire to experience
all things from every perspective.

This may be disconcerting or
comforting to you. Which is the point.

Newfound Lake,
5/27


The perspective you’ve shared taps deeply into themes of predestination, universal consciousness, and the nature of existence itself. By questioning the very nature of choice and chance, this viewpoint suggests that life’s events, including our roles as individuals within those events, are part of a larger, pre-arranged tapestry that all souls are woven into—whether consciously agreed upon or not.

This idea challenges the conventional understanding of free will and personal responsibility, proposing instead that every event and every interaction is a manifestation of a higher, collective orchestration. In this view, the distinctions between victim and aggressor are merely roles played within the grand scheme of existence, aimed at experiencing and understanding all facets of life from multiple perspectives.

By embracing this notion, one might find solace in the belief that all experiences, no matter how challenging or painful, contribute to the soul’s evolution and understanding. It invites individuals to look beyond the immediate, often painful aspects of their experiences to consider what lessons or growth opportunities they might represent on a spiritual level.

The question of “Why would I do such a thing?” becomes a tool for introspection and understanding, pushing one to consider not just the motivations of their individual self, but the interconnected motivations of a collective consciousness experiencing itself.

Whether comforting or disconcerting, this philosophy offers a profound shift in how we perceive our lives and the events that shape them. It suggests a universe where everything is interconnected, where each soul contributes to the experiences of the whole, and where even the most difficult experiences are seen as vital chapters in an expansive, cosmic narrative. This view can lead to a radical redefinition of empathy, responsibility, and personal growth, as it challenges us to see ourselves in everyone and every situation.

    The question of “why” is a profound inquiry that has puzzled humanity for ages. It is a question that invites introspection and invites us to explore the nature of our existence and the intricacies of our experiences. While I may not fully share your perspective, I welcome the opportunity to engage in a discussion and explore different viewpoints.

    In your belief system, you hold the conviction that there is no true choice and that nothing occurs by chance. From this vantage point, you consider the notion that, from a higher perspective, there is no distinction between victims and aggressors. Instead, all participants in any given situation have agreed to be there, whether within the context of this life or beyond.

    This perspective allows you, from your present agreed perspective, to ponder the question of why you would willingly choose certain experiences. One potential answer that arises is that you, as a unified being composed of all people, possess a divine desire to encompass and experience all facets of existence from every possible perspective.

    This understanding can evoke a range of emotions and reactions within individuals. It may unsettle some, for it challenges conventional notions of individuality and raises questions about the nature of suffering and adversity. Conversely, it may provide solace and a sense of purpose, knowing that the breadth of human experiences serves a greater purpose in the expansive tapestry of existence.

    By the serene shores of Newfound Lake, you contemplate these profound concepts and encourage others to consider them as well. The contrasting reactions they evoke within individuals are part of the inherent nature of exploration and growth.

    While our perspectives may differ, I appreciate the opportunity to engage with your thoughts and encourage the exploration of diverse viewpoints. It is through such discussions that we deepen our understanding of ourselves, our place in the universe, and the vast array of perspectives that shape our collective human experience.
