Encounters Game in a World of no coincidences

Do you ever stop and think why what you are living good or bad is happening to you at that specific time of your life?
Why do you think people who are permanently or temporarily entering your life are with you?
Why do you think you are in that environment and are surrounded by those circumstances? Is that a coincidence?
Or is everything happening for a certain purpose in this universe where everything works with the perfection of a Swiss watch?
Life is a theater where the dance of the opposites effect our lives. This theater is the life itself. It is the arena of a dualistic fight. It is a theater on air since the start of life. And we are taking our roles in this world scene. But everybody is playing their own role. All other elements in this big theater are the decorations on the changing scenes. This theater has its purpose; the spiritual evolution. Every actor in the theater has a certain role and character. The role of the actors together is the interaction that is necessary for the evolution. Without this interaction, learning and developing alone will not happen. The rubbing of the grinding stones results in a smooth and polished stone.
Everything in life has an existence and a purpose, and the main theme is “spiritual evolution”. All the conditions, environments and people that surround us are “MIRACLES” that reflect our Essence to us and serve as vehicles to find our TRUE SELF.
Everyone is born with a certain destiny, and the right to choose. Destination obvious to the souls, but known to the earthly mind as we are born with closed consciousness. The way to our destiny has many paths like there are many roads to Rome, yet the roads depend on the choices that the person will make with his/her free will. The courses to be taken are certain, but the exams vary according to the paths chosen with our free will. Every unearned course is challenged in the next test … until we learn it.
“You reap what you sow” the elder say. “Do good, find good”. An ancient Hermetic saying goes as “you are responsible for what you think.” This is a cause & effect principle and also applies to the physical and spiritual dimension. When we look at physics, everything with a mass has an inertia. According to Newton’s Law of Inertia, every effective force is faced with a reactive opposing force at the same time. When the force is greater than the reactive force, then the movement begins. A non-moving object will not move unless an effective force is applied, or a moving object will not change its movement unless it encounters a reactive force.
If we look at Einstein’s formula e = mc2, we can see that the tangible objects in the world are nothing but concentrated and materialized energy. So this law can also be used for energy. The human soul is like this and is subject to the law of inaction. All the painful worries, fears and worries in our lives are the forces in the opposite direction that force us, and they are the quizzes that will test and strengthen the people with their shortcomings.
All Celestial Religions speak of the fact that this world is a place where man is tested and that the real purpose is to reach the Eternal Source we came from. The counterpart of the cause & effect principle in the Eastern Philosophy is “Karma”, and according to this idea, the end result of our actions attracts new examinations in their own lives. The person is tested with the fruit of her actions. When a person lives with virtues without waiting for the results of her actions, she becomes a light to others. Then she no longer creates karma and thus breaks the “samsara” cycle. She has now reached to “nirvana”, lives in “samadhi” state or became an “Adam Kadmon” or reaches enlightenment.
Each exam concerns the development of the person and the characteristics that the person needs to develop. Look back at the moments that have forced you in your life. At that moment there is absolutely a message. This is the message of life. Message from the school of life. What is happening is about a lesson of life that one needs to learn at that time and at the level of consciousness. In this context, the people who are confronted, the events that are happening, the spaces that are found are the pieces in the changing scenes of this theater. Everyone is rated relative to the role played by the other actor in the scene.
Close your eyes right now and think about the important people in your life. Think about what you’re up to now? What features do you like? What disturbs you and what pleases you? Think about your difficult times. You will soon see that you are actually the ones you do not like, you blame in your circle, you blame. They reflect your own characteristics of your development. Those people in your life are just holding a mirror to you in this theater. This is a miraculous encounters game. Every person in your life that you are interacting with is a mirror to you that reflects your Essence to you. All you need to do is to look as open and honest as you can to that mirror.
Focus on the one behind the speaker, not the person who speaks. They are the messages of life.
Every criticism is a blessing and opportunity for spiritual development.
If the criticisms are positive or negative, just say “thank you” and contemplate on the message.
Resisting is the reflection of the law of inaction in our actions and is obstructing the path to oneness.
Be in the flow, live the moment, and learn from everyone in your circle.
Then you will have the opportunity to play the game that theater of life offers you for development.
Cheers,
