Comment on Why It all happens for You… by Howard Falco

Hi Bjorn,

You make a contradictory statement in your comment. You say, “There is no inherent meaning to anyone’s life, we give our own lives meaning.” First of all I think many human beings feel their lives have great meaning and then experience it that way. Secondly, if we give our lives meaning then that is the meaning! Also, there was never any mention of “blame” or “plan” in the blog.

The word universe means “whole” or “complete”. In other words your “universe” is here to serve you in exactly the way in which you believe it to be. So if you see it as meaningless and pointless that’s exactly what you will experience. You will even strongly disagree with anyone who presents something that threatens that opinion in order to protect your truth.

The lunchroom at work supports you perfectly in your intent to have a place to eat lunch in your building. The parking space at the supermarket has been created by your intent to be able to drive in a car to where you can get goods and food. And as far as rocks or trees go, if it weren’t for trees you would have no air to breathe. And if it weren’t for rocks there would be no earth to live on. Everything is here to give you life and support you in your experience to more meaning and greater self-awareness, including the words in this blog that you have brought to yourself as part of your journey.

Best,
Howard

Comment on The Message From Tragedy by Howard Falco

Bjorn,

I completely understand your comment. Let me explain further. I never said that there was anything beautiful about what happened. What I did offer was that there is always a purpose that emerges from any specific event. Each person will take what they want from it.

For me it was a sense of gratitude for her life and for how many people she touched while alive. And it was also a time to reflect and be grateful for my own life, encouraging me to spread even more love in each precious moment of it.

While I certainly do not condone any horrific act or tragedy in the world, I also realize that I control how it affects me and what I take from it. For that reason I choose to see what allows me share more compassion and love in my world. A fitting tribute to a woman who touched the lives of so many by doing the exact same thing.

Best,
Howard

I’m sorry about your loss, and I understand and don’t wish to denigrate your caring and empathy toward the victims of this tragedy, but how can saying something like “there is a beautiful purpose in all things if you are willing to look deep enough into them to see it” be nothing other than a slap in the faces of the victims?What could possibly be beautiful about what happened? Some crazy individual was armed when they shouldn’t have been, and had they not been armed then your relative would have survived. There are plenty of people who probably are as caring as Bobby who die just as meaningless a death and do not have hundreds or thousands to mourn them.

Well. I have to disagree. The universe does not love anyone, it just is a place. The lunchroom at your workplace does not love you and neither does the parking spot at the supermarket. Places do not have an amygdala or a brain with a limbic system so it cannot experience emotions.

The universe also does not serve anyone. It's troubling that people need to believe that the universe is all about them because of some personal self-dissatisfaction. In the grand scale of things human beings as a whole, and the planet on which we live is utterly insignificant. There's no inherent meaning in anyone's life, we give our own lives meaning. To say that the universe loves and has a plan you is an insult to children who die, to parents who lost those children, to people who suffer miserably because of government oppression, disease, or many other countless pointless reasons. These individuals aren't to blame for their own problems, it wasn't their negative thoughts that destroyed their lives. It wasn't the universe's plan for them. It was and is just meaningless and senseless, as anything and everything in this universe.

To believe anything different is either based on ignorance or intellectual dishonesty. Be rational, people. If you're unhappy all you need to do is surround yourself by loving caring people concerned about you instead of pretending that physical objects like rocks, trees, or 'the universe' give a damn about anything, much less you.
