This brings up the question....does the universe, higher power, god, or whatever you want to call it, have a will? Many thinkers characterize it as a neutral wish granting machine - which implies the universe, in itself, does not have a will, so trying to follow "god's will" seems pointless. Still confused..... |
Well, if God were to appear in my living room and say, "Okay, listen up carefully, here's my plan for you," I'd probably grab my notebook and jot down everything He says.
On the other hand, this seems unlikely to happen. At the practical level, therefore, it seems that "tuning into the will of the universe" is really very much like "tuning into yourself".
And what you would be doing is constantly probing your own intentions to find out what you really, REALLY want .... deep down inside.
