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.....

yeah, which is it?
1) we need to tune into the universe and let thy will be done
2) or we get to put our order into the universe to manifest
