In recent times, big and numerous changes in our lifestyles have been forced upon us. COVID19 came along and changed everyone’s life. People’s lives have been turned upside down, and anxiety and depression have skyrocketed.
We often make changes, usually because we feel things need to change. Sometimes the changes are small, we change our hair, or perhaps we change our diet, get a new car, make new friends and so on. We, ourselves, decide how and when to make changes to improve our circumstances, or to satisfy some desire in our mind. Sometimes, however, we don’t get to make the decision to change. Life has a way of sometimes forcing change upon us.
In recent times, big and numerous changes in our lifestyles have been forced upon us. COVID19 came along and changed everyone’s life. People’s lives have been turned upside down, and anxiety and depression have skyrocketed.
A couple of questions worth asking are “why are some people better able to cope with the changes than others?” Why are some people easily able to adapt to change while others struggle immensely?”
People can be compared to snowflakes. Every single one of us is different. How is this so? It is because not only is every person different to look at, but every person has different thoughts and feelings. We all have different minds. We have all been raised differently, in different environments, different lifestyles, different families, so it makes sense that no two minds could possibly be alike, hence, the conflicts between people, countries, religions, ideologies and philosophies.
Most people, I am sure, have heard the expression “we are all one.” Religions commonly agree upon this sentiment despite their different ideologies and philosophies. How is it possible that we are all one?” This is one of the big life questions along with others such as “Does God exist?” or “Who am I?” or “Why am I in this world, and what is my purpose here?” These are all big questions which, as yet, have not been explained to anyone’s satisfaction. As surprising as it may seem these questions do, in fact, have answers.
These answers cannot be understood without the desire for the answers. If your desire to know is strong enough to begin to seek for the answers, they can be found. Meditation is the way to begin the search to discover these answers for yourself. No-one can force you to understand the ways of the world. Through meditation, what blocks your understanding of the answers can be discarded, and the wisdom to realize the ways of the world is then obtainable..
The world, as we know it, continues to change and awaken. In its own way, it is pushing us to change and awaken with it. We are no longer being allowed to be complacent with how things are, and we are being pushed to a new understanding of how to live.
Now is the time to seek for the answers on how to live. Now is the time to meditate diligently to escape the burdens and suffering being experienced in the world. Let’s not get left behind. Let’s go forward, with true wisdom, towards a better life for all. Yes, we are all one with everything in the world. Let’s find out why for ourselves, let’s find the Truth, the meaning, of life.
