“Take a leap of faith, and the universe will catch you.”

It is difficult living as a human being, confusing, at times painful and despairing while at other times joyous and wonderous, and it can be hard to understand why events unfold as they do. But then if I take an aerial view and think of ‘life’ serving as a mirror, it seems to me that everything around me is a reflection of a psychosocial process within myself.
This doesn’t mean that I am without compassion for the suffering of others, far from it, I feel deeply and always have. But there must be another way of being in the world and of understanding why we were born as bundles of potential sewn with the seeds of transformation and regeneration.
What are we doing here? What is our purpose? Why were we born? What great life lies in the immense vastness beyond this one?
I’ve always had questions about why I exist, and I’ve always known two realities, that’s probably why I’ve always had questions. The world we live in as an embodied being is so real, so tangible, so stupefying at times that it’s difficult to remember myself let alone God, and yet we are never forgotten, not for one moment. We are always loved, we are always held, whether we know it or not, whether we may be in despair, whether we feel lost or alone, we are always loved irrespective.
I know the fierce and protective love a mother has for her child, I know the consuming passion of love for another, but I can never truly know that selfless, pure, unconditional love for all that the Divine has for its creation; it is beyond me. My life has intersected with it, allowing me to glimpse it through a window into eternity, and then when the moment has passed its impression has remained and never left. And I’ve learnt that beyond this world known to the ancients as the world of outer darkness there co-exists another realm, another place, vaster than the material universe can ever be, which one day will welcome me for the soul that I am.
