Ready for something different?
1/June/2012

Are we the chisel or are we the sculpture? Was all created so we as individual soul can develop, or were we created to help the creation to develop?

For 9000 years humans have believed that the goal was for the individual to reach Nirvana, to qualify for heaven. If you don't reach this goal in this life-time, you either reincarnate, or are going to be dead forever, or - in the worst of the suggested scenarios - are going to roast in hell for ever.

The Tool-of-the-Universe teaching breaks with this old tradition. We choose to believe, that we humans are extremely sophisticated, highly specialized, custom tailored tools, through which this creation continues to develop.

 

This change in perspective raises a whole lot of questions: so what's going to happen to me when I die? Wouldn't the world go crazy if there was no punishment for bad behavior during a person's lifetime? Is there something similar to the traditional notion of NIrvana or Heaven? And many more...

When you read the articles on this site, and ponder such questions yourself, you'll find answers. And the answers to all your questions can be congruous - that means not contradicting each other, or leaving holes.

And here's what to me is the best about this new perspective: It provides easy answers to otherwise hard to answer questions. For example: "Why was I born to alcoholic parents?" "How is it fair, that some are born into wealth and others into poverty, some are born into a loving nurturing environment, and others are being abused and have to fend for themselves at an early age?" "What is the purpose of my life?" "Why am I in this crisis?" And many more...

 

A change always means letting go of something that we're familiar with, and replacing it with something we don't know yet. From our believes we draw strength, so we can live our lives, remain hopeful, and feel secure. To change the very cornerstone that our whole belief-system is built upon is quite a challenge. Not all of us are able to make this step, and some might immediately discard this idea.

If you are strong - or desperate - enough to contemplate this idea, though, you're in for the ride of your life! The change won't happen over night. It can take months, even years, to completely make the switch. However, from the very beginning, you'll be rewarded with inner strength, happiness, fulfillment, hope or any other kind of positive feeling - as long as you allow yourself to recognize it. Most likely, you'll be going through 5 phases to complete the change.

 

What took decades of searching, asking and listening, and trial and error, you can read about in a few days. So. Are you ready for a new life? Are you ready for purpose and fulfillment? Well, keep on reading and pondering, and you're on your way!
