Supposing you are one of those humans who, through your own life experience can also, with hand on heart declare that you too have such a belief and trust in the human design and its capabilities, because with such notions in mind, we’ll be able to access the proposed question better. Take the first part of the question 'do you think your being born in these times is by chance?' What does this do to you? How does the question leave you feeling? It touches something in me and prompts other questions such as what if it’s true? It leaves me feeling kind of special actually. Imagine what it might have been like say 200 years ago. How do you think your life might look? I mean the Industrial Revolution was well and very truly underway, recruiting the population into its ranks of ‘factory and field fodder’
.
Think, would you have been able to escape it? Might you have been quite content grafting day after day for very little return, and quite possible very little life satisfaction. Or go back further, say 1000 years, where if you didn’t attend the local church every Sunday you were in big trouble and at risk of not even going to the heaven that the church had created for you, it’s servant. Take a moment to ponder of what it may have been like in the past and then consider these times, now. Here you are, it’s the 21st Century. You have all you need don’t you? Do you? Or are you one of the people who is aware, who senses that something is not quite as its meant to be. A sense, longing even that something is missing, or that something is waiting. Where might it be-in you perhaps?
And so to part two of the meditation question 'might something be wanting you for some creational purpose?' If this was true, will you ignore it, deny it, pretend it’s not there and be content to put your feet up with the next episode of some more trash T.V or work, work and work knowing that it’s slowly (and these days possibly quickly) burning you out. But supposing there is some higher intelligence that’s been designing, creating and engineering something and you are a part of that, an important part, where you have a role, a function, and inside that a purpose. Isn’t it worth pausing for a few minutes to meditate with?
