💡 Think:
At first, all existed as a single whole in a single thought.
Then it fell below, shattering into tiny fragments and fragments of fragments.
Now the human being picks up the pieces and says, “This seems to belong to this, and this relates to that,” until we reach back to the whole as it was in a primal thought.
Human intelligence cannot always answer “how” and “why.” Its beauty is in its ability to find the harmony and elegance of the whole as it was originally conceived.
Think of your world as a massive jigsaw puzzle in three dimensions plus time. Every object and event that enters your world is meant to fit together neatly with all the other.
And yet they seem just a heap of discordant fragments.
Here is the trick to reassembling those broken pieces:
Start by finding your own purpose. Then move headstrong towards it. Once you find purpose, all that’s needed for that purpose will find you. And those things already attached to you will find their place as well.
Suddenly, where once noise and chaos tore you in a thousand directions, there plays a magnificent symphony.
