I have ponderd the meaning of life for as long as I can remember, probably like many of you reading this. Are we all on one big journey where we are learning as we go as some tell you, In a big school called life. Or is the answer it something different? We all seem to be on different paths, though some people paths may be very similar to their neighbours, or just look similar on the surface, do we really know what goes on in someone Else's mind, we presume most people think just the way that you do. From my experiences everyone perceives this world differently, yes we may all watch the same TV stations or drink the same brand of coffee but we all sense or interpret these activities in a totally different way. have you noticed the difference in colour from one TV set to another, I watched the Simpson's the other week on 2 separate TV sets all the colours changed the reds blues etc were all lighter on one TV than the other. If TVs can not reproduce the exact same colour how can we reproduce the same colour or sense other items within this world as the man or woman standing next to us. We could go through everything, one man can love the taste of tea and the next not, one man can love 3 sugars in his tea the next likes none at all. basically we all sense differently. So our perceptions of this life and the next life will be different from one man or woman to the next. So how can one man or even a religion say this is the way you should see things, It's impossible! This man or religion is trying to preach you should look at things this way, the same man is probably saying tea tastes great with 3 sugars, well it does not taste great to me or many with that amount of sugar, so why should i listen to his religious views if so many facets of his life differ from mine, including the most simple thing as a like or dislike for tea or sugar. Basically I am saying no man or woman can truly tell you what something is like in spiritual terms, they may be able to guide you but if your soul says different, then listen to your soul. It seems to know everything else in your life that is more attuned to your way of being, so why not listen to what it is saying about your own spiritual tastes and perceptions.
