Do you believe in this -“ Whatever flows, flows; what goes goes”?

[Pearl222]

I’m learning to be detached and just trust the flow of life and universe to bring whoever and whichever experience into my life it deems appropriate; and trust that whatever leaves has probably passed it’s expiration date in my life. Do you believe in this outlook on life as well or do you have a different perspective?

Ahh Grasshopper you are wise for one so young. After forsaking all of the monotheistic religions and religion in general I discovered Buddhism and Daoism. I believe what the duties say about human suffering, i. e. A result of attachment or aversion It came at a time I had a profound justice Freud would call it oceanic, Maslow put it at top of his pyramid. It seemed to be spiritual in many regards but nothing in western religion s made any sense to me. It seemed like a direct experience of what is referred to as god but I couldn't process it in those terms. Eastern spiritual traditions allowed me to view it in perspectivee. I'd love to be able to return to that as it was ecstatic and seemed like it wasbthe. answer to every question Id had. I wish I could get the sensation of ecstasy back but beyond that it helped in many not the issues you mentioned. It was unity, not duality and probably a dozen other cliches though it still stands as the most significant moment in my life. Since then I've been able to tolerate the mystics in any religion without eating the dogma. I can recommend a number of writers if you would be interested.

Yeah sure, I’d be interested in learning more about this. Happy for any recommendations

Oh absolutely!! I follow the same and it makes it so much easier to live than trying to comprehend why a particular thing happened or why something didn't...

Appreciate the MHO, Pearl 😇

I've always been comfortable in randomness and chaos. It's exciting. But it's not like I won't take a hand in shaping my own life. I have never run away from decisions. I simply accept that I don't have absolute control and some great things and some not so great things are gonna happen. I focus on what I can control and wait for the next part of the adventure to begin.

I'm starting to be more like that now. Just go with the flow and whichever way the universe takes me I go.

I just take life one day at a time. We cannot predict what is going to happen in our lives and future.
