Last night at work I read a whole bunch of texts talking about getting rid of the ego, and enlightening yourself. Finding your true self, and becoming one with the universe.

Now, I'm out of drugs, can't find more, and my vidjea game account was hacked. I think the universe wants me to meditate, agreed?





No, This is a common coincidence. The Universe has no specific intent to your so called spiritual growth.

How self-absorbed and narcissistic does a person have to be to anthropomorphize the universe?

Well it is a projection so I guess the universe that you can be directly familar with (as subjective "spirituality") may well be anthropomorphic and you are essentially the centre of it.

everything that exists communicates something

the universe is always saying something



but I agree, it's easy to get self-absorbed and narcissistic about it. You have to be wary of that, I suppose.

the universe, and the song i'm listening to are telling me to do thangs

it's almost as if it were intended for me to hear, but



"thought I heard a song in your voice, but I was wrong

thought I heard your song in my head but it was my own"



and yet, there it is, if I listen

i honestly did feel an initial push to first start going to temple, although it felt natural in a way, sometimes i feel the need to push myself back into it if i feel myself stray away from the path/back into ego.

Every now and then, I get this nagging sensation that I need milk. I get hungry specifically for milk. Like that's what my body needs the most at that time

:shrug: Probably so. Seems logical.


but you've also got to be wary of "cravings", IME... to me there seems to be a subtle difference between a craving and a feeling that something is essential to your health. Example: sugar or drug cravings...but that's about as specific as i can get about that for now :shrug:



I also find that

much like watching a movie you havent seen in years, or relistening to your favorite album

your interpretation of what was said changes as you grow




but its not necessarily that it wasnt saying what it was saying

...experience is relative, so

its more about what it means to you at that moment, imo

and if it was wrong, then there you have it



in my life I have found that one must be careful of getting caught up in traps of narcissism...it can really sneak up on you almost like a cigarette addiction

but its really not so far-fetched to hear the universe speaking directly to you,

communicating -- very clearly in rare moments -- where to step next
