You know how there are books you read, where you feel like you already knew the idea? The idea was in your brain, but it was hidden deep within, waiting to be uncovered? The few books that have had significant changes in my life have felt this way. Why is that? It's because they tell you things about yourself that are universal. God made you that way. Call it whatever you want, but intuitively you know there is a creator, a reason you have an inner dialogue. Here's what's crazy: all the times you felt self doubt, beat yourself up, spiraled in negative thought loops... you ended up right where you are now. You figured it out. You learned what you were supposed to, you felt the emotions you were supposed to feel. You met the people, you lost the job, you ended a relationship, to make you the way you are right this second. A person capable of adapting and becoming someone creative + loving, whatever version of you that set your focus on. Whatever question is right in front of you, you already know how to deal with it. And you dont need to deal with the questions of tomorrow, when they come, you will have the answers. If you just pause, breathe, and notice that your thoughts are only thoughts for a moment, you can discern which thoughts are coming from the loving, infinite part of you within. The part of you that is God-like. The part that wants to be like Him. I only really started to understand this by studying ancient texts. The texts that have survived the decay of time in an uncanny way. If you note which parts they have in common, you will find universal truths about every big question in life. These core ideas are written in different languages, about different topics, from different perspectives throughout time. They steadily advance as time marches on.
