Vacuum Theory

Vacuum theory states that the universe does not permit the existence of a vacuum. How does this apply to life and why is it important to remember? Its like the old adage that says "when one door shuts another opens" . People fear loss and for the most part the fear is completely irrational and unfounded. There seems to be natural laws that take care of the empty spaces that emerge in ones life. It's almost like it's not even necessary to apply any kind of effort to fill a void, a natural process acquisition takes over and before you even think about it the feardiscontentedlyment has passed with a blink of the eye. So how does this help? Its import to keep conscious thought of this theory in every day life. There is a very comforting feeling knowing that no matter what circumstance arises and what events unfold the universe is like a never ending gap filler just ready to ensure that our next moment, phase or period in life is as fulfilling as the previous even though the moment may feel like despair. So if you loose a job, you loose a love or if you loose a friend there is enormous comfort in the vacuum theory. You never need to go in search of something to replace the feeling that you had, the universe will conspire and provide the perfect moments to fill the void that has opened. In fact it is impossible for there to be any void in life and therefore the logical mind should know this recognize that the fear of abandonment or loss is irrational. This not dismissing the emotions the are overwhelming in moments of loss, but a large portion of this feeling is fear of the void that the mind thinks is about to appear before us. It never does, people find new jobs, new friends and new love. Just trust the universe being life's invisible vacuum cleaner.

True assumption of our assumptions!

Nearly every self help book I have every read touches on this subject to some degree. The assumption we make in life and hold as the Truth. One of the most limiting properties of human being is the swiftness in which can impose assumptions on our selves. The lack of questioning and the righteousness of assumptions will place pure limitations on the human experience. The great teachers through the ages all had one thing in common, the questions they asked! Life does not always adhere to scientific principles. You can not look at a situation, apply inductive logic and hope for a solution based the collective past experience of one human, a group of humans or all of humanity. Questioning the basic assumptions is often the quickest route the heart of a situation. Blind faith is assuming that a method imposed by another being will grant you the same result. Fundamental flaw in this logic is that the being invoking the action dramatically change the context in which the action is being invoked.

Affulatus

The mind is like a body water, the things that cause the water to churn are always exterior forces. I have the thought all wisdom and knowledge is always with in one self. Instinctively everyone knows what they need to be known because there is an inner knowledge that holds all the answers. To seek this from the outside world is foolish but extremely common. Being that we are all connected directly to the source or the divine entity then it would stand to reason that all answer lay within each of us. Being that we are all unique creatures and have a unique connection with the universe why would anyone think there is an answer outside of the self. The divine path is when you listen to the internal voice and have no consideration for anything else.

To have consideration of others is to operate in the state of ego, transcending the ego opens the realm of the divine, the inner source that is the instinctual guide in life. The universe has a higher divine wisdom. We are just one of the billions of expressions of this wisdom and in so being the answers to our self are completely unique to us. No two people can be in the same space and time in the same instance, so no outcome can be guaranteed the same result given the same set of input parameters. Life is the most complex of all formula and no generic algorithms can be retrofitted to any problem that involves human relations to find any answers. The only answer is the one that exist between the self and the pathway to the divine source.
