Traffic, Idiots & Quantum Physics
What does traffic and idiots have to with quantum physics?
Well, stick with me here. I happen to be one of “those people" who believes that everything happens for a reason. And I mean EVERYTHING. Every little, tiny thing.
I believe the universe is so in synch with everything, and everyone, that it conducts a perfect orchestration coordinating all that happens in precise order, which allows us, all 8 billion of us, to experience what we experience. (Something similar to what was portrayed in the movie, “The Adjustment Bureau”. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. It makes an analogous point in an entertaining, “Hollywoody” sort of way.)
On the surface, the traffic, or the erratic maneuver by the idiot driver in front of us, may seem like just an unfortunate random coincidence. But, if you have the perspective that everything happens for a reason, you might instead ponder the possibility that these circumstances are happening “for us” instead of “to us”.
Maybe the traffic or erratic maneuver happened to prevent us from getting into an accident up the road. Or maybe those occurrences have nothing to do with us specifically, as they may have happened so that another person could experience what they’re supposed to experience.
You get the point.
So, the next time you find yourself stuck in traffic, or the idiot driver in front of you knocks you of course, take a breath, and ponder this perspective.
And if you really want to be a Jedi Master of the theory of “traffic, idiots and quantum physics”, you can go ahead and wield some genuine gratitude for those circumstances.
Doing so will put you in a calm, appreciative state of mind, which is a very high energy state, especially compared to how most of us typically react to traffic and idiots.
As we know, it’s the energy we hold, our state of being, that influences, or “orchestrates”, the experiences we have. Positive energy tends to lead to positive experiences. Negative energy tends to lead to negative experiences. And we always have the opportunity to pull something positive out of a negative experience.
It’s up to us.
We are all active co-conductors, along with the universe, composing and arranging our reality.
I'll end on that note.
