Why Are We Here and What's to Come?
It is my developed and still developing theory of how all our lives work and more. My vision of the things of us and our existence and in how (and to a small degree why) things happen as they do. How we are singularly and together as a whole.
We as humans ask ourselves many times, why am I here? How did this or that happen? Why did this or that take place? We search ourselves and all around us to seek answers to the many questions that we all have as we go along in our time. Some of us will try not to think on such things but most all will at some point and time do so. Some think on it too much and contemplate what seems to be forever.
We see things that occur in the world around us, near a far, and wonder or ask ourselves, how did this or that happen? Why is the world/people as it is? Are aliens real? Are there really spirits or ghosts? Is there really a God? (Whichever religion). These and a thousand other questions as we try to live our life and find our place.
What I am attempting to explain here is difficult in many ways to put into words in such a way that can fully convey the meanings I wish to impart. Nevertheless, I am trying to do so for what I hope, is the benefit of those who seek the answers.
Not all of course will agree with my theorem here and that is alright. Some will “get it” so to speak and some will not as well as sternly try to disagree with as how they see it or why my view may be incorrect.
All of these avenues are quite allowed as it is the right of anyone to see things in their own way and feel as they wish to. I am not here to force anything on anyone else but merely to voice my vision as to my interpretation of our human existence and I suppose beyond even that.
You will find as you read through this writing that I speak “matter of fact”. This is due to that it is in fact my personal belief that it is true.
Some may see this theory as not religious or with a belief on God. That would not be correct as I do believe in God but not so much as to various religions as I feel that they have too often been affected as humans in their interpretations as well as other reasons that may exist for their view of how God’s meanings are to be seen and lived by.
I like most other people pondered on thoughts of life, love and of how and why I was here. I didn’t really start this quest for a better understanding until I encountered a tragic event in my life. I was married and had found my true love. In May of 1997, she died in an auto accident. A head on collision that to this day, had no real foreseeable reason for happening and the investigations revealed nothing. There was absolutely no explanation as to how or why it occurred. It was then that I started to seriously seek some explanation as to how or why things happen.
To begin:
I see life as a path. We have things in our lives that are already there before us. Yes, predetermined. Set there and laid out in our “lifeline of events” that goes along with each and every individual.
Why is this person poor? Why is that person rich? Why is this persons life filled with difficulties and the other person has a life of ease? Why is one person a celebrity star and another can’t seem to do anything? Is it all by chance? Just a series of coincidences? God’s determination? By shear luck or lack thereof? These things I do not believe in.
I do believe we have fate, predetermination in our life. I also believe that we have as it states in the Bible, free will as well. That where we go, what we do, the choices we make are all blended together with what already lies in front of us. To attempt to describe this with any clarity, imagine a line, your lifeline. Starting with the moment you are born and ending of course with your death.

So…..there are events that are in front of you in you’re individual lifepath. Set there in stone so to speak. Predetermined that you will, given your place, encounter along the way at some point and time. People you meet and interact with in various ways. ( How many people have you met that you felt in your instinct you had already known them?) Those déjà-vu feelings you get from time to time. This is not solely by chance, it is your fate to be there at that time. You meet whom you are supposed to meet and at the time you are supposed to meet them. You are at all times where you are supposed to be as part of not only your life but as a part of the much larger picture of the universe. We are all with no doubt connected in some way. Action and interaction, cause and effect is what we are very much about no matter we realize this or not.
What sets the events in our path as what and who we are to encounter? Very simply our birth. That very moment, second we are born. Of course some will say it is the moment of conception. That in this theory could be possible, but for whatever reasons I see it as the time of actual birth. Call it instinct.
You are born and those things are there waiting for you to arrive. You are born, you begin your life journey and go forward toward those unknown things ahead of you.
You start, you go along, you begin to make choices and that thing called free will is there in you. You make choices that many times mean little or so it seems. There are other times that you come to what I call, “a critical choice moment”. You make some choice to do this or that, go left or right, up or down etc., but at a moment when there is something special to that place you are in right then. It is at that exact moment that will change your path and alter that which was in front of you by predetermination. (yes I know that some of you out there will argue this word usage of predetermination and you must see that I may not mean it in the same sense as some see it).
Now that this has happened, you will be on a new lifeline or path. Some of the events from the original path will still be there for you to encounter, some will not be there any longer and some new events will then appear before you.
You continue along your both chosen and fated path and at some point will again make a choice at yet another critical choice moment thereby diverting you yet again to another line with the same effect. Some fated events from the first one, two, three previous lines will be combined there and some will not. Ever changing until you reach that final event of the lifeline, death.
The answer to how this may benefit us to know this, of how to use it, is not something we can do now and may never be really answered. Only that we can at best, just have a realization and find some type of acceptance.
Many will attribute our lives as simply lucky or not. Some will say it just DNA/genetics. Some will say it is all about what, where and how we are born to, families etc. While I believe that these are “factors” involved in all things, we still must end up coming back to the main idea that it all works together and is only affected by that same fate based time of birth theory.
When we look back on our lives, it is easier to see these things in play. To see the things in front of us is not of course possible. This is how it is supposed and should be. And for now, I will leave this part of the theory where it is and move on to other aspects.
What are we as humans? We are made up of all the complicated components that we are in these bodies of ours. A wondrous compilation of cells, skin, bones, organs and a brain that make us function to various capacities. But is this all we are made of? No. I see that we do indeed have a spirit. A soul if you prefer. I am in the understanding that we have a spirit that is made up of energy. Yes, as in an electrical energy. Our spirit, the very core of our existence and of who and what we are but on an ever expanded level beyond our mere mortal bodies. The spirit never dies but is only transformed into other elements to continue on even after the body’s demise. This would account for the amount of weight lost in and at the time of a human’s death. (approximately 21 grams or ? of an ounce). This would of course explain that loss as electrical energy does have a mass weight. The body dies the soul is now free of those constraints.
As I stated, (and from here on will just refer to this as our spirit) has left our physical body. Many religious people would now say that they go to heaven or to hell. While those who do not believe in God would say we simple cease to exist at all. This is where I differ. I see that we continue on as the spirit we stated out as. Our electrical energy as a spirit is still here, (and I use the term here in general). We as human beings see and perceive everything around us in three dimensions. This is because it is our limitation as a human. We already know that there is a first, second and third dimension. We have proven or deemed it so. To think for some reason that there is not a forth, fifth or more dimension is not really so likely. It is my contention that there are in fact other dimensions that exist and at the time of release of our spirit, (our body death) that our spirit goes to be in that state of being.
If we see this as fact, then this would explain the situations described by many as ghosts. It would explain poltergeist activity and most all of the deemed paranormal occurrences and events that thousands of people have described throughout the world.
There are some of those in religious areas that would dispute this and claim it is not possible. They would say that this is not how God does things. To which I say they are wrong and to assume that it could not be this way is to place limits on something by their own human standards. To say that this is not how God has designed life and beyond is not being open to the ways that would explain much of the events around us. I would ask them, why this would not be God’s design. To those who would say prove it, I would say, prove it is not. They say that to believe in God requires a leap of faith. Just as it is in my theory. Which way for each of us is up to our own individual instinct. Of which is to what “feels” right and fits.
The spirit as any human can be good or malevolent. This would also explain why that there are paranormal occurrences that are good and bad. Some spirits are I feel lost or stuck in a place that they cannot move from. This is due to many possible reasons. The time of death, the manner of death, their state of mind at the time of death and other possible reasons. Maybe, they are not progressed enough in spirit to continue to the next place or dimension. Maybe, they refuse to accept it so they are not able to go past some point. Maybe some are waiting to return in a new birth and to try life again. The possibilities and countless and we cannot know all the facts behind this as we are not supposed to know. I do not believe that as humans in this stage that we could deal with the knowledge. It would be far too overwhelming for our limited minds so far. I see that this is also by design which would of course have to mean the existence of something greater than we as humans are.
Just as I believe there is God I believe there is Satan. I can see that life and all things is a balance. Of good and evil and all other things. As it is said, you cannot have one without the other. Without one side the other would be almost meaningless. For those of you who do not believe in God or Satan, you would still be able to see good and evil. It has shown itself in countless ways throughout the world and our entire history time and time again that it cannot be denied rationally.
This is where we see the paranormal events that have been reported as terrible and horrendous. The events of possession and what can only be seen as demonic. Those forces do exist in the many cases reported from all over the world. We can see it in those that have preformed the most unthinkably cruel acts on others in the world. As usual Hitler comes to mind. Serial killers and more. I have heard it before described that a demon is an entity which has never taken human form, has never lived as a human. That would be something beyond our world as humans but rather something that is a fight of that balance of good and evil that sometimes enters into our dimension from time to time.
A greater design is always happening around us. Through us and above us. By above I mean again, larger than us here in this dimension and as humans on this planet.
We should keep in mind that we are not in control as we would like to believe. Control is a word firstly and secondly is an illusion for our sanity. We have choice and free will as it should be but we can’t really take stock in that we are “in control”. Choice and control are not the same thing at all. This however is the design of life as it is supposed to be. We all are connected in some way to everything. Again it is about balance. Balance of life here, balance to the universe and to things that we cannot understand.
We can’t really obtain perfection although so many try and try to get there in all ways in life. I have lectured often that there is no such thing as perfection. That we have seem too many Disney movies and look for the happily ever after too much. This is not to say that life is not worth the effort. It does not mean we cannot be happy. What we are supposed to live for most often is what I call, “perfect moments”. These are those times when something in life seems, feels perfect. Because in that moment it is. It may be a second or a minute, a day or even a week or whatever. It is in our best interest to see and recognize those moments, to file them away and hold on to them and remember. This is also what gets you through those times when the rest of life is not perfect. That is the striving and what makes it worthwhile.
