Understanding the Flow of the Universe

It might not actually be that difficult.

How can we become one with the universe? How can we become in sync with that which surrounds us?

In order to do this, we must let go of our perceptions of things and how we believe that they are.

Doing this will allow us to free our minds from the chains that are pre-existing perceptions.

Perceptions that we already have are developed because the lack of understanding of the way something is.

We look at something and say that it is a certain way. We then stop looking at it and see it as merely the crystallization that our mind has created of the object.

This prevents us from further understanding all things. Such as a car, you don't need to know how all the parts of your car work, if it breaks you can take it to a repair shop and they can fix it for you.

This is the case with many things, but it is not the case with understanding. This is because understanding is a process of relative realizations or connections. It is a continual effort one that has no end until the end of the individual.

This is important because it allows us to not get uptight about understanding and how it can be done in infinitely many ways. It must be done in infinitely many ways.

This must be the case because if understanding is a continual process then it must be different for every individual and is constantly changing every moment.

How does this relate to becoming one with the universe?

To feel the flow of the universe our understandings must be constantly in the works. Not settling and getting tied down to specific ideas.

This allows us to accept and realize new understandings which furthers our ability to understand more and more things.

This flow of the universe, this oneness is called God, the Force, even the spirit of Harambe. This is a relationship that exists between all things because they exist.

Understanding this relationship and how things exist is the ultimate goal. But people get tied down to dogmas and ideas that they hold on to dearly. Not being ready to let these beliefs go, they keep them, but they become stale.

When we release what we know, we find out what we really know. Perhaps not what, but how we know.

We realize that how things are that we know. This is very important because it allows us to change what is. Not usually through a grand paradigm shift, but incrementally.

Slowly people begin to understand something that they knew at the beginning.

As people begin to understand, and they have released their conceptions and their ways of thought, now we are closer.

Closer to understanding that which lies before us, closer to discovering the true nature of things and how they exist.

To realize the way things exist, that is the ultimate goal. That is what will allow us to see how things truly are, and what they truly are.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
