Right Here, Right Now

-
By Jayden Kyryluk

We are living on a rock moving through space in the midst of a boundless cosmos with no final end. Everyone you’ve ever known and everyone who’s ever lived has called this rock home. The insignificance of our existence is clear, but in this vast nothingness we find ourselves so deeply wound, we are invited to find our place in the grand tapestry of existence.

Scientists estimate the probability of you being born is 1 in 400,000,000,000,000. That’s one in four hundred trillion. Go back to your great-great-grandparents and 128 people had to meet, form a relationship, and have a child; and that is only four generations back. If we assume humans have been alive for 3 million years, there have been 150,000 generations. Every single one of your ancestors had to meet at the right place and right time for you to be here. Then the right sperm had to meet the right egg. The odds of this are 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000. That’s one in 400 quadrillion.

The idea that everything happens for a reason speaks to a cosmic order or divine plan. It suggests that every event in your life, no matter how trivial or catastrophic, is a thread woven into the intricate design of the universe. This notion is an invitation to discover the profound interconnectedness of all things.

In the reflection of the mirror you'll find a cosmic miracle.

Our lives are not mere accidents, but purposeful journeys with lessons to learn. Each lesson becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of our existence. Even when we cannot find the reason immediately, it is as if the universe has a masterful plan, orchestrating our experiences in a harmonious symphony.

In realizing the cosmic miracle you are, you are invited to look beyond the surface of events and circumstances. Close your eyes, look within; consider the possibility that there is a greater intelligence at work, guiding you towards growth and self-realization. See moments of difficulty as omens that offer the opportunity to discover that you are not alone, but instead moving through a transformative process.

The belief that everything happens for a reason does not release us of our role as conscious beings. Instead, it invites us to intentionally engage with our experiences, seeking to uncover the hidden wisdom within. We are asked to reflect on the choices we make and the paths we take, recognizing that even our free will is a part of the cosmic design.

The belief that everything happens for a reason is a reminder that our lives are a part of a larger story yet to unfold. Know that the next chapter will come when it is meant to. When you embrace the mystery, you will find meaning in the most unexpected places. This philosophy calls us to look at the ordinary as extraordinary, and in the process develop a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. In doing so, we may find comfort, meaning, and a profound sense of unity with the universe.

Yes, we are floating on a rock suspended in nothingness—but that is what makes us special. You are meant to be here. You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Right here, Right now.

It’s Time to Move

By Taegan F I’m sure everyone has heard the term “manifesting.” It is widely used as interpreted in different ways. I see it as cause and effect. A ball drops, it bounces. You put water in the freezer, it freezes. You dream of getting a promotion, so you work hard and earn it. You think certain thoughts, therefore you start to feel and act aligned with those thoughts. You must not only think, write things down, and visualize, you need to ACT. Action is the number one thing in making something come to life, but where does it all start? It begins with desire. That feeling of intrigue and excitement. It will start to consume your thoughts until you have no choice but to act and immerse yourself in the world of this desire. A lot of the time our childhood interests light the path to what’s important to us. I remember being young and being so enamoured by photographs and cameras. Seeing pictures on the family computer and being so curious how people could take such vibrant and quality photo...

Breath In, Breathe Out

-
By Ben Puchniak Give yourself space to breathe, think, recycle and discard thoughts. Find the time and space once a day to recharge your mental landscape and de-clutter. So many of us go through the day without taking a minute to breathe and stop the process of overthinking. We let our thoughts and worries compound and eventually, they weigh us down. Having time and space to myself are the two most important constant aspects of my life. This means clearing a small amount of time in the day to be with yourself in a space that is comfortable for you. It could be in a park, in your bedroom, in the car or at a coffee shop; the goal is a stable mental state for a couple of minutes. This space to think can be considered meditation or reflection, but it doesn’t have to be. Find the time to sit and run over whatever is at the top of your consciousness–think about your worries–but don’t let them take over your train of thought. Think of them as problems or challenges to be solved, not as brick ...

The Stillness of Now

-
By Kyle Wilfer As a mountain manifests the silence between the words in an incarnation of grace and magnitude, the sheer chaos that pours out is met with a semblance of perfection. Just as our ego paints the canvas of the soul; a mountain invokes storms, houses wildfires, and harbors death and life. The duality of such grace is pure and just.  Allow me to see, but not to possess.  Allow me to hear, but not to react.  Allow me to taste, but not to want. Allow me to love, but not to desire.  Allow me to be in the world, but not of it.  Ah so, and that too. As yet another part of the sadhana arises at every moment, no goal but the power of now lingers in this heart. What shall manifest will be as is written.  Kyle's Bio: I am witnessing the promises and pitfalls of this incarnation and writing is the mechanism in which the witness can speak. Through my many travels I have come to some amazing realizations that have carried on to everyday life. Finding God in ...
