The Oddities of Life. Reliving life in our Ancestors Footsteps!

What is the meaning of life? That is the million dollar question. A question in which mankind has sought to answer for the ages. While I am not writing this to answer this age old question, I can give some insight into the modern dilemma. As well I may give insight into the meaning of your life.

To get to the root of what our particular purpose is I will start with the family. The average divorce rate in the world right now is over 50 percent, as in America right around 50 percent. This is an issue and life is always attempting to rectify the situation.

Have you ever heard the saying that you marry your father or mother? There are many phrases along these lines for both male and female. This seems to constantly ring true, and I for a while have wondered exactly why, and how this could be. It was not until I started to reflect that I realized a unique possibility. It seems that when soul mates separate in life, life gives them another chance to unite.

We have the unique ability to relive our ancestors mistakes. However time and time again we inevitably make the same mistakes in life. Why is this? Generation after generation following the same misery as the next. This is where cycles of time come into play. I always say that we have the illusion of control in life, however there are only very few points where change is really possible. We all come to a fork in the road, that is our choice we have. Yet time and time again we choose the same path as our parents. When we come to a fork in the road we only have a few things to go on, these things all derive from childhood. We imitate our parents, thus we continue to make the same choices when these two paths are presented to us. Even when you know this all to be true, the odds of making the same mistakes are highly probable. This is most likely because we follow what we have been taught. The ability to retrain your brain is very difficult, and only the strongest minds have the ability to do this. The best way to know the future is to know the past, this rings true because everything we do comes back around eventually. This is where cycles of time come into play.

The best way to know the future is to know the past, this rings true because everything we do comes back around eventually. This is where cycles of time come into play.

Like I said earlier we have the illusion of control, we truly only have a few opportunities to create true change in our lives. Cycles come in different lengths. There are really short cycles of, medium cycles which come 7 to 8 years or more, and then deep cycles of time which go back thousands of years. We will focus on the short cycles and the life changing medium cycles of time. Short cycles are not as important as the medium cycles. If you are in a rut, a bad relationship the medium cycle is where true life altering change is possible.

The bad thing about this is the fact that these cycles only present a short window of opportunity for change. Typically you will have a month at the most to incorporate the right choices for life altering change. The window will close quick so if you are looking for a new direction for your life you have to jump on it. If you look back through your life surely you will start to see how this all rings true. If you have ever had an old friend pop back in your life when your stuck in a bad relationship, or a new job opportunity present itself when you felt you would never get anywhere in your current job; then you know you only have a brief opportunity to incorporate change in your life. The universe is beautiful enough to present these opportunities of change, however the choice is ours.

It is not easy to break the mundane cycle of life. We will find ten thousand excuses to choose the same easy path that we were taught. Even if these paths lead to misery and we know it, it just seems to be easier to do what we know, then to explore the unknown. We truly fear the unknown and this will always hold us back from true happiness. This is why we are socially conditioned to learn that happiness is a myth.

We always will find the excuses to keep us content, excuses like I have to much invested in this current job, or we are going to stay together for the kids. Even if this means a miserable job and the kids suffering and seeing a long cycle of pain and misery, showing them that true happiness is unattainable on this spinning rock. I will always maintain that we have no control over life, and the choices we have are few. We have periods of time where change is possible, however far to many of us allow these windows to close and make the excuse that happiness is a myth created in a movie. When the chance for true happiness comes around what will you do? Make an excuse, or accept the fact that the window for a new life is brief and when that opportunity comes, it will come with true happiness.

Those who tamper with this brief opportunity will find that happiness, however when it comes down to it we will all go back into what we know, and most of what we know is pain and misery. So what are you going to do when the window opens? I would suggest doing something spontaneous, something radical, because in the end we only live this life once. So why hold yourself back, if your already thinking of excuses then you are lost, however you will have another opportunity, perhaps in 7 to 10 years. Is that a long time to live a content life? Well only time will tell, until then live, love, and watch for your window.
