It's All Relative

Path

In coming to find oneself, there will always be an obstructed view. When considering our placement in the universe, existing billions of years after Earth’s conception, there lies an understanding that the human experience is unique to the present. Focusing on the self, as part of a greater existence, can appear confusing. Unsettling even. The obstruction, or occurrence, that appears before the individual remains comparative. Relativity plays a large role in determining the outcome of where life’s flow will take one. All that occurs occurs relative to the state and perspective of the observer. An obstructed view of the self hinders the ability of the observer to flow with the stream they guide. Whether aware of this flow or not, the self is both the pilot and passenger.

Occurrence

An occurrence is relative to the observer and the observed. Current is the stream of the flow, with an occurrence being an interruption to the flow, where interruption has no attached meaning. Occurrence itself may not be an interruption, as interruption is relative to the knowledge of the self. Incidence is attached to an intersection, where coincidence works in correspondence with time. For events to be relative, the observer must also be moving in relation to the event. Still, occurrence and relation can remain random. Coincidence is the observation of the occurrence and relation in unison. The observer may always notice an occurrence. Coincidence is recognized by both the observer and the observed. There are no coincidences; everything is random. There are only coincidences; nothing is random. Either way, coincidence does not separate itself from the randomized state.

Agreement

Forming an agreement with time reduces the impact of the occurrence. The observer is always relative to time, as time itself is always relative. For time to exist, there must be a gravitation keeping the consciousness moving in time. In the solar system, the gravity that all of existence experiences, in our system, is the Sun. At the center of it all, keeping us glued together as we all catapult through space. Where one finds oneself in space is all relative to where anything finds itself in space. Existing in time and space as any object is a nuance of consciousness. An agreement with time is agreeing that time does not exist until it is observed. When the observer marks the passage of time, they become responsible for any meaning attached to the marking.

Placement

Meeting the self where it’s at is forming an agreement. An agreement between acceptance and approval. Disapproval and acceptance will meet in the past, rejection and approval will meet in the future. Agreeing on the placement of the self is the first step towards the relativity of occurrence. When the self understands direction, any occurrence becomes one with the stream of the flow. Without knowledge of direction, an occurrence may be viewed as an interruption. Once an individual places themselves in space, they can begin to form an agreement with time. What does this marking of time mean for the individual’s journey?

Together

The individual moves forward relative to all that occurs. Allowing for an occurrence to come with meaning attached may lead to stagnation. An occurrence in any form can come at random. Coincidence is the recognized union of the occurrence and the relation. The likelihood of a coincidence is less so when the observer has formed an agreement with space and with time. For an individual to agree with time, they must let it go. Assuming time is against the self or working with the self is meaningless to the greater stream of consciousness. Everything is always relative. If the observer is both capable of recognizing their place on the stream and able to release time, then the observer can exist as one with the flow.

Direction & Detachment

To know where one is on their journey is the only knowledge essential for the self. Knowledge of direction determines the flow of the stream. Meanwhile, the stream pays no attention to the meaning attached to the direction. What determines direction is often left to the observer. Upon arriving at a fork in the road, where, relative to the observer, road A is flooded and road B is clear, the observer must choose a direction. Equipped with a floatable device, perhaps they can choose A. Ultimately, the flow itself has no meaning attached and no expectation of the observer’s decision. The flow will continue where direction is guided. All one must do is choose, and life will find a way.
