Everybody seems to look for, to search for, and to want to find a reason for us all existing and for what is happening to us, and hoping that this explanation and reason will perhaps give a meaning for them, and of them "being", or existing, back to themselves. They want to explain themselves to themselves. God himself, I would think of course, never looks for a similar explanation for himself. God is Love and Love is God. And perhaps that is enough for him.

But to me this approach of wanting always to find a reason or a meaning in our life has always sort of irritated and annoyed me a bit. I always thought there is something wrong with this approach. This seems to me to be actually a huge assumption, that there is a reason and a meaning for everything, and just maybe, there are no reasons and no meaning in anything.

If we really want reasons and meanings, it only means to me that we are functioning from a lower level perspective, and not seeing simply from God's perspective. But it frustrated me for many years, as I too looked and searched for a lesson in everything, or some teaching from everything happening to me. Maybe, just maybe, the only explanation is of love. And love never does need a reason, or an explanation. Love is just forever love. And God is love and so operates as well without reason or explanation of any kind. And maybe none is ever needed.

Certainly not by him, but only ever by us operating at less than a total love. In this article, I will discuss these radical ideas a bit further and let you just see if you can agree with any part of what I am saying. Just read it through without judgement or criticism, and when you finish, allow it to sit for a while and see if any part of it fits into your truth and feels right and ignites the love in you, which I hope I have written it with. And if it does, well we are in some sort of agreeance then, and so let's all move forward with that much, towards a greater understanding and a greater love.

Once and for all. Everything happens for a reason, there are no coincidences or random or chance events. No luck or accidents. Everything comes to teach us something. In everything there is a lesson. All these sentiments, cliches and sayings then, are they all entirely accurate and really entirely true? If this is all true, who put the lesson in everything and who decides which lesson will come to me? And who decides the reason for everything? If everything really is happening by design and as part of a plan
