It’s a Setup!

It is a setup. You know it is. There’s not a better explanation.

First, here my premise: this existence is temporary with permanent results. It’s designed specifically for people to design their perfect eternity.

So that obliterates any credibility that a ‘happinstance’ explanation could have if you believe it. For example, the notion that life began in a very busy explosion or a big bang, goes out the window. Besides, we’re aware that explosions are often used to destroy life so it makes no sense to me as an explanation of how life starts. It also casts a frown of doubt on the theory of evolution because the following would never have evolved –

Pain in childbirth. Misery in child bearing. Man-woman aliention at every level. Thrill seeking. Mental illness. Slow human maturation, with some never coming close. Militant anything. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Child bearing and the birth would be made so pleasant and foolproof that the experience would be even better than the order placing process which brings it about.

Men and women would be so complimentary that the craze of their attraction would never die. They’d understand each other. This is how the theory works, the better parts overcome the parts that fail.

Thrill seeking would be limited to culinary rewards, finding answers to math problems, and needle work. None of these threaten the existance of the creature. Over eating and other excessess would become repugnant and we would nearly all become eye candy. In fact, evolution would ensure that no matter what we looked like, we would create the same effect. We’d all be eye candy.

Errant hair would not grow. Nose hair would not tickle. People in desert lands would need water like a camel needs water and would have resources to survive as one. Bad breath would go away.  Broccoli would be as desirable as Pizza, which we would probably despise in favor of willow bark or some other miracle food.

Instead, we get this bizarre mixture of challenges calculated to either tear our worlds apart or to help turn the willing into beautiful souls well proven. Some of the challenges defy our nature, challenge our true desires, and test our meddle like no check-off quiz ever could.

What if we discovered that there really is a being whose direction brings many of these challenges into play specifically on our behalf.  Challenges such as the rotten relative who abuses our peace for no good reason or the spouse who turns out to be a serious dissappointment. The criminal who shows no concern, or the leader who takes shameless advantage. The steaming pile fakers who get our confidence enough to get our help so they can harm us as predators. Anyone who sells us out or deceives us with bad intent.

It’s only in such miserable associations that we can develop certain desirable traits that have an eternal value that wouldn’t even come into the evolutionary want list.

In fact, just the opposite of evolution is true. On this world, cords tangle on themselves virtually without assistance. It’s as if the elements are commanded by some power to fall not into perfect order, but disarray.  And why?

It could be that development, and not evolution is the power in play here. The natural result of responding to the cruel tendencies of things and powers on this world is to either give in to and accept the discord, or become something seriously better. We select our response and become creators or in other words, persons who bring organization to matter and regulation to natural processes.

We become pliant where we ought to be, unmovable where along with developing real compassion. We become patient instead of reactive. We become better people.

I think it’s a setup. I think that male and female minds are different for reasons unknown. Good reasons. It’s maddening, but then so is molten lava if you aren’t prepared to deal with it on it’s terms. There is no obsidian without lava. There are a lot of other useful things in the earth that would not be possible without their becoming what they are through the processes that lead to the necessary transformations.

The theory of evolution via natural selection is shallow enough that it can’t handle more than a surface level explanation of how things really work. If you like shallow, you have read too far.

That means I’ve ditched the fingers in the ear, eyes closed, “la lalala la la la” crowd that has their answer.

Here is what I’ve learned about truth. It is not hiding any more than the gold that must be mined is hiding. There is a reason that it’s the prize only of those who seek it. The true powers of human creatures are significantly advanced beyond what one-planet-from-scratch chance evolution can ever encompass.

It is a setup, but it’s for a good purpose. Actually for billions of good purposes. Since truth is no more elusive than gold in the ground, and no less, it makes sense that it must be valued in order to be worth the trouble to find, extract, refine, and use. Most likely, important handles upon which personal development can be managed will not always seem beneficial until it’s obvious what they were for at some future time.

We see the awakening our children have in their twenties when they have the keys to their own lives and can take them where ever suits their own temprrament. It foreshadows future similar awakenings of greater magnitude.

This is such a crazy world. It’s temporary, but we aren’t. If we accept the craziness and it’s fruits by signing on to the short cuts and predations so as to skip life lessons or to get ahead at the expense of our integrity who knows. We just might get assigned to the multitudes of others who decide to ride a tide of deception when we move on to our permanent reward. That is fine for those who like that, but they should note that it won’t reward them the same as here. All types of people live here. There will be no top quality souls to create resource pools that can be raided to keep bad policy working. It will be hell. The honest  won’t qualify for such a plight. They’ll be with their own somewhere else.

None of this appears to just fall into place.  People who decide to learn better ways to deal with challenges and who accept the difficult assignments within the rules end up qualifying for more advanced coursework. Those who cheat on the tests and game the system essentially stall their progress and development. Perhaps  fewer difficult tests are offered to them. It’s another setup because you see that they screw around and seem to have it easier. They seem to get by with a lot. You get by with almost nothing and get targetted for punishment in matters they seem to get rewarded for failing. In truth, lessons are not wasted on those who could do better but aren’t applying themselves because they’re not ready to move forward yet.

I promise, that’s not the whole picture. Challenges are opportunities. We do die. When we leave, we take our suitcases full of completed tests or can be assured that they’re already available in that sphere where they testify concerning our progress. Some, the ones who delighted in beating the system, taking shortcuts, and avoiding soul searching truths will take their little envelope with the few test results they were willing to risk and that will speak for them.

This can be an adventure  hugely satisfying with even better long term payoffs. It isn’t what we say, it’s what we are. What we become. Whatever that is, this life is the best place to take charge of how that turns out.
