Does Everything Happen for a Reason? What Do You Think?
ByDo you believe that everything happens for a reason, even if you can’t see why at the time? Do you sense that there is divine purpose in the universe? Or is everything happening at random? Or, in another sense, do thoughts create everything that’s taking place?
According to Divine Order, everything is unfolding as it needs to unfold for reasons which you may or may not understand. There is a truth that’s higher and deeper than your everyday mind can fathom. And if you wait long enough, you’ll find out the deeper meanings about why things are happening.
On the other hand, according to the Law of Attraction, thoughts have created the current reality. And, according to A Course in Miracles and many other sacred texts, there just seems to be a reality in what’s happening, but everything is just an illusion, and the only truth is in the One spirit.
Take the Case of Haiti
Haiti is a case in point. Is there a divine purpose being served here? Our creative imaginations will find many “reasons” for the huge challenges taking place, but you may need to wait to find the real meaning of it all. The trick is being able to have compassion and deep feeling while at the same time being able to leap into the state of the witness as you watch it all unfold.
Maybe that’s part of the world transformation that’s taking place – that through these huge challenges, hearts are being opened exponentially. Maybe we’re supposed to join together in closer communities and share our lives in a greater sense. And maybe that’s the real meaning of social networking – that we’re coming together more closely than ever before. Maybe with the challenges on our planet, becoming close with one another is one of the greatest methods of survival that we could imagine.

Dear Marilyn I believe as you do the Haeti is a huge heart opening for the planet we are ushering in the new earth.I felt compassion for the people and was unable to do anything but I send light and love and angels with violet light.
Bless you and all the earth people.
An interesting question. Consider that even before the earthquake that Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island. One half is green with forests, vital and well governed and other half is barren and destitute. I don’t think everything happens for a reason but we can and we have responded to the tragedy in Haiti, opening our hearts as well as our wallets. Perhaps if we consider every human being as a shrine of God, then we can combat greed and mismanagement. It is wonderful that so many nations have responded to this crisis. It is social networking on a global scale.
Thanks for these very thoughtful and insightful comments. I appreciate your responses. Blessings to you!
Hi Marilyn,
Yes, I do believe everything happens for a reason, and there is always a lesson to be found in it for each of us; we may not always recognize the reasons immediately, but time and wisdom will make the reasons and lessons clear if we listen to our higher mind wisdom. As for the tragic events in Haiti, I do believe this has not only served to open the hearts of so many around the globe (we are all one, and without each other we cannot survive). I do also believe that those who have incurred this terrible tragedy have come in with the intention of experiencing this lesson for whatever lessons they chose to learn, or sacrifices they chose to come in and make, as well as for helping each of us to open our hearts and unite on a global level. We must all pray for all of the people of Haiti, their families, lost loved ones, as well as generously give whatever we can to help the survivors to get through this horrific event and help them to rebuild their lives and country. Light and blessings to all.
This is beautifully written, Judith. Thank you very much for bringing your light to this very important topic. Blessings to you!
That’s quite a few thoughtful questions, Marilyn. I wish I knew the answers.

To my new friend, Marilyn…
A very interesting question to ponder. I don’t know if this is my creative imagination or not, but I have often thought of Mother Earth as a vital, living entity responding to the emotions, thought forms and upheaval of her children on this planet. Perhaps the extreme planetary disruptions are the reactions of a mother very upset with the hatred, violence, bloodshed and “separation” thinking of her children (not necessarily from any specific geographical areas, but on the planet as a whole).
I’m sure we would both agree, the dominant thoughts in an individual’s subsconscious mind will determine the circumstances of his/her life. So wouldn’t it make sense that the dominant thought on our planet (I think it can be called the “critical mass”) could determine how upset Mother Earth can become and how violently she will react to these negative “frequencies?”
Everything is energy and I can’t help but feel that our individual and collective energies have a profound effect on planetary conditions.
Some of our greatest teachers have shared stories of the power of thought and prayer on weather and agricultual conditions. Native Americans and other cultures have influenced conditions through rituals. (I have had my own minor personal experiences with this). So then, what can unenlightened violent thoughts produce?
Perhaps if the major portion of this planet’s citizens discovered love and unity, these geographical “revolts” would subdue.
If love were to dominate, areas like Haiti would have the proper government and leadership, the people would have more opportunity to prosper, buildings would be constructed according to safety codes and much devastation could be prevented.
Just my two thousand cents…
The other Marilyn
Dear Marilyn,
That’s an answer that’s filled with heart and wisdom. Perhaps we’re headed in the direction of unity consciousness and planetary love as we relase the old thought forms and transform the vibration of the planet. Thank you for writing. I send you very much love.
Love,
Marilyn Too
