It's definitely difficult to go from an Atheist/Agnostic PoV with a necessary "need to verify" (in my case, before even having conscious thought to 'Don't trust, Verify'), to a "trust the process of life" in whichever way it manifests for you (Higher self, God or gods, universe, soul). But whatever this is is something that is much bigger. But I do think theres an element of verification in it.

I've verified, when I've been conscious of it, that what I put out I do get back. When I allow things to flow, things flow in my favour. When I suggest that the universe conspires in my favour, it does.

It is absolutely a form of surrender and connection to something, and we can call it whatever makes us most comfortable. For some it is 100% Gods plan. For others who are less inclined, it can be as close as "I made it happen, I am the center of my universe and I call the shots", and I don't think that's far from the truth either.


As an aside, I've never read the bible, though I have read passages here an there. But during my very 'atheist' stage, which is something I can no longer commit to (as it does not serve my purpose), I always thought of the idea that since it was written, transcribed/translated multiple times over thousands of years, that it was not something to place a great deal of trust in. But the metaphors, similar to those that come from a place the philosophers, can be absolutely considered and weaved into our lives.

Thanks for your insight, Brisket. Appreciate you a lot brother.
