A reflection on how life, viewed from a deeper perspective, reveals itself not as a separate personal project but as a movement of the universe expressing itself through each of us in every present moment.

When you are looking at life from that depth, from that perspective, what I mean is: what does the universe want as you? That perspective is an image. It is an image of the universe as having created you, because the universe as you wants to live something. It is no longer the experience of just you on your own, separate, in your own little world. The universe has manifested to live something as you, but you are the universe.
A framework beyond religious language
I put it that way because it is also somewhat palatable to a rational mind, that perspective, instead of using more religious language. If you can imagine and tune into this: there is a universe, and within that universe something has emerged as part of it, completely inseparable from it, and that is you.
Now there is an energy, an energy that moves through you, which is completely inseparable from the universe. The universe as you wants something, and it is not one thing. It is a movement, a really deep movement. It is a love. It is a love of life. But it does not operate on the level of "what can I chase so that tomorrow I get this thing." It operates on the level of now, now, now.
The taste of flow
It is the kind of experience we touch when we are completely immersed in flow: in a hobby, in a perfect tango dance, in a perfect moment with your child, in all of those moments where we feel, "This is just transcendent." And that, in a sense, is possible always, because there only is this moment. It is just a perspective.
