Janthopoyism: Scripture: Why Did That Horrible Thing Happen to Me?

Why Did That Horrible Thing Happen to Me?

Book 2: The Internal Universe | Chapter 2.4 | 30 September 2020

Human evolution may seem impressive and all-important so close to the ground, but from a universal standpoint it is hardly noticeable.

Similarly, your very cells experience their own evolutionary changes, passing information onto your expanded system before dying shortly after. But do you notice these unceasing microscopic activities?

Evolution occurs via infinite strains on infinite measures, yet the manner of each advancement is strikingly comparable in details. Conflict interrupts a timeline, and the receiver either adapts to conquer said conflict or falls, conquered by it. Harmony is achieved through both outcomes. Considering your person alone, evolution is happening in an unfathomable number of capacities, but the one which dominates our respective minds is evolution through our experiences.

Conflict moves evolution faster than anything. If bad things never happen to you, your maturity will be sluggish and unsubstantial. Even worse, if you shelter yourself from the world's hurt and everything runs smoothly for an extended period, you will be dangerously unequipped when your path does turn sour. It is imperative that bad things happen to us and that they happen routinely. It is for our own benefit.

Whenever "adverse" incidents jostle into our lives, they are blessings. Undesirable occurrences force our minds into a posture of reflection. They intensify the emotions which highlight a separation from our true selves. They encourage us to surge towards our happiness with both hands outstretched. The eternal struggle to relocate your internal harmony teaches us how to avoid similar hiccups in the future. It gifts us with an opportunity to make decisions of which to be proud. They strengthen our bond with ourselves. And they can always be exploited to advance your life: creatively, financially, morally, or otherwise. If you can shift something bad to inspire something good, you will ultimately be grateful it happened. The vast majority of the greatest scientific breakthroughs, motivational material, or artistic movements arose from the desire to address social or inner turmoil.

"Failure" is also the best. It's unreasonable to expect yourself to possess the key that unlocks what works on your first try, for it was not available to you at that time. It's a much more reliable process to march forward, trying key after key, unlocking what doesn't work until you've earned the technique required. Failure is nothing but a perspective that you can rearrange as part of the journey, revealing another step on the footpath. You will never know the ideal second angle until you have attempted the first. The more dead-ends you bump into, the weaker your fear of dead-ends will become, realigning your energy to recognise each dead-end as one less to go.

Unfortunately, so many minds do not operate in this fashion. Their circumstances dictate their outlook and not the other way round, perpetuating a circle of self-sustaining victimisation. Their mental context vibrates in pain until they can see only pain, and their reality responds by offering further pain. Their lives sink into an unbroken onslaught of bad relationships, bad health, bad finances, and bad thoughts until their Life is so unbearable that it no longer resembles a "life" whatsoever.

Janthopoyism views conflict as an act of "God"—a divine intervention, if you will—that intentionally spoils your humanmade plans by evolutionary design. The External Universe is out of your control, so there is zero use in upsetting yourself over this inevitability. The system seeks answers and can assume the role of the bully to get them. It will kick you to the floor if you let it, and it will continue to kick you while you're down.

On the other hand, your Internal Universal does care about your wellbeing and it harnesses power to spin this conflict into an evolution of your person. So stand up for yourself! Spar with Life competitively. One of Janthopoyism's most compelling theories muses that the Cosmic order may recognise you as a worthy opponent, tailoring its conflict for your brand specifically, granting you a vibrantly rich life as a result. We're just playing cards with God here, people! Our scripture will repetitively elaborate on this fun game, but for now, focus on shifting your attitude, remodelling scary obstacles into opportunities for growth. Practice makes perfect.

We are not talking about blind optimism or pretending to be positive when you're not (although this will help). Instead, we are appealing to your mind to identify inner disturbances as a spotlight. Your vibrational upset illuminates what has removed you from where your internal energy truly wants to be. From there, it is as uncomplicated as reversing the arrangement, calculating what it will take to overcome this negativity then pulling yourself closer to your Internal Universe's happiness. Ignoring your problems will not work, but turning away from them towards a solution-based mentality will not only work but much faster and better. Your emotional guidance system will purr in agreement with this headstrong switch of energy, and your brain will concur that this logical option is likely to reach the most promising results.

Once you achieve this internal harmony you will have progressed to better recognise your meaning of life. It takes training, but eventually, we can automate terrible events to initiate a bubble of energy pushing us in vantage points we'd never considered. We can come to appreciate and even crave those times when Life challenges us because they signify a profitable leap of individual evolution, coming soon.

By viewing these negatives as positives, you destroy their opposing power. Again, this concept is something we shall address in greater detail the more we cover. But when it comes to this chapter, it's enough if you understand that "everything always working out" and "forever landing on your feet" are nothing but states of mind.

To conclude, we call attention to people in immense poverty, with physical disabilities, or any comparable limitation. At times, many consider these humans as prime examples of those who have harder lives than others. Janthopoyism recognises this may regularly be the case, but it is never a given. Individuals with seemingly very little often have a profound comprehension of what is important in life. Luxuries have not diluted their priorities and they understand what it means to be alive better than most of us ever will.

Moreover, there are plenty of instances where people refused to stay in positions of difficulty, using their sacred conflict to fight upwards, rising into realms of astounding accomplishments, which they would not have strived for if hatched into a more privileged situation. Janthopoyism salutes these souls above any other!

Meanwhile, we offer our deepest condolences to those falling into the curse of great wealth. For nothing will aggravate the illusion of our immediate reality more than defining one's worth with material triumphs. And nothing will trap one's thinking faster than the cyclic subconscious nag of stuff to lose. And nothing will destroy the meaning of one's life more rapidly than getting everything you want whenever you want it. And nothing will provoke a deeper existential crisis than discovering that financial success does not automatically fix your problems and can instead scale them up in size.
