Do all of the pieces fit?

Question

Are they supposed to?
I'm talking about the 'big picture'. I've noticed that you've been sifting the wheat from the chaff and collecting the kernels of truth, insight, and wisdom. (haven't you?) You've been piecing a puzzle together; assembling a private worldview of all that is. Is it whole yet? Will it ever be? Do you have pieces that don't seem to fit, yet you hang on to them for other reasons? Why? Are they dependent on pieces you haven't aquired yet? What pieces haven't you found? The meaning of your name? The meaning of an unresolved chapter of your life? Something else? Do you have any idea of what the big picture will look like when it's complete, or are you hoping it will occur to you as you piece it together? Will it happen in your lifetime?
Can you force the pieces into place? If they fall into place naturally and something clicks, what then? What does the big picture look like ?
If you feel the slightest impulse to answer, then this question is intended for you.

Cosmicsufi: yes, we must be related!

You guys are great! Can we build a fire and open a bottle of the finest? Can we drink from the same cup?

skeptic: stick it up your a**! (spiritually speaking, of course ;-)

Another friend has asked me to wait for his response before I resolve this question...

onelight: "..what will their puzzle piece reveal?" The individual in relationship to All That Is

Answer 1

You've outdone yourself again. Now you want a thesis. Forget it. Write your own. Your questions are all legit.
However you and only you will be able to answer these to your benefit.

What I will tell you is this. If you could look at ALL the pieces from my life prior to 1989 and that is 44years' worth, the majority of them would be black or black mixed with some other colors. What I mean by this, is that I was creating by default most of the time. When I saw the patterns, I had no idea how to make any changes.
From that time on I started on a search and rescue mission. Big time. I found the key in Jerry and Esther Hicks' workshop in 1998, how to work with the law of attraction. It was simple enough, nothing deep. Yet what I found is that Esther's ability to translate blocks of thought was and continues to evolve. To use your terminology, the picture got bigger and bigger, clearer and clearer, and practical information as regards tools improved with every question that people asked. The picture of my life now is brilliant. Some of the pieces taken in the old context certainly would look grey. Yet in the new context I see those as shiny metallic grey, not bad at all.
Do the pieces fit? Yes sir! Your Honor. Everything fits. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, bingo! Creation is perfect, all that is is perfect. We can twist it and turn it and look at it from different angles, but in the end it is perfect.

Now this is already long. I could use a cult language and cut it down 60-70%, but then you would be lost. I could stick to academic sounding words, but that would take me all night at best.

Should you now ask a related question without doing your own checking and experimenting, I will refuse to answer.
Enjoy yourself. Start small. See you later, sunny!

Answer 2

I feel it will not happen in this lifetime but somehow I've seen where I might be heading soon. Just don't know yet how many lifetimes. The idea of the big picture cannot be forced together but rather it comes naturally like a puzzle where pieces be placed one at a time in the right order in the right time. Funny, the mind always gets ahead of our time. It can see and prepare the path of our heading. Personally, I feel the puzzle is almost complete. I have had several clicks. Each click super-cedes the last click. Each truth is super-ceded by a higher level of truth. And every time I have this click, it is like a spiritual explosion wanting to get out from my body accompanied by euphoric sensation of peace and love.

I think you understand what it feels like when you hit onto something - sort of a happy thought.

Answer 3

Hi Sunman. Once again you have asked a deeply compelling question. Do you see into my soul? The puzzle is not whole. Will it ever be? I don't know. I hang onto the pieces that don't fit because I am dependent upon them. I think that one day I may need them in some way. What "will be" will be revealed when it is the proper time. Until then I do the best I can and follow the directions that I am given by the Creator. Some things can be "forced" in a sense, by manipulating things to happen in the way that one would like. If it is not meant to be then time will reveal that to a person. In the meantime, I will continue to work on my puzzle. =)

Answer 4

Greetings Friend,

First I want to say a few things: 1) I love the questions. They are great. 2) I am not even going to attempt to top canrod4peace's answer. That would probably be impossible. I loved that answer. I will just through my hat in because I love this stuff.

When I think of your questions, I think of the movie "Signs" starring Mel Gibson. He couldn't figure out why his wife was in a car wreck, but in the end, it all made sense. I look back at some of the events in my life and I become grateful, even the "bad" stuff. It all has some how worked out. I cannot say that they big picture is always clear, especially when I am in the thick of it, but I can say that I am happy with my life. Things have not turned out so bad after all. Even in the blackness, light was shining.

I am at peace. Everything is how it should be and while I am not sure exactly how things will turn out, I trust they will turn out for the good some how.

sending love,

Answer 5

between The ages of 11 and 15 my life is a blur. I vaguely remember my 13th birthday (bar mitzvah) but everything else is a blank. Before 11 I was a smart talented kid with a lot of potential. After 15 I was a nebbish for at least 4 years until I discovered recreational drugs. After that I advanced in creativity and began an endless search for the truth behind everything that continues to this day. Every day I get closer to universal truths but what my life was like 11-15 is still tantalizingly beyond my reach.
I think thats why I say
" All that was should have been. All that is should be. Only what will be can be by our own design."
And
"BE HERE NOW"
I'm a little worried that I can't can't get off the wheel of karma this lifetime unless I can access those memories. I hope I'm wrong but maybe I'll make it next life if worse comes to worse.

Answer 6

No, it will never be whole. The world shifts and changes so fast. To say "it's complete" is like saying I just bought the top of the line computer and now I have all the bells and whistles I will ever need".

The only one who would not know that was dilusion would be the one who decided to stop.

I don't have a projection of a completed picture either. I'm also doing interior work to be able to embrace more of the big picture. To be a part of as many of the pieces as possible.

g'nite Sunman, wonderful question as always. The perfect blend to make the reader think you were talking directly to her.

Answer 7

I see it as simply keeping and open mind, being mindful and remembering that it is not only cause and effect, but the experience of the individual...context....that determines our perceptions of what we consider reality.

It takes me back to the what is consciousness line of questioning. Is there mind, spirit, soul...or as Buddha said...our thoughtds are all that will remain of our individual selves after death. The living forms of thought! We create the infinite Buddha rhelms!

How strange really. To what do we attribute our desire to know? Are we doomed to seek survival of the self even if it is just the knowledge that some essence of our life will continue into eternity whether we remember it or not?

We are part of what we cannot fully know at once. The eternal ocean pouring into a simple tea cup only holding a little at a time.

Peace and pondering pondering.

Canron 4peace! That was brilliant! Yes all the peaces fit...we just don't always get it.

Answer 8

Where do I begin. Maybe I had all the pieces that I was supposed to have once a long time ago, but those have all been broken. There was a few times that I almost could have made it work, but events in life either smashed them or scattered them so far apart there is no hope of ever finding them again.

Now I have only fragments and no hope of ever putting the puzzle together. It is too late for that now. All I can hope for is that I can sustain my life on these few pieces I have left. I have to protect them with all I have because they are all I have.

Answer 9

(((sunman)))
even if all my pieces would fit, i am not ready for them to do so yet!
perhaps when i reach a certain balance of my vibrations, it will be timely for the pieces to come together.
but for now i am busily sifting!
i need to learn still, as some of my responses are not balanced, whilst others are, though those that have settled are occasionally displaced when i do learn a new lesson/reaction/response; i have unresolved areas, some confusing areas, some obtrusive shadows, some unknown meanings, yet to be revealed to me.
so the big picture is not yet complete, but i have a sense that yes, it will become so within my lifetime, but i will not force it to be so. that i believe would jar the vibrations and disturb what is balanced. i do not know what the big picture will look like yet sunman, but if i reach that time, i will be sure to tell you and invite you to sit with me and observe it quietly together :D
blessed be

Answer 10

the picture is an unending puzzle- if they all fit, then we are finished, and how can God ever end?

When we move into the now, everything becomes right, we move effortlessly in right action.
Pure consciousness, using the brain that lives in our heart to be, rather than trying to figure out with the mind....

There have been many seeds I have cast out, and have waited for them to take root, sprout, flourish. If my picture is too constrained, then the miraculous has no room to grow. When I am watchfully waiting, ready, alert, but effortless, then the most wondrous things take place - better than I could have ever imagined.
