Universal Irony Division: One of the greatest tricks of the mind is that it tries to make sense of things. And that’s great when there’s enough data to draw a complete picture. But sometimes, maybe most of the time, there’s not.
So the subconscious mind finds data to try to put things together.
Seemingly separate occurrences can start to follow a pattern–because that’s what your subconscious is suggesting to your perception.
Ultimately, it is you that give things meaning.
So in the absence of a pattern, the mind will make one for you. In the absence of reason, the subconscious will make one for you. It’s just doing its thing.
Awareness gives you the ability to see these thoughts as they come up and discern, are these events related?
Allow each thought about each event to flow independently.
Just observe them going by like clouds in the sky. They don’t have to mean anything… Just accept them as they are.
As an added bonus, this also releases attachments you have to outcomes of certain situations.
Just try not adding meaning to things. Instead of trying to find order, embrace the chaos. That is where life begins.
