There is an old black expression "go with the flow" that exemplifies my view of the universe and life. I think there is a force that moves through everything constantly expanding and contracting but always moving forward and toward good. Inside the flow lies peace and serenity. Outside is a constant struggle. I've studied many religions and found most are self perpetuating. As soon as a child becomes aware, it's parents begin to teach their religion and their beliefs about life.
A child then spends his or her formative years absorbing their caregivers attitude toward everyone else. Thus most youngsters adopt their parents particular creed. Their belief in an old man with a white beard being their image of a supernatural superman who controls, guides and judges everyone according to His pleasure or displeasure and finally assigning the afterlife of each individual.
I feel we do a disservice to many and cause them to live tumultuous lives by never finding or even looking for the flow of the river of the universe. No one ever told them about it's existence. According to Zen, you see without looking. Serendipity itself. I spend most of my life in peace, love and acceptance of whatever comes and find good in everything. I went with the flow.
