Things the Universe will not tell you

Been thinking past couple days after seeing some comments, posts etc about just what the universe will and will not do for you, so it got me to thinking and this is a list I came up with.

1. Life is not fair..It doesn’t matter how much you whine and wail, that is just the truth of the matter.  Someone, somewhere will invariably look like they have things made to the max while you are on the edge of nothingness, an yet..you do not have advantage of their perspective, so have no clue as to the truth  of that image.
2. People lie.  It’s human nature to want to hide things from others.  I’m sure it’s gone on since the dawn of time, it’s been spoken/preached on ad nauseum about how Eve lied to god about what she had been up to, never mind that she had examples from god himself when he said to not eat from the tree of Knowledge “lest they die”..OK, they didn’t immediately die, which was the implication, so maybe a half-truth?
3. People will take things that belong to you.  It may be plagiarizing something you’ve written, taking your personal belongings, or your identity.  Small or large, it makes you feel sick to your stomach because you have been violated.
4. NOBODY knows everything.  I know that we’ve all seen people who speak with such knowledge that we might feel that they are a wealth of knowledge..and they probably are…on that subject.  I have yet to meet someone who is omnipotent or omniscient.  Buddhists feel that Buddha reached the level of true enlightenment, and while that is an admirable goal, I feel if he were truly enlightened, then he would have found a way to attain god status and retain the love and family he left by the wayside in his journey.
5. What you do has a reaction.  It’s called “cause and effect”, not karma…If you do something like leave your shoes out in the floor then trip over them, I guess you learned to put them away.  Sometimes you may get caught up in others shit, and while its not really your fault…if you had removed yourself from the situation, you might not be covered in shit when it hits the fan.
6. Not all people who claim to practice magic really do. Some talk a good game, but its all illusion.  some try to differentiate it by being pretentious and adding a “k” to the word..sort of like Crowley, who also did that to let people know the difference between real magic and sleight of hand, although he was known to have once stated that witches are great illusionists because they make you see what you think you see ..some do..those who make a buck or two off readings, spells for sale etc.  The “I can remove that curse for 1500.00” group is alive and well in many paths.
7. Readings are for guidance only.  No matter how many tarot cards you pull, runes you peer at, bones you throw…whatever divination you use…it’s all guidance and not set in stone.  It’s not like throwing dice over and over again hoping for a 7 or 11 only to get snake eyes.  You and you alone have the ability to change things in your life.  The cards or reader can give you insight, but that is all it is.  Death does not mean literal death..stop freaking out..it’s change..not always physical.  Learn to be fluid in those readings, and never pay a reader who only wants to ask you 1001 questions because they are just siphoning off from you..they aren’t really reading.
8. Yes there really are people who can suck all the energy out of a room. They don’t always know they are doing it..it’s just how they are.  If you don’t shield enough to keep from being exhausted by spending time around them..learn to avoid them.
9. Family will always make you crazy. It’s in their nature.  Sometimes we are frustrated by wanting better for them, and they repeatedly screw that up.  Sometimes they kick us out of their lives because they are too selfish to know that family is what gives one roots, yet wings to fly.  We just have to shrug and let it go. It just pulls us to their insane level trying to figure it out.

10. Life is filled with love and beauty if we just take the time to see it.  Friends come into our lives that fill it with laughter, and insight, and that is a great thing to be thankful for.

Now I am sure that there are a great many other things that the Universe does not clue us in about, so feel free to add your own to the list..but this were the ones that made my top 10.

Peace Out
