Does Everything Happen for a Reason?

Does everything happen for a reason? A woman says that it feels like things in her life have happened how and when they happened for a reason. It feels as though it's not random, as though things happen for a reason because they are meant to teach her something. She asks, does God intentionally create manifestations of consciousness in order to wake itself up?

Rupert uses the analogy of a rubber ball that is fully compressed to explain that like the rubber ball, we are contractions of infinite consciousness with a tension in each of us that is always wanting to return us to our natural condition of equilibrium. We experience these impulses to return to our self – the one, or infinite being – as the desire for happiness, or an artists desire for beauty, or a scientist's desire for understanding. The pathway on which it returns is the pathway of each of our lives.

This clip is take from one of Rupert's in-person retreats at Garrison Institute from March 27 - April 3, 2022.
