well, i have no idea, something outside of time and space, lots of secretaries maybe...
i can understand it easily enough from a simple psychological perspective, precisely as i am describing it - surrendering to the unknown things that you can't change or affect and letting them go
if you are stuck in that "but... but... what if..." it burns so much mental energy that you can use much better doing something productive, it's a lot of energy it frees up when you say "i'll leave it with my bro Jesus and deal with this moment" it's a way of bringing yourself into the present and out of a disjoint mental model from your actual current existence
it really does work too... and sometimes you even get told things, i had one quite remarkable incident occur while i was on the outskirts of Bologna, paused in front of this country house with this really crazy road, was just kinda exhausted and the road was crazy dangerous and as you may know, italians are crazy drivers, especially up north i think, and this road was a deathtrap anyway
it just came to me "just wait here a minute" and a minute later this old lady pulls up and invites me in and feeds me home made bolognese pasta (bow ties they were) and some of their own vintage, packs me a bunch of food and off i went
this happened because i was constantly speaking out loud to whatever and it also answered on other occasions
out of this experience i started to come to this model of God as the Game Designer and in all good games there is hints when you are stuck
i'm in one of those places again and i think the lesson here is i have to maintain this chatter as a constant process, exactly as Phillipians 4:6-7 says it
that verse itself came to me out of the blue from a dutch friend, who was some loopy bahai guy, esperanto speaker and all, connected to the Open Society Foundation (yes that one) and i was super sus on this guy but that particular verse has stuck with me ever since and my life has always been better during the times i practised as it teaches
