The following post will have everything to do with Life and God, but nothing regarding Animal Crackers. I'm sorry to disappoint.
A warning in advance - this post will be everywhere. I am about to attempt an explanation of a theory that I have been developing for some time, and call me crazy, which would not be the first time, but I feel that the purpose of a blog is to express all matters of thought - whether they be senile or not.
On that note, enjoy my discussion, and PLEASE post your opinion!
The debate and discussion regarding the purpose and time-line of life is a topic that has crossed everyones minds at least once, I myself am no exception. Many people feel that we are beings put on this world by an all controlling God or 'entity' whose purpose is to live our our lives and meet our creator in a paradise afterwards. Others feel that we are individuals to ourselves, and we are the true decision-makers and shapers of our destiny. Then you have people who feel we are spiritual slaves trapped in carcasses of flesh that need to be released through the praising of some made-up monster, however... that is for a different discussion ;) .
I myself, although I am skeptical of my own discovery, feel that our lives are somehow predetermined by a higher being. *It may not be 'God'* but there has to be something... anything! that is more powerful than humanity. Think about our history - wars, plagues etc. etc.! There is no way when one considers the history of our race, that we should even exist. Yet I think that the reason we still are a thriving society, is because there has been someone, or something guiding us along the way. Who knows, maybe we are all some sick, demented experiment of an alien society (for those of you interested in further research, Google "Planet X" I promise you it won't disappoint.) Now, when one takes into account all the bad that could, and probably should have happened, we must conclude that this force that is 'aiding' us must be present in our daily lifes - and this Dear Reader, is where my theorum becomes evident.
This is somewhat if not directly related to the phenomenon of Deja Vu. For those of you who are unaware of what this is, or those who believe you have never experienced it (liars) Deja Vu consists of "a French phrase meaning "already seen", and it refers to the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously." Now where my idea comes in is that life as we know it, is predetermined - to an extent, and we as human beings have the capability of catching glimpses into our 'timeline' yet we do not fully have the mental capacity, at least not most of us - myself included, to piece these clues and glances together to transcribe a relative guideline. At the time of the "vision" our minds are too preoccupied to fully comprehend the significance of the details presented and brush them off as just useless information.
Now comes time for the example, and oh how I love my examples.
Lets say one day you are minding your own business and somebody mentions Bananas. Now! An ordinary person probably uses the word Banana at least twice a day but lets imagine you are someone who has never EVER heard of a supposed 'Banana.' Now, you just learnt about this supposed elongated fruit, but no less than hours later maybe you hear about a Banana from another media source such as the radio! This link between the two is what my theory consists of. The 'coincidence' of never hearing this word before but then hearing it AGAIN only hours later is what could be concluded as a glimpse into our lifeline. I know how absurd and out there this sounds, and I myself am a skeptic of my own thoughts, but if one takes note, even for a day, I am sure you will begin to see the similarities between thought and action.
In conclusion, the coincidence of a first (re)encounter to a second instance is sometimes too evident to be mere 'fate' and one should consider the idea that maybe it is more than coincidence, but maybe you are actually 'tapping in to' an otherworldly phenomenon.
I know how crazy that is, and I apologize for the confused look you probably have on your face, but I felt compelled to express what was on my mind, and this has been on it for quite some time. Hopefully it made some sense, and hopefully it sparks some imaginative thoughts! Please post your own thoughts and ideas, and be sure to check back regularly for new posts and replies to your comments!

Alright, so I can't post anything long, but I'll post what I can:
So I was thinking, have you ever been doing something really pointless or whatever and then you're just like "Hey, I remember that from a dream!". Like you dream whats coming... I dunno, it sounds ridiculous but I definitely get that all the time.
Just thought I'd toss that into the mix!
Ben, I cant say that I have experienced that. It does sound very interesting though! Maybe post something more explainative if you get the time.
My next post is actually gonna be about Fight Club
Hope you like it haha
'It may not be 'God' but there has to be something... anything! that is more powerful than humanity'
Well said.
That whole "I dreamt that" thing happens to me all the time.
The basic fact is there has to be something greater then humanity. Humanity has this feeling inside of us, this conscience that bids us to do good for other people. It's more then a natural instinct because a lot of the time it runs counter to what the natural choice aught to be. It's this little thing inside of us telling us what we aught to do. It tells us right from wrong. But how can right or wrong mean anything if there is not some perfect standard to measure them against? Surely this standard cannot be human created for we cannot be perfect. No, there has to be something. If you ask me that something is the Christian God.
If you're looking to try and discover what that something might be I suggest reading Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. I'm reading it right now and holy, it's awesome.
that dream stuff is deja vu.... so you think youve dreamt it or done it before... the understanding of it right now is "that your life is going as planned" so weather it be you walked into a room sat down and started doing something and getting a strange feeling like youve done it before or dreamt about it or something way more complex is still classified deja vu...if were on the same page that is.
