It'd be hard to rationalize but that's why I urge you to try to separate the wheat from the chaff within those patterns. Which ones have true
meaning and which ones are contrived? You have an intensely creative mind, Chris. That creativity is unchecked and unbridled. At the same time,
you question all of it, which is incredibly good. Keep questioning it.
There are many things in this world that the majority of people have no clue of or understand. They are not complicit or working against you. Most
people go to work, do their jobs, complain about their bosses, go home, have dinner and sit down to watch a few hours of tv before heading off to bed
and repeating the cycle all over again. That's a pattern of behavior in and of itself that is dominant through the mass of society. It's not that
they are working with whomever you think is controlling things. It's simply not a part of their world view. There are so many things that people
don't know.
I can understand the feeling that the people in your life were somehow pre-planned to be there. A couple years ago, I started asking all of my
friends a question that I had never thought to ask before and was really shocked by the answer. You see, we were all in the same specialized program
as children. Worse yet, I knew, because of research, that hypnosis had been used in that program for a long time. So there I was, discovering that
almost 95% of my friends that I asked that question of--the people I most frequently talk to--had all been in this program that had also used hypnosis
and had talked about using post-hypnotic suggestion. It was a huge WTF moment for me. However, we didn't identify ourselves as having been in this
program at the beginning of our friendship. Instead, we were all just drawn to each other likes bees to honey. Some of these people I had been close
to for 15 years and I never thought to ask them if we had that one thing in common. Because I knew that they had used hypnosis, which I personally
feel can be intensely manipulative, it forced me to question why I was friends with these people and whether it was natural or deliberate.
In the end, I decided that what drew me to those people were their quick minds, their way of seeing the world, and how it was a relief to meet someone
that was so much like me. And honestly, the ones running the programs wouldn't have wanted us flocking together because, frankly, we're all a bunch
of trouble makers, lol. It wasn't the hypnosis that brought us together. The program selected us based on specific attributes of our personalities
and intellect. We became friends not because of hypnosis or pre-planning but because we shared those same attributes. The remaining 5% of my
friends that I asked that question of were not in the program but shared those same attributes. One even had been selected for it but her mother
didn't want her in it. We often chose the people who are close to us because they share some sort of understanding of who we are. It's called
compatibility.
We're drawn to people who are like ourselves and can understand us because it keeps us from feeling alone. A lot of my friends were also, like me,
victims of child abuse. We understand each other like that and know not to say things like "she's your mother so you have to respect that" like so
many people who weren't victims of child abuse do. In your case, could it be that that woman and all the others that have passed in and out of your
life were there because you all were similar in some way? That it wasn't deliberate pre-planning or scripting of your lives but simply feeling, for
at least a bit, that that other person "gets" you? Patterns can be forced, especially when it comes to numbers or letters, but some patterns are
natural.
