The Living Force
This post may not come out too well as it is mostly metaphysical.
Of late, I have been wondering more and more about the power of narratives and stories. At work I note that sales are driven by the ability to sell a story to a client. Whenever things go wrong as well I note that the story that explains that thing tends to play a critical role on the overall client relationship. In the world we're seeing more overtly the mad drive by the PTB to control narratives and stories. All in all, stories are appearing to be a somewhat big deal.
Picture this - a kid fails a test. What does it mean though in terms of the following
All the above could be true - it all relates to the narrative you tell yourself as the reason why the kid failed. However, whatever narrative you choose it doesn't negate what happened: that the kid failed that test. So there's 2 things: the thing that happened and the narrative around why that thing happened.
It appears that humans (us) are hardwired to create narratives. It's not enough that a thing has happened, there must be a reason. Things just don't happen by themselves, things are driven by reasons and these reasons are connected to the meaning we extract from the thing that happened. So - kid failed test, reason, didn't revise, meaning, one must revise to pass test and the kid would have passed if he revised. Following this trail of thought - what about if the kid revised but failed? Okay, narrative - he didn't revise hard enough or perhaps the test was too hard --> meaning, revise harder or perhaps advise examining board to reduce how hard tests are etc. It's interesting because it becomes apparent from the narratives and the meaning we extract, there is an action that is then driven. This is to say that to a certain degree our actions are driven by our stories. However, this is not to say that you need a story in order to perform an action.
So anyways -
We talk about suffering and injustice which then may lead to cosmic reactions e.g. comets . It sounds like the cosmic reactions are as a result of what we perceive or experience to be suffering or injustice. It is odd that the cosmos would interpret it the same way we are and therefore react to "balance the scales" or something like that.
In any case the reason I went down this rabbit hole is I can't help but wonder whether the ability of 4D to mould reality has something to do with this interplay between what happens out there, how that links to our mind and the action driven forth from this link. Perhaps the link is much more visceral at that level.
In any case, to me this also explains why evil exists and why justice rarely gets served. To a large degree the cosmos may be agnostic. It does not tell itself the same stories you tell yourself. Perhaps it tells itself no stories at all.
Btw, we have 2 reasons I am aware to explain actions from animals

Picture this - a kid fails a test. What does it mean though in terms of the following
- Does it mean they are a failure and won't amount to anything
- Does it mean they didn't revise
- Does it mean they aren't interested in that subject or it doesn't suit them
- Does it mean this will allow them the opportunity to focus on a subject they are good at
- Does it mean he failed because he wanted to drop out of the class and this was the best way to do it

So anyways -
- Why are humans hardwired for narratives?
- What would happen if someone had a brain defect that meant they couldn't create a narrative or understand the power they hold in creating meaning?
- Does objective reality need us to be able to tell a story about it?
- Stories don't change what happened but they change why it happened at least as we perceive it.
- Intrinsically we can't see the world for what it truly is, we only see it from the confines of our vantage point be it physical or psychological.
- Does "injustice" exist objectively or does it only exist within the confines of our stories?

- Instinct: reactions, desire, need etc (all animals Inc humans)
- Narratives/stories (only applicable to humans)
