There exists a world where God is a mirror.
The Universe reflects exactly back to you the inner state in which you accomplish life. Not consciously; not even emotionally; but as a qualia; as a state of being.
You think the Universe gives you pain. And it does, but it reflects back the pain you emanated to it the instant before.
Now we could debate what one should do in such a circumstance. We could discuss the moral lesson of such a world.
But that path is trod.
Let’s just ask, what would it be like?
What results from your boredom? Anger? Fear?
What if you give of yourself in abundance? Then would the Universe not give back to you in abundance?
Selfish abundance would get the same? A Universe which enriched you in image but not at the soul. In the scarcity of your giving, sparingly would you receive.
But a person who gave everything. A person who loved and laughed and honestly wished to better the lives of every person She met? She would be rewarded a thousand fold.
What does it matter the circumstances of your life if you do not live?
Treat the Universe as an honest friend, and it shall treat you the same.
Now, what conflict drives the plot in the Universe which is a Mirror?
