Life is like riding a surf board. You can either fall into the ocean or you can ride the wave all the way to the shore. Some waves crash with a roar while others simply fade back into the ocean. So what are you going to do?

It's time to get back in tune with the universe. Humans are like that one wrong note bringing the universal harmony out of whack. It wasn't always this way, somewhere along the line we walked out of the jungle and there was a great shift from animal to human. We learned to communicate. We became civilized. We made our villages, cities and countries. We socialized with other humans and became dependant on them to help us meet our needs. At such time we became human leaving many of our animalistic instincts behind.

There are a few stories about this out there. The analogy in the Bible is when Adam and Eve bit into the apple. Science calls it evolution, saying that our brains evolved into what it is today and is based on our needs for survival and self-fulfillment. Modern life has its own example, when a child grows they break out of tune with the universe into the materialistic world of adulthood. They are taught how to act in the world in order to survive and be accepted by others. The problem is that this is totally against the grain.

Some try to find that universal harmony. In Buddhism it's called Nirvana. Lao Tzu called it Tao or "The Way". Others call it inner peace, tranquility, happiness. Jesus talked about looking upon heaven with the awe of a child. There are many ways to achieve this; prayer and meditation are two of the most common. Some believe that universal harmony can be achieved through drug use, which goes all the way back to the Shamans use of hallucinogenic plants and mushrooms. There are many different reasons for drug use today. Universal harmony is not one of them. Drugs bring you about as far away from that goal as is possible.

Those who are able to ride the wave find things falling into place. Those who can't find their lives in utter chaos. The sad thing is that it is almost always a choice. Although for some, life comes at them too fast. Obstacles are placed in their way. There is always a way around it though, isn't there? Obstacles are simply what keeps us on our toes. We can choose to let it stop us, or we can find a way around it. No matter how many rocks or dams are in a river, the water always makes it's way to the lake or sea, now doesn't it?
