There is nothing in the universe that does not have meaning, that is not meaningful. That meaningfulness is not only of good intent, but of superlative intent, seeking the greatest possible development and fulfillment of all of its parts. Each creature has its own meaning within it, and that personal meaning fits in with the greatest good of all others.
Following one’s own nature, therefore, would ideally lead to the greater fulfillment of the species and the world. When you are thinking in terms of cause and effect you cannot glimpse that greater meaning. It is beyond all questions of beginning and ending, for out of its framework spring such concepts and realities.

Scientists look for the objective most of all, and clear-cut cause and effect. They examine what they think of as an impersonal universe. The universe is however personal most of all. It is filled with intimate relationships. It has a subjective rather than an objective basis.

All of your exterior communication, your physical events, national affairs, and private gatherings, are the result of the interrelationship of subjective realities, whose very basis is not physical at all. The power that moves the world does not come from the world, but at each moment comes into the world. The ordinary events of each day are overloaded with coincidences and significances that are nearly invisible because they are so taken for granted, and they are so multitudinous in number, and fit so perfectly into the framework of the days.

It hints at the most precise and powerful focus, so that amid an infinity of data, events can be arranged at times so that two particular people, for example, separated in childhood, could, 30 years later, find themselves living next door to each other. In the meantime, they might have hired detectives, and all objective avenues may have yielded no results, until by chance they meet at the corner grocery.

(10:40.) Their conscious decisions for making numberless moves, for example, changing jobs perhaps, and the literally numberless decisions involved, were all made consciously for different reasons. They hired detectives to find each other—a clear-cut motive that seemingly had little to do with their own separate personal lives, their jobs, or their families. They could not then see the entire picture, or understand for example that a seemingly innocuous, or even a seemingly unfortunate event, that led from a move to one place from another, had anything to do with the search.

Science’s eyes, at least, have been largely closed, because it does not know how to read the personal script that is written everywhere in the passages of the chromosomes, or in the passages of a poem. The chromosomes above all bear a personal message. They are not hypothetical, generalized plans of an objective species to its offspring, but a genetic message carried tenderly to each specific individual of that species (intently)—so uniquely couched that none of those individuals are the same.
Your organized patterns of thought cause you to look in all the wrong places, usually for the wrong reasons.

He began to creatively consider what he would do, and then out of habit projected, at times, his present circumstances, so that they seemed to contradict his hopes. Both of you to some extent did the same thing for the same reasons. Until our hypothetical friends met each other at the corner grocery, it seemed that all of their efforts and searches brought no success. They might even have been living on the same street for a year before the meeting. They had no idea of faith in the terms of which we are speaking, yet in Framework 2 their desires came about—and not as a result of detective work.

You certainly know consciously the importance of those significant clues, or the body’s reasoning or processes. It is not releasing itself with no purpose. It is a meaningful universe. Almost all of your doubts come directly to that point. Either that or you doubt your ability to impress the universe.
[... 1 paragraph ...]
Your conversations, your drives, your mail, the television programs you watch—all of these are involved—involved in that you will be led to watch programs, for example, that in one way or another help the entire picture. The power of the universe is a personal one. When your intent is clear, events fall into place in your lives, from the most minute to the most momentous, that bring that desire to pass.
