Does everything happen for a reason?

[Schahin]

I once asked an experienced 5 Meo DMT facilitator if everything happens for a reason and the individual has no free will for anything and he (M. BALLS) Said that tge opposite is true that nothing happens for a reason and there is free will. 

What are some of the opinions here? 

I had some experiences which showed me slightly the state of no-self and the union under god, so it made me realize that there isnt anything I could ever decide.

Still after a while I somehow discard that notion because if God is asleep then how can my actions be highly intelligent and highly conscious and therefore nothing happens fot a reason, only if I as god was totally awake then ever could everything happen for a reason. I tried to convince myself that indeed I have the total power to change whatever I want, especially having realized that I AM the only "thing" that actually exists here therefore I even more have the responsibility and power to change anything and the responsibility to awaken in order to act more consciously and lovingly. But dors the decision of awakening even lie ib my hands if I am a nonexisting avatar? What about that statement of M. Balls and the general belief of mankind tht god passed on free will to the humans. 

Is a transformative experience and a god realization even the choice of myself? When I realize I am god that is supposedy an accidental step where I took a psychedelic and woke up, but saying it is divine intelligence that planned it for me wouldnt that make divine intelligence (me) having always been awoke and not ever asleep because a sleepy god cant plan with utmost intelligence? How did I plan this for myself then when I am still asleep?

one bias I've notice over the years is that:
the problem with human psyche in general is that it can rationalize literally everything, everthing

if you give people totally random piece of data, they still gona create meaning of it - it's like  auto-created sense machine,
there were make study on that.

i'm not sure of that- but I would guess that's prevent us from self-destruction, otherwsie rationality might leads to dead end.

Whatever happens just happens there's no Rhyme or Reason to anything...

It just simply is... Indescribable and incomprehensible...

Total freedom ❤ or imprisonment just depends on how you view it

I've been struggling with this a lot, since I've noticed lots and lots of syncronicities: from stupid stuff like "I was listening randomly to a song on Spotify and then it pronunced a Japanese name and go pass a square where I find a billboard of a Japanease restaurant with the same name" to more important stuff


Would be interesting to see @Leo Gura take on syncronicities, and all the things happening for a reason or not in the life. I mean the over all reason is probably for us to wake up and realize that we are God
