" The most important decision we ever make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe."
...because we don't see and experience things as they are, but as We are! We project our own ideas and beliefs onto the world. Perception is projection. I've seen it so many times in so many people. There are those who believe that the world is hostile, dangerous, that there's never enough, that bad things always happen etc., seem to attract all of this stuff towards them whereas those who feel that the cosmos is friendly, generous, full of opportunity, basically safe and supportive generally experience this as their reality.
Ask yourself which you would rather(?) because it seems that our basic attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy. We almost always get what we expect. I know that it seems if I wake up in a good mood, on a high, then all day long things seem to flow, to just work out. I walk down the road and it's just as if everyone I pass is smiling at me and the sun is shining. On the other hand, if I wake up feeling low, get out of bed on the wrong side, then it follows that I'll see the negative in everything and just struggle along.
It's taken me a long time to really realize that this is actually all my own choice, deep down. Everything begins from within. No doubt each individual's most basic idea of whether the universe is friendly/hostile is formed at a very early age, determined very much by early experiences, conditioning and impressions. Because of this, it can seem that our outlook is pretty fixed, but it's not.
We always have the choice to change our minds about anything. In fact mind, body and just about everything else is constantly changing anyway. So to shift that inner-attitude to a more positive one is just natural. It's evolution. It may actually be the case that the universe is neither hostile nor friendly - but just neutral??
Even so, if you look into the eyes of a newborn baby, see a bird on the wing or a shooting star, or watch a beautiful sunset you will just know, without a doubt, that there is something divine, miraculous, infinitely loving and supportive behind it all. I don't know what it's called, maybe it's better nameless, but I do think that Einstein was right again when he said, "the most beautiful thing we can experience is the mystery".
