The Anomaly
An anomaly is something
or someone who deviates from what is standard or expected. Are you an anomaly?
I look at my
life everyday and think, oh my God, I must be some sort of anomaly. No one’s
life can be this strange and peculiar, unexpected, and miraculously driven. Yet,
what I am fashioned to be like—the Creative Source—each of us has the capacity
to be like. So, why are there not more anomalies around me?
But being made
of the same substance doesn’t necessarily cause a thing or a human to react or
respond in kind with the rest of the creations of like mind. Think of the many
cars that are called Toyota. How many last for exactly the same amount of
years? How many are made of the same components, but some are anomalies in a
bad ways, and some in a good way standing up to time and weather unlike the
others. My sister has a car that has been running for 30 years. Each time she
revs the engine, it sounds as though metal meets metal. I’m sure it will never
get down the road. But the care takes her to her destiny once again. This car
is an anomaly, for sure.
My brother,
made of the same DNA as I, created in the same fashion from the same mother and
father, of the same substance, yet turned out to be a completely different
individual. In fact, he went in the opposite direction as I did in almost every
way. If you put the both of us in the same room, you would never believe we
were brothers. We don’t look alike, act alike, and more importantly, have not
ever believed alike. He has spent the majority of his life in jail or in a bar
drunk.
What causes the
anomaly of distinction to occur in an individual?
Is it actually
the spirit of the individual acting on its own destiny? Or is there a divine
component involved reaching forward into the life of the individual, moving
intricate parts of time and destiny to provide the proper protocol to make just
the right situations to occur to make for the perfect spiritual model?
When I look
back at my life there were many similarities to my brother. I had the same
alcoholic, abusive father. But my father treated me with a kind of premier
expectation, as if I would become someone special. My dad treated my brother as
if he were always going to be a bad seed.
As a result, my
brother sexually abused me. But instead of causing me to hate and recreate the
abuse, it caused me to have compassion for others. In another person, would
this abuse have caused a cycle of more abuse? Am I an anomaly because of this
change?
I had no mother
figure from 4th grade to 10th in my life, so there were
no maternal family members to help me understand life and put compassion in
order. In fact, I never even shared what happened to me until I was 25.
But God
provided a barren neighbor and her husband who kind of adopted me. I would
visit them almost every night. When Mary fell asleep on the couch and Emil on
his recliner, I would quietly go home, careful not to wake them. Most of the
evenings, they would feed me something special. When Mary went shopping, she
always took me with her and bought me something that made me feel special and
loved. She was my surrogate mother. She was an anomaly made specifically for
me—an angel, for sure.
All the trials
in my life have led to my purpose. I believe solely in Unlimited Resource and
Unlimited God for all my wants and desires. I have no doubts that I am here for
a reason. Every day that new reason appears to me with passion and delight.
My questions to
you friend is: Up to this point in your life, have you been an anomaly? And if
not, can you change the pattern of your life and become that which is not
standard and not usual to those around you? Can you breach expectation and walk
in the light of truth without cause of cognitive reason as all anomalies do?
Try abnormality
and see. It’s quite the intriguing life.
