Towards A Wholeness Of Being

A human life is shrouded in mystery. Despite our best efforts to control how the journey unfolds,
most of us typically encounter a host of roadblocks, dead ends, and strange detours that, on the
surface, appear to lead us nowhere. And yet, in spite of this apparent randomness, we live in a
highly intelligent Universe that is continuously unfurling in absolute perfection. Even though the
mind may believe in chance or coincidence, the reality is that we cannot step outside this vast
field of pure quantum intelligence that surrounds and permeates us at all times. As we gradually
deepen our connection to this enigmatic intellect - through channels like meditation and spiritual
study - we slowly begin to understand, and eventually embrace, the idea that there are no
mistakes in life, only discoveries to be unearthed. Any seeming randomness vanishes from our
consciousness, having been replaced by an acceptance of whatever’s happening right now. The
more you remain open to this kind of expanded perspective, the smoother your life goes.
Unwanted experiences, losses, missed opportunities, and failures suddenly become welcomed
pathways for personal growth. And therein lies a profound truth: you cannot step wrong, no
matter how bleak and uncertain the road ahead gets. Everything that’s happening in your life is a
teaching designed just for you. It may be hard for some to accept, but strange and unusual forces
are afoot that brought you to this very moment, right here, reading these words . . .

Christopher Palbicki is an award-winning self-taught artist, writer, and spiritual aspirant born and raised in Los Angeles. In 2007 the Universe gifted him a blessing in disguise when he was fired from his ‘dangerously cushy’ corporate job as a TV producer in Hollywood. Following a series of intuitive impulses mixed in with some curious synchronicities, Christopher relinquished the comforts of Southern California and moved to NYC where he discovered a passion for painting and eastern mysticism. Christopher’s artwork reflects his ongoing commitment to the expansion of human consciousness through meditation, spiritual study, and mindfulness.

Currently residing in St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife Shona and their two cats, Charlotte and Rocky, Christopher welcomes correspondence at cpalbicki@gmail.com.
