When you try to figure out how it all works, you can quite easily get stuck in the head.  The mind needs to analyze, judge, and find the logic.  This is only half of how you know how Life work.  The knowing aspect of you has its locus in the heart.  This aspect has no need for analyzing and judging.  It simply knows Truth.  It flows with the wholeness of it all instead of breaking everything little thing down into every little part.  Neither is completely the right or wrong way to go about understanding.  Experience plays a large part in understanding your reality, but even then, perception may be skewed by the senses.  What to do?  Balance the head with the heart.  Judge and know.  Sense and flow.  Be content with mystery.  Ask questions and await answers that may or may not come.  In the meantime, as you wait, try love.  It is always the answer.
