Personally, I don't think I am significant enough to warrant feeling needy. And I certainly am not special enough to warrant personal messages from God. Which, coincidentally, I have never gotten.

again, I agree. I think the term the "special" is the issue with me too. lmao, its like claiming they are special because the sun shown on them. or that evolution chose us. evolution chose us no sooner than you can choose the shape of your gizzard.
intellect is not a requirement to be "overwhelmed". Infact, many stupid people are overwhelmed. But I think you are actually referencing an emotional attachment. some people have more emotional needs than others. I have far less emotional need than most and thus I don't need the universe to love me. Or to make my person need to be fulfilled or for my personal feelings decide how the universe works.
we don't know why we are here anymore than a cell knows why its living in you. But because it doesn't know anything doesn't make you any less alive either.
