A random thought occurred to me when I was listening to a religious lecture.

The Three eyed crow is an important character in HBO’s Game of Thrones (GOT). It seems to have been inspired by the 3 eyed Lord Shiva. The third eye, called Netrikkann is something that gives Shiva visibility into the entire world, every event that happens, every thing that is said and done. Exactly the same thing happens to the 3 eyed crow in GOT. Bran sees it all, at any point in time, transcends time and space.

There are probably other references in other religions and scriptures of the all knowing and the ever being. But this was a connection that I understood. It resonated with me. Bran the Broken says one phrase - “**_you were exactly where you were supposed to be_**”. That indicates that everything we do, we are, we see, we do is the design of something larger, someone bigger and more omnipresent. To some, this being is Jesus, to others Allah and yet others, it is Krishna. But the convergence across these texts and faiths is interesting..
