I Am On My Own Spiritual Path

It is kind of sad that most people on this planet don't care about asking questions of themselves or about the nature of reality. People aren't even curious or remotely interested. Unless it's something easy and superficial, or something that everyone else is doing, people just don't want to be challenged on anything. We want to stay in our little boxes and distract ourselves till it's time to kick the bucket. No questions asked. Nothing gained, nor ventured. Zilch. An existence based entirely on following rules, following what everyone else is doing. It's sad. I care about people more than they'll ever know or understand, and to see them squander the ability to transcend their machine-like existence is tough to watch...

Most people haven't even taken their first step, and most people have a lot to learn, not just about themselves but about life in general. The first step begins with self-inquiry, away from the noise of this world; who am I? what am I? Am I here to just be a mindless robot following rules, or am I here for something more? Is this all there is? Did the universe pull itself together out of nothing so I could sit around watching television, following rules? If you don't ask, you'll never know...

The universe talks to those who listen, those that take it upon themselves to ask questions. But because it's easier and simpler for people to just fall in line, very few ever do.

Happy to see you here FocusReborn. I look forward to reading your posts again :)

I believe everyone's purpose is to love and as long as they're doing that, it's all good. They don't have to understand why they're doing it. To understand on a spiritual level isn't necessary but I do wish more people at least asked themselves those questions. It can be frustrating, for me anyway, but I try to remind myself that those who are truly awake have no interest in judging those who are asleep. I have to remind myself that we're all on our own paths and some arent going to ask themselves what their purpose is until they're knocking on deaths door. I think it's kind of beautiful that there are so many souls and each one has its own relationship with the universe, their own path and their own pace, whether they realize it or not.
