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.

The world is now composed of a neutered and
domesticated population. All the issues we face as
humans derive from this simple ideal. We have
been domesticated as a whole and live in a
multitude of virtual farms. From pet shops and
kennels, to zoo's and research labs. Imagine what
happens to the gold fish you have been raising in
his comfy little bowl for years when you put him
into an open lake? Some pets manage to run away
for periods of time, (vacation) but the vast majority
of them find their way back home. Usually, haggard
and desperate to receive any part of the
ammenities they left behind for their brief stint at
freedom. We are inside the most sophisticated
prison ever conceived! A flick of a switch and the
electricity, which is central to westernized lives can
be prevented from powering our home. Another
switch and the town or city goes dark. Another
switch and the nation goes black. The hands on
those switches may be other 'pets' doing their jobs,
but they will do as they're told for fear that the
hand above their own will turn off the switch that
powers their lives. Thousands of these switches are
in place to control us. Food is a major one. Water is
another. Shelter and the basics to allow a shelter to
be more than a cardboard box is the third
mandatory one. Of course the dependancy on
medications such as caffeine, sugar, nicotine, fast
food, illicit drugs, alcohol, pornography, television,
internet, communication, and a plethora of other
useful and not so useful things are placed to give
meaning to our fishbowl lives. We have no ability to
comprehend, never mind exist for any extended
period of time outside of our cages within cages.
100 years ago people were prepared to survive.
Prepared for what is coming to test all of us.
Everything negative has escalated and developed to
the oppressive state we have today. Whether it be
world war III, aliens, planet X, chemtrails, gmo
foods, , vaccinations, artificial intelligence, etc etc
that will purge this planet one day, who is
prepared?
Most likely we will destroy each other if we don't
wake up and realize that all we need is each other,
common sense, and love. The true prison is in our
minds and the key out is out of reach for most. It
takes a person what seems like an eternity to find
the keys to their vehicle when they are lost.
Imagine how difficult the quest for something that
only existed in our minds?
