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?
Technology erodes human character It separates us from nature, which diminishes our natural self. Out of touch with nature, we behave selfishly, stupidly. We become consumers instead of receivers. We become artificial. At the extreme we behave like machines. Technology makes us greedy, unhappy, impatient insensitive and full of hubris.

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.

Ohhh yes.... I remember when I first came to that realization. About 21 years old, laying on my bed tripping on mushrooms. My vision went away and all I could see was darkness and the earth slowly spinning in the middle of all of that space and I realized... Holy shit, we are essentially all a part of one giant organism. We are all one and the same. That's a game changer right there.

It really is simpler for people to ignore it. Spiritual awakening is not an easy process.

@Marsane1 You inspire me. I love your thoughts. It's really refreshing to hear meaningful content on here. Keep on keeping on.

That was a particularly intense night haha. As crazy as it sounds my husband and I (dating at the time) connected telepathically. It was wild. I did take a long break from them for the same reason as you... I wasn't in the right mindset. They can be just fun or they can be a learning tool. Lately though it's been nice to eat a few and just feel more connected to everything. Just sit outside and hang out with the trees 👌🏻

@thisisnotanexit Only just got your response... That sounds awesome. I do dabble in psychedelics from time to time myself, though never had that kind of experience yet. I'm teasing myself with it I think, preparing myself mentally. It's not the kind of thing you can un-know, so it's best to be in the right mindset beforehand I think.

@thisisnotanexit And then some, lol. If we could see ourselves from space we would quickly realise the true value of our existence and what it really means to be alive and conscious. We'd certainly treat our fellow man and woman a whole lot differently, that's for sure.

I love the fishbowl analogy. I never reeeally thought about it that way. Im sure looking down at us from space it looks the same... We're in our own little bubble and only know what is physically around us. Humanity's focus needs to be reborn, eh? 😜

@thisisnotanexit Very well said. You're right. We really are all on our own unique paths. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. All the best.

Awesome! That sounds so nice. And yeah, they can definitely be a learning tool, if used in that way, and to be in nature as well, as you said :)
