So many distractions, a world rife with illusion, and to
elude you from what? Well the fact that you are here for an unfathomable amount
of time, even a day to some is almost insurmountable. As well, for each and
every one of us, death looms. How any sort of joviality can be construed with
such a reality is beyond me, but thankfully we have alcohol, drugs, music,
pets, food, love, beauty, nature, travel, etc to keep our minds off our
impending doom.
And truth is, death is not a finality, we keep living on and
on for millennia after this life, what escapes me is why we don’t have a conscious
understanding of the process of rebirth and existence as a whole. If we had
such an understanding we would dare not make the same mistakes and only grow
infinitely.
The process of life includes living with suffering,
illusion, mystery, and to live through the process of old age hence losing our
youth-which most of us use to our benefit, to land a rich and powerful mate and
those that don’t make the cut actually have to make it on our own.
I have always seen my inherent humanity as an alien
existence, it is one thing to look at oneself as gender confusion but to look
at oneself as being an alien being in a human body and thinking to yourself,
jeeze I guess I have facial worms like 98% of humanity lol
I think that those that aren’t living their life in service
to another in some way or some fashion is definitely missing out on the true
pleasure of existence, serving somebody continuously, serving some disciples in
spiritual direction, helping others, helping a loved one live their life a hell
of a lot easier is one of the most honorable existences.
So many take, and take, and just chart their way through
life.
I would like to be an example for somebody that makes 150k a
year and they get to their endpoint and they say “look at this guy, Shaun- he
made 90% less than you and he gave to countless charities whenever he could.
You have bought nothing but gold bars and platinum rings, you get another go
around”
I have always served animals in the past decade or so and
many do, and you feel such a sense of pride it almost carries over to your inherent
humanity. Just knowing that without you, the animal would starve and die. It brings
with it profound touching tenderness and love for the creature that needs you
in ways.
Many people that have departed would probably relay that the
one lesson in life is to understand the divine, to understand what kind of a
being it takes to take charge of other beings, because for the most highly
evolved and adept meditation masters this will be your new job when you cross
over.
To serve others.
We are all involved in such a serious pursuit, being
existence, and to waste it away on the trivialities of life is such a waste. I
think it was ordained long ago that there would be countless resources directed
at alleviating boredom, but essentially the simplest lesson, being meditation proves
to be the wisest pursuit to gain enlightenment.
However I can only meditate a few times a day or I would go
nuts, a life should be more diverse than that! And truth is… we need mindless
entertainment once and awhile, like REAL HOUSEWIVES lol :)
Anyways blogbuddies have a good day or week and catch ya on
the flipside !!
