What you choose to do here is up to you, but for some of us
it remains that this is a pseudo prison sentence or net that we are all
involved in and forced to objectify things like celebrities and money.
A cheese farmer may not sound like a better job than a
banker, if you think about it, but to a spiritually adept individual they may
see the cheese farmer as providing nourishment to people and feeding people
where a banker may just cause pain and suffering to people.
You look around at how society is setup and you realize that
there are many people that are going to come back again and again rebirth after
rebirth until they get it.
Me personally, I understand suffering immensely but I just
don’t understand how exactly some people are dealt a swifter hand in it all. I
think though a way to alleviate suffering is to be completely aware of every
action you do from work to recreation.
Countless people I see in the world that treat people
brutally at work, and argue and make nasty comments and inflict harm in
business but don’t understand why their personal life is so conflicted.
I think much of it has to do with the fact that we are not
an ancient society, we are only a society that concerns itself with money
obligations where in Buddhist countries they have things like monasteries to
attract people that are interested in the spiritual life and are tuned to this
frequency rather than work an entire life for a mortgage and such
And most people in Canada and the USA are unaware of this
type of existence unless they visit places like China or Thailand or India
I think we would be a better suited economy if we had
safeguards like this in place in our society where people that are not suited
to the working life nor have the motivation to make money can find respite
Plus it is a small world when you get to the top of the
ladder and it is never crowded, but most people choose to use things like
secret societies as avenues for fame and riches.
I think this is the nastiest course of action, to join
something you don’t understand, and something like a society that keeps secrets
even from its own members is honestly the weirdest thing I can conceptualize. For most people this form of life is a wise
course of action, who wants abject poverty and homelessness.
I have never been one to preach to belong to freemasonry or Catholicism
or anything like that simply because I would not want to be doing rituals and
oaths I have no idea what I am invoking or adoring.
But to simply believe in nothing, doesn’t seem the wisest
course of action either, which is why some people simply view intellectualism
as a faith and most in society won’t belong to such a loosely construed faith
such as Buddhism but that is ok, because people tend to mix with their own
kind, which is why I believe things like meditation and discourses and incense
and nocturnalism can be entwined in a beautiful ancient dialogue.
Mostly the mainstream faiths have just ensnared souls for
countless generations, and there is no telling how many people they have
ensnared but you only begin to realize what is a right course of action
unfortunately years into your practice.
Perhaps I was born as a Buddhist who knows, but it seems to
fit in with my ideals, a highly introspective and intelligent design and
something that makes sense, having enlightened beings chart the very nature of
your soul, if you allow them, seems to be the wisest course of action for me
personally because I am shattered and like I said don’t want to waste my life learning
thousands of pages of a bible I have no idea what the hell they are talking
about lol or spreading hatred or illusion to those that I come into contact
with.
I tend to view myself being nocturnal as being apart of the
dark side sometimes, when you don’t see any daylight it is easy to view oneself
as this, but my Buddhist nature has taught me that when I am the only one up
for miles and there are thousands of people asleep all around me, that I am
actually in a world of illusion, I am basking in sunlight.
I have strived to find my purpose in this life but nothing
really stands out except for my projects that I involve myself in and
philosophy, conspiracy, virtuosity and being a house husband so maybe I have
found my purpose however difficult it may be. I just wish sometimes I wasn’t so
conflicted like all last month I was going from being an admin assistant to a
counsellor, but these things would force me to live against my night time life,
when I feel most content.
Perhaps I belong two galaxies over lol
Finding ones purpose remains the most difficult task, for
those that have found theirs I highly commend you !!
