I also speak of navigation, and how we need to navigate this awakening. It’s not as though I don’t clean the house or brush my teeth anymore…but I don’t apparently “accomplish” anything for long stretches of time. As you say we go on, interact, move and feel.
Coach Corey Wayne Recommended for you. I feel like now i can keep going.
Can you imagine expressing your ever-evolving true nature moment by moment, not merely acting out the tired empty pantomime of the persona? But he “just felt like it”. It gave me tremendous anxiety as a child, and I always wondered why it occurred. And now it’s 2019…and lm still here still asking…l have no interest in doing the dishes..playing with my dog..chopping wood… I know lm not depressed….
So what? Even though I can’t find a point or purpose to any of it, I am still fully engaged in doing all these things. I split some firewood, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. 3 May 2020.
Did I really just… Read more, So many of the effects of sudden spiritual enlightenment are similar to those of the mentally ill. What if you are just insane? This is particularly difficult when dealing with other people – people who themselves are trapped within their conditioning.
The sun comes up, I water my garden, my cat needs to be fed. And fortunately, when it comes to chronic illness, rather than pain as constant incursion on living, there are pain killers. It never once occurred to me (possibly because of my thiestic upbringing) that life, the universe, whatever, doesn’t NEED purpose. How do I stay motivated to still wanting and achieving more in life? For so many it’s difficult/impossible to resist this conditioning for fear of isolation. The crushing weight of the void returns. No? When the belief in the personality-self dissolves and we uncover the inherent emptiness within all things, this can cause serious disorientation, a kind of vertigo.
I love your material. Today I asked my friend: why do people need to school? Just being. But now, even though I am more successful than i have ever been, and far away from the poverty i grew up in, i still have bo wants or desires. I’ve been in a similar place to where you are now and it is not easy.
I loved your post. Yahoo is part of Verizon Media.
It’s so good to read this. And then one bit of detail: it was windy.
When I was first awakened, I had lots and lots of responsibilities, and dealt with those until they were resolved and I engaged in no new or further commitments. "We’ve gotten into the habit of always wanting what’s next. What if there is a point or purpose, but you just can’t grasp what it is at this time?
Once there’s the realisation of the emptiness of existence it becomes difficult to put the energy into what’s needed to be done. Pointlessness is a good description of what I felt. The mind loves thought loops. I have few responsibilities. I’m also trying to find the motivation to start at university this year. I’ve experienced a profound lack of motivation, and it still seems to arise and subside.
Got Purpose? Briefly, i was living my life for others. Thanks to this I’m about to pack a few things in a bag and go for a totally pointless walk on the beach. I listen to Jordan Peterson talk of Responsibility as the key to a satisfying life. I don’t know where to turn and feel a deep despair waiting for me. It’s not that one needs to search for the next thing to do but the next thing imposes itself on/as existence. Share.
And then something changes and my focus is called into some external in-the-world adventure or endeavor. No longer being caught in the pinball machine of action/reaction to every sense datum and mind loop is an odd feeling. It feels like dementia, but it’s not. Having certain anchors, like the aforementioned horizon, are not mere trifles.
But once you are a finder, the whole universe shifts, and instead of using the skills and acquisitive reflex you employed as a seeker, you have to use a whole new approach and skill set, which is all about integration, expansion and stability. Most of the time entire fabrications and imaginary edifices are being built; they rarely have much to do with what is happening, but they have a lot to do with the incessant story-building activity of the persona.
I’m worried I can’t be that way anymore about a carear even if I love it. Life clearly has a point: Further perpetuate Life. It was an eye-opener to read how you describe the act of moving through the day without a sense of purpose. I understand the biological need to perpetuate the species, but is that all there really is? In seeing the emptiness of existence there is seeing, sensing what is in which every nuance of existence is understanding of the others’ and oneself state of being for the other, at their root is the same as oneself. I thought it was pointless when I was 10. Do you have a website or blog I can follow. Seeing that cycle is where most ideas of pointlessness come from. A good part of the whole post-awakening life is finding new ways to understand an unfamiliar or vastly changed terrain and learn once again to navigate. But it’s just a phase, so long as you don’t get trapped in it. thug life # thug life. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Enjoying and experiencing all!
In a matter of hours i was a formless mess on the floor thinking only of how to escape the crushing empty void that my life had very suddenly become.
After my divorce I found I had to reinvent myself. Moving to another social environment may bring about further conditioning and a different treadmill. And you may have tremendous resonance and compassion for the outliers in all their forms… right up to the weird guy outside the corner store who talks to the pigeons. Does anyone have any insights?
If someone else told me they felt pointless, I am sure I would easily show how valuable they are and worthwhile, their struggle. Let’s say I’m being crushed by Pointlessness.
Our body-mind is product of that. A signal goes off that says, “PANIC!” Alarms ring.
Yes I know exactly what you mean about filling in the blanks… it is the mind’s relentless activity that fills in blanks.
