Got Hit By A Car ( questioning my path)

[cetus]

@Shakazulu Since you're into music I sent you a message in a song. I found it, or maybe better to say, it found me when life taught me a sudden lesson in disillusionment. Give it a listen.

[Shakazulu]

@cetus I listened to it, thank you!
I actually appreciate a wide variety of music across different eras. I like the  80s, 90s & 2000 pop/rock era. So many different versions of rock, I appreciate soft rock too lol.

Based on the energy i read, the wake up call is to slow down, get grounded, keep it simple.

Every time I have been doing too much, or too spiritually focused and ungrounded i end up hurting myself and sometimes the injury is a big one if i am not paying attentions to the cues from the universe.

My friend almost died because she was being far too ethereal and spiritual and not acknowledging the physical world nor her physical body where cars and danger exist.

@Shakazulu Thought the lyrics were very appropriate for your situation. "Thank you, disillusionment". "The moment I stepped off it was the moment that I touched down"

I always played rock guitar, but I've been delving more into drone and ambient sound scapes for a while now. Been experimenting with a MIDI keyboard controller also.

This struggle is all building toward a big win: music success, women, money, influence, etc.”

"How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots" "How 'bout that ever illusive kudo" "Thank you disillusionment" "Thank you clarity"

@Ramasta9

Yeah, that resonates a lot. I was definitely too in my head and spiritually hyped, not grounded enough in simple physical reality. I’m taking this as a cue to slow down, simplify, and actually be present in my body and the world.

@cetus

Yeah, those lyrics hit different right now – ‘thank you, disillusionment’ feels exactly like where I’m headed. This whole accident is forcing me to step off the fantasy and actually touch down in my real life. Humble, but more real.

oh okay so you produce too? 

[Malkom]

You can take a philosophical approach to this—these events are like a mini-ego death. Reality shows you exactly what It Is.

Dude, I spent time in prison, and that's where you really learn who and what you are, not just in words, but in actions. Everything you think you're cool is mostly just your imagination, but if you're strong-willed, you truly relate to things more authentically, looking reality in the face. That's also a mini-ego death ahahaha.

@cetus

Yeah, those dangling carrots have been running a lot of my story. This whole thing is kind of forcing me to drop the ‘big win’ fantasy and actually see clearly what’s here now. Painful, but I can feel the clarity underneath it.

 

[Shakazulu]

@Malkom

Yeah, it definitely feels like a mini ego death. It’s the life we live in North America. Everything we do is for something! I realized I wasn’t in an illusion about my relationship with others and the world. My life is about me but the world is not about me. It’s about others and providing value to others too

This event can also be viewed as a real-life bad trip, albeit at its most basic. While everything happens multidimensionally in a psychedelic trip, it's as if your aspirations, your beliefs, your stereotypes, your fears are revealed. You think of something, and the event rapidly unfolds in different directions, revealing their meaninglessness in such true and sweeping manifestations that no amount of imagination can suffice. Absolutely everything is destroyed. Even love. All your thoughts, your entire Self. And the Ego resists. Then, NOTHING remains.

You kind of Exist and NO Exist!
But ego death doesn't mean anything; it's simply the experience of ego death. Afterward comes the experience of Awakening, without fantasy, Pure Innocence, Absolute Openness... And that Reality, the meaning within it, is always immortal and eternal—it's Infinite Beauty in all its manifestations. And what Awakening is, usually only YOU yourself will know. Absolutely NO ONE else will tell you what it is, NO ONE AT ALL. Not the Teacher, not anyone else. And you yourself won't be able to convey WHAT it is, and I can't—these are just interpretations for common ground. Moreover, a kind of inner compass or nonsense detector appears, already looking at the real world.

Have a nice day.

@Shakazulu In a way, you've been hit with much more than just the car. Ironic, isn't it?
