The Peculiarity of Life.

1 post in this topic

You are thrust into a world, no clue where or what is going on. You have to fight and claw your way to figure out what exactly is going on. You learn from personal experience, you learn from advice of others, but even with all this you still feel lost. Dealing with the maelstrom of your thoughts and emotions is like being on a rickety boat that is stuck in a tsunami. You fight and fight and every time you think you made a little head way, grasp a little control you get thrown around. 

After a certain point, the fight is gone. You surrender. You give up. You cry woe is me. Then something shows up, a peculiarity. A crack, an error, a glitch, something shows up beyond your normal perceptions that shouldn't be there. You notice a wrinkle, but you assume oh its just my imagination (the irony of this thought) and you keep trudging along. Some how that oddity inspires you to keep moving. Its like well if something just showed up that doesn't make sense, well maybe sense making is all illusion and I have never really understood anything at all.

Now you have made some sense, you do have some understanding, but its just incomplete. With incomplete understanding comes ignorance and with ignorance comes fear, and if that fear is excessive comes anxiety which is just perpetual fear thoughts and emotions that continually spring forth. With complete understanding all that disappears which is why it is said fear is illusion. Caution and Fear are different. Caution makes you avoid danger, Fear predicts things that COULD be dangerous and it puts your imagination to the task to present the myraid of ways your life could go sideways. 

You have been conditioned to operate this way so even if you were to realize the folly it still feels comfortable, normal, safe. Notice this...it feels comfortable and safe to be fearful. You cannot force someone who has comfort in their self-torment to follow you to the exit. They must suffer so much that they free themselves. You can encourage, you can motivate, you can inspire, but they themselves must find the strength that was always there to take the necessary action. 

But this bothers you because you believe it needs to be some other way, that there is something to fix. What you don't realize is that as long as you believe there are problems, the problems will never end. When you solve one problem, you create a new problem. You create a car, to make travel easier, so you solved traveling distances being a problem but you created traffic. You create entertainment to make you feel good, thus if you don't have any entertainment or if it no longer produces good feelings you feel bad. So you seek inner peace, you say that will solve my unhappiness. So you reach inner peace, and now you are all alone because the peaceful man/woman does not have company in a world at war. So now you are alone. But you seek friends, you don't want to be alone, yes you have peace but your desire to connect with others who are unpeaceful is making you unpeaceful. 

You see a problem is a duality, and as long as you see problems, you will never be problem free. As long as you see problems there is always something to fix. Don't worry this itself is not a problem, even though you who are conditioned to see problems would see constantly seeing problems as a problem. This is actually great because eventually you will tire out and GIVE UP!!! And when you do....you will finally release yourself from all your struggles to fix things and change things...and will finally just BE!!!

You are here to BE, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less. 


The same strength, the same level of desire it takes to change your life, is the same strength, the same level of desire it takes to end your life. Notice you are headed towards one or the other. - Razard86

Your ACTIONS REVEAL how you REALLY FEEL. Want TRUTH? Observe and ADMIT, do the OPPOSITE of what you usually do which is observe and DENY. - Razard86

Think about it.....Leo gave the best definition of the truth I ever heard...."The truth is what is..." so if that is the truth.... YOUR ACTIONS IN THE PRESENT ARE THE TRUTH!! It's what's happening....do you like what you see? Can you accept it? You are just a SENTIENT MIRROR, OBSERVING ITS REFLECTION..... can you accept what appears? -Razard86
