Purposeful Life
Sometimes I feel I'm walking a waking dream, when the sun will rise and the cock will crow but it remains an imprint of the mind. The place I go, the ground that I walk, the people I meet and things I see are non-existing physical realities that the mind perceives as reality. I feel like I am in a virtual world where things suddenly appear and disappear without a certain reason. Everything ticks differently and doesn't coincide with time. Time flows in alternate realities and some parts of this world trickles slow while some parts of this world has overlapping time leaps a few moments at a time. Reality I see here is not real, and the more I try to convince myself that it is, the more I think it isn't. It is just a dream and an illusion.
Perhaps it's caused by the lives of people here. We are here for one purpose and the purpose is to fulfill our dreams (dreams which may not be ours and merely an idealization). And until we have fulfilled our dreams, other things, creating a family, having more friends and indulging in our self pleasures come last in the list. This is the driving force for every man, mule or ant here. Even the birds in the sky don't waste their time looking out for food on the beach and taking every opportunity there is to feed. Why are people so thirsty? Why are they always looking for things that they already have? The drive that keeps us to one goal makes one empty of everything and divinity could not exist. One looses feelings, love and kindness. This is the fundamental essence that this world comes from. And without love and kindness, there wouldn't be creativity, no music, no art, no poetry and no writing that comes from the heart of man. All that exists are empty words and empty lines that fill numerous pages but are as good as empty cases (but applauded by superficial audiences who are awed by its wordiness and tact) . We seek what we seek not because it is an ideal dream of most people and is a customary dream we should all seek. We seek what we seek because we love it and we want to spend our time doing it and getting the best of it. This I believe, not many people understand. And until then, America will always remain as an ideal place. A place where ideal dreams live. But beneath the texture of the society and the world, little exists but a hollow and lonely grave. This is the reality I perceive. All problems, social, economic and political comes from this. And whenever there is no kindness, love and real feelings from the heart, this place suffers and suffocates. A place which is based on sole materialism and self importance and selfishness can only last for as long as their driven self energy remains. And once that energy diminishes, there is no more to fill a person with joy and happiness except for love and grace that is felt from the heart.
I quote: ....Only the Heart of Christ who knows the depths of his Father's love could reveal to us the abyss of his mercy in so simple and beautiful a way ----From the Catechism. P:1439.
I believe that we can all try to find the love of god with in us. Religion should come from within not from outside. Radiate what you truly feel and truly want to do, and that is true love from god. Religion and spirituality although good can be experienced the wrong way. True religion and spirituality cultivates inner love and love for all. And this is truly an embodiment of the eternal and immaculate teacher. The Jews never call their god by his name. They believe he is far too sacred and profound to be called by a simple name. Names are superficial and that they understand. The world is also superficial too in this sense, names, positions and titles. So what if you are a CEO of a company or a doctor. Do you have what it takes to fill your life with purpose and lead a love-driven life? Have all who have seen you felt comfortable and secure and loved? Or have you been wasting your time with a driven self energy and self centered self that would soon burn out. The world is superficial and empty. Nothing is real except for immaculate love and until that is found, you will be searching for something that has never existed and you would never be able to find it.
