boredom? question(how to get more involved?)

[AiR1k]

i hope the following statement does not offend anyone-
i'm getting bored
i'm willing- and i am ready...
my question is-
how do we get involved with things relating towards spirituality?
i want to embrace myself in a metaphysical surrounding- experience more and more of this, "astral-state"
i am bored and want to get further involved- past a physical sense.
i want to know- the reason why i say: "i hope i don't come off as selfish"
is because i want to become a part of the infinite of truth and understanding- and the more i get a, "taste" the more i want.
i'm, "ready"-
i feel if i have the intent of being ready- then perhaps i can use this willingness within me as a tool to help guide me for whatever it is coming this way.
maybe i'm just being an, "eager beaver?" :rolleyes:

:p ---
there's just so much that i want to experience with regards towards spirituality- right now i feel that i did not justify this thread with the correct wording used to express what it is i am thinking---but my mind is kind of clouded with mixed emotions ranging from confusion towards intuition that something - soon- is just around the corner...
i just wanted to get that off my chest- :d hehe
~~~love eric~ :d

hi eric,

here are my thoughts, we sometimes get overwhelmed by the ego which does not comunicate well with the now, the present moment, it is always looking for more, for the future. spirituality is so energetically charged that it is easy for the ego to fall into the rabbit hole so to speak of never ending possibilities. just remember that all this stuff we are wraping around our heads is our souls bold attempt to jolt us into the submissive state of total acceptance of the present moment. this looks like the end of the world in the eyes of the ego and that is why it will do anything to keep your busy mind away from the now. my advice is follow your path because the now could be just around the corner. relax, embrace joy, look at the big picture, follow your compassionate heart:) .................................sylvain.......... ...................

hey sylvain,
thanks for your wonderful, supportive advice.
there were two things you said that raised for some questioning as far as better understanding where it is you are coming from--->

"just remember that all this stuff we are wraping around our heads is our souls bold attempt to jolt us into the submissive state of total acceptance of the present moment."
---are you saying that a part of becoming more consciously aware, is in turn the act of embracing the now? accepting the present for what it is-
is this to help us cope with what might be to come? just a thought.

"my advice is follow your path because the now could be just around the corner. relax, embrace joy, look at the big picture, follow your compassionate heart"

when you first said this- i was about to post: "well how would we know what that path is?"
however- i read over your sentence again... and it made me think-
maybe the act of following our own heart is our path.
you said to follow your compassionate heart--- well to each his own right?
we all come to see this, "truth" through different perspectives- so when i re-read your post i thought that this path- is basically better defined as going with what best suits who you are as an individual- the act of following your heart.

thanks again for your post- :)
love

greetings to you,
i remember when i was going through the stages you are going through now.
the important thing is that you are aware that there is more to life than what you have experienced up to now. thats a good thing.
find a quiet time and a place to try some meditation. just relax, let the mind become quiet. focus on your breathing (through the nose) and just be for a while.
don't expect anything,don't analyze,don't judge, just be.
now before you do this just ask within yourself for help. call on the creator if you like. just ask for help and understanding.
you may find as i did that nothing seemed to happen during the meditation. don't worry about that. the help will come if that is what you desire.
continue with your quiet meditative periods. they can be as long or short as you like. don't put limits on yourself.
you will get answers, sometimes from unexpected sources.maybe straight away, maybe over days. it doesn't matter. the answers will come if you are consistent with your calls for help and meditative periods.
i hope this helps.

peace and love to you

yusuf

hey!

the only thing that is real is the now, i.e pure prescence. what you are looking for in the future is already here, now. prescence works through the law of vaccum, as soon as you are "empty" (i.e. prescence/conscious) you will be "full"

for recommended reading on this subject, please pm me.

peace to all,
love to all,
joy to all

yes you got it, we are the now, and the earth is approaching the now. when she awakens, those that are comfortable with the present moment will add to the momentum and help ease humanity's transition. the idea is to radiate awakening as much as possible before the shift in order to crystalize humanity's intentions, and make them loud and clear;) ...........................sylvain................ .................
