searching for meaning
    #14375643 - 04/30/11 12:41 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

beyond words and drugs and materials and socialization
what drives you?

at times I feel I live a hollow existence, devoid of mystery and awe... like all I do is consume. I'm drifting... I don't know what I should be searching for...

can anyone point me in the right direction

Well you're already searching for understanding. And understanding comes from awareness, which I think is the most important aim possible. The more you are aware of this universe the more aspects of it you can integrate yourself into. Coupled with general consciousness expansion, there is no greater goal. Everything else is just a contributor to these processes anyway. But the more aware you become of the process the easier/faster it becomes.

This, mind expansion and love.    I heard this from a radiohead song, i think it's a good quote - "Don't blow your mind with why."

There is no meaning.

But there's also no such thing as nothing.

So I guess everything just is, man.  :jah:

You are everything, one with the Universe, etc.

When I was hell-bent on discovery of life's meaning I guess what drove me was a desperate need to understand my place in the universe.  A spiritual element was planted in me from a very early age as a result of having been raised Catholic but as I grew older the Church's explanation for existence failed to satisfy my intellectual self.  At the same time my life seemed bereft of happiness and wrought with tragedy.  I felt as though I needed fucking answers; that understanding (or enlightenment) was my only hope for salvation.  And so I began my spiritual journey.

Now that I am much older I tend to agree with Radiohead that "why" is a question that can not be answered.  I've stopped asking.  True understanding is something that can only be known superficially.  The scientific exploration of space has revealed nothing but more and more mystery.  No two religions can agree on anything and end up splintering into smaller and smaller groups.  Understanding is as elusive now as it ever was.

This is not to say that a spiritual journey is utterly fruitless.  Through examining the world and trying to come to grips with the Void you can learn a great deal about yourself and people and all of that.  However complete understanding or enlightenment I believe to be myths.

I just really don't want to waste my time on this planet. I tripped on shrooms last night, not too hard but enough to realize I've been wasting too much of my time preoccupied with material things like fitting in socially or working my ass off to earn money to buy things, and I feel a higher calling. I need to center myself and find more rewarding goals. I used to have this beautiful glowing feeling when I was younger, this premonition that my future would hold some deep meaning, that the world was my oyster and there were infinite possibilities for me, and lately when I've tripped something is telling me I've lost my way and become embroiled in this material routine of society, city life. It's utterly disgusting to me and if I already feel like I'm losing myself on this path and I need to make a big change in the way I live and in how I perceive myself and the world.

I think I know that glowing feeling of which you speak.  Do you feel apathetic now, or stoic or hmm detached.

That was how I felt before I really started looking for answers.  Alienated, unemotional...

For me recently I have found God, I have asked for signs and have instantly recieved answers. Not that I have to justify myself anyway for my believings.
Through the light of God I know my path, and it's a truly spiritual one. I'm no saint, but I know my sins will be forgiven as they are all light.

I no longer need material things to make me happy, and I know longer dwell on diagnosis. It's been truly uplifting!

Find your spiritual center, be it God, or something else! All will be clear to you my friend!
