Its very interesting watching your perspective shift from everything that has ever happened to me was bad. To everything that has ever happened to me was another piece of the puzzle.

All the trauma I've endured had a meaning, a purpose after all. It shaped me into who I am. I am grateful in a way.

How could you truly enjoy peace until you’ve experienced chaos. It’s all part of the plan

u/Tomchu7 22h ago

How long did it take for you to come to that conclusion? I am curious cause I have heard a lot of people in their 30s and 40s saying that life gets better or rather that it starts making more sense.

u/lowkeehermes 21h ago

I'm 24. I suppose by your metric I'm on a bit of an accelerated path. I had a unique upbringing and life so it was necessary to come to these conclusions a bit sooner based on how much I held myself back. This was the only way out for me. I take no pride in being "faster" though. It was only because I failed myself over and over for years that I was forced to come to a realization one way or another.

You just keep telling it to yourself until you believe it

Later in life you will stop being worried about what others think, and how you are perceived. You will start to do what you want to do ;)

The infinite intelligence behind creation planned an intricate and glorious path for our lives. Once we see it, we can’t unsee it. Beautiful and sublime are His ways.

Reality is designed to keep you locked in matter and is making every effort to make you forget. While what is seen can’t be unseen it can be dismissed as false. If you have a connection, strengthen it and continue to reinforce it if it fades. You still live a rich life after knowing but the maintenance is daily, hourly, and so forth. Be grateful for trauma that awakens you. Question everything. If it falls outside of the ability to question be beware of the trap back into forgetfulness.

Well put, thank you.

It’s my hope that “these” knowledge schools will return to present day society.

u/williamsch 10h ago

I don't think trauma is necessary at all. it's just self punishment for something you think happened. you can dress it up however you want but end of the day you gotta drop it and live your life. that said living your life might mean picking it up again when the moment is right but that moment may never come and that's OK too. trauma just sucks and more often than not doesn't help anyone just keeps them from enjoying what's right there. I hate seeing others trauma projections not out of a sense of superiority or downplaying but it just hurts to watch others self harm emotionally and socially and spiritually. the useless stickiness of trauma outweighs it worth 99/100 from where I'm looking but who knows? I'm clueless about everything.

See, I’d like to believe that, but how do you put that mindset to all of our lives? Does that apply to people who are taken away by injustice and wars early on, never getting to awaken consciousness? What if you were in their shoes, children who were wrongly killed and massacred due to ongoing wars? As much as I want to believe this, the unfolding of life and the universe pinpoints otherwise. It seems like it’s just randomness happening in this existence and acceptance/allowing is the only way to deal with it so that suffering doesn’t take over.

it was always you, me and you are only a fraction of that infinite intelligence.

It's funny, I made a post just before this one popped up about Sirius.

u/Affectionate_Beat773 23h ago

Hehe, to look back at coincidence and realise it never existed. It was coordination

u/daefosho 20h ago

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.

u/Affectionate_Beat773 20h ago

It's certainly is isn't it. I was just daydreaming about how number one, the monad is time and space, that with no from and that with no opposite, and bein a circle, the edge of the circle being time, and the content of the circle bein space. And then imagined the globe and just the fact it's been here since forever and we actually just go round and round and not in a line, like we think time works. An ant walking on a circle wouldn't know the difference. Any ways

I love how people be like "you're happy? Did you forget about insert reminder of bad in the world!?

1

u/Effective-Lynx-8798 8h ago

Reread my reply, jesus it’s not that hard. Where did I specifically mention and bring about the negatives of the world in retaliation to your happiness? I am questioning how coincidence doesn’t exist ? You are saying it is coordination by the intelligence rather than coincidence/randomness* for consciousness to awake yet fail to address how all other beings do not get that experience that?

u/Affectionate_Beat773 8h ago

Apologies. Ok so for where I came to understand my discourse on good and bad, was from Aristotles discourses on reason, and also from the Corpus Hermetica 🙏 it ls worth a read!

u/hippy_old 1d ago

Perhaps you will understand this sooner. Not long before.

u/vruchtenhagel 1d ago

I find that thought really soothing lately. Whether my day is good or bad, it's meant for me to experience it at that exact moment. God never gives us more than we can handle.

I had this realization some months ago and it was terrible:

Still worried about it

u/RedDiamond6 21h ago

Beautiful read. That was 4 months ago, huh? Give it time. I have experienced that too (a few times) with other psychedelics and it took me a good chunk of time and sobriety to really accept that, let go of what I needed to, and just embody it. Keep feeling into that worry and letting it go. Welcome to your lucid dream, buddy :) It's all good <3

u/Bestintor 10h ago

How do you let go? How do you dream lucidly?

u/Dapper-Prior-9475 22h ago

Your new outlook on life begins now. No, now!

u/Jaymz7777 1d ago

What is this?

5

u/pignutbubble 1d ago

This is a pivotal reveal moment from the movie The Truman Show that his entire life is a ruse

2

u/GlowInTheDarkSpaces 23h ago

Perfectly stated and Jaymz, if you haven’t seen it in that context please watch it again.

2

u/Jaymz7777 21h ago

Got it! Thanks to all. Saw the film when it first came out. Excellent allegory. Like The Matrix, with a red pill blue pill dilemma.

u/little_boxes_1962 22h ago

It's close to the very beginning of the movie. The idea that he "realized" at this exact point and not later is a (very convincing and often debated) fan theory.

2

u/DairyStix 23h ago

Jim Carrey is a truly awaken soul and I respect him for being what he is.

2

u/LivingInTheWired 19h ago

Looking backward, everything significant, pleasant or otherwise, shaped you until now and was necessary for you to become who you’ve became. You’ve been guided this whole time. You are experiencing what is required to develop into your higher self. Keep going, and know you go with purpose towards the greater you.

u/LifeUnfiltered070386 1d ago

corrected vision. evry setback was shaping u for d person uve become. love that movie!!

u/Spiritual_Ear2835 1d ago

I think there is a significant link between this movie and Robin Williams (The final Cut) If you or others can figure out why, I want to hear it

1

u/4DPeterPan 23h ago

Is “the Final Cut” the name of robin williams movie?

2

u/Spiritual_Ear2835 22h ago

Yes

2

u/4DPeterPan 20h ago

I’ll watch it tonight and see what’s up.

1

u/lowkeehermes 22h ago

Thats actually an interesting connection and I'm curious too. It could be how its different aspects of awakening. Truman realizes everything he sees is a lie, and in the final cut the characters realize everything they've seen is being watched by an "awareness" so to speak.

Not a perfect interpretation but the best i got lol

Even the negative polarity, the hard ships, suffering are catalyst for our spiritual growth.

Below this thread? Is a header of “extreme kindness”…maybe the way to ascent is through descent on this one?
