Remaining grounded, in tune with the world..whilst disliking certain things in the world.

Recommended Posts

Ok this is purely for my own exploration, at the same time it might be nice to see what anyone else thinks or if anyone else gets something out of this that is cool.

 

Was just noticing things that make me feel less rooted, grounded, belonging so to speak and want to shed light on them through contemplation and writing.

 

So one has the belief that they dislike the world. Well that is purely a belief s there are probably equally just as many things that they like about the world, ones house, technology, food, safety etc. The belief that one dislikes the way the world is run only comes about as a skewed paradigm when one feels fed up with a situation. Or dislikes the way the world is compared to the way they believe it could be or might be in the future. One may think the world should be a certain way, but how do they know that would create immediate or long lasting greatness. Perhaps things would quickly return back to normal under the same consciousness or its some peoples path in life to live a certain way or not due to karma etc. Perhaps everything evolves at its own natural pace, and keeping ideas of a future world in mind might be relevant occasionally but is perhaps not so wise to always dwell in imaginary scenarios of what could be.

 

Perhaps one creates their version of the world through their thinking and beliefs and someone else creates another version. Ones ideas of why they think something can be improved may be false.

 

 

 

Ok to be continued had to stop for a moment.

So some people in the world, many people in the world have different interests and across many cultures and time periods, many people respond to things more of their vibration, their was socialism, capitalism, etc, someone could feel like their ideals are met in one culture and not in another doesnt mean they belong to earth less.

Be in the World


but not of it.




Play the game


but realize


its a game.




Our thoughts and beliefs


don't create the world;


they interpret it,


creating filters and blind spots.

In buddhist practice, the encouragement is one only: whatever the state one finds oneself, stay with it, and watch (sounds simple, but takes practice, lots) how 'it' gets replaced with other thoughts, over time. Usually, states which create emotional reactions and resultant physical reactions tend to linger a bit longer than others, hence these are more prone to cause greater disturbances, but however it is, if and when one fully grasps the fundamental nature of mind, the jail-keeper becomes forever redundant, and will retire from his or her job.
