Humanity

[morningstar]

Okay... somebody beam me up.... right now.

Maybe it's true that I don't get out much....I went into the city tonight. Wow. What a culture shock for me. The person I was with seemed to think that there was something wrong with me for feeling uneasy in an environment that is not fit for any "beast" to live in. I found the downtown not "interesting" as some do...I found it extremely sad. The majority of the human race that were there seemed sooooo LOST!
I DID NOT FIT IN AT ALL. And I was told to "loosen up". I wasn't doing anything unusual ... I was simply sitting quietly with my drink...but I obviously did not fit in with the "crowd".

I watched people walking by the outdoor bar I sat in... some looked vacant...others angry....others still looked like they just had lost all feeling completely. There were young women who were obviously addicts...men who begged for change...and some who had gone beyond all hope.... the one I was with seemed to find this all very "entertaining". What is entertaining about the most depressing aspects of out race of being? I'm sorry if I fail to be amused by such things. They sadden me...they do not provide me with entertainment.

Seeing the state of that aspect of our society on this tiny planet makes me lose hope in humanity. I know this is not the "whole", yet it is a large aspect of it. May "God" help us all if this is what we are en mass.

I was told I needed to "get out of my garden" more often. I was the "freak" tonight. Not the crazed and drunken people, not the crack addicts...me...the one who doesn't subscribe to the world's B.S. .... I'm the outcast here.

I'm sorry for the personal babble....but I am very sad at the state of what I see so much around me every day - and I'm tired of being the one who is belittled.

There is a biblical saying...something like..."be in this world but not of it"... something like that....I guess that isn't the most popular way of life.

What is "the way"? I believe I've found it. Not in a judgemental way...but in a way that is intrinsic to who we all are.... I FEEL for those who are lost, I do not laugh at them...I want for a better humanity than that which IS at present...I long for a universal enilightenment. Is that weird? Is that so wrong?

Does anyone else here ever feel as if they are on the wrong planet? I know how crazy that sounds...I'm just curious..,does anyone else long to be "beamed up"?

For the record, I'm not a "prude"...I'm a person who likes to have fun... who can laugh and enjoy life with a great deal of passion for all that is given to us....but I cannot find amusement in the darkest aspects of our species, I know that we must embrace the balance between light and dark, yin and yang....etc. but I just can't find humour in the darkness.... maybe I am too "one sided" as some think. Do we indeed need to embrace the dark side as well? I did that once and I found it wasn't to my liking.... so ... am I wrong in myself?

Why do I question? That is what needs an answer, I suppose.

The world is better now...it was worst before. Everything is cyclical. Change comes slowly through the trials of fire however the Phoenix will rise through spirit. Everything evolves as evidenced by nature.

There is a biblical saying...something like..."be in this world but not of it"... something like that....I guess that isn't the most popular way of life.

This means that all humanity is connected via the subconscious or better cosmic consciousness. The conscious mind filters and sees what is desired. We are in this world but our origin is not.

What is "the way"? I believe I've found it. Not in a judgmental way...but in a way that is intrinsic to who we all are.... I FEEL for those who are lost, I do not laugh at them...I want for a better humanity than that which IS at present...I long for a universal enlightenment. Is that weird? Is that so wrong?

It isn't wrong, you are becoming more and more empathic which is natural and beautiful. You've been away from the proverbial rat race and thus you are clean and sober. The way? Pay it forward...give a little gift where you can. Just love that's all.

For the record, I'm not a "prude"...I'm a person who likes to have fun... who can laugh and enjoy life with a great deal of passion for all that is given to us....but I cannot find amusement in the darkest aspects of our species, I know that we must embrace the balance between light and dark, yin and yang....etc. but I just can't find humour in the darkness.... maybe I am too "one sided" as some think.

There is no growth without struggle...just like a seed breaking open and pushing up through the soil to reach out to the golden sun rays. Out of the darkness came the light, the polarity is the dynamic of all that is manifest here.

I do feel like you even though I am mired in it all. All is as it should be. How could it be any other way? It is however up to us...right?

The majority are.

Humanity is you. These that you speak of are searching for theirs. The one you were with does not even realize that his is gone.

There is a biblical saying...something like..."be in this world but not of it"... something like that....I guess that isn't the most popular way of life.

True.

What is "the way"? I believe I've found it. Not in a judgemental way...but in a way that is intrinsic to who we all are.... I FEEL for those who are lost, I do not laugh at them...I want for a better humanity than that which IS at present...I long for a universal enilightenment. Is that weird? Is that so wrong?

Wierd? Probably, because wierd is a matter of perspective, and your view is different. Wrong? Absolutely not. Be rooted in your way.

Does anyone else here ever feel as if they are on the wrong planet?

Used to. Now, I think I know why I am here. Like you said on another post, I searched a long time to find what was already here. There is another bible verse..."Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteous sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

If you are not feeling persecuted, you are not standing for what you feel is righteous. If you are, then the Kingdom of Heaven is yours. Welcome, come on in. It is here, it is now, it has always been. This is what is meant by living in the world and not being of the world.

Do we indeed need to embrace the dark side as well? I did that once and I found it wasn't to my liking.... so ... am I wrong in myself?

No, you just need to know where it lives. It is the wierdness that you should embrace, because it is what others seek. You are belittled because they seek to bring you to their level when they cannot or will not climb to yours.

Why do I question? That is what needs an answer, I suppose.

My father in law once told me..."I know all the answers. I wish I could figure out the questions."

The Truth that you seek, that you have finally realized you always knew, remains constant. Your questions reflect your maturity and reveal your wisdom with regards to the constant.

You have reached the top of the mountain. You can now see other, higher peaks that were not visible before, but for the moment, you have completed a long and difficult climb. Enjoy it, and catch your breath...

Thank you both for your posts.

I cannot tell you how much they've helped me.

I am thinking on what has been said here.

Thank you.
