Your meaning is universal

71.  Past

Reason for this writing

Your meaning is universal  

People are looking for meaning and the reason for suffering.  If what
you have found has meaning to you, it might have meaning for others.  It
might be universal.

well, my search for meaning ended many years ago in my late thirties. now its growth and understanding and awareness, a kind of unfolding. in a sense that's a search too, but if I died tomorrow I would have found what I was looking for. still, there is a filling out and a kind of evolvement.



the work i'm doing here is a work that gives form to what I found. a vision of what this would look like if completed would be presumptuous of me to say at this point. I could look like a fool if I said I expect this to happen and it doesn't. don't want that pressure. while I hope for completion of a vision of sorts, I also look for signals to see if I am off in some way. I have to persist to find out. if the vision does manifest itself that is almost a miracle.



my technique is basically counterpunching. anything man takes for granted, history, institutions, academics, religions, any arrogance in these I attempt to dismantle. What's left is the truth, or as close to it as possible on this earth. I build trust with my insights. this is my process give or take. as I wrote, 65 years is enough time to know what should be known. and now is time to do something before its too late to do something. this is somewhat abstract, but answers you on one level.

I understand where you are coming from......over time so many blockades of pure truth and reasoning were imposed by those in authority. They have left us confused because personal instinct clashed with their interpretations of truth. Because they stumbled into a leadership or authoritative position we let it become natural to follow them blindly....it was easier than challenging. For example in today's society many follow doctor orders instead of listening to what their bodies are saying.

We will have to wait.

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Tom

hey tom....good exchange here....well put especially example of health care and how we're influenced not to trust our own body wisdom. a lot of suffering has come from this.

also wanted to mention how our elected representatives have carved out the best parts of America and created an artificial economy. lately some evidence of bringing manufacturing back home. again we and I mean we let them do it because it is easier to follow than to challenge.
