Am I taking all of this for granted...

[mattimus]

Am I taking all of this for granted..
Failing to remember the blessings that surround me...
Have I manifested all of this for the real me or accidentally before I realized who I really was.

Do I trick myself into wanting all of it, none of it is real, I am just playing in this world of refractions thats fallen to a state where one is just by outer wealth and image, often empty inside. Why do I keep coming back to it, playing their games. Am I stuck here??

Why not just dissapear into a new game, Do I fear missing the old games so much that I will end up going back ultimately?
Do I fear this realization that all will return or is it a blessing that I can start over and all will return to a state of perfection?
Is it inevitable that we will return to our previous games just as it is inevitable we return to this level from the transcended state.
Am I free to control this or stuck in a loop within a loop within a loop.

If I can always manifest my inner desires and visions why do I choose to do it here and not just leave it all behind.
This place that worships paper as a means for value. Capitalizing on the ability to provide access to knowledge for another piece of paper to prove to another that you can provide value for them and get them more paper. What can I get out of you? What are you worth to me?

Why am I still doing it... Am I already to far invested to start? Not relevant, time is an illusion, whatever I want is mine.
Yet I'm still here, playing their games. Playing this game of physical existence. Chasing desires, tricking myself into providing meaning for it all.
Or have I been positively manifesting this the entire time. Forgetting and losing touch with and older self....

I open my eyes and the clouds that coated the sky open to let the sun beam through my window directly onto me in my chair.
Remember all of the teachings...
How much you have been shown...
The path is that which you choose...
Meaning comes from within...
Find it lying deepest inside...
All is Perfect, Here or There!

I embrace this state of perfection that we all exist in and smile from my entire being.
I guess its up to me to figure out what I want, embrace what surrounds me, its all a blessing and I won't take it for granted any more.

Consider this: maybe it's not about what you can get out of this - but what this world can get out of you. Perhaps you are a missionary for the love and light of the divine and you are here to infuse an otherwise inert and dead reality with the divine spirit, with spirit, with life. Without you, without us, this world would be just dead matter bouncing off each other. pointless. it is we who give meaning to this, we who give life to everything. We are put here into a world that seems painfully rigid and dead, but we are helping it become... something.

just a thought

Very nice input mattimus, thanks for the words of encouragement to keep on going, not twist life into a meaningless nothing, but find what that hidden thing is, and embrace it..

Generally people tend to take things for granded until something shakes them. This hasnt got to do only with dmt : take at look at life and imagine being born and slowly but steadily getting accustomed to the ways of "this life", "this planet", "this biological entity you define as YOU". Well , if thats not quite of a big bite to swallow i wonder what is...Still, you do not wake up every day with your jaw dropping to the floor at the mere thought of "i am alive" or "i exist": even this we got accustomed to!

I do not consider the dmt state "transcended" in the meaning most people might give (read :eastern philosophy style, "above games" etc), i consider it different, if it had such an innate quality then we would propably be speaking about a telonomic universe as if one is in an adventure game where one must "figure things out to move to the next chapter/scene". I view it more as an "opensource exist n' play" situation.

Its inevitable that if one is to be part of the society then one has to play along at least publicly following some "rudimentary" rules. The golden ration is to be found between what one wants and what one "must" (i use must loosely here) follow to be part of this society.

"Meaning" is something WE infuse into things because we think in terms of teleonomy. Make what you wish of it.
