I do think that ideally we should try to take every hardship, every difficulty, every pain, and turn it into something that makes us more aware, stronger, like phoenix rising from the fire. Of course its easier said than done but I try to incorporate that in my life as much as I can.
One suggestion, instead of saying "you" and "your" in your paragraph (and in the future), dont you think it would be better to say "I" and "mine" ? I think its better to avoid speaking in a way that projects our experiences onto others. And then it gives a bigger opening for others to relate to things but at the same time to voice their disagreement if they do, and in this way its a humbler way of communicatng.
Nonetheless, I think a lot of what you said makes sense and I would relate to it. Except that for me it still doesnt matter whatever belief or idea I have regarding the future. I think that its related to personal development, and the more you connect things and develop yourself, it snowballs around you.
What I dont necessarily agree with though is this sentence about 'someone that knows more and hides'.. It sounds very conspiracy-theory-like to me. I think a lot of people conspire daily, but I dont think its like one united group that conspires because if someone is conspiring to control, it shows they havent developed themselves enough to 'feel' the consequences of their actions, hence I doubt they can be working as a coherent united collective. They probably have angry wives and annoying kids and troubles keeping their emotions in, being greedy trying to increase their profits, trying to compensate for their low self esteem by buying bigger things, having painful teeth and other problems, trouble eating well and must be conspiring in smaller groups against each other and and and... At least thats how I see it
If there is a coherent movement, then I feel it has to be one constructed by those who are becoming more aware (hint hint: nexus
)
As for all those things you do differently, again I feel the same way somehow, except again this isnt related to having expectations about the future but just an ever-stronger desire to be more balanced and aware. Maybe its just a natural consequence of self development, to grow this extra 'shine' in life? Just one thing I want to add, while I know you said there is always more to know, I just want to reinforce a teaching I had several times with entheogens: No matter how much I think I know and got things figured out, Im still a spiritual child, so gotta be humble and know that there is still a long path of self-development in front of me. Hence why I really dont like to divide things into "those who are aware" and "those who arent", because it will just create unnecessary division, "holier-than-thou" feelings, and is imo ironically a sign of lack of awareness. All I can look at is myself and know that I am still not perfect and hence can work a bit more every day towards that, hopefully helping others on the way.
