Hey there!
It’s getting late today, but well, I didn’t have a clear topic, and I spent the earlier part of the day working on Ode to 9, so I thought I’d give myself a break. Anyway!
I’ve finally thought about what I’m gonna talk about today! So it’s really none other than living in alignment.
Y’all might or might not have heard this term before. So what it truly means, in a nutshell, is living in a way that is you you, authentically, truly you.
By birth, everyone has different conditions and aptitudes. Some are even born with intellectual disabilities, like autism, to say the least!
Still, for better or for worse, we’re all living life from a first-person standpoint, and so we seriously gotta make the most out of it! And hmm, how exactly do we do that?
Well, basically, we shift and expand our comfort zone until it has become perfectly aligned with our truest selves!
See, everyone has their own skillset. So-and-so is skilled in A, whereas the guy across the street aspires to create B. A spiritual person might even say that all these so-called desires were rooted into us by an almighty power, God or Universe or Source or whatever they call it.
But anyway, it is clearly no fallacy to say that everyone was made for different purposes. By nature, it is already not humanly possible for someone to be interested in everything! No, even if you are still a multipotentialite, your attention and energy can only be invested in a limited few things.
And so, simply put, a major part of life is that of a grand adventure, just roaming around the vast wilderness of possibilities the universe has to present and distilling which is truly meant for us! For some things I mean, we just vibe with them and fall into their lap! For others, I suppose friend, we’re just not meant to be!
To be honest, if we’re actually talking about spiritual stages, one might expound on breaking out of the matrix and questioning what they have never questioned before, always having taken for truth. In simple terms, why have I always been chasing after status and money? At the end of the day, what I should have been doing is actually… live, plain as day!
Yeah, I exist not just to thoughtlessly survive day-to-day, but I exist… to live!
So truly, one of the first steps of the journey is really to break out of the ego-based survival mindset where we exist just in order to survive as per the insecurities, vainglory and whatnot instilled within us. Hm.
But let’s not overcomplicate stuff, okay.
Hah, scrap that! You can forget about all the nitty-gritty details and stop questioning yourself and your past decisions and just remember this one core thing.
In life, you are meant to discover the life best suited for you. Sampling a taste of this, a tap of that, with this remaining hovering over your life in the background waiting for you to eventually incorporate, with that in fact simply being a lesson that life meant for you to learn from!
Yeah, something life does is it puts you through lessons that you’re meant to learn from. But hey! After putting you through the grinder, what have we now? Well, you’re now much matured, and so ready to fully embody the truest, fullest version of yourself that life has scheduled for you!
You see, if you believe spirituality, one of the most important things is faith in the universe as well as surrender, which is also called wuwei in Daoism. So they say that things are not happening to you but for you ha! I mean, sure, that may be a little hard to accept at first until you’ve grown enough… oh well, we’ll see, huh!
Everyone looks at everyone else and is only able to see what that person actually shows them. Everything else, they are not able to see. And they, innately, see, only view the other person through their own lens, based on things that life has over time built up to become exclamation points in their lives!
Meanwhile, to someone else? Hey! What?? To me, this simply isn’t an exclamation point of interest that I even take note of at all!
See, such is life. Everyone has different experiences. And everyone is saddled with their own burdens.
Sure, you can envy someone. But really! Where there are benefits you spy in them, surely there are some detriments there too!
Taking on a different character, you’d be saddled with a whole lot of different baggage yo!
So, why not just forget about that already and just work on your very own character, you! Now, an interesting perspective I heard recently…
What does it mean when you do feel resistance? Why, it means that you’re pushing your limits! And what of? Well, these limits are just precisely the limits of your oh beloved comfort zone! And once ya escape that, you break outta that, you transcend that, where! could someone be in life?
Why you are the very same person with an expanded comfort zone, seeking to live far truer to yourself than you have previously been!! What had happened previously was that any remote resistance as experienced by you, was indubitably taken as a sign to nah, I’ll probably… do it some other day! before forgetting all about it.
And so you meet an obstacle, and so you stop. And so you don’t grow. And why, you feel pretty comfortable where you are, so… don’t mind me!!! I’ll just stay here!
One thing about us human beings is that we tend to simply drift about within our comfort zones till life sends the final cruel jolt that cruelly permanently breaks us out of it. Then we have no choice but to take action, for even that relatively comfortable space that was still available to us is now no more!!
So today I would like to propose a new way of living. Just take it into consideration, see, and it’s totally up to you whether you wanna take away anything from my words.
So, the ideal way I think we could potentially live is this.
Live with expansion being your foremost priority. Seek out what’s aligned truly with you. Yes, you may have to compromise and accept other things in the meantime, but ultimately, that should be the main thing that always remains at the back of your head… And once you appear ready to take that next step towards the limitless fullness of yours truly’s existence, why please, do so.
Now, I get that some people may be sceptical and think that hey man, ya should just be realistic!! You may spout those lofty ideals and all, but man this is life, cold, hard stone! How’s that supposed to come to fruition, huh?
Well, my answer is simply that maybe you should really take some time to look into spirituality. At the deeper end of spirituality, people gain faith as they watch synchronicities and such happen in their lives. Somehow they just surrender everything to the cosmos and watch as everything is just worked out for them!! Like a puzzle piece, everything just fitting nicely, seamlessly and perfectly together via the divine…
Anyway, at the very least, to more spiritual people, life ain’t cold hard stone yo. I mean, some even believe that love is the very essence of everything… but let’s not go into that.
Whatever the case, why not just do this? Experiment with different things and test the limits of your comfort zone. Don’t let your comfort zone just be a mindless automatic thing for you. Instead, incorporate different elements into your life and weave a nice tapestry of your overall life experience, where you simply feel you can’t do any better!!! In that sense, you’re living to the fullest!
Like, for a start, or even always, you don’t even have to try to bring major turnaround changes to your life! You can keep at that same old lame job or whatever, sure, if you’re so keen. But hey! at the very least, why not go take a look at how you’re using your free time and try to max that out?!!
Expand… broaden… dynamise!
Again, I wanna repeat. Don’t exist to survive. Exist to live! At least, that’s how I think we should live, should be an ideal of us humanity!
Now, I think I have gone on for far enough here. To be honest I didn’t really have anything prepared for this article at all, just that the idea for this article suddenly struck my mind and I just knew this was what I was gonna write about. And somehow, ideas flowed, and here we are!! Yay!
Oh, right. Something I gotta say. This is actually my 22th article since I started writing on my blog again, and somehow or rather, this seems like a good place to compile it all into a book of articles or summat. Heh. Milestone for a personal project for who knows what! Oh yeah!
So yep, I’ve done it. As for whether I’ll still continue writing articles from here on out, I guess I probably will. But maybe not this Friday, maybe. See, I’ve been writing articles twice a week, every Monday plus!! Friday for the past what… ten, eleven weeks?
And so I’ve ended today’s article with aplomb with something that superrr resonates and feels meaningful for me!!! Oh yeah, GJ me!
Ha, yeah, in the past, I also thought that huh, complimenting yourself like you’re talking to someone else is so weird, but in recent days I’ve actually gotten around to doing it a bit hah. At the very least, you are always your own companion!, so make sure you do it for yourself if nobody else does! And presto, you got someone cheering you on!!!
So, I’ll guess I’ll eat dinner now. Again, please, if anything, just remember: align the elements of your life to perfection! Goo!
With a new book lol, Daimon out!
