"Religion is regarded by
the common people as true,
by the wise as false,
and by the rulers as useful."

SENECA THE YOUNGER (4 BC -- 65 AD)

When we are tired of seeking
and feel unfulfilled...
When depleted we are left wondering
bitterly our failed endeavours...
It would do us well to remember
that human life is about ~experiencing~
the good, the true, the beautiful, simply put.
So just BE and soak up all experiences
that waft our way, knowing, that
nothing is lost, all is well.
Knowledge gained is not futile
Knowing is the key
To Liberty.

And we are facing a very dangerous world: one ideology, the Russian Marxist ideologies facing the so-called democratic ideologies. So there is nobody you can turn to. I wonder... one wonders if you really realise that. Nobody on earth or in heaven is going to help you. You can pray, and that which you pray to is the creation of your own thought. One wonders if you actually face this fact, or surreptitiously, in our anxiety, in our confusion, we turn to another. one is confronted with this very, very serious problem of life, realising that there is nobody that can help us, nobody on earth, or any outside agency. God is the creation of thought, of man, out of his fear, out of his anxiety, desire for comfort, seeking somebody to help. The thought has created this so-called entity, God. ..... Jk

Say what??

Was today worth the worry you put into it yesterday?

Feeling full, bloated, undigested, not hungry but eating for the sake of and desire of eating and continuing to do so even as a certain breathlessness is beginning to set in - what does this tell? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ironically, so too I ingest information daily from the internet, true
or false, to just pass the time in unconscious floating through these days of boredom, void of
meaning and purpose.... disillusioned too .... uninterested in applying self to some purpose....

in the midst of mania, we can take refuge in daily self-care, like taking time to digest all that’s absorbed.

“It’s crazy-making to take in life’s data and impressions, and continue to balloon up with it inside as random and meaningless.  Sagittarius wants to know, ‘What’s the point?’ ~Molly Hall~

It seems one has to sit back and observe... enough of information... just digest what has been acquired as one lives life. No need for purpose, reason, meaning. All is contained in one's life. So just live life to the best of one's ability and these questions take care of themselves. All the esoteric information I know has not made a dent in my Self-Knowledge nor am I any more "spiritual" and "somewhere else" - I'm still HERE, still plodding, still doing the same things, still held by law to this life, still not "enlightened" - "liberated" - "spiritualized" - "any different" than I was, say, 10 years ago? 20 years ago? or for that matter 30 years ago. I know much yet know nothing. I stand in my own shoes, leave my carbon footprint wherever I tread, try to suss out information here and there but am nowhere special. The knowledge I have gained may make me feel a head taller than the man in the street. It is said that knowledge is the key to control and power in this world. When you know things others can't jerk you around. Otherwise we are all on the same chequer board playing the same game un-consiously. So we are all blindfolded, do not know why we are here, have no power to get out of here, have no say in what happens to us. The spiritual path is supposed to be our way out but then that is another story...

If your mind is tethered to any conclusion, to any experience, to any form of knowledge or belief, it is not free; and such a mind cannot possibly perceive what is truth.
