I think you should seek an enlightened teacher or a like minded community to learn and grow with breh. @Complexion
Something interesting happened which upgraded my paradigm in a conversation. Dig:
"Fix your own problems, not the worlds" he said with the effortless grace of one who knows what he is sharing is the highest form of wisdom.
"But, what if thats my role? My goal? My reason for being?" I replied. He looked me straight in the eye and dropped a bombshell:
"After all thats been, you still haven't realized thats your ego talking? The wounded little boy in a grand armored skin doing for others what he wished someone would have done for him, back when. Listen, I didn't come here to break your illusions, sew seeds of confusion or enmire you in delusion. Far from it. The Path is as simple as it is complex but discerning the main challenge from the side quests, now that is something else. Something else entirely, my friend, because many a good man has spent the best part of his energetics on things that, in the end, were totally irrelevant. I can speak to you like this for reasons that are obvious, yes?".
I nodded my head and took in the wavelength.
"I admire your mission, your intent, your purpose and the rest but, in the end, its misplaced because you simply cannot save them. Heck, I doubt you can change them and thats being really real. Just look back at the track record of the skilled adepts that came and left with textual records of what they said, did and the rest. Humanity ripped that all to shreds in their quest for ignorance and used the symbols for conflict instead of seeing that they all wished to connect to the Self same thing. The brutal truth is, not everyone is supposed to make it.
At this stage and moment you don't have the faintest conception of what you're up against. Maybe thats for the best because if you did you'd probably reconsider your options and choose something else. But then, what would become of the life unexamined and the calling you're heeding from within which says this is correct? I know you doubt, thats good. Anyone who believes they are certain and correct cannot be trusted as none are so fooled as those who first delude themselves but you are on a quest that is most Quixotic. One day you will laugh at your own ignorance".
"I do not doubt this because this" I gestured around. "Is a work in progress in which I up my resolution in increments in order to become more Centered in Self".
"There it is. The golden egg and the goose that lays it. If you devote your time, attention and will to just this and nothing else there won't be a single thing left undone from your wishlist because, in the end, the only thing getting in the way of your plans is your own ignorance. That is what we do battle with in this realm. There are no monsters or demons that exist without our permission. We are, quite literally doing this to ourselves and once you've seen through that lens it makes way more sense why this all is how it is because, currently, you are watching a clip from the longest running epic the solar system has ever seen where the good and bad switch, relationships are nebulous and treacherous as well as upliftingly purposeful because not everyone who helps is a friend and neither are those you fight enemies".
"Teachers" I corrected him.
