What we need the most is perspective.
Enlightenment, awakening, consciousness, ‘wokeness’. There is so much chasing spiritual goals, but have you noticed that the initial intentions of finding more joy, peace and happiness in life have you now actually resulted in more stress, anxiety, worry and obsession?
Everyone is trying so hard to ‘get there’ and spending so much time overwhelming themselves with ‘the way’ to get there that we have traded one not ideal mindset for another.
It starts with the realisation that life is not what it seems.
You realize that you were blindly following along on autopilot and now feel like you are seeing the world completely differently. Through this you learn about the levels of consciousness and moving from 3D and 4D, and with the goal of ultimately reaching 5D. You start learning, reading, watching, searching, and doing absolutely everything possible to get that ‘place’, but in the journey you start to lose yourself to another form of blindness.
While growing yourself and opening your mind to other ideas is a great pursuit in life, education in the spiritual world can becomes obsession just like anything else. Just like heath, fitness, work, money, beauty etc.
In the past 10 years I have learnt a lot across this area, and sheesh I can tell you I would still have likely only made a small dent. What is truer to me, and honestly what I came back to each moment, is the simplicity of perspective.
You don’t need to be a master, a guru, or perfect spiritual being in any way, other than to always wake up with perspective. It’s seriously that most basic concept and allows you to completely bi-step the entire process of all the fancy schmancy hoodu guru hocus pocus higher level thoughts and trying to make sense of the more often than not most complicated ideas.
When you realise you are going to die one day you can’t help but just be happy and enjoy your life. Perspective.
When you realise that others are in hospitals and palliative care you can’t help but be happy with your body. Perspective.
When you realise that children are being abused, neglected and don’t have access to food, clean water, or shelter, you can’t help but be grateful for a good childhood (not perfect).
When you realise animals are being tortured, burned alive, and harmed. Perspective.
Perspective is the lifeblood of this magical existence.
