Real Talk w/ Dave 1

Hey Friends,

I’m sure you have at one point asked your self, what is the point of all this mystical stuff. You hear the same thing each time, Man is asleep, we are infinitely perfectible, the mind is so much more powerful than you can imagine. You can  go to any yoga class  hear talks of opening chakras,  doing exercises to harness the power of your third eyes  <said like I am selling you Oxyclean on a home shopping network>.

At some point maybe some of you have to said like I said to myself this is all bullshit.  Bullshit in the sense that  if I read tons of book they all say the same thing, I feel better an happier  for reading it but I have not found what I want.  I can read about Zen Buddhism, Sufism, Yoga, Gnostics, Esoteric Traditions, but after a while and a lot of money spent on books or traveling to distant lands I am back at the same place on the couch watching reruns of What’s Happening,or Good times   Dyno Mite!!!

Very few things are as frustrating as looking for something you can’t articulate or visualize well, but makes its presence so well known in your life. From my own life I can say my search started from a rejection or some sort of disturbance.  Massive amounts of saddness, pain and unhappiness. It was unbearable so I looked for something that could make this life seem bearable. To me there is no spirituality or mysticism, those are just words people who read some books like to argue over dinner or drinks. Its like two balding men fighting over a comb.

There is just life. Just this moment. Surprise, there is no big secret. Yes we can align ourselves with many hidden laws that are seemingly undiscovered or recognized by the established scientific community. And yes,  we can use these laws to move our advancement further. But what good is that if we arent 100% centered or balanced in whats real? As Reshad Feild says “Even if our motives are good, it is rare that we ever fulfil our original intention.” For me I am trying to find out what is really, really beyond all these forms I see , behind all the faces I see.  I want to live one moment free from all that which binds me which is none other than is myself. You know the saying ” I will walk a thousand leagues in faslehood so that one step ofthe Journey maybe true”

It’s a struggle everyday, many times I’m content with things as they are I dont feel any compulsion to change, to get out of bed other than to pay bills. I dont want to meditate,  I dont want to smile and be courteous. Most of the time I dont feel like talking or being social.  It warm and nice being wraped up in my own little world.  But then there are thngs that happen that  tell me there is something happening beyond me, out of curiosity, out of a yearning to understand, a desire to know I started looking, Its like smelling someone cooking something good and all of a sudden you realize you are hungry.  You get a little tastes here and there and then before you it u are waiting to be invited to dinner. Whatever you were doing before doesnt matter.
