The work behind your work

[Yousif]

At first, I thought that working at a factory or in a construction site was just that, building physical goods and services,

 

but once I became more conscious, I realized that that this physical and mental work that you you do which is boring and you don’t care about was just a front, a shadow of the real work that you’re really doing,

 

the real work and purpose that you’re doing when you get hired by amazon or john deere or whatever company or industry you work for is that you’re constructing and creating social norms or you’re choosing sides, 

 

for example At my previous work place, I found that everyone there was divided into groups and were in conflict with each other, you’ve got the conservative vs the liberals, the union vs the corporation, the government vs the outlaws and so on it goes,

 

and behind the physical and mental work that I was doing for this job, I was really showing everyone including myself the truth of what’s really going on here in a non- direct manner 

 

For example:- when the union vs the corporation Approached me wanting me to choose one over the other, I simply stuck to the truth, which is that it’s wrong to choose a side because sometimes the corporation is right but other times the union was right so having loyalty to one side all the time was the wrong way to go about it,

 

now even though this was the right way to go about the situation, I was demonized by both parties, and eventually they both agreed to fire me, 

 

but before that happened I had the insight and epiphany that this was actually the real work that I was doing, behind the mental and physical labor of the job, the most important part of it was was the spiritual work, and I found the more spiritually correct something is done, the more perfect the work was and I was utterly shocked, I was having political, business related, health related, awakening for weeks,

next time you work a dead-end job or think what you’re doing in your life has no significance or no influence on society and how things are, think again, nothing is ordinary or has no significance in the real world, you just might not have the sufficient awareness to see it as it is 

 

 

You don’t have to read this part, this just explains how the the things I mentioned above happened :-

In case you’re wondering how all this happened, I’ve been doing walking meditation for 3 hours a day on average and an average of 1 hour a day of sitting meditation for the past 4 years, and the rest of the time I’m consistently studying and watching spiritual gurus and their ideas and making sense of them, I’ve done psychedelics in the past, basically I had the momentum of 5 years taking all these ideas very seriously, the results were that I have a silent mind almost 24/7, I’m consistently in a meditative state, and therefore when I be around people in the work place or anywhere else or even by myself, I can’t help but see the spiritual meaning or significance of what’s really going on behind the scenes, sort of from a god or alien consciousness level.
 

I didn’t know where to post this because it’s got a little bit of everything in it.

Just out of curiosity - what drives you to practice spirituality to such an extent?

Once you realize oneness, everything you do becomes meditation, and the actual sitting and walking meditation is done just out of enjoyment and out of keeping me fit.
