Humanity as the big deception and indisiveness

[Jacobsrw]

Does anyone doing personal development feel experiences of unsatisfaction within their environments and circumstances and ego battle? I've been for the last year largely cutting down on materialism and deceptive activities. Although I continue to come back to this place of inadequacy with humanity and ego battle. I feel Humanity is so over privileged, deceptive and over prioritised and fuels ego. I feel being amongst humans and the saturating interactions harbours the beauty in experiences.

Being so conditioned from birth to over look other things and orientate around humanity I feel blinds the potential beauty that can be witnessed and felt every day. I don't think humanity is evil or not necessary, I just feel the immense euphoria cannot be embodied merely by orientations around humanity conventionally.

My trajectory is towards holistic appreciation and gratification in the most simplest things possible and the ability to interact amongst humanity with as little deception as possible minimising the fuelling of ego. But the human saturation makes this so difficult. How does one prevail to hit this inflection point and go beyond when so induced by human involvement?

How wonderful, Jacob— since you already know what it is, and how it is in terms of relativity and grating conventionality, just continue to hone your inner knowing by becoming a smoother interface with temporal phenomena, situations, energies. It's true practice in terms of 24/7 concentration.

In my experience, it is a matter of further developing one's sense of transparency to reach the outer from within; whereby one uses the outer to further refine the inner.

The outer is all we have to work with~ there is no denying that much …❤︎

Yes definitely. I feel these sensation are most present amongst nature but once back to the infrastructures of humanity I feel this becomes harder. Realistically speaking one should feel such ectasy in all experiences due to nature being involved in everything wether the conventional technology, buildings, machinery or ourselves it's all connected. I feel silence and nature are the two gateways to deep unconditional, appreciation, and gratification.

@Jacobsrw As a “ householder” ❤️ I appreciate the guru’s oh so much, Leo, Tolle, Sadhguru, Rumi, Buddha, etc, but, these are not direct in terms of realizations. My (more) direct masters are my wife and kids. Nature, time alone, there you can get it. Then, with ‘others’, you get to see what you got, and what there must be yet to get. The more intimate, the more immediate, the more mingled the relationship to other, the deeper is what can be realized of self. A brilliant guy could write a brilliant book on The Path of The Householder. If my intuition is so, one already is. 

When you can see infinity in a plastic miniature toy spoon, while a six year is screaming at you that you are using the wrong spoon for that tea cup AGAIN!!!, well, that’s just delicious, no matter what you’re “eating”.

@Nahm I see where you are coming from. I do agree think having a good infrastructure while doing this work is fundamental. Just not getting lost in the outside world is the difficult part. Finding that balance that works is important for every individual. Thank you for your feedback ??

@Jacobsrw Thanks.  Exploration of the inner world changes the outer world. Hard to believe that could do it.
