Ever Feel Lost?

[RossE]

I'm wondering if other people get this too.

When I first started meditating, self inquiring, learning about enlightenment, it was all great and it really resonated with me. I was bouncing around most days as I began this new journey in my life.

I'd love to say I feel better after 7 months of the spiritual work but a lot of the time I'm never too high, never too low. Not overly passionate about anything. Just kind of okay with everything.

I still see the spiritual path as a good thing but I don't know what to believe anymore. God, emptiness, Truth, true nature, I've had experiences of these things, but my day is now dominated by relating things to the truth and studying my egoic behaviours and it really gets wearing. It all makes sense to me, in essence I'm trying to achieve unconditional happiness and joy, which sounds great. But I can see that's just another thing I've clung onto hoping to make my life amazing in a way.

I try to think about making goals for the future, think about what I'm passionate about and what I'm aiming for in this lifetime, but I just get a sense of how meaninglessness these things really are, and realise that it doesn't really matter if I achieve them or not.

Anyone else go through these same emotions/feelings?

I've booked a few days away alone in a couple weeks time, hopefully I'll get perspective on all this.

@RossE yeah. Just follow what feels the best in your body time after time, choice by choice. You will arrive at clarity soon enough.

Goals are great. Dont think seriously jump into one goal now. 30 day challenge.

@RossE This too shall pass.

The path will pull you back very soon.

You do not choose a path, the path chooses you. You take up a path and at some point the path takes over. There are some points where it wants you to just stand still. The old is gone and new hasn't arrived yet. It feels all empty and meaningless. Why even bother seeking - I used to think, and I think that even now sometimes. But it happens that I get pushed back into the journey no matter what I think

I came to know it as "surrender". Study what it really is.

@RossE So those things are meaningless. What do you find meaningful?

[RossE]

@WelcometoReality Happiness & peace, however those things may be created. That's all anyone's after in my opinion. Doesn't matter if you're Trump or a bum on the street.

Stay true to your feelings, motivation comes in up & downs and your mood knows best what resonates with you at that moment.
