Hello nuetral333. I appreciate the emotional honesty.
In reply I would ask if you have ever been confused? Have you ever not been sure of what was true? What choice was the best choice? What was the difference between right and wrong? Who you were and where you were going and why you were living and why you hurt so much?
When you look around at this world, do you see how people may become confused in a place such as this?
Is the general conditioning each of us receives from an early age telling us an empowering story of serving others and finding our own divinity? Is it helping us feel connected to the whole and find our place in society? Or is that conditioning focused on reinforcing the separate, isolated individual whose worth, meaning, and satisfaction depend on acquisition of materials goods, or status, or pleasurable circumstance? Is the conditioning unified in any way, or does it smack us from a disorienting variety of contradictory, fragmentary sources?
Have you noticed the emotional damage and great traumas people suffer without adequate tools for subsequent processing, integration, and healing? Do you perceive that people are generally aware of and have access to effective healing modalities?
Do people always receive the love they need?
In the metaphysical studies, has consideration of the veil (which intentionally hides the truth from our conscious vision) yielded any fruit? What have you found are the effects of the illusion?
Is it understandable that, under these particular conditions, mind/body/spirit complexes sometimes get hopelessly spun around and lose their way?
What, then, might be a light to help anchor and orient those in the grip of confusion and suffering?
The missteps in the night are, oh, so easy.
