Thank you to plenum for this:
"...there was a time when I also sought spiritually minded people locally. It was a failed endeavour. We are way too scattered across the globe. The internet is what connects us now..."
And to abstrktion for this, which I can do as well:
"Spiritual people are all around if you accept "spirituality" in a number of guises."
I have to tell you, I have been so lonely, spiritually, at times that it's almost done me in all by itself. I have never found anyone to "together seek" with as Ra puts it. I don't even know what that would be like. When I've thought I found someone, our paths veered off from each other's, often very soon after meeting, and the possibility was lost. I've concluded that this is part of the path I designed; nothing else to believe unless I want to become nihilistic.
Sorry this is way off topic, but it fit here and something made me come out with it.
What you said earlier, Gribbons, I experience as outright fatigue and pain:
"My spirit wants to accomplish so much here, but all this negativity and the circumstances in my life makes me feel so lazy in this chemical-body. It's a healthy body, but it's so heavy! I feel like I can only do so much with it."
I'm not a large person, so I often wondered why I felt so heavy - until I noticed that when I am truly in harmony and can feel the light within, I feel much lighter physically too. Physically I want to dance, but there's a spiritual pull to really go places with all this illumination I have, and that latter part usually wins! Yes, I neglect my body in this way, not giving it the exercise it needs.
