Unless you give complete and utter devotion to the endeavor you are wasting your time. Life is presented and thus lived in separateness. Outcomes are offered in exchange for time, and resources. Prescriptions are employed. Yet, unless what is prescribed is passive (financial investment, maintenance activities, etc.), what is obtained from the action is at best average. One must ask oneself if average (in anything) is ever worth it. This honest reflection highlights the brevity of existence. Society propagates the conversation of should and should not, right and wrong, avoidance of risk, and acceptance of fear, as reasons to turtle up and hide. The more you listen the deeper you are conditioned until finally your existence fits neatly in a box of entertainment (TV, internet, stimulants, depressants, etc.) avoidance of risk, and acceptance of fear.
The way out begins with awareness. Your views on existence and its potential can be traced to specific societal origins: parents, school, entertainment, relatives, religion, etc. Perception is learned and lived for so long that aberrations (in behavior) are self-judged as shameful. This ownership of an external ideal is toxic and unnecessary. Be aware of what you claim to be, what group you identify with, what opinions you accept as truth, and what beliefs you stand by, and confront them head-on. It is not so hard to do.
To live as an individual requires risk. It requires surpassing the suffocating stagnation of fear. To live as an individual requires trust. Trust that life exists in symbiosis. Life takes life, life creates life, and life sustains life. Safety is an illusion. By embracing difficulty you callous your mind and body in preparation for future challenges. Frequency is dependent on your level of devotion to the endeavor. Devotion is paramount.
Remove yourself from all group associations (religious, social, political)
Avoid labels of race, gender, and sexual orientation
Question the following of a scripted plan to keep you aligned with an organization/path supposedly funding your survival (work)
Survival is above and beyond security
Repetition is the mother of all things, good and bad. Repetition fosters consistency, good and bad. The things we repeat consistently, without resistance or significant hesitation deserve our attention. It is here that clarity is found. If it doesn’t happen in the very instant you entertain the idea, it will not happen. The problem-solution for tomorrow remains a problem for the present.
Seriousness is for the rare human being. It requires a high degree of individuation, and right-participation in society. Understanding your past to correct your present, and participating in society as an individual, while embracing life with an expectation of excellence. As an individual, you are afforded the opportunity to perform at the highest possible attainable level in this lifetime. This is only accessible above and beyond the plane of competition. If you understand what that means, your life will move on an entirely different trajectory. The unknown awaits your devotion.
