I feel that I don't have the same goals in my spiritual journey that most people tend to have. I don't want to feel at one with the universe, for instance. I'm no longer really all that interested in building a connection with higher powers or spirits, because, well, I wouldn't really trust them anyways, and probably just wouldn't get along either way. I don't really care about securing a good afterlife for myself. I don't want answers. I don't care about the answers. I feel like all my goals in this regard were not fulfilled, no, but just kind of atropied off. I no longer care about the meaning of life. What does this mean for me, my friends?
>>41236356All genuine spiritual traditions have only one goal: freedom.When you "get it" you're free to decide...do you want to be reborn on Earth, or not. Do you want to experience physical existence, or not. Do you want to have an individual self, or not.It's all about choice.
>>41236356I don't know but I'm feeling the same way, after many years of being on some kind of a spitirual path, I've lost interest. I feel like I've "done enough" to understand some things and function in the world. I'd rather go outside, be with friends and family, watch a movie. I'm tired and need a holiday and have lost people in the last couple of years. Maybe I'm a bit depressed, never have been before. I still enjoy things, I just don't feel the same drive to explore and understand the universe. Or actually, just recently I did think of something I saw in meditation a while ago. It was one small aspect of consciousness which interested me, and I did have the thought that it might be interesting to do a deep dive into that. Which would be a bit of a project and would include having to learn some of the science as well. How about you OP, is there one niche thing that might spark some interest to engage with? Or has your path been about healing enough to function and then go and do other stuff?
>>41236872I have become completely disinterested in life and reality on the whole. I have no interest in seeing what happens in life or reality or anything like that. I just feel completely disconnected and uninterested in it. In fact, repulsed by it, to be quite frank. I don't want to understand the universe anymore. I don't care about its explanation for itself. I've decided that it's a negative thing and I don't want anything to do with it.
the universe exists for Self
>>41236356this is the new normal no? most non retards on this board are being pushed towards this belief
