Hey Keith… I applaud your curiosity and desire to search out strange spooky shit and share it with people. It’s fun to do and to hear about. We’re all searching for answers to things that concern us most. So have fun with it and soak it all up bro!
I want to encourage you to be open and precise with your inspections. So when talking about notions of ascension and higher states of being, it’s very important that everyone tries to get on the same page as to what exactly is meant by those statements.
If you mean, becoming more aware, then consider that doesn’t need to happen by the hand of some grand event sweeping up all of humanity in a wave of total enlightenment. I mean, it might, but some of the most enlightening moments of my life have come from the littlest most trivial events.
Walking my dog in the morning I see the leaves change and hear them crunch under my feet. It’s easy to ponder the cycles of life just from a simple walk in the woods. I feel I’ve been made more aware because of it. And like you mentioned before, it’s nothing really that I can share with anyone. It was a moment between me and the moment, and nothing more. It wasn’t for you or anyone else. It was for me.
Many times my children have brought enlightenment my way with the funny little things they do and say. To witness the wonder on their faces is very inspiring to me. And I can’t imagine waiting around for the world to be rescued by some cosmic force, when the miracle is right in front of me every second of every day of our short lives here together.
Ask yourself a question… With all the crop circle and ufo and 2012 doomsday folks out there, is there a single one of them that believes in that stuff and has found it to make their lives any more fulfilling or fruitful? I know people who get swept away by that folklore. And not one of them has anything whatsoever going on in their lives. They simply live for the ability to spread the jaws of the rumor monster. That’s all they have. And it could be said, that by letting that consume us, it is the very thing that prevents true enlightenment and a greater awareness from taking hold in them.
