Life at the Crossroads
Non c’è niente di più terrificante della vita non esaminata
Pt. 1 - Myself and I + Intro
Standing at a Crossroads is a term I used to describe my life for a long period of time. I have been at Crossroads for a long time. Since the time I started studying (a stup*d word with dying, I play when I learn) even till now at my early 28 years of age, in fact, my whole life is like the Crossroads — unusual. Similar to yours! (yes I’ve said it reeea_.)
Often, when people asked me, and yes If I go back there now, my answer was that I was at some crossroads — still is! Crossroads never change - rule 1. Strangely interesting was the fact that I saw that as some kind of a transitional phase, an obstacle, or a brake on other seemingly more “opportunistic” things. But today, TUDUP, something was revealed to me (or did I just saw it clearly?) Then decided to share it exactly here, so I write as I think…
Listen.
CONCLUSION: Crossroads never go away.
The whole structure of society somehow makes us feel confidently secure, more or less that we have to eliminate Crossroads — it’s fake, like:
- Graduate with the most degrees to be successful!
- Do not go to extremes not to get lost in life!
- Raise your hand before you speak, etc.
- Pick one field and become an expert. (Peter wants 9+)
But that security out of Crossroads elimination inevitably closes our potential and also sometimes it gives us a false sense of hope and a glimpse of should I say false clarity? hmm…
Simply Convexed into Complexity
In fact, life seems like quite the opposite — feels like it’s not predictable at all, sounds like neither is foreseeable (pure example Corona time). It is so random and simply convexed into complexity, so we have to unlearn ourselves from the false mental structure that society might impose us with, in modern living, with good or bad intentions; whether we like it or not; to realize that we are actually actualized — wait we are not actualized yet (read “enlightened” if you will), we have to realize first who and what we are, yes..yes… let’s not hurry anyway… Geniuses by birth, wonderful individuals, natural-born scientists, curious beings, fragile freaks obsessed with progress, confused, and kindly add your favorite phrase/s here _____________.
(or in the comments)
Every idea thought, longing, knowledge, and/or action are interconnected in our consciousness, as well as us and within ourselves as humanity, and to everything else we touch or will touch in the far or nearer future (my favorite- being nature, other beings, and the stars [other beings as animals you curious little old sport; I know what you’re thinking].) Well, fellas, all we have to do is perceive this relationship. That’s it.
WHAT?! Want more!?
Here is your second part.
*Second part
…well, fellas, all we have to do is perceive this relationship. That’s it…
But that’s not as easy as it seems, is it?
The sages say that we have all our answers within. Define a sage? That the kingdom of God is within us, that the beauty is in the observer. That the bird who sings may grieve, that the one who always smiles is only happy. As this flow comes out like the beauty from whatever without any form, thoughtless, and boundless, like the concept of “Be water my friend” — Bruce Lee, and like the fact that there is beauty in everything if you look through those eyes, beautiful.
What is it that you push yourself not to answer nor even ask? What’s the thing that bothers you but you undoubtedly wink at it again? Do you want to tell me that some institution will answer all of your questions? For YOUR life? How we came to be? Why we exist? Is there consciousness after this plane? What is consciousness anyway? How does it form? Aren’t we alone in the multi/universe? Are you sure? How so? If so, who did created us while we create the AI? Is our creation second, or in between billions+?
…promise to answer with comments…
I’ll let the silence speak, as I pretend to be the seer, and the calmness - my butler, will drift you towards the ending.
The Ending
Aha! We talked about life as a Crossroads. Stop it! Life is a crossroads…let me finish…like it or not. What is even more interesting is that I realized this just now. Even though it was always in front of my eyes. I chose to follow the seemingly “less safe path” to be sure, or did I choose an uncertain life to become just certain? So if you go through a struggle will that make you blissed? And won’t you find the answers if you just seek them? (hmm maybe this does not apply to everything) After all, even Einstein said life is relative, can’t you see it now?
And that’s the truth… so contradictory of you, Simon.
Conclusion: Out-of-crossroads-comfort, doesn’t exist. Let’s not lie to ourselves.
That’s exciting!
And after the castle of cards collapses hopefully not to, then you might be afraid..but try not to look at your foundation before you start over if you haven’t ever looked within. And don’t worry, there is nothing scarier than life not examined. Because:
“The unexamined life is not worth living. “— Socrates.
Ps. You know what?
This 4th industrial revolution is our biggest Crossroads.
Better make it better together(:
P.P.S. Being at the Crossroads is awesome!
