a direction
Before you can know in which direction you should go, you must know what your starting point is.
We cannot walk exactly the same way, we do not have the same journey in our life.
We are all in a life situation unique to us, have our own experiences, experiences, value systems with behavior created and colored by our upbringing and our surroundings. The differences may vary, but they are there.
We may have the same goal, but the direction we are coming from is different.
Therefore, the answers we seek are different, the answer I need to get is not the same as yours.
We mostly look for answers outside ourselves, but you are the only one who knows the answer, and you can only find that answer by turning your gaze inward.
Taking a journey into oneself gives us information that we will never find anywhere else.
Only when you know the starting point, have mapped yourself, can you plan the continuation.
It takes courage and self-discipline to scrutinize yourself, but that cost is so small to pay for the knowledge you get at the other end.
Once you become aware of this, there is no going back, it cannot be unlearned, but becomes part of your new personality, the essence that is the real you. What you know, you only know…
This is not a utopia or the result of wild imagination, but as real as your everyday life feels today.
There is no question here of retreating like a monk in Tibet, those who spend all their time in meditation and deny themselves all worldly luxuries, no, it is probably best for those who seek the absolute extreme. And that's good for them.
No, we are talking about how we can live in more harmony with what life has given us, and implement this in the life we live.
A richer life, which contains both spirituality and realism.
We often have a conviction that it is impossible to live up to both at the same time. It is not true.
Everything in life is about seeking harmony and balance, too much or too little of something creates an unstable mind.
