Do you ever get the feeling you are being dragged into something nasty?

"The souls get sucked into the evil corruption."

There is definitely a very negative force "out there" which drags us down. I am not sure what the force actually is, but I am sure it is there. In many ways it does figure - because from the age of about 21 we all start growing old and slowly dying.

What is this negative force which has a grip on us? What is "growing old"? It could even be more sinister than simply growing old. It feels morally bankrupt.

I certainly feel a force dragging me down. Do you?

From the second you are born you begin to age

that's life not a ' negative force '

I don't feel a force dragging me down, I'll shortly be 81 and get out of bed in the mornings looking forward to another day in this fascinating world.

There is no 'evil corruption' there is only you.

Well said Busby, nobody drags you down except yourself if you allow others to interfere in your life.
You and you alone are responsible for your own happiness.

The "world" as you experience is our internal world - our thoughts, perceptions, feelings.

Change the mind, change the world. Choose a more positive thought, choose optimism, choose happiness.

Honza, I feel it too. I feel like a pawn in a crazy game of good and evil. And my soul is in the middle of it all.

To me, life is a journey.
You get out of it what you put in to it.

I am planning on going back to a place where I was very adventurous. To me, nothing like getting lost and in some cases, the only language the people spoke was Chinese, was something my soul enjoys doing.

Foster68,

What you and others feel is the sense of being stuck or being trapped. To break free of that requires courage and faith. My go to thought for that is this: “If you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat…”

The thing is, there probably is a great battle between good and evil going on. There are those that completely deny it, but to me it is real. The trick is to find safety in the thick of it all. That may mean one has to save oneself and put no.1 first.

Yes...their is a spiritual battle between the ears...many have talked about that and written books on it. :)
And yes, put No. 1 first ...of course, that is diff for people;
to me when I read that I only thought, '' Yes, God ''...that is my safe place, my No. 1.
(Not because, I'm perfect or some goody-goody, people say to me with snark..it's out of desperation ...
like grabbing a life preserver when you fall over board!)
