The greatest tragedy

[ThatMan]

In my opinion, the greatest tragedy of the human experience is not knowing who we are, living our lives and knowing so so little of who we are, knowing so so little of the totality of the experience of being. And what we know is not even close to who we are and what we are.

With every glimpse of what is out there, what I am, I long for more and I realize what I miss, everything, absolutely everything.

Have you ever happened to fall asleep right when there was something really really interesting happening only to wake up hours later and realize you missed it? This is what it is.

In this very moment the experience of being, in all its totality is magical, words can't go that far, I just can't put it into words and yet we miss it.

what we know is even in the opposite direction and upside down from where we actually want to be if you ask me!

I was told, just wait it out. It will be just fine...

And it isn't like, I have any choice in that. No way am I gonna be able to fix this mess...

I wouldn’t call earth life a tragedy. If it were so, why are we here, with memory of our true nature erased?

In singularity, we are living light of Self, complete and at peace, ineffable peace. We have full freedom but no attributes, no desires, positioned in eternity outside the matrix of space-time. Good. However, even though as such, in my view there is a deficiency in three aspects: love, wisdom and power.

In singularity there are no adversities, no challenges and hence no learning. So, we choose to descend or rather shift by polarising consciousness. This process causes us to forget who we are so that in trance we can fully immerse our attention in the pulse of duality. As at this time, here in this density, love enablement is our task. Later would come wisdom, when all minds are one with universal mind, say as in Ra Law of One existence.

After a while, we intuitively wish to reconnect, rediscover our true essence because we feel a sense of lack. Spirituality is aimed at re establishing that recognition. Once we see directly who we are, in truth nothing is gained because we always were, are and will be the Self but now we are awake, knowing the truth in active awareness. Life goes on as before, which we had signed up for but now our responses are wiser, gentler and more acceptant.

@FallingLeaves In my experience, home is already here, has always been and will always be, it's just that we are not aware of this.

Unseeking Seeker That's the thing, from that perspective, things look so much different compared with the human perspective... To me, personally, knowing what I am not aware of, moment by moment, the price paid for this human experience, this forgetfulness, is the greatest tragedy.

The grass under my feet was shouting out loud: "He can hear us, finally he can hear us"; this is from one of my experiences. The trees, the ground, the stones, all the life around me was shouting out loud this message for I have not heard and I have not seen my entire life until that day.

Moment by moment, the universe is declaring its love for us, and we are not hearing it, we are not seeing it. I was once meditating in the middle of nature, surrounded by tall grass when I suddenly realized that the tall grass loved, absolutely loved to be moved by the wind.

I have not heard and I have not seen my entire life until that day.

I thought this stood out to me. We always think about what was. The use of the word have not and had not. Have is the past is still seen present though I am seeing. One will always see both. One must be let go of imo memory. We often hold on to the past (memory) even when it no longer happens or is for us. We create our own realities. There will always be both, a now and memory. Embrace the now. The is no tragedy imo if one sees it as it often feels is learning now.

There is an identity crisis within the human species; people think they are their body and their thoughts. People are separated by the color of their skin or the type of body they have. People go to war and kill each other over thoughts that are different then theirs.

I feel it would be wonderful if intuition was strong in the majority of people, intuition more than thinking. But this world is stuck on thought, logic, reasoning, and syllogistic thinking. The problem is not with thinking rather it is with faulty thinking and thought controlling peoples’ lives.

The identity crisis creates an “us” and “them” mentality. But I also embrace that as tragic as it is spirit is still there in the background prompting everyone towards their greater intrinsic potential. A potential that is beyond thoughts and words. A potential which is overflowing with unconditional love, wisdom, and a greater sense of being.

I have seen the transformation within myself and embrace a similar transformation is happening in others, although there are some lost to hate and separation while still being nurtured and fed by the oneness of being. In my wildest dreams I could have never imagined the inner journey which I have traveled in this human life.

The tragedy does give way to amazing grace. In my experience we are all already home and have always been home. It is just a matter of consciously experiencing our true home. There is an imaginary line between us and our true home. When all and everything is saturated with divine spirit, there is nowhere else to go, we are always at home, engrossed in a passion play that can make things seem tragic. In my opinion.

Well said, Starman although I don’t share your optimism about a (large scale) transformation in humans. If it is so, we don’t see it reflected in thought, word and deed on ground.

I did receive guidance once, suggesting that we should look at spirit, not form. The wisdom imbibed takes time to be assimilated though.
