Missing higher consciousness

Why do you think that you need to go anywhere? You are interconnected with everything, and everything is inter connected with you. Maybe try letting things go their own way for a while, because things are going to go their own way anyway.

 

I feel you sister, I've been there...you're in SD right? That place will do it to you, for sure.

 

I lived next to a busy road for a semester in college. I won't ever do it again.

 

Silence is amazing, it engulfs every sound.

A meditation,

Listen and pick out the sounds you hear one by one. Acknowledge one hearing it firmly and move to the next. Soon all that you hear will fade before your attention as you seek that last vestige of things you hear.

 

I like doing that with bird tweets. At first they wake me up and after awhile I can hear them instantly and it feels like the sound moves through the body. Reality is great.:2thumbsup:

 

i thought coming back to my hometown after years in northern az would be great.... wrong! i miss the desert, i miss mountains, i miss snow, i miss solitude, i miss being able to see the stars.

 

I feel for you...if you are somewhere where you are not happy at....everything is miserable....
Here's wishing you a happier destination in the future.

 

The high desert has a way of claiming her own. It shelters Spirit that is seldom found elsewhere.
Still - when learning to go deeper, it behooves one to do away with the necessity of externals that aid - as there is no surety that they will be present.
But from my own experience I will say that it sure is nice to come home again.
We always have to be ready to step off the known into the unknown, but that does not mean the door is closed. The welcome mat for her children is always out there for us. Thanks Be

 

'Higher' would be relative in EVERY case, Imo. Completely relative in that each life has been "given" it's own inculcations/experiences and understanding of the world around it and how to relate to that "world" that has been created. Look around. Escapism doesn't seem so outrageous after one opens the "door," steps through, only to turn around to see the "door"close and disappear. In other words, all is not what it seems and many of us are urgently in need of losing much of our egos by taking that step--not all of the ego of course, but enough that allows us mind travelers to see and come to grips with commonly accepted reality and to then re-shape it to our satisfaction and fulfillment. Hopefully to ones benefit. I know I needed a "kick"in the pants to enable me to see instead of merely looking.
