The roles we play/spiritual evolution

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

sometimes i am silent but never away.   

spiritually....i am just a thought away...sometimes, not even that far. Somewhere lost in time.....

i am ?   

Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment.

Just missed your presence;thus you were lost to us in time. i was born under cancer too you know!  We are in touch with our past quite a bit. Sometimes it's hard to remember that we are here now and everything is so different. Takes a while to adjust and find our place among present friends and circumstances. There are new limitations and also new challenges as we get ever closer to our divine awareness.

  sometimes it gets a bit tiring going against the 'current' of 'society'.

Indeed.  The river of spirit and the current of society do seem to push in opposing directions sometimes.  It is easy to let one's self get lost in the flow of one and lose course in the other.

Insightful Lucky. The pressures of society often have the results of finding us in untenable situations which divorce us; not from the partners and situations that we have chosen but rather the spiritual and love choices that lie before us when we are receptive to their influences. This too is why we were born with those weaknesses and at this time and in this era. So that we 'see' what we create in our choices and to make choices that coincide with our highest spiritual interests instead of the pressures we succumb to by family,'friends' and societies ignorance. Some of us are able to see our higher purpose in helping others along... going beyond the 'traps' that lie before them and they have found themselves victim too.

People who engage in or support iconoclasm are called "iconoclasts", a term that has come to be applied figuratively to any person who challenges established dogma or conventions. This is a role we often find ourselves playing in this era which is divorced from the flow of spiritual and creative changes that are the mark of loving choices.

sometimes a 'life-preserver'/encouragement to keep swimming, comes in the form of Love.  Love is expressed thru action and words/posts.  thank you...

Love is also expressed thru being. These, people like yourself r rich with being. To those who exemplify love it is easy to reciprocate. The challenge lies in giving love to those who do not reciprocate. The course of the life of Christ was the most significant to me of following the river of spirit instead of the current of society. The human intellect can not even begin to fathom the depth of that kind of love. He followed the current of spirit to his physical death ignoring the current of society.

i'm confused
in past threads we've discussed ego and challenges such as, 'removing the seed of desire'
we've discussed the difference between the spiritual and material. although i still have some questions here... like, are the spirit and body really two separate things ?
but not to drift
coming back to this thread has been very helpful and your original post is very insightful. i wanted to bump this thread and pose the question... what are some ways to manifest spiritual fulfillment ? there's nothing wrong with desire i feel like it's fuel for the soul. the only way to nourish the idea is in the pursuit of your passions right ? even if that means life pops the bubble that is the ego or takes one through an emotional ride... when that happens, i hope to learn from it... but am so blind sometimes... want to change, how to cultivate that feeling and be stronger. i'm actually trying to cut some passions now and didn't realize how much my conditioning is challenging this new idea but at the same time feel like i'm becoming OK with things i might not have been or contemplating on things i want to be passionate for. what is this game- is it a game? yes and no- am i unfolding through out the process- WHATS GOING ON the answers are never enough, knowledge doesn't seem to pacify the cravings- so it makes me question- what are these cravings and reflect- what to be passionate for ! ?
sdfkjsfd agh i've created knots for no reason when i should just be happy playing in heaven- perception ?
