RE: I Met a Buddhist Monk When I Was 22: Part 2

in #buddhism7 years ago

Was totally not expecting this as how it went down with the monk.
I thought youd get some kind of spiritual epiphany, bc of the interaction...
Hmm...
On a subconscious level, i knew that not all monks in eastern religions were "saintly", but i never thought of it in total awareness. I really wanted some kind of group to be all holy and pure...
Looking back, when i see a monk, i subconsciously feel safe and like i can trust them and tell them my deepest secrets and desires, and that they have all the answers (Yes i totally see how silly that is lol)

This is reminding me of what my message is, which is to listen to your own voice (aka truth).
Because you never know what wolf in sheeps clothing youll be getting life advice from...

I believe we, (individually), have all the answers for our own selves and lives.
We keep ourselves so damn small when we continually give our power away.
Whether it be to a god, gov't, teacher, parents, etc...

Im really loving this platform.
Its very thought provoking and invites loads of similar minded folk.
