I totally understand where u are in life! Ive been "waking up" for the past few years and I often struggle to be in both worlds.. Its painful to see so many people not understand what the reality is. I am still trying to figure out my purpose so I really enjoyed the quote u put up, especially this part
He must be capable of not knowing what to do with his life, entering a period of unknowingness and waiting for a vision or a new form of purpose to emerge.
It puts some things into perspective for me so thanks, i needed this..
Anyhow, its nice to run into more people who are on the same page as me.. We are few and far between, but steemit is a great gathering place for all of us 😉.. Thanks for sharing, following.
I came to the conclusion that this is the best part of being awake is discovering that feeling of not knowing. It is hard to get used to and sometimes painful for us adults when we are used to knowing our path for many years. Maybe a path that we chose long ago or a path that we felt comfortable with because of our culture's influence. Sometimes tragedy happens or some force outside of our control causes us to change our path like death, divorce, loss of work, etc. But when I chose to be the force that cuts off my past path it felt like I was dividing myself in half. I think that period of unknowingness is needed to complete the "death" of my old self and transition into a new and better world.
