Great words here @ura-soul
If life is akin to a beautiful river, then (to a degree) the skill comes in allowing ourselves to float with it, whilst soaking up the vistas and sleeping on the shore ... as opposed to swimming against it's current and potentially drowning. :)
In being what we are not, we are blind to the majesty of who we are and indeed who we could be, sadly due to perceptual indoctrination and varying degrees of financial enslavement, to simply be is more difficult than I make it sound. Equally (especially with the advent of sites like Steemit) I believe it to be an ideal that will become increasingly achievable.
Great work my friend
Thanks! At times I have agreed that floating along sounds divine and in some senses it can be - but deeply within me I also know that I need to understand what the origin of the current is and where it is taking me. It is understandable to want to swim upstream to get to the cause - but thankfully, the river - as it turns out - is me too.. So I just need to realise that a previous "What? errr.." became the 'wat-er' and it is through my own thoughts that I can 'drift off' in any direction at all, including upstream - if that's where I am needed. hehe. When upstream is not upstream.
I feel that the things we find in life are a reflection of the collective energies that start non physically, so when we find inventions such as Steemit, we are finding a tuning fork that points our logic in a particular direction. The more we tune in and make our own tuning forks, the more the cosmic orchestra starts to sounds more like music than the drone that gets created when the passion is missing. :)
Hey my friend, great reply :) Yes I understand what you're saying and I agree. In terms of the river, I mean it in the respect that following the river is staying true to ourselves and our path. Like the comment you made in the post "What if there is more money in just being yourself than in becoming a lawyer?" Life seems to point us in a general direction but we often fight against it and attempt to be something we're not. The skill comes in knowing yourself and understanding the direction life wants to point you in and not over complicating or indeed over thinking things to much .. or something like that. :)
With regards to the tuning fork that statement is both veritas and eloquently written. Great work as always @ura-soul
