Ha! Yeah, I've been saying lately that the spiritual community as a whole takes itself way too goddamn seriously (which by extension makes it very make-funable). I've certainly been guilty of this and still catch myself falling into it occasionally. But I've found that spirituality and really ALL schools of thought offer infinite rabbit holes, and it can be fun to go down those holes occasionally. But these days I'd rather laugh at how ridiculous it all is and spend time actually carrying out my existence than analyzing the meaning of it all.

Sure, it is quite absurd this circus of beliefs. I have fallen privy to many in the past and feel that it is time to find reality again. You know, be here with everyone else.
Humanity has found so many little pockets to hide awareness so as to not face reality - as reality gets more weird - more holes are taken more seriously.
Which holes will prove to be livable long-term?
The ascended 5th dimension white light hole?
"So you're going through a painful experience? No problem, just remember - you're ascending!"
I'm starting to think nothing in this world—at least the way it's presented to us—is real. The level of absurdity just continues to increase.
Ha! Reminds me of a book, Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You. Actually a really good book. The title is mostly meant to be sarcastic.
Personally, I don't think either a positive (I'm racking up my karma points!) or negative (life sucks, why is everything so unfair, everything used to be so much better) interpretation of pain/trauma is particularly useful. Sometimes valuable lessons can be gained from upsetting experiences (like forcing you to deal with something you'd been putting off), but ascension is way too nebulous of a concept for me. Usually it comes down to two choices -- deal with it, or say "it is what it is" and move on.
New religious movement right there.
We can add sparkles later.
Thanks for your input! 😃
Yes, gotta have the sparkles!
