That word. Cringe. First time I heard it was my husband, but that marriage lasted 4 years. Just heard it again.
From the way David described it was no purpose for life, hopeless, no spirituality, no religion.
I am not religious. (I believe that most of the evil on the planet is caused by organized religion. Fuck organized religion….) *** (Yes I realize evil is a concept made up by humans & is subjective. My definition of evil is: murder, pillage, take, carnage, war, inflicting suffering, poverty, greed, and the like is my basic definition of the evils of religion….) (And the United States but I digress)
Spirituality should not be associated with religion. I signed up for YouTube premium, they wanted to know what I was interested in. Spirituality yes, religion, maybe talking about how its awful … But every result was christian.
More importantly, religion, in my opinion is brainwashing, spirituality is being conscious and thinking for yourself, waking up. Religion is a baby blanket, God will tuck you in at night, don’t worry, mom is in heaven.
It feels safe to think someone is watching over you. That what you do doesn’t matter because you go to heaven.
Sadhguru has not necessarily influenced me, but more out into words what I’ve always felt. Love that dude. Alex calls him Indian Santa Claus and refuses to listen. 😅
I don’t think I have it in me to be nihilistic and thank the universe for that. Seems sad. Life couldn’t be without purpose, even if there was no design. What you do impacts everything. Not just humans, but all life. Your energy impacts everything. Anyone who doesn’t give you have a certain energy that impacts the world around you is not paying attention. So if nothing else, why can’t your purpose be making life amazing for everything on earth by being the best human you can be?
