ARE WE TRAPPED IN THE MATERIALTIC LIFESTYLE?

Trapped in the Lope of Life?

Linear thinking dominates our existence and the many influences stereotyping a great deal of people following like sheep the materialistic lifestyle.

What we cannot see, smell, hear, taste, feel, or measure seems amorphous, unreal. The limitations of life perceived this way offer a safety net a very comfortable zone. With it comes assurance that we know what we are about.

Unless the inner self has a hitchhiker sneaking through your back door and sharply steers a new direction in one’s life to explore those unlimited dimensions of existence, one is trapped in the loop.

You can be more and more curious about all those other unlimited dimensions of existence. The world can be linear and goal-oriented but it can also be expansive and associative. To explore the world in this fashion augments the experience of life.

To echo the words of Tibet’s Great Yogi, Milarepa 1024AD

All worldly pursuits end in sorrow;
Acquisitions end in dispersion;
Buildings in destruction;
Meetings in separation;
Births in death.

Knowing this, one should from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, building, meeting; and be faithful to the commands of an eminent guru; set about realizing the Truth (which has no birth or death).

That alone is the best path in life and most religious people have followed it.
