Im here waiting
3"To him the gatekeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Sadly, at least here in Canada and especially in my beloved Calgary, tons of people, especially those that are middle-aged or close to, will delve into the New Age. And they'll believe it. I've lost count of the many times someone quotes "the Secret" or attempted to tell me something about my character based on my astrological sign. The chances of my astrological sign predicting exactly what choices I'm going to make or how I'm going to live my life makes me cringe. Come ON!
Yes, people are scared, the unknown is terrifying and, well, that's part of what many of us need to fight against. That fear. I know, personally, I'm perhaps one of the worst students here because of the lack of discipline I put into mysticism. I personally put all my work into my own art, music, and I spend hours upon hours on it every single day, trying strange method after method and exerperimenting with what I can achieve. Odd ear training methods? Done them. Strange weight exercises? Done them. Even that weird Glenn Gould tapping technique.
I was personally very afraid to pursue music initially and feared even practising due to fear of failure. The ego is such a driving force in so many of us. We fear failure not because of its actually physical repercussions but because of how we will see ourselves.
With Reiki and mediation, I've put in so little work in comparison to what I should be doing. I know it's because I'm scared of letting anything go. I'm scared of letting my S.O. go, scared of letting my hard work in music go, scared of letting my parents go. I'm scared of letting my little bubble go, because it's safe.
The unknown is scary. Even life itself is scary. But bravery is also a great attribute, many of us have so little of it. How many people who have never travelled anywhere would be willing to admit their fears and go to some far-off place for two weeks and NOT go on a tour that plans everything for them? Not many.
But that doesn't make them "older," just more developed.
Brian mentioned how God no longer cares about if we reach enlightenment or not. He doesn't care if we get out of samsara. You know why he doesn't care? Because we're so freaking screwed up! And whose fault is it? OURS. WE are to blame. WE made this choice, all of us together.
I will blame them a million times over and blame myself as well.

Of course, we have those who are taking care of that problem...
what I should be doing."
And what should you be doing? If you don't deal with the root of desire it will never be sated.
letting my S.O. go, scared of letting my hard work in music go, scared
of letting my parents go. I'm scared of letting my little bubble go,

Like all things created within a dream, if you don't let go of it on your own, it will be forcefully taken from you...
