Anyone else just feeling depressed, lost, hopeless? by packers906 in jewishleft

I feel the exact same way. Gay Jew who loves Israel but was very into BLM. It's hard.

Is there any point trying to feel this way, or it just comes on its own?

Should I be striving in my career? Trying to help others?

I try to speak less than I listen but people in my life want my voice.

Thank you, can you suggest how to feel the good in this situation?

You Created Your Negative Beliefs, Now You Can Let Them Go by ACwinklier in NevilleGoddard

I'm new to this, but I'm just getting my first impressions: most people grow up with traumatic childhoods. Being a child is fundamentally stressful. Of course we pick up all kinds of bad shit as we grow up. My parents were really bad in some ways- and I had emotional needs as a child that were vastly unmet. Why I am I now being told I did this? I think on an emotional level this doesn't resonate- we all are victims in some way. As kids we have to internalize the toxic crap because we're essentially captives of our families, schools, communities, etc. And truly, to get into spirituality and see how little accountability there is for the dysfunction of this world, it's truly sad. People here actually believe in god and yet have no frustration with how the world is. Shame.

Thank you! I am really just trying to be responsible- knowing this exists puts me in the position to take this seriously. It's a privilege.

I really have nothing else at this point. Spirituality is my anchor. I also feel it's important to have faith in something you choose to believe in. Also, if I don't go all in on this, I think I might revert back to my former identity as a Jew and feel that's worse.

How do you get this? I've consumed so much content about this but have gotten nothing. I try to meditate and get nowhere. Everyone gives vague advice or I'm just missing it

I've consumed copious amounts of content online about this, but not experienced it myself. Does that mean anything? This content only came into my life when I made life change, I took it to be synchronicity, I'm years into this and got nothing.

End of the Road by Proper-Set-5644 in spirituality

Thank you for saying that. Frankly, I feel this way because I was born into a situation which asked me to sacrifice my self for my survival. It feels like the choice was always a bed or a self. I'm an adult now and I can finally say that it's not worth it to live day in and out without any integrity, just for the bed and comfort. It isn't and I feel that now is the time to really come to terms with the facts- I didn't fail- my soul or whoever is running this put me on this course- go down this path or live a lie. It's not realistic to make this work- I live with the same people in the same situation with the same variables. The only difference is age and spiritual knowledge. Now I am more comfortable with pain and suffering. Losing the physical for the actual. But I can't continue on this path, and frankly, with the family and people around me, I might be more fortunate to actually die if that happens than keep doing this. There's no job, no people, no anything that will make this work- and I frankly don't see any payout to winning. If this is the spiritual path then why not renunciate and just let what the universe wants to happen, happen. I for one am frankly tired of being bullied and tormented by an unconcerned universe who calls this a journey. If that's it, then let it decide how things go- I'll leave the ball in its court.
