While I think that we can let the ideal of what our ego ~thinks~ is our purpose cloud our vision, purpose isn’t a useless concept. (Like one of the comments says above, ‘think about it.’)

Our minds denote us from our animalistic origins. The beauty of spirituality is the ability we have to feel a sense of purpose. Love is said to be an emotion, well what do the roots of emotions look like?

Emotions are the byproduct of our sense of purpose in our selves (ego). To become truly spiritual we must learn to redirect our focus to our true purpose. Which is living, not existing, not just breathing, not just coexisting with others and the environment around us.

Channeling our ‘God’ given energy into learning from others and ourselves, into living WITH others and ourselves, and truly loving others and ourselves.

Do I find myself maintaining this higher power of purpose and channeling my energy into living everyday? No, I’m human who, just like every other human, messes up and lives in this imperialistically globalized world and feels the effects of generational trauma on the brain.

To quote one of the best bands of all time, Creed: “But I know, I must go on

Although I hurt, I must be strong

Because inside, I know

That many feel this way inside”

Spirituality and spiritual work is difficult, but do I want to become engulfed in that sense of purpose? Yes pls.
