Is there more to life than what you have and where you are today?

By Reginald Martin

Many of us when we start in to middle age will question what is life all about. By this time we have tried to be everything to everybody and fit into a prescribed role that society has put its stamp on as the ideal. We have tried attempted the corporate level climb, we belonged to the right church and right clubs. We have basically done so many things with other people’s interest in mind and yet we come to a point in our lives that we feel unsatisfied and unfulfilled by the present circumstances. We wonder is there more to life than being born, dying and all the bullshit in between. In other words, why do I exist?depressedpeople

I believe that every conscious being in the universe exist for the purpose and joy of creating and expanding its consciousness no matter what level that being exist on. Through creating and expanding its consciousness this being adds to the collective joy of all consciousness in the universe. I believe that that ultimate understanding is that no beings joy is going to be the same as another and that we can allow another to experience its corner of the universe in the way they desire. When enough of us can come to that realization we will cease the need to convert others to the “right” or “righteous” way of thinking and believing.

 
Consciousness delights in growing



Consciousness will expand. It will turn itself inside out to do so. As human beings that has consciousness as a part of us we seek to expand. If you think back on times when you were the happiest it is probably times when you felt the joy of experiencing something new, creating something new, or just simply enjoying an experience. These are the times that we are living our purpose through our consciousness. It is when we are expanding. When we are not expanding we get bored. When we can’t envision a way out of the stagnation we can become depressed. This is what is happening when we go through a “mid-life” crisis. We feel that we have reached a point that we have gotten all that life has to offer and have become stagnant. We start to search for more meaning. It is a search for expansion of our consciousness and understand our place in the universe.
What you will need to know is this. Your experience is subjective. In other words no one else can feel and experience what you feel. You will also need to have or develop the confidence to be able to work through your experience knowing and understanding what is relevant for you and you alone. You can not look across the room or across the street at someone else and try to define your experience based on theirs. You experience is the most relevant experience in the universe and it is unique.

 
Keeping up with the Jones is a prescription for disaster

 
Many of our problems in society today come from what so many feel is a need to measure up to others or fit an ideal. You have to find your ideal for yourself and even then it will change as you grow and expand. There is never a time that consciousness, (which is part of your true being) wants to stop evolving and be stagnant. When you are feeling unsatisfied and/or unfulfilled about your life it is the larger part of your being speaking through the physical you and letting you know that it is time to grow. Time to evolve. The way you grow is totally based on what you deem as appropriate. You might have many false starts, but that just means you have not found what you are looking for that will bring that constant joy in your life. Don’t stop, there is joy in the journey too.
From a physical perspective we run into so many road blocks in creating our joy. In reality we create so many of the road blocks for ourselves. In most cases it is because we have forgotten the knowledge of who we are in the universe. We have forgotten how powerful we are in the universe compared to our physical existence here on earth.
We get so bogged down in the day to day crap, like bills, work and when the next football game is. Because we have forgotten who we are we believe that physical life is the ultimate existence and that we have to scrounge out every little bit to the exclusion of others if need be. Those others we see as competition for a finite amount of whatever we have fixated on. We have forgotten that there is an infinite amount of resources that we are able to create anything that we desire. You create your experience.

 
You create your experience through the law of attraction

 
When you understand the law of attraction and how it works past positive thinking you will realize there is not right or wrong in your experience. Everyone attracts everything in their experience based on their thoughts and beliefs. The universal laws will orchestrate all things that you attract into your experience. The laws will cause everything and everyone to weave, match and touch each other based on how you think, believe and vibrate. It is the law.
Is there more to birth, death and the BS in between? You better believe there is and you can construct it the way you want. You can start from this day forward. How do you see the rest of your life? With that question the journey renews every time you ask it.

Hi Reginald

You have a great way of making people think and rise to be their highest selves – I really resonate with that.

I can second the claim when you say that when we look back we were the happiest when we experienced something new – or just plain had an experience.

This has been a big focus for me lately. As of a year or even more ago, my husband and I stopped the whole “gifts” thing for b-days and other occasions. Aside from celebrating each day not just one, we realized that material things just come and go, but it is the experiences that truly build us. So today if we want to “treat” ourselves or give a gift – we look for new experiences to expand our being.

So yes, I so feel and know that there is so much more to life than what our basic five senses pick up, so much more….

Hi Evita
Thank you for the compliment. It sounds like a great pact that you and your husband made. it is such a wonderful idea to recognize each day as a gift. One of the things I like to do to keep expanding is to learn something new everyday. No matter how small or seemingly insignificant it may be it adds to my expanding consciousness. The lessons can come from the darnedest places. When I was a school teacher I learned so much from my children. It was awesome!

I agree with you that a focus on material things can blind you. Just like anything there has to be a balance. Everything and everyone in the universe seeks that balance. How we get there is what life and spirit is all about.
