Could not of said it better myself and to the OP do not embrace the darkness as that is the way of the weak. The OP is trying to find a sensible way
to fix his problem and we have Riggs who embraces the darkness telling him how to find The Light. I know its not just me who fails to see the sense
in that.
Yes God is a humanized form of The Light, the force which governs us and judges us before we pass on to the next world. I am a spiritual person
myself and find that religion causes nothing but segregation and not assimilation. I am working on being a spiritual medium (learning to communicate
with higher realm Saints) and it is giving me amazing guidance.

That sounds awesome, Drakiir. I am curious about that sort of thing myself. I have had unintended commune with different spirits, positive and
negative, and would like to connect and commune on a more conscious level with the positive ones. Fear has been my only setback in this, as it often
is for many things in this world.

What would you do if you found out that we are all tied down to a table unable to move, unable to free our selevs. If you look up you can see the sky
and its beautiful. If you look down you can see the trees and they to are goregeous. If you look left and right, then you can see horror, two very
large saws with dull blades headed straight for us. Does the sky and the trees in all of their marvelous beauty still attrack you to stay? I don't
know about you but in my opinoin the pain that those two saws are about to dish out over shadows the beauty. I don't wont to stay tied down to this
table and face the dull blades on that saw!
Wow, that was exactly my view at one time. You are also obviously overwhelmed with life right now and need to relax and focus on the positive.
This is not easy but it is necessary. The bad side is always easy to see for the honest at heart, so I don’t think you’d need to be concerned
about losing sight of it, but I do think you may be losing sight of the good in this world. We are living in literal Armageddon. It has been going on
for thousands of years now; the battle between good and evil. And just as good may care, hold and guide, evil may intimidate, boss and torture. It is
very painful to be on either side of this war, and many people are caught in it somewhere in the middle (and I doubt very many if any are completely
on the right side at the moment, in terms of being fully collected, brave and connected.) The Light asks only that we follow it to our best ability
through all this chaos; that alone is a stand against the Darkness. It is very difficult, and at times extremely difficult. But believe me, we are
each where we are meant to be, facing the obstacles that we are meant to face. I can’t pretend to understand it better than anyone else, but my
spiritual knowing tells me we simply need to keep following the Light. If ever you feel distant from it, it is still there and can be reclaimed (like
the metaphore, “God forgives” (we are ALL of the Light and it will always be there for us.)

You do not help others by taking the easy way out, nor do you help yourself or society as a whole. Take college courses if you have not already, widen

I'd much prefer being a base that helps to lift up someone with the potential to change the world I do not have (that's okay too), but you seem very
passionate about this. I'm begging you, put this passion to good use.
That is a very key point: passion. As Joseph Campbell would say, “Follow your bliss” (not merely for emotional reasons but because when you do you
are aligned right with the Universe.)

I feel exactly the same way.
All of this about "You Create Your Own Reality!" and "Everything is Love and Light!" is complete nonsense. New-age crap. There is something
horribly wrong with the world that's beyond our control.. I feel it, and it's indescribable but I can't understand how some people don't notice.
Something is just off. Karma is a lie, spirit guides are pretending, reincarnation is a prison-- the earth itself is a prison at this point. We're
cut off from our true potential as human beings.. Simply being positive doesn't change the state we're in. I feel we're being fed these lies--both
the religious kind and the new-age variety-- in order to keep us happy, dumb and stagnant. There are things going on all around us which enslave us,
both in the physical and the other worlds..That we have no idea about. (Clearly I don't have any idea either, but these are all just my feelings)
I can't express it. I've felt this way for as long as I can remember and yes, it is very very isolating because most don't seem to notice, and when
I try to explain it, I'm just paranoid and crazy. I hate how certain brands of "craziness"/conspiracies are almost considered cool, whereas others
are just mocked or ignored..but that's another topic I suppose.
Interesting thoughts. There is however a difference between true joy and pretend joy (like for example, the difference between falling deeply in love
or embracing an infatuation, or shooting out of bed each morning with heart-felt excitement or lifting out with a fake smile based on a blind
determination to “have the right attitude.”) Real joy is found after doing your shadow work (the Light at the end of the black tunnel.) We are
indeed in a horrible state and are not growing spiritually because we are not learning, and this problem is causing all sorts of symptoms which are
regarded as individual problems and treated as such, and so people just frequently believe that “the problem with the world” is due to a complex
multitude of problems, and therefore the answer is “difficult to find” (in other words, there is no reason why.) Our spiritual disconnection is
the problem, and our unwillingness to get it back, our embracing instead of all the BS out there. Each person does help create his/her reality, but
the reality we share is made the way it is by billions of wills/beliefs, and many mystical outside ones as well.
“EcLucifier: Ok I'm going to be blunt, I don't care about people!! I'm over the save the world nonsense! You people just don't get it.....If the
Human race really wanted things to be different then it would be. Everyone wants to be saved from them selves, well I want to no part of this species.
People are just to stupid to understand anything.. Their are those that get it and their are those that don't, and this world is predominatley filled
with those that don't get it and thats fine, some of you like it this way. I got no problem with that. I just don't think that I should be forced to
stay, thats all!”
I have the same attitude. It is not all that I am, just like I doubt it is all that you are, but it is there. It is a natural frustration. Ever read
“The Outsider” by Colin Wilson? An interesting book. Us outsiders are often isolated by our aggravation with people because we can “see
deeper”, as Wilson puts it. And the pain and torment, I know, unfair, unwarranted, sometimes extremely difficult, and it can seem relentless. And
yet we have chosen to come here and bear this. Jesus represents the True Self, and Jesus’ crucifixion represents the constant suffering which the
True Self must endure from the ignorance of the ego. One way the True Self can (begin) to save itself and defeat the ego however is to speak out and
be heard, like you’re doing. I understand your pain, fear and frustration has driven you to a selfish need to escape, but I’ve been there and
don’t blame you for it. Just try to relax and focus on the good inside you, the good of the world, the good between the two.

You know, one thing I believe the people in this thread are trying to tell you is that you need to change your view of the world and your existence in
it. As many other people in this thread have pointed out, if you focus on the negative then that's all you'll experience.
It's called 'mirroring'. We all do it on a subconscient level. When people are kind to you and full of energy, you begin to behave like them and
also feel full of energy. If the people that are around you are in a bad mood then you tend to also develop a bad mood.
The cure is to change your frame of mind. Do something good for a complete stranger. Pick up a piece of trash and put it in the garbage can. Take a
quiet walk in a garden. You'd be surprised at how the little things you do can make a big difference on a tiny little blue ball we call Earth.
And, by the way, there is only one way out. And you don't want to take it. Instead of giving up, try working to make the world what you want it to
be.
Well said, Promecus!
