I'm with you brother. I was told this by a psychic (yes, a psychic...I know, I know.. but this guy was good, and became a friend of mine
overtime..)
I felt that you were on the same journey as I.
I can't explain why I felt this, but it compelled me to contact you.
This is what he told me. I already knew this before he told me, but when he said it... it confirmed my beliefs even moreso.
"My feeling is that, as you are aware, the world is filled with people who are sleepwalking through their lives. Many prefer not to be disturbed, but
for most this is just a front. In fact they are desperately wanting to awaken.
The world, as with the individual, seems to be organized around the avoidance of anything revelatory. It seeks imitation and fears the real thing. A
person trying to usher something creatively genuine into the world is often crucified, whether in fact or just metaphorically.
My feeling is that you already understand your purpose in the world as a revealer – but you seek confirmation. You have always seen what others have
not, and as you have come into a deeper awakening of this truth of your being, you are able to see even more clearly.
With seeing comes a desire, even a mandate, that you show the world what you see. This is what it means to be a Bodhisattva – one who has climbed
the wall and peered over into the promised land. Instead of thinking only of oneself and jumping over that wall, the Bodhisattva rather seeks to show
others what he has found. You have come back into the world, Alex, to reveal. "
