In the true world, the elders aren’t old as in “weak, sick, and stupid.” As the years pass, humans must grow, mature, develop, learn… and slowly accumulate the most useful, vital, transformative knowledge, behaviors, and wisdom to fully open their physical, mental, emotional, creative, and spiritual potential. It‘s a process of constant growth into a stronger, wiser, better Being.
If we implement the element of Time here and imagine that the process of growth happens in a linear fashion (like we are used to see it in this realm) from physical birth toward the potential unknown, it is clear that the so-called “aging” — growing older — should correlate with growing wiser and stronger in all aspects of one’s life, NOT growing physically weaker and mentally senile.
When You look at life this way, one logical question comes to mind.
— What has gone wrong?
Frail bodies, damaged psyche, memory problems, brain fog, closed-mindedness, clusters of age-related diseases, deteriorating everything… It seems like in our world all this TRASH has become the inevitable age-related norm.
I can do nothing but disagree with this “norm” and those who push to make it happen. I am interested in observing and studying everything that’s officially normal while remaining open to ALL possibilities — even those that lie in foggy, gray areas of what’s considered “fantasy” by many and even “insanity” by some.
It’s not “just living life” or “things just happen this way” although both statements are very true. It’s just that to me, in my eyes they simply aren’t ENOUGH. I want to never lose the ability of just living in the moment and cherishing every experience of being alive here and now — my post isn’t about abandoning that. I am talking about going a step further and digging deeper, even if it’s digging in one’s own mind. When we say “things just happen”, it means every little one of them is a part of a bigger (possibly) mechanical setup. Whose setup? What is it for? Why is it of this particular nature? Why is it in place? And, one of the most important questions, why is it set up in ways that don’t seem very beneficial to us as participants?
