Spirituality You are alone in this mad brutal world.

[twojei]

When you look at the stars there is you who are looking at the stars in the sky; the sky is flooded with brilliant stars, there is cool air, and there is you, the observer, the experiencer, the thinker, you with your aching heart, you, thecentre, creating space. You will never understand about the space between yourself and the stars, yourself and your wife or husband, or friend, because you have never looked without the image, and that is why you do not know what beauty is or what love is. You talk about it, you write about it, but you have never known it except perhaps at rare intervals of total self-abandonment. So long as there is a centre creating space around itself there is neither love nor beauty. When there is no centre and no circumference then there is love. And when you love you are beauty.

When you look at a face opposite, you are looking from a centre and the centre creates the space between person and person, and that is why our lives are so empty and callous. You cannot cultivate love or beauty, nor can you invent truth, but if you are all the time aware of what you are doing, you can cultivate awareness and out of that awareness you will begin to see the nature of pleasure, desire and sorrow and the utter loneliness and boredom of man, and then you will begin to come upon that thing called `the space'. When there is space between you and the object you are observing you will know there is no love, and without love, however hard you try to reform the world or bring about a new social order or however much you talk about improvements, you will only create agony. So it is up to you. There is no leader, there is no teacher, there is nobody to tell you what to do. You are alone in this mad brutal world.

But I will say one thing, judge judy said it perfectly, "most people go through life and never figure it out"

Figure what out? That people help each other.

[Suigin Trismegistus]

So, do not feel insecure or afraid--we are all HELD FIRMLY IN THE
INFINITE MIND OF THE ALL, and there is naught to hurt us or for us to
fear. There is no Power outside of THE ALL to affect us. So we may rest
calm and secure. There is a world of comfort and security in this realization
when once attained. Then "calm and peaceful do we sleep, rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep"--resting safely on the bosom of the Ocean of Infinite
Mind, which is THE ALL. In THE ALL, indeed, do "we live and move and
have our being."

Make yourself someone else's problem. You really have your self at the end of your rope, cause problems for others. Find someone and fixate on giving them issues. Doesn't even have to be major but make it noticable.

We ARE social animals after all. What have we got if it is not each other?
