I respect your decision, and me writing this post is not really a good example of simply "Being" haha Big Grin
I wish to do things also. We have plently of time being dead soon.
We have a current dilemma. The spiritual side of life, which ignores the physical and the 'rules' of this world which we've created our systems of logic and cause and effect around, such as: eating healthy, working together, gardening, etc.
My perfect society would be a harmonious blend of the both, for I feel that people who do not see both the spiritual and physical sides of life tend to be unbalanced (in my eyes, of course) and less harmonious with themselves than they could be.
What do you think of this? Is is possible to create, unless we all further realise that we are One and thus try to blend our individual vibrations together instead of opposing eachother?
A point of clarification, and the miscommunication was mine: When I spoke of working, I was unclear. I should have used another verb or another phrase - I didn't mean "working" as in what one does vocationally; I meant "working" as in living. So to rephrase: I don't believe that 'being in the moment' excludes the process of living... of doing... of changing... etc.
Ayadew, I don't see the paradox or the dilemma in what you wrote (well, I understand what you meant, but it's not how I view things). Even in this physical incarnation, during which time certain struggles have arisen, I have never ceased "being". Even in my most comfortable states of acceptance, of feeling the Oneness, still, in those states I AM. The words "am" and "be" are verbs. Action words.
My life as a human is not separate from my spiritual path, nor is it in conflict with who I AM... even when I - as a human - experience struggles. I am not a spirit entity trapped in a human body; I am what I am, entirely.
I also recognize that even when humans seem to be in conflict - with themselves, with each other - they are acting in harmony. It all balances out. But such awareness does not negate the process of living, the inherent struggles, the human need to communicate, to move through physical life, to be (action word). Hence my belief that it's entirely appropriate to do human things like work toward improving life on this planet, or at least discuss ways in which this might be done, which was my point in starting this thread.
And, Phoenix, I agree - some folks just don't fit into social norms such as working nine to five; some folks are better suited to other alternatives. Which, I think, is another good reason for opening a discussion regarding what might be changed in order to improve things here in life on this planet. I think it's important to honor these differences rather than to label them and try to fix them or force conformity to expectations regarding what is "normal" and "productive".
And, Taha, maybe there's a reason I had shrimp for dinner last night, too..?
