I feel confined to the intelligent infinity, I want to interact with kids of a different family. I feel my curiosity is restricted to the understanding of "myself", nothing outside myself. I feel alone, any thoughts on this?
I feel compelled to challenge this.
While you are correct in what you say, you are missing half the equation in my opinion. We are all one and we all stem from and coalesce into the One Infinite Creator. If we are to assume that the work is done, then all we are is useless repetition. However, I would argue that the work is not yet done. You and I are that work, as are all those who came before us and those who will come after us.
Maybe I lost ya there... I mean, we're right back to "we're all one". The reality for myself is that there is not going to be another chance for you to exist as you have in your current incarnation. Don't fool yourself; this is not a re-run. You are stretching out from the Infinite like a lightning bolt - unique in your form in every way. This is why catalyst is so important; when we reject the opportunity to experience the fullness of ourselves, we fail to do our work. The OIC has plently of people "checking out" and not caring; their experience is much the same as one another. Instead, when we engage life and we look for the cues that come our way, we earn the opportunity to polarize and learn the pertinent lessons to each lifetime.
I guess, to sum it up, I think we each are here for a reason. It may be for someone else even. No job is too big or too small if it is what is planned by the higher self. You may be charged with changing the world (buddha, jesus, etc.) or simply to comfort a hurting family member at a crucial time in life (billions around the world). Each action is valuable, for we are each exploring the unique experiences the OIC provides in the search to find the end to itself. We are part of that infinity; the beauty is in discovering it rather than qualifying the worth of its content.
