Have you ever felt that school is too much, that it is a major cause of stress? Do you go to school every weekday, only to be bullied and left in tears? Do you feel that the work we do in school is boring and repetitive?
You are not alone. I think so too.
We are taught to be the best in the class, to get the best grade, to do the most homework. However, none of this is important. We are not designed to be the best, not designed to outperform every other human being, not designed to follow instructions for a third of our day. We need rest, we have a heart, a spirit, and a mind. We are not robots designed to follow instructions for a portion of our life.
Think about it. Everything you do in school is, ultimately, for an exam of some sorts - what is the point in learning stuff only to do to exams with it. For example, when you study chemistry, you are not studying chemistry to use chemistry in your life, you are studying chemistry to do exams about chemistry - which you will forget 10 minutes after doing the test.
If you feel restless, tired, anxious, nervous at school - please do not feel ashamed for you are not designed to work in such conditions. The most important aspects of life are the simple moments - in which one can rest in a meditative trance and observe the beauty of nature.
Although we are so covered in technology these days, we were not designed to be. The purpose of life is not to get a diploma, or to win the Nobel price, or to get 76 A*s - the purpose of life is to be here now and just observe the divine quality of nature.
It does not take a single exam for you to be spiritual - just the mere interest in the small moments of life.
The foundation of our society is built on sand, a foundation that will not last very long if it does not change. There are already cracks in our system and the innocent students are the ones falling through the cracks of the system. It is not students' fault it is because humanity has placed itself on a foundation that it was not meant to be place on in the first place.
Even systems that we believe are so rigid, like money, are not rigid. They are nothing more than mental constructs that people have made.
Money has no value. The only reason we think that a £5 note is worth £5 is because we believe it is worth £5, but there is no inherent quality that made the note worth £5. A leaf could be worth £100 if we all believed it. There are people on this planet that have nothing to eat, nowhere to call home, no time to live, nothing to life for. What is the reason behind this? It is because they do not have enough money!
We made something called 'money' and gave it an imaginary value, which we all agreed on, now we have become slaves to our own invention.
After reading all this, you may be left with a stark question: 'What is the point in living?'
The point in living is to experience the divine way in which the moon orbits the Earth, to find internal enlightenment in this very second, to go and sit in front of a plant and wonder at the miracle of life, wondering 'Is it true that the same life force that flows through me flows through that plant?', to sit under the starry sky with an open mouth and imagine 'I wonder what could be moving those stars, wonder what might be up there?'
When one starts to experiment with the ethereal side of life - one is already spiritual, and it does not take an A* or a Diploma, or a Degree to be spiritual. Just the mere interest in the small moments of life.
