Stumbling upon things in my mind I came to the impasse of having to overcome the physical and material with spiritual and mixed up the words as if they were interchangeable. Is it possible that there are people out there that want to overcome the spiritual with material?
This notion seemed laughable at first and liked them to flat-earthers in my mind for such a matter defeats itself so easily – they are looking for enlightenment or the spiritual in the physical by achieving a collection of grand sorts or building what cannot be built and so on.
What baffles me the most is that it must be that group that takes the term god and makes it something we have discovered and holds the thought up as an idol in their collection.
A friend of mine noted once that in the bible it says even to not have idols, yet a lot of people idolize god, the thought. To me for a long time it was a being in my mind that grew in presence and grandure until I destroyed it with all I hated about that delusion. Since then I refrain from using the word “god” – for in my mind there should not be a single word that can encompass the endless or infinite, the all that is, the all in all, the “I am” presence or “source”.
Its all just an attempt to cage something that is not meant to be caged but aligned to. I dont have all the answers when it comes to this belief for to me it boils down to what philosophy I can apply in my life that makes it better. Things like working for the greater good and aligning with the “I am” presence have helped me the most.
I feel like I can do the most for others and myself by aligning to the greater good and when I sync into or feel the “I am” presence it calms me down so I can get that done. But its not such a simple recipe – there is also needing to be who I truly am along with my mood, so there are factors that contribute to a larger picture so that I can function as an individual.
In comparison I can only imagine a materialistic mind to have god sorted out – hes on my side and he loves me no matter what I do – so they go ahead with chasing after physical riches by their means. Its like a straight forward mind driven robot that has found the answer to being soulless and emotionless.
This philosophical construct has not been confronted with energy, or vibe, or moral – just a factual understanding that things work out physically, the way that is learnt over and over without the vital ingredients.
I jabber on about this while most people dont take it seriously, but if these beings exist they need dire help and it would be source of sadness to know how many people think in variants of this way. There is no virtue in chasing after riches if the end result is not somehow enlightenment. The freedom to live out your dreams on a deeper level and experience the hearts and minds wonders make you far richer than any amount of gold or possessions and to boot – if you boil things down there are no people besides acquaintances in your life that stay there for material gain if you are materialistic. The true joy is having people that care and ones that share emotional journeys as we go through challenging times together.
The construct I outlined was simple but I think it has done its deed, for it is that flat, superficial and empty consciousness in a nutshell. To be honest – I’m unsure of how to help such people directly and if I meet someone that is a variant of that I feel pity. For the world even, because there are certainly many that look up to people that have the world so figured out. So I liken this mental construct to a machine that never stops running. Built to produce and hoard resource that is either used by the living or stashed away with stingyness and a chip on their shoulder.
