This is where being aware of your clear definitions of what you mean when you use these abstract words will help you to navigate this issue for you.

There’s that word again.

You “need” to? Sez who? Where is this written? What happens to you if you don’t fulfill your need?

And it’s really none of my business what your answers are to these questions, but I really do urge you to answer these questions for yourself. Because, if I were a betting man, I’d bet that part of what’s challenging you here is that you’re using a bunch of these abstract terms to obligate yourself to things you’re not really aware of.

Is this truly a “Need”? Or a “preference”? Or a “desire”? And can’ you feel how some of these words might take some of the pressure off of you.

I see no fault in that. Isn’t that one reason why many of us turn to “fields” instead of traditional methods?

What if your path to your achievements (whatever they may be) could actually be fun and easy and satisfying and fulfilling for you?

So, doesn’t this tell you about another “purpose” you have? That taking care of your loved ones is important to you?

I think you’re overlooking the choices you do have and you are making, even in this aspect of your life.

You ARE choosing to concern yourself with your mother’s circumstances. (And, to be clear, that is not a criticism. I’m simply stating a fact.)

You could move away and leave her to her own devices, but you CHOOSE not to do so. (And, to be clear, I’m not suggesting you abandon your mother.)

And, perhaps, you’re making this choice of yours because of societal norms. But that’s still YOUR choice.

Speaking of societal norms, so far, in this conversation, you are CHOOSING to conform to societal norms in how you’re considering “bettering” your life and the life of your mother. You are CHOOSING not to rob a bank, ransom an heiress or even selling a kidney. These are all choices YOU are making.

And I can even point out that you are CHOOSING to better your life in a “spiritual” way. That’s another choice you are making.

I can go on and on, with just this little sliver of your life. But I understand, it’s really hard to see the choices you do have and your are making, when you’re telling yourself a story that you don’t have a choice. I wonder what other choices that you do have that you haven’t yet noticed? I don’t know when you will recognize the door that’s open for you to walk through, just like so many other open doors you’ve walked through.

Sounds to me like you’ve discovered yet another of your purposes!

Nihilism is the belief that life has no purpose or meaning. If you’re ever really stressed out about failing in life you can just think for a second that maybe nihilism is true and then feel relieved because you can’t fail if nothing matters and there is no true success. And then nihilism will have served a good purpose.

Extraordinary view, so even nihilism can be used for good.
For a little while you can say that I was (perhaps) a nihilist.

It iz what it iz. Just do whatever you want man, ultimately we are just like atoms making up the construct known as the universe, which may just be one out of countless universes, and who knows if that too is just one plane of existence out of countless.

Exactly.
Thank You for your thoughtful answer. :pray:

Also, we are our own Cosmos, each one of us, an entire World of Mystery, so each “world” has his/her own unique way of expressing and being.

Bro if you think you are purposeless in life, simply ask yourself the following question:

Hunter & gatherer societies live a purposeful life hunting their meal every day.

Sedentarism is what leads to depression, anxiety and mental illness. Not only by the kind of food it produces (high carb) but also by not doing any physical activity and moving your energy outwards rather than inwards.

If you want to live a more purposeful life just become more nomad and less sedentary.

If you are living this life you already have a purpose.

Having a purpose to live this life means you have been incarnated for that purpose.

The question here is wether you still believe in having that purpose or not?

Cant believe in a purpose we have 0 memory and knowledge of… perhaps our “higher/true self” should start giving us some info :crazy_face:

Your number one job is to direct your life, to be the ceo of your life and fitting in is highly overrated. Your job is not to fit in, your job is to become uniquely authentically you to the hilt. Profoundly yourself that’s your job your job in life is to find yourself and then be yourself to the utmost.

Of course that means ultimately awakening to yourself as god but even long before you reach there you have a lot of work to do understanding yourself as a character as a persona as a human so it’s not just about becoming god it’s also about becoming more human.

The more human you, one of the greatest joys in life is defining yourself you get to define how you want to be in life

  • what you want to stand for
  • how you want to express yourself
  • how you want to be creative
  • what you want to love
  • how you want to express your love for life and for the world and for people
  • What do you love in life

you can think of it as on your gravestone when you’re dead it should be written for every person this person loved blank and that shouldn’t be a mystery that should be completely obvious by the way the person lived their life everybody who knew that person should say this person loved blank and fill in that blank and it’s completely obvious.
