Being on a path of soul searching, for many years now, I've frequently asked my self this question…
If the main thing that people doing internal work is clearing themselves of trauma and blockages, going deeper into the self, what is it that they are contributing to society? Are we riding the good life on the back of the people that work hard? Is it justified if I ask for money from people that want to spend time with me in a specific context (what we call coaching or therapy)?
What is the value of what those people intend to do?
I've come to the conclusion, that what we, as soul searchers do is tremendously valuable.
I subscribe to the theory that we are just small parts of a mere bigger thing. We exist in our own space but are inevitably also connected to our environment. Each human “piece” together makes our unified collective consciousness.
In a time, where a lot of people are getting absorbed by media, filling and coating their consciousness in thousands of fabricated inputs, lots of these inputs have the intention of furthering consumption….
We need people who dedicate their time, to lift the veil, to look below the coating of culture, to stay in touch with who we really are. With the essence of life and creation.
To stay in touch with a felt sense.
If we dont have these pools of clarity, I believe our species will go down the drain of meaninglessness, automation of living and disease.
This work is not always easy nor fun, otherwise, everybody would be doing it.
As others are planting gardens, we are planting seeds of consciousness, in those whom we meet.
Some people never meet a human who is in touch with their deepest self. I don't want to sound elitist, but most humans are spending their whole life not even scratching the depth of their existence, because they are so wrapped in the cultural indoctrination, which just furthers getting more and more disconnected from anything “real”, in terms of a real and felt relation to life.
I will finish up this post here but plan to expand on this topic in the future.
