That's beautiful to hear, brother, both your future intentions, and your present solid focus on your children! I very much understand, and I commend you! Taking excellent care of our children is of superlative importance! I never started a family, or had children, which is something that I regret now. I do end up helping others take care of their kids quite often, though. I wish you immense success with your family, and your future off-grid intentions!

That sounds brilliant! You're being fully present where, and with whom, you are now, while also preparing for your desired future! I'd be honored to run into you at some point! Sounds great to me! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Amen my brother! I remember the meat and potatoes of an old proverb, I believe I heard it from Sadhguru. I can’t remember the actual story (something about a king visiting a cabin in the woods in his province)…but I remember the moral:
The most important person is the one you’re with right now now; The most important place is where you are right now; The most important moment of your life is the eternally unfolding moment, which can only be seen..now! :)

That's an elegant and succinct way to express that. NowHere is where the magic happens! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

NowHere, nowhere, all is certainly one!

Indeedy it is, and individualized consciousness is not an illusion either! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I remember reading in either the Hermetic Laws, or something that came out of them, that for example physical existence is an illusion, but only to those beings who are existing on the higher planes. To us, while we’re here, it’s all real and should be treated as such. To assume existence is all non-reality is kind of putting the cart before the horse - it’s a feeling or a theoretical understanding, but it lacks the depth of experiential knowledge to be of any real substance…aka if you live as though life isn’t real, you’re probably going to screw it up 🤣

I'd say that physical reality is one expression that greater reality takes under certain conditions, but it is not base reality itself. Yep, it is an illusion, but it's a very purposeful illusion, and as such should indeed be treated as if it were real. If we don't accept it as real, we won't learn the essential lessons that it has to teach us. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

lol - very well said. I made the mistake for a while, of treating it as though it’s all non-reality. I assume that’s an early lesson most of us go through?

Thankie muchly, I'm grateful that you appreciate it! It's very good that you caught on and shifted your perspective, as treating it all as non-reality means that it doesn't matter whether we honor the sacredness of life and existence or not, or how we treat other people and life. Yep, I think it is an early, and important, lesson that we all must learn. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
