You just touched upon what I've felt for a very long time. I've always attributed it to this earth just not being the place for me. Even with work, i see so many ambitious people work work working, while I sit over here thinking wow, the majority of jobs on this planet are such a waste of time. I feel alien.
Stillness Speaks is one of my favorite books and don't really read much anymore ... but just having THAT BOOK cover out is so comforting STILLNESS ... SIMPLICITY, SERENITY, SILENCE, SERENE .... and even SENSUAL .... xo
I LOVE THIS !! So on ... I'm a mountain and I am filled with love .... and just sitting can be so beautiful IF I'm not comparing to the conditioning, beliefs that run through the mind .... AND yes, I've attempted to call it the 'd' word Ben, but I've had 'depression' and this feels different ... UNTIL I start running 'old thoughts' of past 'd' and then .... I do start feeling the heaviness, but when it's just stop, enjoy the stillness, and breath and looking out and feeling aaaahhhhh to all the nature around me .... MUCH MUCH LOVE !!!
"The one who created the life may not be the one who is sitting here anymore." I bust out laughing! So true, so true. There's a very simple peace that comes with this realization.
Feeling like crap to me feels like uselessness. A sense that everything is useless. Unappreciative. Which is silly of course because there is an endless list of aspects of life to give thanks for like simply being able to type this comment and communicate. Thanks Ben. One Love
I can really relate to this on a daily basis. I crave for peace and silence and I don't feel like doing anything most of the time. Just to sit and stare would be enough for me. It's hard cause my surroundings constantly seem to have a drive, will, mental state to keep doing things all the time, but I don't have that much. I'm pretty much okay as soon as I get out of bed, and don't feel like doing anything. It's not that I'm depressed, I'm just content with not doing anything at all. That's why it is hard for me to work or push myself to do anything, especially things that I find annoying or boring. I just can't get myself to it, even if I try it my head and body aren't wanting to do something, they just wanna enjoy the quite and relax. By the way, I don't do any drugs and I been to a psychologist for 1,5 years and she says I am not depressed for at least half a year. My depression then was more a consequence of the having to do something every single day, and my high sensitivity which makes me tired and annoyed quite fast with my surroundings, especially if they are crowded I can't concentrate. How do you people feel about my situation? Is it okay that I crave for this peace and silence and not doing anything, or do you think I have a problem. Only I don't know how to possibly solve this, cause it feels that if i take action it's a fight against my nature every second, which makes me feel down en makes me tired in the end. Is my soul out of life juice, or am I just done with all the earthly stuff that all don't bore me at all? Thanks for your vision on my situation guys, it might help me, cause it's still hard cause I feel I'm one of the very few that experiences life as I do and have done all my life.
Not wanting anything is the natural state. We are so conditioned to always doing something or being busy. Observe the akward satisfaction in you and others when declaring how busy you/they are. In our society being busy is equal to have worth and it is an obsession out of a lack created by mind. It does not mean not to do anything but just to follow the intuitive call to silence which is most covered up with the daily playground. It gives the (collective) mind security always to do something because it creates its existence out of it and claims to have control over time (which also is construction if the mind). The tool has become the owner and the silent poke to come to silence again is a hint to remember your own pure self and to let go of the mind and to use it instead of being used by it.
Mattorzo Hi. I dont think you have a problem. What really annoys me is that "we are supposed to do many things, and never stop". Nowadays it seems taht if you stop you have a problem. Well, I really feel like doing nothing many days. I dont like to be busy, I dont feel the urge on filling my time with many things. I do things, I have my hobbies, but quite often i like doing nothing and maybe think about life or whatever. In my opnion you dont have a problem, thinking that there is something wrong with you is the problem. The ony problem might be the comparisom with the rest of the people who are striving to fill their time. In the universe There is not a monolith in wich its written what is to be done, in life there is no script, you dont have to do anything, that my opinion.
Letal Martinez Yeah indeed. I also believe that we are "made" by society to be and to act a certain way. And if aren't on that train then most people think you're weird or something. But it's really the people that dare to do what they want that are really truly themselves and truly happy. I feel more happy being silent, and being on my own, when i feel like that. Sometimes I'm in the mood to talk and do something, but sometimes I just wanna be silent and not moving much. It took me some time to be confident enough about myself to see that I am perfect as I am, no matter how differerent I might be to the general people. In my heart I know I live true to myself.
I have been feeling that lately, just wanting silence, a quiet place. I don't feel depression, it feels good peacful and satisfying. I was wondering what that was and Benjamin just explained it perfectly....amazing, thank you!
My advice to you, if you want it, is to welcome this feeling of uselessness. I suffered from the same feeling, as most people do, but the suffering doesn't come from the feeling itself but rather the resistance to it. So just for a moment, try to be open to this feeling like crap, and you will realize it has no power by itself alone, only when you buy into it.
I find you quite funny and very interesting with how you watch your feelings and thoughts like a third party. we realise in these moments how much our life is influenced by other energies and spirits. Thank you
I don't find you merely entertaining, Ben. I find you to be purely expressive. At least it appears that way to me. There is no shame in expression and you are doing it well. Excellent video
Thanks Benjamin, for the confirmation of what i allready knew that it is fine. i am like this not wanting do antything for 2 years but i still worked, i gave spiritual couceling . I am spiritual teacher, but 2 months ago i started to not have clients anymore. so now i cant pay the rent. When i asked Higher Self what must i do i just hear: Let me handle it .... So anyone here that may got through the same experience (no money) ??? I know that my feeling says all is ok, but the bills are here and must be payd. I feel i must just trust and all will come but of course the mind still sometimes ask how can i do nothing and still have abundance in my life???

WhatTheHirsch total truth in what you say there, not be a victim of the mind but be the boss of the mind. I love silence.

Thank you Benjamin, your truth is soothing
