The purpose of life is to expand and rise above the horizon, to grow into new perspectives and new experiences and views. Not to stay in the pupation state of security.

Some general thoughts, as an other year is going to an end in 3 days.

I know it’s been one of the hardest years ever for many of us.

I’m observing how stubborn and almost proud people are with their rejections, phobia, ignorance, personal limitations and traumas. Like “I have built this opinion in my youth! And no way I will revise it now (20 years later)

Well this is sort of common with many people, isn’t it?

My answer to this is: the purpose of life is not to narrow it down, not to sit in a small niche of “security”, restriction or to freeze in a canned state of a long ago stadium of our life. It’s like always living in a pupation state for ever, to never become a butterfly.

The purpose of life is to expand and rise above the horizon, to have new perspectives and new experiences and views. Why would we otherwise incarnate in this density?

An other example: someone has made bad experiences in relationships/connections and got hurt and abused. (it happened to all of us) It’s been years ago and now you are in your 40-ies or above, and you are still lashing out on the demographics group that has hurt you, on daily basis, posting memes about how bad this is and holding your shield of hurt proud up to the world, for everyone who would eventually give you a good experience to ricochet and get hurt on its hard edges.

I seriously know people whose ugly separation was 15 years ago but they still don’t waste a day to project a hurt and traumatized persona to the world and to justify their rudeness and alcoholism. It almost seams like being damaged is a “badge of honor”.

Let me tell you that it’s your job to heal yourself! Or to seek out help. Not to dwell in it. You are making the world an uglier place by staying in this state of pain.

It’s also not your job to constantly punish the world for having abused you at some point and to justify your disturbed behavior with your past experiences. Same for jerking attention for your undeveloped persona on every occasion. Because it’s a pervert satisfaction to enjoy being the eternal victim. Still this unhealthy habit is widely spread.

Many people literally define their personality via their limitations.

Seriously, you are proud of being a spiritual cripple?

I’m not talking about the time after an abusive event, when we are telling a story and processing it. That is powerful and part of the healing.

I’m talking of long term compulsive repetitive reproducing of the traumatic event.

You are a grown up, right? Then go and get help! Or start the self healing process. There is always help, if we seriously want it and it can come from unexpected sources. All it takes is the decision to be a grown ass person and not any longer a self pitying, thriving on victim mentality, attention seeking stuck individual.

How else will the world change, if we are not progressing personally? How will we master the next challenges 2023 will bring? Everyone complains about the state of this world, but each and everyone contributes to its general energy climate.

Unfollow me if you feel offended by this post.

Because in that case I was talking about you. Or take it as an inspiration to become a more developed person that is passionate about growing with life and its tasks.
