Life Seeing Life
Life Seeing Life
Life seeing life is about seeing the true nature to life simply before you and deriving your purpose and wellbeing from being a part of life and exploring more of life’s creations before you. If life was a river, we are not separate from the water but a part of it, we flow just as life flows and it is to appreciate this flowing nature of all of life and reality from a place of simplistic perception rather than over analysis or overemphasizing the material purposes we set ourselves in life. It is to place higher meaning to the pursuit of life before you and not to derive sense of self or wellbeing from the missions we set. Determine for yourself a constant foundation of peace and happiness in simply pursuing this moment, and learn to overcome the components of fluctuating wellbeing based purely in mind, emphasis and expectation.
Expectations and Emphasis
We as people place expectations on ourselves and on life. We set goals and purpose that define what we work towards on a day-to-day basis and what grants our sense of who we are in turn deriving our fulfilment from this progress we make. When we expect ourselves to achieve something and place our wellbeing on the outcomes of that achievement then we are liable to fluctuate in emotions based on the progress being made; guilt in lack of progress and overload in progress to keep that guilt away. We achieve what we set out to do, we find happiness for a short duration, then we pursue the next task so that we may upkeep our sense of self, upkeep the purpose which besets how we feel on any given day, the more emphasis we place on the purpose, the more of our identity and wellbeing we attach to it, when attached to things we allow our mental stability to be determined by them. Therefore, when attached to a future prospect and suffering in the failed pursuit of that goal, then it is you yourself which causes your own suffering as it is the illusions you play which disrupts the current reality you are a part of.
Purpose Beyond Purpose
To obtain constant mental stability we must not play to illusions, we must not play to future prospects or endeavors or for things to pan out a certain way. Finding constant fulfilment is derived from the constant we are always a part of, if we stem our satisfaction for life off the sole purpose of pursuing it and seeing it before us then wellbeing is found in the constant moment we pursue, rather than future endeavors we attach ourselves to. Fulfillment found in the constant current moment once learned is fulfillment which may always be found at all times and in all scenarios on any given day. Place a purpose beyond your material pursuits which allows oneself to feel constantly fulfilled at all times in life. This purpose must be simple, and it must involve the constant moment. Life seeing life is a simple purpose of seeing life before you, being a part of it and experiencing all that is before you while this fascinating opportunity presents itself in this little segment of awakeness which we call life. This purpose takes priority over material pursuits, as you first need to know how to see life before you can pursue it correctly. If you are to die and all that you do is to be forgotten then what is the true purpose of your material pursuits? With this question we can then ask, so what is our purpose in life? Well, it is to experience it, and this venture can be filled with doubt and struggle as we unconsciously pursue things we regard as grand importance, or it can be filled with a consistent foundation of bliss as simply seeing life before us represents a divine purpose. From seeing life we can still pursue our goals within it, the difference is you derive your fulfillment from simply being in life, experiencing it on a consistent basis where simply seeing it grants a constant fulfillment. This is where internal perspective grants our fulfillment rather than our external environment and pursuits. A solid founding perspective can enlighten your view of life consistently as it is constant, our external environment is a continual process of impermanence, so to attach ourselves too heavily to the continual outcome of change is to flicker in emotions, and fluctuate rapidly according to the day by day.
The Whole
A quantum field made up of particles and waves represents our universe. We are not separate, yet just another part of it, also made up of particles and waves. The movement of the particles and these waves represents the constant fluctuating nature of reality, it is as though the universe is an immense ocean and being part of this ocean we have the opportunity to flow with it. The funny thing is regardless of what we do or think, we are flowing with it either way, cause it is the substance which forms our existence, the same substance which forms the existence of all things, meaning inherently you are no different from that which is before you. A spec of grass, a person before you, the screen you are watching or a distant star in the sky, it is all one. When we say life seeing life, it is existence experiencing other parts of its own existence, other parts of itself, this is why when you take notice of what is before you it is divine, because it is all of creation experiencing more of creation, this is the founding place for peace and clarity. Being a ripple in the ocean means you really don’t have any grand pursuits; life itself is the grand pursuit, and it is a liberating sensation to see it. So do not feel the need to place so much struggle and expectation on oneself and our material pursuits we think up and develop, rather find your fulfilment in simply being in life, being a part of all things, the whole. Find fulfilment in a continual perspective of seeing life before you, then pursue it, do not pursue life with the necessity of things within the material world to grant your fulfilment. Life becomes a dance rather than a battle, a rhythm to move with rather than a storm to fight against.
