Where do you belong? Answer: Herenow

Feeling like you don't belong anywhere is a common thought process for many people, especially young people. The "outlier" becomes who we are. This was an obsession of mine in my youth. I've come to see it as complete BS.

I think it was one of the big reasons I made the mistake of joining the military (and re-enlisting for fuck's sake!)

Everyone might seem to belong to this or that group, but most people feel they don't fit in there, either. Why?

It's because wherever and whenever you are in life is exactly where you belong. I've taken to calling it "herenow" since time and space are one.

So, next time you are feeling isolated, realize that you are herenow, always have been, and always will be.

This constant re-focus has been a big part of my "spiritual practice". It is a practice because you must catch yourself when you are desperately trying to fit in somewhere and are still suffering.

Focus back on herenow.

Awakening is the Nervous System Going Calm

As the ego dies, the inner peace begins to calm the nervous system. Egoic inner chaos distorted and contorted the body over the years. In calmness, the nervous system began to heal. The energy/ thought/ body left behind the thoughts. The body is energized again! The mind chaos of always looking for the next thing to get began to silence. Quiet is calm. This new ideal mind state begins to open and be experienced for short periods of time. As my being felt the superiority of the calm and peaceful focus, spiritual practice began. It's a practice since it's the long term effort to look at the old chaotic mind and allow its thousands of judgements to subside. For me they boiled to the surface of my awareness like molten hatreds. It has been called the process of ego death, too. I don't feel it important to label and categorize these things, so it doesn't matter what you call the process. A release of the importance of words is part of the process of the mind

Silence into Geometry and Gone Again (Spiritual Poem)

A Universe, one version. A Multiverse, many verses. Songs and sounds creating geometry. Geometries arising the physical. Silence and stillness carries infinite open potential. An endless sea just before geometry. Peace resides just before the noise chaos. The mind, chaotic noise. Can you accept your still silence in coexistence? In partnership? Arising from silence: creation. Closing down our noise: we return.
