The majority of people are bereft of the completeness that they contain. Many have chosen a limbo-world of embodying ideals that have been foisted upon them. They, the majority, have not come to terms with the actuality of themselves. To work toward that goal requires that one suss out their ‘inner workings’ . . . why they tick the way that they do. It is necessary that they work toward achieving their own sublime certitude.
What is sublime certitude? It is a calm knowing that the spiritual seeker (oneself) is making progress along their chosen path. They are comfortable in their quiet search for knowledge. The knowledge that they attain cannot be tainted by any dissuasive, dogmatic agendas. The quest affirming research of the spiritual seeker more firmly establishes them in their path. Progress on the path does not feed the ego of the seeker. Their efforts illumine them with an unassuming assuredness.
The journey is a gateway to attaining knowledge on various levels. What most have come to know derives mainly from rote information. Those given facts are bits and pieces of truths that the masses have deemed to be socially valid. The societal validity of these ‘truths’ is, at the same time, confining; any information that strays too far from what is accepted is labelled non-sensical, unimportant, useless. Yet, it is through study of events, and, most of all, self that real knowledge is acquired.
Who are you?? Who am I?? These questions are multifaceted. This is because you or I want to identify with the many faces that we choose to wear, the many titles that we assume, the many roles that we play. We are fractured mirrors because of identifying with varied presentations of ourselves. These questions are the outline for life. They can lead one a liberated sense of self when they are actually pondered and contemplated. The individual who pursues these questions embarks upon the mending of the fractured self.
Yet, (the) many people choose to not entertain the possibility of an existence outside of acceptable, external validation. Acceptance based on following a prescribed format does not warrant self directed effort in defining ‘self’. There is comfort in being part of a group that normalizes tactile reality, materiality, and conformity over the inner, self-defined, spiritual nature. It is the individual who must motivate themselves beyond the entrenched mindset of normality.
People possess the capacity to exemplify their innate wholeness. Everyone contains the seeds for developing their own completeness. Completeness, not in the sense of separation. One needs to be relatable to others from the standpoint of their individual wholeness. Society teaches that to be complete requires ‘an other’. To depend upon an outside influence to complete us is to relinquish one’s personal power. We are each complete within ourselves and, from this vantage, can contribute to society at large, more effectively.
People should strive to realize their own inner completeness. The ease of living within imposed concepts of normality can be a hindrance. Many people do not want to live beyond confines of acceptable, accepted reality. There is requisite amount of work needed for one to actualize the fullness of self. The satisfaction of resting in sublime certitude is a state of self-fulfillment.
