The movie 'Life of Pi' is an illustration of the human need for purpose. When Pi reached the coast ,he was heartbroken to see the tiger he took care of, go into the forest without looking back at the person because of whom he survived. Later on, he realized that he was alive because of the tiger.
Our lives on this Earth are Ego-dependent. We thrive due to a purpose/something to correct/ a vision to manifest/a desire /something to attain/attachment. The lack of these may make us crazy because we are very intelligent.
Not the achievement, but the process of attainment makes us manifest our divinity, experience the flow state and discover our capabilities. It creates a space for expansion.
A life in which everything is provided for, nothing needs to be done and there is no wanting is not a life on Earth.
We have come here with the acceptance of the reality of contrast and that we have the wherewithal to survive and come out even more able than when we entered. We have come to play in this game /dream /vacation knowing that we are immortal and one with the infinite. This knowing and connection with Source is the secret of faith and true power.
The Ego is just a necessary tool for survival, it is a part of the game.
Spirituality helps in realizing the gap between the Being and the Ego. All of it is done by being truly present in the present. The key is to be and not control so much. To receive while being present and not to judge. Our job is to enjoy the ride while we are on it. We came for it.
Analyzing, complaining, criticizing, judging, etc. are unconscious behaviors. Use the Ego to better your life but know that you are using it, so that it doesn't use you. Use it to live a better life, the way you want it. Get it because you can but always know that the real end is not the the goal.
The end is the present. The end is life. The present is life.
