If you're not working at doing nothing, then you are so not understanding the flow of Nature. In fact, you become the antithesis of that flow. The more we spin from the center of natural flow, the tighter our tether stretches, and we will be drawn back to nothingness by living rightly, or it will snap and we will extinguish ourselves. There is no “solution;” it’s a myth.

Intuition, and Time the Killer

In the real world, the natural world, one begins to lose touch with the calculated bridle of secular time in what often takes only one setting and rising of the sun. This adjustment can be an uncomfortable feeling, at first—a proverbial culture shock--for anyone who has strictly succumbed to the adherence of schedule and routine in the modern world to the point of depending upon time-pieces in order to function, in order to feel as though one has place, purpose, and occupation. Without measured time, the modern human often feels lost, bored, and lacking positive or productive progression. This is called a rut, a conditioned, psychological dependency and sickness.

In the wild, loss of time feels disturbing for the first few days, and even longer for those who do not transition from the fantasy world to the real world well or regularly. But in the real world, when we lose the constraints of time, we begin to liberate our spirits, feeling less and less tethered to the commitment of perpetuating the mechanism of the fabricated society. As we release our spirits from that burden, we allow ourselves to open other portals of awareness. When we can clear our thoughts and worries of the secular world and temper our emotions, we allow awareness to flourish. Our senses begin to function again, in a similar fashion to our ancestors, as we settle ourselves into our surroundings and begin to see the wildlife that we’ve taken for granted or have missed for so long, in spite of its proximity. We begin to catch new scents and movements, and we begin to hear beyond the obvious. Natural things taste different and better as our senses of taste and smell are allowed to recover from the barrage of ornamental flavorings and seasonings that we use to shock our senses into some form of compulsory enjoyment, not unlike a burnout who needs increasingly intense narcotic experiences to penetrate the numbness induced by the habit.

In the real world, we assimilate to the natural rhythms; we get tired when the sun sets, and we awaken when it rises, in spite of our conditioned routines in our controlled “bubble” environments, e.g. houses, cars, offices. But what’s astounding to me is the way that our intuition blooms when we unwrap the shroud imposed upon it by life in the fabricated world. When intuition opens, we begin to follow feelings, moods, whims, and curiosities of otherwise unknown origin. There is a world outside of the physical world that encompasses all time, all events, all life, and it is from that influence that we may receive “gut feelings” or “signs” and other signals that we may or may not recognize, but that can guide us in many circumstances. Sometimes a “vibe” we pick up from another being sends us a signal that we cannot always identify in words or rational terms. Sometimes we simply feel as though we should explore a certain thing, whether it is trivial or otherwise is irrelevant. Sometimes we might get a feeling that we should avoid something, even if there is no obvious sign of danger. Often, we suddenly remember something that we had been trying to figure out—on the tip of the tongue--or that slipped our minds. In any case, following these signals can lead us to avoiding dangerous situations, about which we could not have possibly known otherwise, or they can lead us into extremely positive situations. Sometimes the mere following of a whim of intuition may open a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or a life-saving one, that would have otherwise gone unnoticed had we been restricted to the brainwashing governing of secular time and routine.

In the real world, we become real again. We connect to the cycles of reality in far more than a physical way, and we are allowed to tap-in to the natural signals or vibrations of the natural world that cannot be opened in the secular existence. In the fabricated world of man, we condition ourselves to subdue and even snuff our intuition, and we often only hear of those “gut feeling” as anecdotes resulting from encounters of life-threatening situations.

In nature, those messages and feelings are commonplace, part of everyday existence, numerous, and they lead us to the most amazing discoveries and information, from which we otherwise cut ourselves off because of losing touch with reality. This is another example of why living in the artificial world with artificial technologies and artificial belief systems is literally ruining our species and devastating life on this planet, and it is an example of something we’ve lost in our inherent selves that we need in order to feel connected to something bigger that loves us unconditionally, which can’t be found in the manmade world, and without which, we feel lonely, lacking, and without purpose.
