Bored with life !!!

[proammar]

Hmmm i don't know if this is a problem or its a good thing ..

Simply nothing in this world is attractive enough for me .. Its like nothing is really important for me , i am just living day by day like a cat or a frog .. I really don't feel like i do anything anything from this physical world . i really don't care about making so much money or having a 10 millions $ home or getting an expansive car . i don't care about what kind of food i eat . i don't need a love from the outside , i do have so much love inside of myself i don't care that much about sex .

Simply this physical game we are playing right now is waaaay too boring & simple. i feel like a 50 years old man sitting in a kindergarten class.

ANY ADVICE !!!?

Take your time, everything moves in cycles.

enjoy what you got there it's better than getting sucked up into this physical earth realm, i hate it when that happens to me, but it does ! as a matter of fact it happened today and i'm glad i had a helping hand to drag me out of this!

...yet is there really nothing that interest you? nothing at all to really sink your teeth in? study something weird maybe, or are you artistic? traveling? oh no, that requires the darn money....

i read something earlier today, about our past-lifes and how intellectual knowledge is as temporary as our physical body, so perhaps you could look out for life-experiences, something that your soul can keep...that way the boredom would at least not be absolutely pointless or you could become an IS-moderator surely a life-experience and 24/7work to do!

oh, have you read the book "the power of now"? it explains quite well how to enjoy the nothingness/stillness/the quiet mind!

blessings
may you find what you are to find
love!

I know the feeling, I get it a lot.

What I hate about life is peoples dependance upon money... if money wasnt an issue people would have more fulfilled lives... because if they just concentrated on shelter and food, but still lived like we do today... can you imagine? Free holidays, free club memberships, free sky television and entertainment, free childcare etc - thats how life would be if people went on voluntary living and forget money. Life wouldnt be boring then. Though, a few assholes will ruin it for the rest of us, coz that would mean free drugs, free alcohol etc - so I understand that it wont solve a lot of the worlds problems.
But, thinking about it in another sense... people usually turn to drink and drugs for life fulfilment, or is the only life pleasure they can afford, so they get into that kind of rut.
But I think, there will be less depression and suicides in the world if money became uninvented.

awakening has stages...and dissatisfaction with material reality is definitley one of these...

Bigger and better things are on their way, don't despair!

[proammar]

sounds like you are depressed?
wanting to relate?
You truely know there is more. but apathy seems to grip you?

time for a change....find something that brings awe into your soul.
dive into a project, make a list of the 100 things you always thought about doing. and get to studying and figuring out how to make those things a reality.
i suspect your not bored.. only boring people get bored.
parts of what you said remind me of walden.
have you ever read on waldens pond?

Actually i did think about being depressed but naaaah it have nothing to do with depression , i don't have depression signs , i am not sad or hate myself or miserable .. & most of all i do love myself to death .

its a shitty feeling ... its like watching all other " or most " out there enjoying the little physical things in this world while i can't, like if win a million $ car it maybe make me happy for 5 mins & thats it after that i will just dump , same thing with people i get bored of people really fast i feel people are waaaay too simple & shallow , & the same with relationships i feel girls out there are waaaaaaay too simple for me & they bore me really fast . i thought about what i REALLY want from this physical reality butt naaah there is nothing that important to run after ..

I guess i am stuck ... its like going back 2000 years into the time machine & living with people from 2000 years ago .

We the members of this broad should buy a small island & live in it . maybe i won't get bored of people easily if we do this hehehe .

[Everything is ok]

I have this problem to. I'm not exactly sure what its about it for me.
I find people to be very boring and predictable. They all seem so shy
hiding behind their very loud masks, like the wizard of oz. It makes me
feel like im a guest here when I watch everyone scurrying here and there.
Where are they going? I feel like im left out of the loop and the joke is on
me. I can laugh at myself so im ready for the punchline.
Everyone seems so righteous and motivated at being the best drone they
can be and it confuses the hell out of me.

I feel your pain.

Actually so many people are feeling this way lately .. its like our minds are getting away from the physical reality . the gap is getting bigger & bigger . & i am losing the connection to the physical world . i don't know if its a good thing or bad thing .

I am going through a process right now to totally detach from the "reality" which is the material plane. This is not "ungrounding" and flying away from the physical, actually I am at the same time for the first time in my life really grounding my soul into this earth. But the "universal knowledge" explained it to me like this: "The material world is an illusion. It's like shadows of the real reality behind it. The real reality is energetic, it's how we FEEL. Real bliss, abundance and freedom is not to have lots of money, to have a big beautiful house, to go on vacation etc. but it's a STATE we are in, how we FEEL. That's is what we are craving for, the feeling of abundandance, beauty and bliss. So stop chasing for money and material things. But instead, BE in bliss. And you will soon see the material as shadows, what they really are. They are only the vessel, the constructs for the true reality which is how we feel in a situation." First I didn't understand how I can totally detach from money and other material wishes I have (because after all, we SPEND money to buy food etc.., right???), but they explained me that all this belongs to a material reality which we are now leaving. It is not the reality in the new energy we are entering now. So before, money WAS a reality because we WERE living in the material, but now it really becomes an illusion. Because the true reality is waiting for us, which was always there but we couldn't really BE in it all the time. But now we can. And we do not have to be dependent on money anymore. Because true abundance (energetic) will ALWAYS surround us with SAFETY, beauty, joy and LOVE. Everything else CANNOT enter the energy of abundance. It's not possible that the feeling of poverty, angst, etc. can enter a field of abundance when we have connected with source and it's bliss. Cause it's the plane of REALITY (not illusion and material!) when we have connected to the source of bliss and abundance. Then all other things which are not abundance cannot enter into our field of energy anymore. And we are truly safe and blissful. And not thinking about money anymore. This is freedom, eh?

Yeah i already got to this point & i don't know if its good or bad . i think its bad in the short run & good for the long one . i feel like i am living in a dream , i feel like nothing around me including myself is real , its like just electrical signals exactly like playing a video game life & video games are exactly the same . none of them is real & in both of them we are just players but the REAL us are in here .

& the more i know & make sure that this physical reality is not real the less i get involved it or give it attention . damn nothing interests me anymore into this reality .

[Lightstar]

Dear Proammar,

I think it's not a bad thing that you are not interested in the material things and the life-style which is prevailing now. I think many "Indigos" feel more or less that way. But perhaps you could just somehow discover inside yourself WHAT IT IS that fuels your passion? Perhaps you just wanna be FREE? In which fassion can you do/live this? (just an example).
I mean, everybody's got something he wishes for...those can be entirely non-material things like freedom, excitement (adventure, to "experience" many things) etc. etc. There must be something that is making you sing inside when you think of it...once you discover that, you will feel much more "alive" and you will start to think how you can LIVE those things here on the material plane.
I am speaking here of my own experience. I was a depressed child and teenager. I was SO sad and depressend every morning when I had to get up. Meanwhile I have discovered who I am and what is really IMPORTANT to ME (and not to my parents or "society" or simply most of the people out there...) and I have started to really respect that which is ME and my longings and desires (which I feel have been ridiculed cause for most of the people it's too "abstract" what I wish for or too "dreamy"...). So now I get up with a peaceful and happy feeling.
I hope this gives you some ideas?? I hope that you find very soon your zest of life and be the energetic and excited self you really are.

[UntoldGlory]

Hey Proammar,

I've had some of those days myself. What you need is a nice cold beer and the company of a few attractive women....

Oh. You want the "spiritual" reason for our being here in this mortal coil, huh?

Let me share something with you that I discovered in my studies of the Jewish faith. I believe it's a universal concept that can speak to people from a variety of spiritual backgrounds, or no spiritual background at all. A few years ago I began studying the Jewish roots of my Christian faith in an attempt to better understand Jesus in his role as a Jewish Rabbi. One of the concepts that I uncovered was the idea of "Tikkun Olam," and it totally turned my world upside down! In a nutshell, Judaism teaches that our mission here on earth is "Tikkun Olam," the "mending" or "perfecting" of creation.

All religions have some concept of a "world to come" (in Judaism called Olam Ha Bah). Some might call it the Kingdom of Heaven; others, the New Age. Where Judaism differs from many other religions is in its teaching that God has, in a sense, "delegated" the task of creating this beautiful new world to each one of us. God's Children are sent into this world to carry out the task of mending, or perfecting, it. And when our task is done, we will be resurrected (or "reincarnated," if you prefer) to experience the wonderous new world that our efforts have helped to bring about.

Here are some links on "Tikkun Olam." Perhaps it might help you to gain a better perspective on your mission, as you "tread this way the ways of man and know the ways of God." "Tikkun Olam" is a spiritual concept, but it has a very practical dimension! It challenges God's Children to stand up for justice and to take seriously their role in this world. This world is so precious in God's eyes - it is not a transitory blip on the cosmic radar. Don't let any pastor, rabbi, or guru tell you that this life you've been given is trivial or something to be cast aside. Life is not payable on death. You and I have a purpose and a mission in this world, part of which is to enjoy the wonders of creation while acting alongside the creative hand of God to bring new and ever more beautiful forms into existence.

So, take a look at these links and see if the idea of "Tikkun Olam" speaks to you as it did to me. The first link is from a Kabbalistic perspective and is based on the philosophy of a Jewish sage named Isaac Luria:

[Optimystic]

Yeah - get outside of yourself and do something for others.

[freedom]

wrong optimystic...proammar needs to get inside of himself and do something for himself!!!!
untold glory, you hit the nail on the head!!! cold beers and woman. well, i find that works for me.
i think the problem is the difficulty in being physical. we are so aware of our spiritual selves that we sometimes get resentful about the "earthly" side of things. well, heres a cold fact....we are here, and we are flesh, and we are restricted, and we have to use money, and yes we have to deal with the fact that we are more evolved than some.
so for me, i take the bull by the horns when i get like this and get physical!!!! get high, get intellectual, so spend the money you dont have. feel the human. and then the spirit and the flesh will align and you will feel the balance. LOVE

[Ian]

Well said freedom. It's not about trancending the physical, it's about bringing the two together.

Living in a physical world and trying to pretend there's something wrong with the experience is... well hilarious. It's where you are so find the beauty in it.

Optimystic has a good point too though, sometimes getting outside of your own head is the way to go when you're stuck.

[proammar]

Yeah - get outside of yourself and do something for others.

Hmm i kinda agree with him . & yeah my " problem " if its a problem is that i am waaay too much inside of myself . like if you lock me in an empty room for years & years by myself i won't get sick of it or go crazy naah i can just live inside of my head .

& About the outside world , yes i do go out alot have friends & keep working for the $$ ...etc almost like everyone else , but i really feel the outside world is not real & not so worthy of spending so much energy in it . simply i feel this physical reality is waaay too stupid to get so involve in it . its like i don't care if i live in a million $$ house or a small cave & i don't care if i drive a million $ car or a junkie car .. i don't care if i get married or be by myself till die . nothing is attractive enough to make it my goal .

Find things that distract yourself. At least you go to a forum, that's exciting right? At least reading the posts in this thread should make you smile.

If you are like myself, you probably have a ton of books,DVDs,etc. that you rarely use. Be organized and get rid of stuff you don't need. What you want to keep, try to enjoy.
