Life Is Full of Facilitations
And you depend on them until you're mature enough to be able to live without them.
I've been racking my mind trying to find words for how to describe the following phenomenon. There are facilitations set up for you when you're not ready yet to be INDEPENDENT in life. Some of these are rather wisely self-created by society to eg. propel young people and have a "safety net", and some are on a much deeper mind level. Examples of these facilitations:
- Wage slavery, your job being doing what you're told and that's it. This is literally still being a kid in school
- Parental support (if you have it)
- A romantic partner (a facilitation in reality for you to develop love, grow yourself, etc.), family, friends, "people you can talk to"
- Structures in the mind propelling you towards actions, instead of being self-energy-reliant (note: I do not mean acting on your whims, I mean having built yourself profoundly as an energetic being with core energies you can always rely on)
- A general perception of "others"
- General sanity and unawareness of the deepest energetic processes, reality's self-creation
You can live with facilitations all your life but if you're developing yourself, your spirit will be calling you for something deeper. You'll need to let go of these crutches in favour of INDEPENDENCE. Letting go of the training kid wheels on your mind-bike gives you the chance to develop CHARACTER - or your energetic system. That's what the game is about.
Example from my life: just this month I quit college even though I was on the brink of finishing it. I want no title. I will not be judged based on some dumb ass certification for fake jobs for fake people. I told my parents I was grateful but I will live my own life only and I'll do whatever I want. I want to have GENUINE skill and energy and instead so far I coasted through the education system and seemlessly got a rather good job in a big company. This is not life. This is living on crutches.
Disposing of the training wheels (when you're ready) is good. Don't settle for comfort. Be courageous. THIS is the spiritual journey. This is what life is about. The journey of you.
You'll find that you can ride the bike perfectly fine anyway.
