So often in this high tech world, folks just want immediacy. They are not willing to put the time in to learn new skills. If you buy into the notion that the world is a mess, that the way we have all been socialized doesn't fit the people we are becoming, well, why oh why, wouldn't you try to learn a new way of being.
Of course, there are the newbies who proselytze about how to be, reading from the Bhagavad Gita or some other book. They tell you the stories of how people were until they got it. Essentially it is a dialogue of diverging viewpoints on how to attain liberation. New age writers are following in their own interpretations of it. But these proselytzers have no clue how to hear others, how to counsel them. They merely spit out the words on a book.
We've all been newbies and proselytzers one way or another. We learn something new and can't wait to share it. Put it into action. The real action begins when you do the real work. You can't get there from here any other way.
This is the age of the drama nobility. They go on and on about a particular situation, creating and recreating storylines. They run from one person to another retelling the story. A quick look in any town tells where they find their solace. I've been taking a poll this past year about how people of all ages handle disappointments and frustrations. Without a doubt everyone said the same thing. A brew pub or some such place. They run away through drinking, acquisitions, and more storylines. After a while, they move on never having learned a thing about this process.
You have to allow yourself to feel this pain. Understand your pain body is raw. And just let it be until you can heal yourself. Yes, it takes time. So does any worthwhile skill we learn.
