I have not posted anything in this blog in a while and I had to pull back as the posts were recently becoming more about my own personal journey. I have talked about how everyone has a deep connection to nature and how many do not know it. I mentioned the four traditional elements and how we are connected to two of those and not just one(earth and fire, earth and water, air and water, air and fire). I posted about that some time ago. Now, I want to address how we each have a strong inclination to some natural force in the world. There are people who are highly perceptive of electrical currents and there are those attuned to plants. There may be people who might be keenly perceptive of anatomical workings of the body and those who specialize with sound and may be involved in music. This goes beyond finding an occupation. Understanding what you feel most connected to and keeps you feeling alive can in fact help carve your way to discovering your career of choice. If you found out what that is but still cannot figure out a career or dream occupation, then that's okay. I still have not really figured out what I want to do involving my deep connection to the earth and seismic energy. I have considered studying seismology but I don't really do well in school. It does not mean I'm not intelligent enough. I just have a hard time with concentration and being in one place for a long period of time in addition to the stress of meeting deadlines as well as the costs of going to school. I was always a right-brain oriented individual where math has never been my strong point and my talent is more in art. Besides, this involves a lot of feeling where I'm processing energy in my body from the earth instead of data on a computer. I believe it is crucial to find out what kind of connection one has to the natural world or they may lead a hollow life of superficiality and materialism and can ultimately lead to profound unhappiness. Find that source that keeps you alive. People end up feeling forced to choose a profession and they end up not enjoying it and lose sense of who they are. It has been extremely hard and frustrating trying to figure out what I can do and what I would want to do, but I realize I would be sorrowful if I made myself do something I was not interested in. It would just feel like a means to an end. I recently tried pursuing animation, but learned it wasn't what I thought it would be and therefor wouldn't care for it. I was just trying to jump ahead of myself and come up with something quick to get back to California. It was out of desperation. I miss those days where I was heavy into meditation and that spiritual lifestyle. I felt like I have drifted far away from it for a long time. Sometimes, a big tragedy is what it takes to come back around to those ways. In fact, that happens quite often. Being connected to sources outside of what has been built around us is beneficial on all levels.
