“Everything we need is within, everything we desire is somewhere
else. One denotes an internal journey and the other an external journey,
spirituality is an internal journey!! “
This quote came to me while I was replying to another post
about a similar topic, I had to reread the quote I had just written to realise
what it said which is quite normal for me as most of what I write isn’t planed.
I tend to forget myself that when I desire that is of my
external journey and has absolutely nothing to do with my internal journey or
shouldn’t have in my mind, this external journey however can be quite disruptive
to our internal journey at times. The
reason I believe this to be so is one is ego driven the other isn’t, I believe
they are only opposing and disruptive when the ego is the master, in full
control over all our senses.
Can we experience our external journey without disrupting our
internal journey?
Yes I believe so, by just expressing the ego self without
the ego actually playing the role of the master. This isn’t however as easy as
it seems mainly because of the ego controlled influences we have in our daily
lives. The easiest way to overcome this is being aware of our external journey in
the first place and secondly being aware of our own controlling ego and lastly
we should be aware of the external influential forces controlled by the ego.
This all sounds too hard and complex to obtain however all what one needs to do is
be aware of the controlling factors of the ego, once we are truly aware of this
we will be able to quite easily experience our external journey without interrupting
our internal journey.
The external journey is worth experiencing in my books even
though it is often referred to as an illusion, what makes it unpleasant is our
outer control controlling egos, which of course is what gives us chaos. Just being aware of the controlling factors of
the ego, collectively, will one day give us peace and harmony I believe.
Note: The opposite or antonym of chaos is order which
also represents harmony. The reason we have
chaos is quite obvious to me.
