Hello,
Was just wondering what this.. (spreads arms and waves them around).. Means to you. Where are you going with this? What do you mean to become? Or is this just me that wants to become something? Someone told me that this is what people do that have lived there lives, had families and all of that and want to move on to something else. And Mystress said I was young to be doing this. But I feel old to be learning this now. I swear, this is stuff I NEEDED to know in high school. Anyways....
For me this is about a re-awakening of who I am. Finally an understanding about myself on all levels. A return to the energy I felt long ago. And now learning how to use this energy for myself. Instead of hitting myself with my own hammer all day.
I plan on using this to heal myself and make things better for me on all levels. To use this to be able to get along in the world on my own without all the troubles that I tend to go through every day. Use this energy to make everything else work so I can create again, in every medium that I can get a hold of. To make a new life. Other than that I think this will be a great thing to bring up at parties or meeting girls or get togethers or boat show's or whatever I want to go to do. Heh, sounds like an infomercial. ACT NOW!
In the future I see myself as some sort of Jedi Knight. I can make a sort of light saber with energy. Its cool, I just imagine it however far, and I poke it around in me and feel where it is in my body. It moves muscles and tendons and things too. Fun stuff. 1000's of household uses. It feels like static electricity and I can charge up any part of my body with it almost instantly. Which really taught me about the power of thoughts. I'd love to try this out on other people, lol.
"I'm a wizard mind you!"
In the mean time I stay in the present. And keep reading what Mystress says.
Ok, now its your turn..

This post made me smile, especially coming as it does right after my own wandering post last night that perhaps answers your question... or not.
All of this, that you write is why people say that enlightenment is for old people. Young people are so full of desire and wanting, full of the energy of action wanting to change the world. Wanting excitement and activity.
Older people have had plenty of activity, enough of drama and so they are looking for peace.
There is a quote from a book druid was reading last summer, that stuck with me. "We started out, looking for adventures... and then when we found out what adventures were like, we decided we'd rather not have any more adventures."
It is the same... you are wanting adventures, because you have not yet had adventures. When you have had enough of adventures, to be tired of the drama, then you are ready to consider the value of peace and stillness.
You want to take the path, assign meanings to it and use it for something. For me, it just Is, and the meaning I give to it is just making stories about it. I do not use it, it uses me. It is not about doing, it is about being.
The body is always doing, breathing, scratch my nose, have some breakfast, etc. Being, is being. The witness who watches the body doing and the mind thinking, is always at peace, regardless of what the body is doing and the mind is thinking.
The thinking mind that makes meanings, can never know the watcher... the thinking mind cannot hold the infinite, although it attempts to, unceasingly.
Blessings...
