Sue Dreamwalker:
Most people never look within themselves to find anything… They constantly wait to be told…following the main-stream has become the norm…Not to question, but just follow the herd…
To stand alone and think means you are different, and those who are different from the norm are given labels.
We live in a labelled society where not to conform means we object or are activists or some other type of trouble maker. We are always being given labels in our cultures, in our religions and woe betide if we cannot buy those labelled garments and goods so we can give ourselves another label of being trendy and the rest..
We have become so adjusted to plugging into the media and believing everything we are told, and we are so controlled as to what to buy, what to wear, what to eat as advertising takes the mind over from having to Think…
To think beyond this illusion of reality is beyond the minds of many…
At times I am amazed at how many awakened souls are out there… But they are Waking UP! and that’s one thing as I visit various blogs and listen to youth groups etc.. People are at last asking the right questions and persisting on getting some answers and when they really start and LOOK and SEE reality as not how the History books taught them… Then they look within themselves and start that deeper journey of discovery.. ALL GOOD!..
And once they do find themselves… Well… We are on our road home!…
Me:
Not bothering about labels, not adjusting and conforming to the current norms, all in all, no longer responding to this idiotically demeaning standards and expectations requires great courage. Great courage as you are turned into an “outsider” at best,
or a pariah at worst.
At least for a while, you really are on your own, as leaving the herd
you are repudiated, losing your “reputation”, you will be labeled as a misfit,
a failure, or – as you say – a trouble maker.
Society loathes dissenter and individualists, and till you get to know people with similar viewpoints to understand and back you, it may take years of indignity, pain and tribulation.
Alas… ask me about that… Years and years of infamous loneliness and misunderstanding…But I guess that´s the high price you pay, for being unflinchingly truthful to yourself.
So, I really say Amen to this:
“People are at last asking the right questions and persisting on getting some answers and when they really start and LOOK and SEE reality, as not how the History books taught them. .. Then they look within themselves and start that deeper journey of discovery.”

I’ve always fought to find myself for years making and losing ground because I didn’t know where to start or what needed to be done. But facing some serious challenges, I realized that I needed to find myself and walk my own path and not follow others.
So, from that time until even now with each discovery of self I knew I couldn’t go back. I am so much more than what I saw in the eyes of some and wondered what others saw in me that they appreciated and respected me. I still have to fight to maintain who I am. There will always be pressure to conform to an undefined norm and blind follow. Therefore, I will press forward to be free and to stay free. Free to be me because I now know being me is important for me to be.
Me:
I never thought for a moment that “the journey” has been easy, oh no.
It is like going through inferno, with no one to guide you.
Where to start and what is needed to be done?
For sure, that is the most essential question… – what a strange coincidence as punctually, I asked myself earlier today the same thing.
So I do understand and sympathize with you when saying that you realized that you needed to find yourself and walk your own path and not follow others.
This applies to me too: Either I listen to others and totally wither, or walk my own path in order to heal and live. No real choice other than “die or live”.
The journey invariably goes on.
The pressure to conform to the undefined norm and blind follow, lurks in each moment. With every thought or emotion.
GREAT AWARENESS IS REQUIRED MOMENT BY MOMENT.
Unfortunately we live in a society which irretrievably invalidates Life celebrating Death – that´s why it is so hard to “maintain” who one really is.
Though at some point along the path, we have to quit this fight too… -ultimately realizing that Who We Really Are cannot be threatened, that as long as we are anchored in True Being, we cannot be other than Alive. Protected! Free!
Utterly speaking, Nothing can menace us, as there is no menace to speak about,
other than Illusion.
Fully acquiring this insight, the whole idea of fight crumbles,
AS THE REAL NEEDS NOT TO BE DEFENDED. Only the False does.
The one who capitulates, eventually wins it all.

Sometimes you come to the point where beyond the argument of deluded
self-importance, extravagance or bloated subjectivity, you simply know that the
current viewpoint promulgated by science or “spiritual” authority is “wrong”,
and you are “right”.
After all, there is no map to anything…
If you want to find out Who You Are and what Your True Destiny is about, you have to question Tradition and Societal Norm which are there to hinder, restrict and discourage you from finding yourself and what is right for you – your individual path.
Most people are never really “born” as they blindly follow the mainstream – “mainstream” meaning failure and perdition for individuality.
If you don´t wisely challenge and rebel against the present order, finding your most specific individuality, you are lost – you will miss the whole point with Life.
Can you thus assume the responsibility of knowing this, of trusting your inner voice and not the rational and dogmatic bunkum of conformity, even if that means derision, tribulation, humiliation and loneliness?
The price is huge, but BEING WHO YOU REALLY ARE IS HOMECOMING – the real answer to it all.
