Discovering Truth Within iLLusion

A leap into the unknown USA

Discovering Truth Within iLLusion So, as much as my soul is delved into nature, this story is about a different type of unknown, to me, and that is this American society. I have travelled to different parts of the Earth during this incarnation, including Costa Rica, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, France, etc., but the greatest learning experience was actually my short travel within the limits of this society. I can write all day about the boundless beauty of nature, which is within us all, but for the purpose of this being a travel story I have chosen to write my story, well, a part of it. Since childhood I always felt like an odd ball, life seemed so different than what I remembered deep within, the glory of natures wild beauty. Growing up, the more I realized how corrupt this system is, the more I wanted to distance my self from it, for nature, to be in the great wilderness. Truly, the only real system here is the ecosystem, which I have realized I am already a part of even if I’m not surrounded by mountains, valleys, and jungles… though id love to be, and will be soon enough. But for now, I tell a story of my experience, my travel within society, because like this I can and will bring awareness to what is true. When the time came that I turned 18, and I was not going to school or having a job, because of my strong desire to not be a part of a destructive system and want to be one with untamed Earth, my parents and I agreed on my leaving of home. However, I knew, my true home is in my heart, and after that, Earth, because I’m here for now. So, off I went, with an idea in mind to connect with nature. What I literally wanted to do was walk away from society, into nature, preferably with a friend to share the experience with. This is still very possible, to simply walk away into the depths of nature, but I understand now it was not my time to do so, yet. Instead, I stayed within the limits of this county and a neighboring county, in South Florida, however with a freer mind than most, though I still held my own self-limiting thoughts. Whats important to gather from this story is not actually the journey but the lesson within the journey. The journey is amazing, and it is of course a crucial and huge step but what is the point if there is no lesson learned? Even to simply have fun, there is a lesson learned, which is to remember to have fun, to be footloose! This lesson goes deeper than that though, I remembered my soul purpose here, once again, just to a greater extent. Travelling thru and around my county, this suburban town, I remembered its up to me to change. Being in the natural beauty of Earth does change people, the pureness of life is breathtaking and can shift one’s perspective in a flash. However, this change of perspective is already within me, all that I was searching for was already within me… and I had a feeling, but indeed I wanted to experience this for myself. I realized not all aspects of society are destructive, and truly there are so many amazing beings out here helping in the evolution of this planet, myself being one of them, this too, I already knew. What matters is what we choose to focus on, that is what will determine our life experience here. Will we focus on that which brings life, or that which brings death? I will always choose life, which is love. Thank you so much for reading, I had a nice time writing this, purely for the enjoyment of sharing this story. I hope whoever reads this enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it and experiencing it. Blessings, family <3
