shorty: I answered their question: "I feel like I'm in spiritual overtime. It's bonus time. I beat most of the main puzzles, I'm not caught in those traps. And now I get to just operate in the world without being caught in the world."
more:
This is quite a 180. I used to be so stuck in the world that I couldn't see any other way. My conception of being "outside" the world was like that of an angsty teenager, dripping in alternative street-cred talismans. "Look," I might say. "The mainstream is yuck." While I revel in the angst-version of the mainstream.
But now, now I can say I'm pretty far outside the main stream. I'm against the stream. I do, sometimes, still get caught. But I don't make the same mistakes of perception.
I'm in spiritual bonus time. I've got nothing I need to do or prove. (And, in a 100 year horizon, nothing I "do" in the world can't be "undone". I'm sobered by that too. The world has it's own causes, it's own karma.)
