WhiteOwl Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I have some difficulty in my mind when looking at the need to help the climate vs not paying attention to it and focusing on other things i want to create. I am considering going into some work doing calculations of where people have the possibility of saving the most resources / energy. But on the other hand, people and myself are able to consciously create their own reality, so it it necessary to try to help something that is that big, and that is ultimately a belief (since none of us actually has a clue whats going on with the climate, we have to conclude and believe things)? A big reason for doing that sort of job would be because i would like to help, if not for that i might want to do something different. So i guess im a little confused if we are all manifesting/creating in a world of boundaries or not.

Faith Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 @WhiteOwl First off, if I haven't told you already, "Welcome to the forum!"😊 Anyways, I feel that ppl are drawn into what areas need them the most or that would fit them best. Like, I would never have been drawn into anything regarding climate. Not because I'm an asshole and don't care at all, but it doesn't spark a fire in me that would motivate me to want to do that. However, other ppl I'm sure it does. I am a nurse (now doing QA/coding) and I'm sure many ppl wouldn't ever do that. See? I say do what you really have a passion for or you won't be happy and over time the choices change sometimes and that's okay too. I'm really not sure if I answered your question, but I enjoyed writing this, lol. 🤣 Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

WhiteOwl Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 @FaithI feel very welcome 🙂 I like the analogy with being a nurse, that makes a lot more sense. I just realized maybe ive put environmental work on some pedestal. We are all contributing in the fields we are drawn to, like you said. Yea i think my question does boil down to being afraid of not choosing the thing that makes me the most happy. But like you said, its always possible to make a change. Thank you for your reply, enjoyed it also. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Nice! Glad I helped. I've also found that changing careers is sometimes a part of evolving as a person. What you were drawn to as a 20 yr old may not be what you're drawn to as a 40 yr old. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

One way to put it… there’s one lens and one world. The lens makes it seem like you’re in the world, which makes it seem like there’s more than one lens. World is perfection (made of if you will), and we’re always changing it no matter what we do. I agree with doing what you’re drawn to, what you love. Also, climate change is a co-creating endeavor. And for one drawn to it, a passion and career. In both situations, the personal and the world if you will, it’s about equanimity & alignment. Perfection can never be perfection. ‘And here we are’. 🙂 Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 @Phil I am not sure i understood all of it fully, but i think something clicked. Its a lot more fun to have a lighthearted attitude, not as serious as until now, towards the climate and the work. Seeing it more like a play in the dream. Thanks!

Phil Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 @WhiteOwl I agree. When serious, being sincere cuts through it like butter. Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
