Aloha. Welcome to the Spirit Life Blog. Here I’ll be keeping track of what I think, what I feel and what I consider to be important. I want my audience to know me. And have a history of my development so we can learn what to expect in our journey.
To the meat and potatoes: I am a man called Benjamin. You would see me as kind, compassionate and generous. The mission of this blog is not only to share my thoughts, feelings, track my life or work on writing. It is also to track what I’m working on, how I’m working on it and why. The why often gets overlooked in our life, but it’s so important.
Let’s look at why. Why are you here? Is it because you want to know more about me? Why? Is it because you feel inspired by me? Why? All these things can be answered, by being around each other. So I decided to write more and share me more, in case the “Why are you being attracted to me?” Is wanting to be resolved.
My purpose in this life right now is to live by my values. One of the biggest values I have is that WE ARE ALL EQUAL. We all have skills and we all have a calling. And I want to do mine, which is to say “ we can do so much better.” What do I mean by that? I’m glad you asked.
Humanity needs a strong message. We need men and women willing to work together and not settle for confusion and diverging. Any time we are not working towards a goal we are usually diverging. So why is humanity not working towards concrete dreams.
Let’s take America for example. Shouldn’t each American have a roof above their head, food growing nearby, and medical care? We think so, my friends and I. So we talk about this dream. And we can measure our success. We could consider how many Americans are poor, and how do we reduce this number. Well we can not only teach people about gardening, but also compassion, economic implementations like Universal Basic Income, food waste and so much more. So we fulfill our plan little at a time. Meanwhile our spirits fly because we are working under a value. To wake humans up could be a way of expressing it.
Today I laid out rocks and boulders as a garden wall for the property owner of my current residence. I help him, he helps me. I help him physically, he teaches me how to build the walls intelligently and gives me experience. What an awesome trade. Tomorrow we will plant seeds. And so my gardening knowledge will increase. This is what life is about to me. Learning skills I can teach myself and the next generation. I’m so inspired by the next generation and can’t wait to get their help in building more sustainable communities. That’s what kids want.
A grateful thing I am for about my life is that I am physically healthy. It was a long road. However now I am. What can I do with that? Get out and help people. Or take myself on a walk or adventure and not be worried that my back will hurt or my mind will become emotionally compromised. If you are hurt, I am sorry. Contact me at myselfasfoundation@gmail.com and I can start working with you to rebuild what you want and need from your body. It’s a great feeling to play, to exercise, to feel, and this body is a temple through which a lot of these sensations are felt. I hope you are ready to feel open to new states of joy and satisfaction.
From building garden beds to cooking to leading transformational trips, breathing exercises, being a badass, whatever, we all have a ton of areas to grow in. So my friends and I will be leading trips to expand. For everyone. Keep following my blog or instagram @2911ben and we will grow together. Many opportunities ahead.
Sat Nam, the Truth is Your Birthright
Seize It,
Love
Benjamin
