Forgetful Consciousness

Are we here to learn to focus? We live in a world with patterns consistent across time - an anchor of solidity in an infinite space of possibilities. The world then reminds of, constantly, of our state. Were it not for the world, the great majority of our psyches would collapse, dissolve,  in the ocean of uncertainty - no control or pattern, lost without a guide or reference. A being bursting with freedom, but without an identity or a path, with no wind or pain to react to - what gives?

The world gives us momentum, and with it we can learn to inject ourselves with its state and its consistency. But I notice that many, I included, ride on it without learning from it. We depend on the world's consistency to guide us at every second of our Lives. We accept it, embrace it, become a pawn of the world without learning from it. From the world we can learn patterns, consistency, sequences and relationships between possibilities, and we can choose what to explore at each state.

I think one challenge is to learn to not be blown away by Life's momentum, but learn how to nourish your own consistency, core principles, and momentum, and apply it to the world. Otherwise, the Life lived becomes a sequence of reactions. Challenge accepted.
