RE: What's The Point? Considering Giving Everything Up
Jeff you are obviously a talented guy and I do feel like I get where you are coming from. No one can know your path but you, but it seems you need a new challenge and you are not sure what horizons are left to conquer. The internal path is useful and you are already on it. What lifestyle can compliment it?
I wonder if it would be helpful for you to have an art form to externalize the internal path you are on. Allow yourself to create something beautiful to share with the world as you become more conscious.
I wonder if you have ever considered being land holder/owner. It seems like you have the resources and intellect to be successful in such an endeavor. Being a good steward to this earth is in great need. It can be fulfilling as nature is the best teacher. I do believe land can be both productive and harmonious with nature. This is one of the arts I am currently devoted to. It is challenging but that is what keeps it engaging.
Just a thought I felt like offering up. Like I said only you know your path. But it is difficult to find some woods to live in these days. Most land is private and the state doesn't want you squatting on their land either. Might as well own a part of the forest where you can build your hermit shanty. Your monk's cave.
With the right time and intention that space could be used to heal others as well as yourself. Nothing is more healing than helping others heal.
