As a spiritual counselor, I am hearing more and more people say that they feel like they want to leave this particular world. These individuals report that they are tired of the crooked and dirty politics, hate speech, division, the horrible way in which people treat one another and so much more. They say that they don't feel like this world is their home anymore and they feel as if they want to go to a better place. These people are not suicidal, nor are they clinically depressed. They just feel like, spiritually, they have outgrown this particular world and the direction it is moving it. The question I pose here is, are such individuals just disenchanted with the way life on planet Earth is going? Have the winds of change taken their world into a direction that feels unfamiliar and cold? Or, are such individuals experiencing something on a soul level? Something that is alerting them that this world is wearing out like an old garment? I would hypothesize, that perhaps, both of these scenarios are true to a certain extent.
Throughout time immemorial, it has been reported that before a civilization came to an end; that there were a certain group of people that separated themselves from the very toxic and even violent way of life of their societies. And, in a religious context, these were usually the folks to start civilization over again once a major cataclysm struck. But perhaps the solution to conquering this feeling is a bit more simple than that, yet complex in its own, right. Perhaps as the world runs headlong in a very undesirable direction, there are some of us who just need to retreat from such behaviors and focus on our own connection with our own souls and the Divine. Perhaps there is a great lesson to be learned by those who participate in the monastic life. And some of us just need to focus on the simple things in life and that presence of something greater in our hearts.
