Lost in the Unknown?...

[angelfaith1111]

Has anyone ever reached a point in there lives where they feel lost?

When I say lost I am referring to feelings of numbness inside and confusion...

Its almost like I don't know who I am or what I'm meant to do next in life...I feel like sometimes I'm in a wild goose chase to find answers...answers to what I do not know(the irony), but I feel like im on a constant quest to find something deeper...

I feel stuck right now and I feel like I cannot find my usual serenity or inner peace and contentment..

Has anyone felt like this and overcome it?If so how?

Love n Light

Hello Angelfaith,

I don't feel numb now, but I remembered a time that I did. I always was trying to find something, answers to something I didn't know. I find that I tend to go through many emotions in a short period of time, but at that time I was more restless than I'd ever been yet I was numb. Nothing felt right and I didn't feel any peace.
I feel it that what you are going through is part of a journey, and that the next step may be finding something that makes everything make more sense. You'll still go through emotions, you'll still have questions about but something inside will take away the numbness and you will find a sense of peace. I don't know if its a matter of something to be overcome as much as it is something to be lived through and as you go on and live life you'll find some of the answers.

Thank you for sharing this Angelfaith

Thank you Clara,

Its consoling knowing that someone else has went through these feelings and that it does get better. I really hope and pray that my inner peace is reignited again. I also find myself going through so many emotions in short periods. It can be an emotional rollercoaster. Thank you for reminding me that this is part of my journey and not a flaw or mistake. Your words are highly valued.

Thanks again,

Sometimes it gets awful or tremendous and you don't even have the luxury of thinking it over until it ends suddenly. Like working a 60 hour workweek and getting laid off or being a caregiver until the bitter end. When the end comes you feel lost because you were programed to perform and now you have nothing to do.

At other times you try very hard at what ever is worth considering only to discover considering the many options becomes a life's work in and of itself. What you thought was an experiment was just survey; what should have been an accomplishment was just a glimmer of more possibilities.

Nothing accomplished.

I find it helps to go outside yourself and try to relate to the others and see how they cope and what they find fun or important. The reason being if you can not think straight you can not hope to solve or even see things close to you. That is not abandoning free will; it is choosing to expand your little world as a test of yourself. It is suggested your validity as a human being and what you do and are can only be measured by it's impact on someone else.

If you do something, anything, and it makes some sense to the others it must have some validity even if it seemed confusing or irrelevant to yourself.

Hi Angelfaith,
You've described me perfcetly :-)!!!
I also feel totally lost, I don't know where to turn or what to do. I try things and it's ok for a while and then I am back to misery.
I keep scouring the net looking for some sort of answer as I am having some weird kriya things!! :-)
Anyway, I am glad others are saying it passes a bit... Don't know about you, but it feels like it has been going on forever :-)!! x

Yes I've felt like that.

My way out is to look at the positives in my life and see what I have. I am also drawn upon inpsiration of certain people and reading books.

I suggest taking a step back and meditating.

Good luck.

Hello again all

Thank you all for your feelings, suggestions and input to this. It was all greatly valued. I have some good news. As some of you might be aware I have begun releasing that which does no longer serve me. Since this breakthrough as tough and challenging as it was, I feel I am emerging again I have gained a new found positivity and zest for life in which had been lost for quite sometime I am now at the point of re-evaluating my life and my inner self and its a fulfilling process. Soul searching always seems to come up with definitive answers. Even to questions you hadn't intended to asked :)a wise man once said "the answers lie within" and that's very true!

Good Luck to you all
Love n Light xoxo

Dear Angel,

I think many people can relate to the feelings you have described at some point in their lives. For me I think this is the mind and spirit of a person expressing their sense of disorientation and unhappiness at the way their life is at that point in time. A feeling of not being true to themselves, a sense of living their life according to the needs and demands of others maybe. Its almost as if you are detaching yourself from life mentally, because it is really not the kind of life you envisioned for yourself.

When someone feels lost, it doesn't I don't think denote that the person doesn't know where they are or what they should be doing. Because to feel lost implies that at some level within you, you know where you should be, and it isn't where you are. Someone who is lost, knows where home 'should be'..if that makes sense to you.

So this is about re discovering yourself and making a commitment to yourself to be true to yourself, and where you want to be physically, emotionally and spiritually. Often this feeling is the catalyst for people to finally make the changes in their lives to move forward.

I hope this is true for you and for anyone else who can relate to your feelings and situation. There is nothing wrong, quite the contrary..I believe, this is the authentic self the real you..trying to reassert itself.

Love and light
Kaz
