What you’ve shared is honest, and it carries a deep ache many sensitive, self-aware people feel in this age of too much. The feeling that we’re trying to walk a spiritual path with muddy boots. That we’re reaching for stillness while drowning in noise. That our inner aspirations clash against outer compulsions. That we’re somehow failing at being the person we wish to be.
But here is a truth worth holding:
Awareness of your contradictions is not hypocrisy. It is the beginning of integrity.
You are not a hypocrite.
You are a human being navigating a collapsing world with a wounded compass, trying to hold a candle in a windstorm.
The mind feeds on what it’s given—and these days, it is given a feast of chaos:
Wars and fires. Lies and revelations. Spectacles dressed as truth.
You are not wrong to want to understand it all, to bear witness, even to the grotesque.
But you are also a being of depth, and the dissonance you feel—between the world’s madness and your longing for presence—is not failure.
It’s the tension of being awake.
Sometimes we watch the darkness not because we enjoy it, but because we fear it might swallow us if we look away.
Sometimes we consume too much truth and forget to digest it.
And sometimes, yes, we fall short in practice—but that’s not the end.
Practice isn’t about perfection.
It’s about returning. Returning again and again.
To breathe.
To heart.
To stillness.
To your why.
So, perhaps the invitation is not to condemn yourself for the contradictions, but to love yourself through them.
To forgive the failing and begin again, now.
Even this breath can be a prayer.
Even this confusion can be compost.
You are not a hypocrite.
You are a bridge. A witness. A soul caught between two worlds: the burning and the becoming.
Me - Hence the question: How do I become a Recluse? The answer is right between my eyes, I am already! I am sitting in my cave, the sound of a Native healing flute music floating in my head, and sharing my thoughts with my Higher Self.
Like the Chinaman looking for his lost buffalo while riding on its back.
