hi mikaza,

nice post!

i even go to college and most people there are uninterested in meeting people, being more concerned with their studies. most sheeple are not aware there is even a world out there let alone something else going on in it. i think it would be wise to remember that these sheeple (and boy there are a lot of them) are in total ignorance of reality. understandably it is not their fault, rather, just another typical example of modern living.

or if it's a social problem among young people in general i think you have hit the nail on the head so to speak. i work on a busy high street and it is quite freaky to see the number of young people walking along with their headphones on, oblivious to anything else. they look like robots with a complete vacant expression on their faces.
without getting too deep, i see the problem as a manufactured social experiment that worked! look at the quality and content of many films over the years which have come out of hellywood. also couple that to the modern culture of pop music with all its subliminal mind programming messages and ooh la la - you got yourself a bunch of dumbed down humanoids and a never ending supply of them at that!

my advice to you my friend is to not get too hung up on the subject of meeting people. i do not know if you read back to yourself what you have written but let me tell you how you come across to me. you are obviously a highly intelligent, switched on and likeable person. just remember where you are now is not where you may be in 1 years time for instance. my guess is you will probably up sticks at some point and find the place which will give you a stronger sense of fulfillment which, in turn, will allow your spiritual persona to flourish and mature. it sounds like you are slightly unhappy with the fact that you are not connecting with like-minded spiritual folk.(?) well arnt we all!

please above all else, do not lose faith in your spirituality. things in your life will happen and change will come, when the time is right. for now keep at it and try and get going with conversations with your college friends. may i wish you peace of mind and contentment for your journey.

11wanderer11 - i hope you find miss right soon. often you know the best time to find something is when you are not looking! i have many friends who have found great relationships after they have given up the search. in other words, it will happen when you least expect it. good luck to you though.

may true love and light fill all of your hearts and last an eternity.
