Do you ever feel like packing your bags, and leaving home with no explanation?
I did. I packed my bags and told my husband that I needed to get away. I am going to India for 3 months. He was left with 2 teenage kids of ours. I wasn’t leaving him but just going away. That was the best thing I ever did for myself. Although I came back in 5 weeks. 3 months was way too long for me to live without my kids. I got married when I was 19 and my husband was 21. We both practically grew up together. I really needed to get to know myself without him. I found out that I was strong enough to travel by myself. I didn’t need my husband by my side all the time, but I wanted my husband to be by my husband. There is a difference. One is a choice, other is a chore. I met a lot of interesting people. I met prime minister and president of Nigeria while I was in India. I met the owner of Taj Hotels..Ratan Tata. I made friends with hotel employees. They helped me, went to movies with me, helped me get a Indian cell phone account (foreigners can’t do that), I traveled to temples and beaches with hotel taxi drivers and learned about their lives, families, challenges and triumphs. All and all it was a great experience. It also strengthened my confidence and our relationship.
Why do I sometimes feel my soul leaving my body? I'll just be sitting down and then for 2 seconds I feel like I'm not me, and then I'm back to normal.
It isn’t your Soul leaving your body. The entire Soul is never IN the physical body. What is leaving is called your Astral Body. This same body goes out in our sleeping hours to explore, revisit past lives, engage in particular forms of learning such as is found in mystery schools and much more. It is connected to your physical body by an energetic cord so that it may re-enter the body.To send the Astral Body out and view the world from its perspective is called: Astral Projection.This is a very normal, natural phenomenon for human beings. However, it, like awakening of higher senses must be worked on using choice, will, desire and intention. Unless worked on previously, one does not simply access knowledge about the Astral Body and know how to direct it in waking hours.If you feel the Astral body leaving while you are awake, and have not had instruction in this life, it indicates you have had experience with waking Astral travel in a previous life. Your meditation is putting you in touch with that knowledge.You can learn more about all facets of Astral Body reality and experience by Googling: What is the Astral Body?Just to clarify because the Soul is so misunderstood all across the board, your body is a projection from the Soul. Your human expression on earth is an emanation of sorts imbued with the life force of the Soul. All coding from all lifetimes are contained within your Soul. The entire Soul could in no way fit into ONE fragile third dimensional body.Of course then we must know that there is no Soul possession, no buying, no selling, no capturing, no bartering, and definitely no need saving the Soul! All of that is merely an archaic collection of stories the human race tells itself before waking up within this dream.Possession, just for closure here, is of other aspects of the mental and emotional bodies. If such an experience should present itself, it could only be at the behest of the Soul. Soul would have to give permission for it to occur for the purpose of a learning experience. Forgive the digression. I am just seeking to lend a degree of clarity from the bigger picture.Peace.
Sometimes I feel like leaving everything and everyone forever, and going somewhere very far and doing something worthy from scratch. What should I do? Am I an escapist?
Everybody feels this sometime or the other. We all want to escape from this harsh reality. Somethings that can make you feel better are:Take a trip. Alone. Meet strangers. Get to know their life. Their culture.Talk to a stranger. Anywhere you see somebody in need. Lonely. Just go, talk to them. Tip: Poor strangers are better than once that have no time to look at them.Go to old age homes, orphanages. Meet old people, kids. Talk to them. Realise your blessings.Read a lot. Tip: 'The Alchemist' would be the best according to me.Meet an old friend. Talk about your memories. It will let you know how much your life has changed.Patch up things with your worst enemy. Its hard, I know. But it will make you feel better. Just a 'sorry' text can make their day better and will make you feel lighter too.Learn at least one thing from every person you meet. Everybody you meet knows something you don't. Remember kind>smart. Be kind. Always. Always. No matter how much somebody mistreats you. If you feel that they hurt you too much, just leave. Everybody you meet is fighting a hard battle so give as many chances to people as you would give to yourself.PARTY. Party hard. Go with some of your real friends, dance, enjoy and have fun.Make somebody feel better about themselves. The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else. There's so much more to life. You don't realize how blessed you are now. Know other people's pain and then you'll never even think of escaping again. You have a whole life lying ahead of you. You can become anything, be crazy enough to change the world. Some do drugs, some smoke it off while some want alcohol to make them escape the harsh reality of the world. But the actual reality is, your happiness depends on you, only and only you. That's how it is. It is meant to be stupid. It is meant to be overwhelming. But it will all always always make sense in the end. Things change, you grow up. The stuff you cry on today is the stuff you'll laugh on 10 years from now. In the end you'll realise when the movie is over, that the trailer of your life wasn't of a suspense or thrilling movie but of a funny entertaining and emotional one. So live each moment as it is, stop taking things personally, let people go, let the new ones come and never ever forget to mess things up! They will be the reason your stomach aches so hard laughing and you grow. ESCAPE FROM REALITY! CREATE A WORLD YOU DESIRE! BE THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT TO MEET! Best of luck !
Do you ever feel like leaving society?
Yes. There have been many times where I’ve thought about becoming a recluse, running away from it all because I “failed” to live up to or meet the expectations of people and society in general. The loneliness that I feel often also contributes to alienation and desire to get away from it all.But in the end, I do not.I don’t have an exact reason as to why I don’t just run away from everyone and everything. Maybe its because of my ability to see the light as well as the dark. Despite my belief that everyone has little darkness in them, that people can be cruel (some more than others, and some more often than others), I truly believe that there are good times around the corner. I truly believe that there are good people around the corner, as well. Nothing ever lasts, including suffering and pain. If you want to know, I too have gone through internal suffering and pain, but yet despite that, I’m still around. I still have great friends (even though they aren’t around), I still have great family (even though they don’t always listen), and I’ve had a relatively good life. Though I’ve had problems, haven’t we all. Your toughness is measured by how much you can stand & take, and your ability to get up and keep going. That would be my little nugget of advice. Keep going. You will be greatly rewarded. I know. Like I said, you see the light or the dark depending on your situation/perspective, and based on yours, it’s time to look at the light. Know when things get bad, but know when things get good. That’s my 2 cents. Look at the good in life, and your life will feel good. Talk to people. Get to know yourself. That’s all I have to say. Best of wishes to you and good luck!
Do you ever just wanna leave everything behind?
OMG, you sound just like me. yes i am dying to leave this state and move on to a place where i dont know anyone, and find new people, some people tell me that im just running away instead of facing my problems. but they are not in my shoes, i cant deal with more problems anymore. i say go for it if you have the opportunity to start over then do it if that makes you feel better, we only live once. good luck.
Do you ever feel like calling out of work just to stay home and relax?
Yes, and I have done that before. There are times I feel tired or lazy, and will call in that I’m sick or something happened. But these occurred when I was working part time. I try not to do it often as it will have a record and I don’t like to be irresponsible. But when I started doing a job I really liked, I rarely called in sick or anything. It’s okay to be lazy once or twice, but you can’t do it constantly, you have to make sure your work still gets done when you return. Other than that, I know some jobs have limited Leave of Absence reasons, so when I wake up and tell myself I don’t want to work today, I think of the reasons why I need to andget out of bed.
I have a strong urge to leave family/friends behind to just get out of here and move away?
Not at all. It just means you're ready for renovation and not necesarily that you are being mean towards your friends and family. In the end you are a man and need to cope with providing for yourself and keeping sanity in order to pursue a healthy relationship. I suggest you go somewhere open and green where you can do a lot of activities.. Colorado for example has a lot of outdoor sports. Or maybe you just need to find something to distract you from the common repetitive days.. or just join the army! lol you get paid for waking up each day.. and you travel too!

Have you ever went to sleep not wanting to ever wake up?
Yes , of course , many times I feel like that . I just want to go to sleep and just die in my sleep without any pain or suffering . Because sometimes I feel that life is just too hard , or maybe I'm really stressed out or I'm feeling very sick . All these really just make me want to just leave this world peacefully , which is to die in my sleep .
