Connections

 
Society
It is natural and essential for all beings to seek out some activities in common with others so as to enter the dialogues and relationships necessary for growth, learning, and love. This tendency does form countless societies. Although it is a common trap of the wounded ego to criticize the activities that are binding others as being inferior to what we might imagine or desire for ourselves, you will do best to not get stuck in this activity, because it is the relationships behind the activities which are satisfyingly complex to the participants involved, and not necessarily the activities themselves.
 
In the right context, you can be in love and be fascinated and fascinating just talking about the weather. Context can be everything, and you are bringing your own context.
 
If you have become dislodged from your own preferred societies, then criticizing others for their surface activities will not bring you into where you belong, but rather into the societies of critics, which are boastful of complex activities while being tremendously simplistic in their relationships, and this is a source of their dissatisfactions.
 
As one who is interested in sorting out the wisdom of advanced spiritual topics such as astral research, it is likely that in the course of your lifetime you have suffered the effects of some social deprivations due to being in the wrong societies for you - this website is encouraging you now to join the communities of the astrally savvy, to know that they do exist and are inviting you, and that they likely contain what you "were looking for" even if you did not know this to be the case.
 
The astral communities are in fact where a majority of all beings in the universe are connecting, and most specifically these spaces contain many of your own dearest friends who are missing you. That this would be true is somewhat self-evident, since *most* beings, and certainly many of the best activity-sharers that you could imagine for yourself, are simply not incarnated within your present physical proximity.
