Why locking my semester to travel was a simple and natural choice.

Currently I’m failing more and more to understand this need for things to be complex. It seems like we totally forgot about how great life can be when the focus is to just keep it simple…

Our powers became useless when we became bored individuals, politely mumbling around. And I can see the boredom ever increasing. I was once like that, a someone who craved for stimulants and couldn’t enjoy anything. If I wasn’t doing stuff with my hands, something was wrong.

Knowledge is far away from wisdom. To be a wise person we need to interpret our needs, our personal traits, and our own reality. Then apply the knowledge, mixing action and experience. Its a basic formula, a mix of ingredients which leads to all the happiness related feelings. But the more I seek for knowledge, the common called information, the more skeptic I become. And it was getting hard to find the answers for all the questions, all the internal satisfaction became gray.

This is why I see in nature connection this vital part of our personal development. Nature is pure wisdom, nature is math, is science, and it is also divine truth. Last month I felt like I had a pressurized bomb inside my chest. I was getting angrier and each day more frustrated with my graduation on software engineering, my superficial social interactions and my outsiderness.

My interpretations of superficially living was getting bigger, I was starting to see who I really was in this giant manipulated colony of ants, walking around on two legs, believing that the objective is the goal, not the path leading to it.

Then I decided to take action and control my life again. I left everything, locked the semester and traveled to Veadeiros Plateau, this incredible national park located in the heart of Brazil, with waterfalls, rock formations and a 1.8 billion years crystal geology.

This was a really courageous decision, one that required courage and guts. I stood my ground, I knew what was best for me. My parents said all kinds of destructive stuff, my mom called me a drug addicted and my father said I was getting crazy… Yet I didn’t let those things affect me, I was obstinate to travel, I knew what was best for me, and I did it regarding of any acceptance or not.

I bought a 41 liters backpack, inserted my stuff in there and went on a revolutionary journey of self observation.

Today, one month later, I can say that this was the best decision I made this year. The experienced contact with nature, being free to choose my own path, my own course of the days, it was the simplest thing to do looking backwards, but then, it was authentic, natural.

It grounded me, allowed me to look past the matrix. It allowed me to see the really important aspects of living. It empowered me to be a powerful creator, a whole being, with loving awareness and worthy of the wonders of life.

I’m grateful for maintaining the path of sobriety, the one that is only concerned on interior balance and frequency elevation. One that doesn't ingest meat, flesh, blood, or anything with a heart. One that provides me the natural wisdom of the source self connection.

Science is far away from comprehension of normal beings like you and me. They want it to be this way so that we don’t understand all the “said-wonders”. But in my opinion, the only true science we should search is our unique internal aspects. Our physical bodies and the science behind our own emotional state. Keeping in mind the importance of maintaining things as simple as possible, and as natural as possible.
