1) We forgot our place in the natural world

In the last couple of hundred years we have detached ourselves from nature.
We have exploited, ravaged, consumed and attempted to control nature to
appease our greed driven by self-absorbed madness. We tried to distance
ourselves from the natural circle of life. We forgot how to listen to and
understand the natural rhythms and cycles of the earth its signs and
languages. We forgot to follow natures path and live in balance with it.

2) We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos

By detaching ourselves from nature, we forgot that we are deeply connected
to it and to the cycles of the universe. Some tribes on the outskirts of
civilisation, and who still follow ancestral ways, have preserved this
connection with respect and reverence. We, on the other hand have instilled
a sense of separateness which drove us out of balance and in dis-ease. We
forgot how all consciousness is interconnected and weaved into a delicate
and beautiful dance.

SPIRIT SCIENCE AND METAPHYSICS

The 12 Biggest Life Secrets Forgotten By Mankind

By Gilbert Ross| The more I ponder about life, the more I continue to come
to one solid realization: The biggest curse and predicament of modern Man is
forgetfulness. Like a creeping malaise, forgetfulness has seeped through all
of Mans being and doing. Individually, collectively, historically or culturally,
we are spellbound to forget.

We havent only forgot our past but also our place in the present and our
responsibility of the future. On a personal level, our ego-based state of
consciousness is on a mission to keep us in this state of forgetfulness to
break the link to our being as a whole and to the interconnected web of life
and universal consciousness.

On a collective level, this forgetfulness is perpetuated and reinforced by

social and cultural means mainly by being tranced into a reality of
unconscious consumerism, inauthentic lifestyles and a materialistic mindset.

The brighter side of it is that we all have the chance to re-member and reconnect to ourselves and the universe at large. The power of remembering is
at the center of the spiritual path to self-discovery and realization.
Here is a list of what I believe we have forgotten, or more importantly, a list
of things to remember:

1) We forgot our place in the natural world

In the last couple of hundred years we have detached ourselves from nature.
We have exploited, ravaged, consumed and attempted to control nature to
appease our greed driven by self-absorbed madness. We tried to distance
ourselves from the natural circle of life. We forgot how to listen to and
understand the natural rhythms and cycles of the earth its signs and
languages. We forgot to follow natures path and live in balance with it.

2) We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos

By detaching ourselves from nature, we forgot that we are deeply connected
to it and to the cycles of the universe. Some tribes on the outskirts of
civilisation, and who still follow ancestral ways, have preserved this
connection with respect and reverence. We, on the other hand have instilled
a sense of separateness which drove us out of balance and in dis-ease. We

forgot how all consciousness is interconnected and weaved into a delicate

and beautiful dance.

3) We forgot our ancient wisdom

We forgot our ancestral wisdom. In the quest to gain scientific knowledge

through the rationalization of our mind, we forgot the wisdom through the
opening of our heart. We forgot the ancient stories and folk wisdom that was
handed down from from seers and wise men of antiquity who lived in
harmony with the universe.

4) We forgot our path and our dreams

By stirring away from our inner path we forgot to dream the dream of life.
More importantly we forgot how to awake in that dream and see our true
nature as co-creators of life as the dreamers. We forgot that we have the
power to weave dreams and use our power of intention to direct those
dreams into manifestation.

5) We forgot our purpose

With too much chatter, noise and distraction in this dense reality we forgot
what we came here to do. We forgot our purpose. We are caught in the mass
trance of fabricated consensual reality. We lost sight of our authenticity, that
inner spark that drives us towar ds our happiness and self-realization. We
forgot that we are here to be realized as spiritual beings embodied in a
physical form and embedded in a congenial universe.

6) We forgot that everything is Love

This is perhaps the deepest mystery of all that only some seers came to
understand it as an all-embracing truth. That truth however is hidden
somewhere deep inside of us. We knew it at some point but have lost touch

with it. We forgot that everything is ultimately energy and consciousness and
that love is the fundamental fabric of existence that runs through all energy
and consciousness.

7) We forgot to Forgive
By being made to believe that we are separate and disconnected from the
others and from everything else, we forgot to forgive. In its deepest sense
forgiveness is the act of reminding ourselves that we are one with everyone
and everything and that there is no victim or perpetrator. Its just all of us
together moving together in a dynamic web we call life.

8) We forgot to be Free

Remind yourself one thing everyday: You were made to be free.

We were born and raised in a reality where freedom is only a concept. We
were bound to the shackles of fear, misconceptions, false ideologies,
material reward and held ransom to rules and laws laid down to safeguard
the interest of the few. We were made to forget that we are free agents of
change. We are free to be who we are without fear or guilt.

9) We forgot our real power

Living in fear has made us forget how powerful we are. We forgot the
massive power of our will and intention to change our reality. We have been
tranced into sleepwalking and following the ready made signs like
automatons.

10) We forgot our lessons from history

If there is something that history has taught us is how fast we are at

forgetting our lessons. Time and time again we keep on repeating the same
mistakes, stuck in the same patterns of greed and self-destruction. We

cannot be blamed individually for the mistakes done by humanity in the past
but we are responsible as individuals to to remind ourselves of the past
mistakes and pass it on to the collective psyche.

11) We forgot to be simple

Human life got more complex and complicated. We are seduced by the glitter
of more and not by the power of less. We forgot to be simple and the
meaning of simplicity. Life is simple really. Simplicity means discarding all the
inessential stuff and ideas that clutter the view to our life purpose and the
other truths we have forgotten.

12) We forgot to trust, believe and wonder

We lost our enchantment with the world. We forgot to be wondered by the
miracle of life. We do not stand in awe at the majesty of it all anymore. Our
skepticism and cynical view of the world has made us lose trust in ourselves
and the magic of the universe. We forgot how to believe. This is perhaps the
biggest tragedy of all. It weakened our spirit and impoverished our soul.

Hopefully we can remember to embrace our unity and reconnect with the
simple wisdom of ancient cultures, because our world needs us to more than
ever. Let us remember we have held the secret to life all along.
