15 Closer to God

Living Off the Grid in the City

Living Off the Grid in the City Podcast. Here I get a bit philosophical and spiritual. I believe that living off the grid, and all that is required for it, gets you closer to a simpler you, a better person, a bit closer to your deepest beliefs. Not depending on all of the fluff, excesses, and commodities of today; gets you to be much humbler, compassionate, caring, aware, helping, etc. It gets you to think more about others, and their welfare, as well as your environment, especially because others depend on it too. Living off the grid, turning away from the traps of your lost peers, I believe, gets you closer to God. Here’s how.

00:00CLOSER TO OURSELVES

00:02Most of us hold beliefs in the divine, the supernatural, and the

00:08un-understandable, spiritual, or the profound, for a variety of reasons.

00:15Living of the Great may allow us to come closer to those beliefs or to ourselves.

00:20I believe few things may bring life-changing reflection upon us as

00:23isolation, scarcity, deep sacrifice, and bold trust in our nature,

00:28our teammates, and forces outside of our control.

00:32I believe when we depend less on the abundant commodities that surround us,

00:36when we miss a meal, or when we get away from our assurances,

00:40something within us is allowed to breathe and grow.

00:43A peace, a clarity, a spirit is nourished.

00:46Being imprisoned, impoverished, isolated, malnourished, and detached

00:50all allow us that inner nourishment, for reasons I don't fully understand.

00:55Some may call it living on the edge, living within your means, or drawing

00:59self-boundaries and discipline.

01:02Some recognize it as spiritual and divine.

01:05I believe these experiences, although not permanent, bring a new level of depth

01:09in most areas of our lives.

01:11Living off the grid may grow to be that in your life which brings you detached

01:15satisfaction, fulfillment, and unfettered trust in you, your community, and that in

01:21which you believe.

01:23At times, I call it being closer to God.

01:26Other times, I call it being closer to myself.

01:30Sometimes, I just accept I don't understand it, and I go with the currents.

01:34Other times, I feel in sync with that universe and forge against much.

01:39Ultimately, I believe a balance must be struck, and it seems it's best for us to remain in

01:45the middle, remain in the struggle, to improve our forever and perfect nature, our environments,

01:51and our behaviors.

01:52Closer to God.

01:56Don't stop reading if you are not religious.

01:59This is not meant to be only for the pious.

02:01We are all believers in different things.

02:04But, religious or not, I believe that living off the grid brings you closer to something

02:09much greater than yourself, whatever that may be in your life, to a more selfless, independent,

02:16caring, fair, helping, and compassionate version of you.

02:19Simply, I believe it brings you closer to a more wholesome version of you, in all the

02:25good ways.

02:26For example, living off the grid turns away from excess, greed, materialism, selfishness,

02:32avarice, hate, unfairness, anger, stress, over-dependence, and more.

02:37So, in turn, you are forced to use more of your positive traits.

02:41Simply, turn to the positive while avoiding the negative.

02:44I believe we become better individuals, in my words, closer to God.

02:48But, believer or not, these righteous actions will help you be happier and secure a better

02:54future and legacy for the world and yourself.

02:57I am not especially religious, and like all, I have had many moments of confusion, doubt,

03:03and turmoil in my personal spiritual and psychological life.

03:07But, I have found that depending on artificial and material excess, gives you only superficial

03:12glimpses of what is really important, each other, your neighbor.

03:17By taking care of your environment, leaving bread on the table for others, and only depending

03:23on that which is essential to health, we become more like our ideas of God, we take care of

03:28our neighbor.

03:29And, I believe the best among us take care of our neighbor first.

03:34Believer or not, a righteous God, as your righteous neighbors, will look upon your deeds,

03:39and not your piety.

03:41For the good you do unto others is what will make you better.

03:44The excesses you reject are what give you value.

03:48The actions you take to help are what will help you in turn.

03:51These are the true benefits of living sustainably, living away from society's many traps to

03:57bondage, living off the grid.
