Scout: I remember reading this part of your writings with great fascination, thank you for sharing it again!
Vineeto: According to this dream Peter should be the answer to the question which I wasn’t willing to face myself: ‘What do I really want to do with my life?’
Scout: This is the crux of it, perfectly distilled. I want someone else to figure out how to make me happy. I’ve tried so many different things but I always struggle and they always fail eventually and I feel dissatisfied, and I soothe this dissatisfaction with the fantasy that the right person will solve this problem for me, rather than me figuring out how to be my own fount of happiness.

Hi Scout,
You are very welcome.
Ha, I can relate to that. ‘Vineeto’ in her twenties was looking for someone who had all the answers to life and would tell ‘her’ what to do – ‘she’ ended up in a spiritual commune with an enlightened master, and not until the master died, one-and-a-half decades later, did ‘she’ finally extract ‘her’ head from out-of-the-clouds, and look around if the aims and the results were really what ‘she’ wanted from life.
You can solve this question much quicker, now that there is a third alternative to materialism and spiritualism available, and genuinely inquire in yourself if this is a way of life and an ultimate goal (actual, not imagined, purity and perfection) that you can whole-heartedly devote your life to.
It is a wonderful, exciting and rewarding enterprise to do that.
Cheers Vineeto
