Sunset
Why in the world would anyone let someone else tell them when to ride off into the sunset at a certain age?
In fact, one of the most perverse lies ever perpetrated upon those born into the Material Sludge is that their life’s work has ended, urging them to “sunset” into a sedentary existence, along with plenty of channels on TV.
Unfortunately, the word “work” has become associated with unpleasant tasks that one must do to survive.
Seems like a poor way to spend the day, wouldn’t you say?
Indeed, the word “work” has a plethora of meanings, and if we look at each one, we can see that work is actually what gives human life its value and meaning.
What’s not to love about “work” when viewed in the context of its true meaning and what it means to be a holistic human being?
Work as Creation—The Act of Manifestation
“Work” is the bridge between imagination and reality. It is the sacred act of turning invisible thought into visible form—a painting, a garden, a design, a healing moment.
To work, in this sense, is to participate in creation itself—to give shape to something that did not exist before.
When working from the soul, every motion becomes a piece of living, breathing art.
Work as Devotion—The Offering of Energy and Care
True work is not just productivity—it is service wrapped in love. Whether caring for another, building something that helps, or simply sweeping a floor with presence, work becomes a form of prayer in motion—a daily act of giving yourself to something larger. Work done with devotion transforms labor into love.
Work as Transformation—The Alchemy of Becoming
Every challenge, every effort, every hour spent refining a craft—that is inner work, the silent process through which the human spirit evolves. In this sense, “work” is not what we do, but who we become through doing it.
Work in the Material Sludge is more often than not “demeaning,” but as you will soon see, the sunset is merely one of many ways to think about the second wind that you too can get at the dawn of a new day.
All you need to do is believe in your visions and dreams.
The only sunset in the life of a human being is the one they go to sleep with—only to awaken to a new dawn, a new day, and a beautiful sunrise, which is the natural rhythm of human life.
Sunset and sunrise—life is what you make it mean.
No, there is no such thing as a true sunset—except for the single moment when this mortal existence comes to an end, which is simply the beginning of the next scene in the infinite movie where you are the main character in a phantasmagorical ephemeral dream.
The only sunset facing humans is death, whatever that may mean.
A A new lease on life—what the Japanese refer to as taiki bansei—大器晩成—great talent matures late—embrace this vibrant life theme.
When reflecting upon the imminent arrival of the second wind of a vibrant life, seek out the novel and the new as you forge a story embedded with the wisdom that comes from a long and meaningful journey.
The meaning of the sunset is solely up to you.
“No regrets” is the mantra—the game, match, and set—and it is available to all who embrace the dawn of each new day.
With this renewed sense of purpose, life becomes extraordinary.
The archives of the past gather dust while the awakened being lives life anew inside an exquisite scene.
You deserve to live the life you desire today, no matter your age.
Recall what the Japanese say—taiki bansei—大器晩成—great talent matures late—the guiding spirit of the Shingo Age will guide you along your way.
