Why is this reality sooooooo boring? If you are looking for fun it is boring. You are letting yourself have desires. A desire to have fun is a desire.

If the desire is despicable? What is the drive for a spiritual being? The goal is ascension, that's understandable. However, can't things be interesting at least, here in this reality, before the ascension happens? Nothing is interesting, video games, movies, sports, music ( sometimes ). When one understands why a person likes to spend his/her free-time with these things then these activities become unpleasant experiences.
I'm really fascinated by DNA and the fact that up to this day 90% of the DNA is not understood by science as to what is for. However, I'm not gifted at science by God, otherwise I would have given all my mental capacity and time trying to understand DNA better and share the knowledge with the world.

Hello,
Perhaps I should have been more clear, I should have written "bodily desires" instead of only desires. However, spiritual ascension should rather be a preference not to be the opposite than a desire. If you have mental stability then there is no particular craving for it but you let it be, this is what is "amen".
Be well Qarael Amenuel

I think you should find something that interests you, something productive, that you will benefit from, now or later. A great deal of what we do now is nothing but a sacrifice to lessen the suffering of tomorrow, or some point in the future.
So I think you have to start looking at your current time as a responsibility for tomorrow's outcome. Without worrying about tomorrow and instead focuse your attention on the now, today. Because 'tomorrow has its own worries'.
It's a nice tradeoff to trade unproductive activities like watching movies and playing video games with productive ones, e.g learning new things, because if you get distracted by unproductive activities, you're still going to face satan's urges every now and then, and with you having an irresponsible mindset, then you'll likely to fail over and over. And if you get distracted by productive activities, you are also going to face satan's urges, but at least you had time well spent.
I have stopped watching movies and series, and video games. Summer is here, and there is plenty of time that I'm going to spend learning and practicing my knowledge, I used to play video games all summer long. It's so easy to get a good mmorpg and forget about your life. Had A LOT OF FUN. But what a waste.
Also if you are fasting this Ramadan, it's a good opportunity to try new things with a mindset other than 'just waste your time until you break your fast'

It is only boring if you are not putting meaning into things. The more wastefully and boring yoy look at things the more hiring it all is. If you are on a mystic adventure like me, it is far from boring and you are constantly on a magical adventure where amazing things are being revealed to you, you are using your mind, combating evil, and helping people, and much more. It becomes far from boring and more like a magical quest or adventure full of interesting things and stories, one just has to open their eyes, use their minds, and start to use what is available and given in more ways, not just wasting everything.

I would say reality is HARD not boring. We fight everyday for a better life, trying as much as possible to obtain our desires.
The other day I was walking in the street thinking about an article I read about climate change. I asked myself "why should I care, by the time anything happens I'll be long gone", "why should I care about the world and what's happening like homosexuality, ignorance, Islam, wars, everything".
No matter how much money I make, or how many women I get, or the amount of people I help. It will all come to an end, the people around me will die and this world will collapse. Yet everyday I'm killing myself and fighting as hard as possible to obtain my desires/wants for a lost cause. If this world can do that to you, then something is really wrong here. This world is evil! everything in it is against us! Only a few really cracked the code and obtained true financial freedom and wealth, but once they die.. Someone else will take over.
I used to thank God daily for being so lucky to have such a loving and caring father. Now due to his old age, I wake up everyday thinking how horrible it would be if anything would happen to him. Every call I get from my siblings or mother, a part of me is afraid to answer thinking this might be the bad news. Once he's taken away from me, what next? My mother? My sister? My brother? My friends? What if I stopped loving them, is it even possible? Do I want to stop loving them?
Sorry for the rant! But sometimes I really hate this world! It turned us into slaves and we all make excuses to give reason for our cause and life. It's all for nothing in the end..

It is expectations that drive up the bore-level. If you expect to have some "fun" then things risk to become boring. Your social conditioning determines much of what you consider to be fun as well.
If you take life for what it is, a test, then boredom becomes a little irrelevant. Chasing after wealth and riches is vanity and has no real meaning and all it does is risking to draw your attention so that your mind is preoccupied by something and which is one of the stumbling blocks of the old Law (of Moses). The remedy is contemplation, which is marked by Sabbat(eh) in the ancient Semitic languages and the more often you hold Sabbateh the better.
Much of the problem in your life and in this world is about getting attachment to matters.
Part of the training towards ascension is to become untouched by what happens to family and relatives or even yourself. It is not about getting cold and careless but simply standing above emotions, like a superhuman, and then you have to aim at the root of the problem, your attachment to both concrete and abstract objects (the bodily person/soul of your relatives for example, which may not even exist as its own being (allah) anyway). Even if your relative dies, they do exist somewhere else, either as a resurrection in another flesh or climbing towards becoming ethereal, so there is nothing to mourn about except perhaps the loneliness as the deceased travelled away physically, but then again the physical attachment plays a role here. Of course, if one believes they are gone for good and we only live this life, the suffering might be harder for them. It is perhaps hard to accept and believe, but this kind of attachment is a little egotistical as you treat the other person as some kind of possession to your emotions because you WANT them with you but they may have a splendid life elsewhere. Their journey goes on. One's identity/soul/person is not bound to the body they once possessed, it is just a host.
Be well, Qarael Amenuel
