It's due to people being conditioned to such a way that they've lost their way, their spirituality and understanding that everything is energy. We have that as we are kids, but as soon as we are thrown out in the "real world" as they call it, people lose their true power within them. All the mind brainwashing, traumas, bullying, rules everywhere you go, the overflow of negativity, thoughts, worries, anxiety, depressions, corruption everywhere, fake mainstream media, social conditioning, social media...it's what makes people get that massive brain fog and gets them to forget who they are and who we all are as individuals. With meditation we can silence those thoughts and get back to who we are and learn about ourselves on a deeper level. I definitely recommend it, it's a very powerful tool to have, you either learn to control your mind and achieve great things or you let your mind control you and be miserable. I think the problem is, people think spirituality is about fortune tellers and wudu stuff, but it's not even close. Each of us eventually wake up spiritually,, some sooner, some later, some right before death. But it always happens. The sooner it does, the easier your life becomes. I know my life has changed so much for the better in the last year and my overthinking can't control me the way it used to and challenges I get along the way, are easier to handle.
Hope it works for you too :) Thanks for the comment and your view of the topic !
