Life is dynamic, but sometimes we make things a burden as if it’s always going to be this way. This makes life a delusion that what’s happening will never pass, but everything is temporary…
Making something that’s occurring in the moment as if it’s going to be this way forever, is why one gets swept away by a made up storms. They’re not truly storms, they take on the energy they’re given as if what’s occurring right now is always going to be this way. Once the energy of it’s always going to be this way is seen, the tool of “Everything is Temporary” can be applied. When one is struggling with something the greatest understanding you can have is that it’s your own mind that creates every obstacle to your inner peace regardless of how life unfolds; if this isn’t understood inner peace will never be had.
Everything is temporary even if what occurs is made permanent by your mind. This goes for everything including life itself so no matter what it is one day it will not be so. Here is one of my favorite examples of this: If you visit a doctor because you’re not feeling well and are told you have a year to live, do you want to die 365 times or once? A mind that‘s settled can see the truth of this and hence the freedom and value of only dying once. Or not and die everyday until the time comes when conditions that support living in this form are no longer met. We are only visitors here regardless of what happens in life and no matter how tight the hold is on something, everything is temporary…
