People think there’s a change when a different view is revealed, but the essence of what’s truly happening is the distractions that have been blocking truth shift; you see what has always been there. It’s not a change that occurs, it’s a shift from delusional thinking to an understanding of the true nature of things; starting with your own mind. You cannot shift if you don’t know yourself and you cannot know yourself if you don’t understand the distractions of the Conditioned Mind. The reason why it’s so difficult to shift is because your own mind keeps you distracted. It tells you everything is okay, that you do enough to get by in life. And as long as it’s pleasurable you will not look within because the pleasure distracts you.
Truly looking at yourself at first isn’t pleasurable, that’s why so many people are hesitant to do it. It’s much easier and pleasurable to remain distracted with an out there view and do what is familiar, but there are only benefits when the distractions fall away and an honest self reflection is done. A step into the unfamiliar will need to be taken so you can get to know yourself.
The mind uses the distractions of what’s familiar because it’s what’s in place, only a honest self reflection allows truth to be revealed; this is the way one shifts and truth becomes what is familiar. When truth is revealed what happens is the veil of distracted ignorance is removed and where you were once blind you now see, but it’s not a change, it’s a shift and it allows truth to be revealed because you are no longer distracted and can see what has always been there…
