Every time someone reaches for something designed for a specific issue it’s because they believe there’s something missing in them. Same when a person goes to see a therapist, or they reach for another self help book, program, or if any other type of outside help is sought, this is because of the applied label of something’s missing. When this is done all you’re doing is reinforcing the attachment to that label and hence you’re keeping yourself attached that there’s something missing; this exist only because you have labeled it. Read this very carefully because why this label is being applied will be the difference in being complete or remaining entrapped to the something is missing label. Some of the things mentioned do have value if they’re used at certain times in the one’s life, but if they’re being held onto as an end to a means, they lose their value as the needing morphs into something missing and hence suffering.
Not many will see exactly what I’m talking about here, but I’m writing it because it’s what I experienced after many years of trying to fill the something is missing void with things from the outside. I have found the very things that I was using to fill what I thought was missing is what kept me in bondage; regardless of what was being used. Why I thought something was missing is what I needed to find out because it didn’t truly exist and since it didn’t truly exist, why was it there. To me if something from the outside is needed to live life, something isn’t right. If I can’t just be with myself without thinking something is missing, I have to ask myself why this is so. There is never anything missing that isn’t created so there is never a true need to rely on anything from the outside, but until this is seen you will continue to think something is missing and thus create your own suffering…
