The root cause of why you behave as you do isn’t understood by most so you will never go beyond it. This understanding is what leads to awaking up from a sleeping state that keeps you entrapped to causing your own suffering; not intentional, but suffering nonetheless. This has to be understood in order to alleviate the mechanisms in place that cause this. Suffering is caused by an unconscious conditioned mind state and unless this conditioning ceases to exist suffering results have to follow. Every cause has a effort; this occurs whether the cause is understood or not.
Learning about the Conditioned Mind is life altering, but only if it’s deeply understood. Life cannot be anything but what the conditioning in place dictates it to be so life (unconsciously) is made to be what it is; this is why sitting is necessary to allow the mind to settle. If there isn’t some semblance of quietness in your life the Conditioned Mind will run the show and although life will be lived because you are alive, it will mostly be so in a state of unconscious suffering. As subtle as it may be, a mind conditioned to suffer will always do so because it’s what’s in place. Change the conditioning, change what’s in place; when that happens that’s when your suffering will change…
