Twelve years ago I had a definite vision of the way I wanted my life to go when I began the study of my own mind. There weren’t any lofty goals or some great state of mind to attain to make my life about something in particular, all I had was an undistorted vision of peace; a peace that eluded me for most of my life, this is still my vision today. Just because you’re on a so called spiritual path, it doesn’t mean what you’re doing is truly beneficial. I did things for many years that I was told were beneficial to me and it turned out not to be so; they were things that actually keep me suffering. I won’t go into details, but what I do today is beneficial and how I know this is because I’m at peace and I don’t have a real desire for anything else. I have a passion in my heart to share my experience with others, but it’s not an aching as I don’t need this moment to be different. If you’re not looking for anything that’s how you will know if you have an undistorted vision as opposed to one made up by the Conditioned Mind.
You may want to be the most spiritual person in your circle, you may be reading all the right books, quoting all the right people, and putting all your energy into a so called practice, but there’s only one question and that is can you stop it all and still be at peace? If not, what you’re doing is only being used to distort your vision. I had a distorted vision for forty nine years so I know what I’m talking about. Try another book, a program, therapy, another pill, dieting, meditation, drugs, alcohol, and on an on, but when the tasks is complete and you’re living your daily life if you don’t have a clear vision of peace, what you’re doing isn’t working. There are many pointers in life, but your vision becomes distorted by thinking the pointers are the answers. The answers are simply within, you just need to make sure the tools you’re using are showing you an undistorted vision that provides you with the most beneficial way to live…
