Noticing what’s reached for allows you to see what’s being used as a quick fix to fill whatever space you think needs filling. If the thought that space needs filling wasn’t there, the need for the quick fix reach wouldn’t be there. There are many quick fixes, but there’s only one space and it will either be filled or it will be allowed to be. This is the difference between being at peace or constantly reaching for something which reinforces the mind agitations that tells you a space needs to be filled. This space is the same for everyone, but the things being used as a quick fix is different. This is an endless list and the focus has to be inward if it’s going to be seen what’s being used. This space will never be revealed if one is blaming others for their mind agitations, because it arise from within you and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Such a hard thing to understand because of the conditioning in place, but if it isn’t isn’t you’ll continue to blame others for your mind agitations and constantly need a quick fix.
It’s truly heartbreaking to see this quick fix conditioning in place and how it unconsciously causes suffering. This is one of the hardest things to see and it’s the reason the mind can’t fix itself; one of the most important things to learn about this is how not to get pulled into someone else’s conditioning that produces a quick fix reaction from you. There are many situations throughout the day that will provide the triggers for this, but if 24/7 awareness is being developed, more and more those triggers will not produce quick fix reactions, which are self serving most of the time. After all it’s only self serving reactions that cause suffering and it’s reaching for a quick fix that keeps one trapped in Conditioned Mind Patterns that control you as if you were a puppet on a string…
