As long as the mind needs to do something, it can’t be at peace; at the core of this is the sense of self. The sense of self may be the hardest concept to let go of because it’s interwoven with just about every thought. It has also been in place since your existence began, but it’s not the sense of sense that’s controlling, it’s the attachment to it. I have a sense of self, how can I not there’s existence, but the attachment to it has lessened significantly in the last twelve years. This has opened enough space to allow what’s in place today, this is not to say I don’t sometimes attach to the sense of self, but never like the first forty nine years of my life.
What most people who question what I write about don’t realize is I understand how my mind works because I’ve sat and investigated why I reacted and did the thing that I did. Very few truly investigate their Conditioned Mind and this leads to it being in control. This doesn’t make me better or smarter than anyone knowing this, but by having an understanding of the lies that I lived by for so many years, this does allow me to not attach to them. I would have to say therein lies the difference between being attached to the sense of self or being free of it. This also creates the difference between being limited by a doing sense of self and not being limited by attachment…
