If you’re always seeing life from the outer perspective of what the eyes see, what’s seen will be judged accordingly as what’s going on out there will form judgments and inner peace will not be noticed. Although with an outer mind perspective life still goes on, it’s very limited almost to the point of being purely superficial; I say this because it’s how I lived for forty nine years and it caused my life to be a constant struggle. The constant struggle was self created and controlled by the outer perspective, although this wasn’t understood at the time. An outer perspective life is one where there is constant reaching and the reaching is caused by the out there mind agitations which aren’t seen.
This is why someone will reach for anything without giving it much thought regardless if it’s beneficial or not; in that moment the Conditioned Mind deems it beneficial, but this is a big fat lie.
The outer perspective will only be noticed when the out there mind stops its incessant chatter. You will have to be able to just be for the chatter to subside; you will not see the essence of the forest from the trees if the mind is focused on the trees. This outer perspective is strictly mind based, hence the reason it’s not conducive to one’s well being and unstable. This is why the big fat lie is in the forefront of most lives and stillness takes a back seat. If you have some awareness of inner stillness, less and less the outer perspective will be in control because the mind agitations will subside. It will be at this point that the need to reach for something out there will be no more; it’s probably the first time in your life that this happens…
