The Conditioned Mind keeps you on a treadmill using the same mind to create and solve problems. A quiet mind allows you to get off the treadmill accepting what life gives as opposed to wanting it different…
When the mind becomes agitated, if the agitation is to be quieted the cause of it needs to be identified. An agitated mind can’t do this so you’ll need to get off the treadmill if there’s to be quiet. When it’s understood the problems you have are created by your own mind, it will also be known that the problems created cannot be solved with the same mind that’s creating them. Simply put, a mind that creates a problem cannot be used to fix the problem that it has created. An example would be a person who uses alcohol as an escape mechanism. At first it seems as though it provides the sought after release, but as time goes by it affects life in a way that it no longer provides the escape. It actually becomes the reason an escape mechanism is needed, but the person still uses the alcohol as the solution to escape the harm the alcohol is causing; insanity at it’s finest. The alcohol can be substituted with anything, what is used doesn’t really matter. How you get stuck on the treadmill of life is the point of this.
It’s the Conditioned Mind that keeps a person on the treadmill using the same mind to create and solve problems. I did this for years and today it’s not this way. It’s not that I have a different mind, but there’s a difference in the way it processes information. In a sense it’s different with the difference being there’s now quietness instead of constant agitations. What quietness allows is the awareness of the present moment and living and accepting what life gives as opposed to wanting it to be in some other way. Getting off the treadmill is the way it has to be if there’s going to be peace in your life…
