The Need to Reach

When there’s a need to reach for something for satisfaction, it has to be addressed or you‘ll remain in the grip of the reaching and you will always have to satisfy some inner need…

What’s missed by most people is the understanding that all reaching is the same regardless of what’s being reached for. The reaching itself is all the same and make no mistake when you reach you’re in prison. There are so many prisons, from ayahuasca, to Heroin, a Hersey chocolate kiss, love, God, or whatever, the reaching is what needs to be focused on. Nobody just reaches for something, there’s a need to be filled so let’s go and reach for something. This is where the misunderstanding occurs because one thinks reaching for ayahuasca is different than reaching for Heroin. The true nature of the reaching isn’t identified so you remain the same even though the things being used are different. It's easier to justify when you’re reaching to help others than reaching for Heroin, but it’s still reaching to fill a need. I share my experience on why there’s a need to reach. It was revealed to me that reaching is the cause of all my problems because self-centeredness is the reachings supportive energy.

You may think it’s crazy how reaching for God is the same as reaching for a drink of alcohol or that reaching for ayahuasca is the same as reaching for Heroin, but it is because it all arises from the inability to truly be present. If there’s need it will be reinforced by the reaching; if this isn’t understood you’ll remain in your prison. Understanding this is difficult and it’s why I don’t push to develop a program or I won’t become a life coach; to me it’s all nonsense. I will point anyone to look within to find their own inner beauty; the only thing needed is to learn to live with what’s here now. This is what should be pointed to, but because the need to reach isn’t understood there’s reaching for the next fix so you remain its prisoner…
