Imprisoned Mind

Being dependent on anything but life’s necessities creates a mind state that one becomes imprisoned to. This imprisonment is strictly of the mind and blocks love’s guiding energy so although you are alive, you never truly live…

A substance or object can seem like it holds you captive, but it’s your own mind that puts you in a place of being imprisoned. Without the mind telling you something is needed, dependency on anything would be non existent. The subtleness of this imprisonment is mind boggling. Take an alarm clock as an example, as soon as the alarm rings if the snooze button is hit, instantly you’re imprisoned because the mind wants the moment to be in different. This is the way being imprisoned works and if there isn’t awareness of this, it’s off to the races of being controlled by a Conditioned Mind that’s dependent on wanting things the way that it wants them.

Dependency and imprisonment takes on many forms: drugs, alcohol, gambling, talking about others, eating habits, pouting or sulking, social status, being miserly (cheap), trying to control situations and people, judging, lust, greed, envy, self righteousness, false pride, and the list goes on, but what all these have in common is they’re all external used by the Conditioned Mind to fix an internal lack problem. Until something is done to allow the mind to settle, this lack will probably be there until the last day of your life in this form. If this happens life will never truly be experienced in the way that it could be. Some dependencies may not seem as devastating as others, but whatever is used it doesn’t allow love to be your guiding energy. Life can’t be experienced from the imprisonment of your own mind and because of this life is never truly lived. Only love’s guiding energy allows you to truly live and only an unconscious dependency holds you in prison to your own mind and blocks this from occurring…
