Clinging to Form

When there’s a need to reach for something because of a mind agitation it’s because you are clinging to form. Until this is seen you will remain clinging as you seek to quiet the mind agitation with the next thing reached for.

You will never find the peace you’re seeking if you’re clinging to form because the form seeking is why you’re not at peace. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are con you cling to form which makes you think peace is something outside of you. Unfortunately this clinging to form makes the very thing you are seeking impossible to grasp. This clinging is the reason you constantly reach for something from the outside, until this is seen you’ll remain clinging to a form that thinks peace is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this reaching is proof that there’s clinging to form. I can’t stress this enough as this clinging to your form has to be seen if you‘re to experience true peace in your life.

It’s impossible to think your way to understanding this. What has to happen if there’s to be an understanding of this is why you cling to a form is because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises clinging to form begins. This clinging to form is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break. Breaking free of form and being at peace isn’t something attained or achieved so by doing less (detachment) peace is experienced. Too many people get lost (cling) trying to find peace through the attachment to form, but since it’s something that’s already within you, the clinging is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but it’s why I share so the clinging to form can be seen for what it is; the cause of why you aren’t at peace…
