When life is viewed with common sense it’s seen that things are as they are mostly because of the lack of discipline that a quiet mind provides. Common sense allows the mind to settle into a state that’s pure, innocent, and free…
When we apply common sense to life it’s so much more beneficial than relying on the made up stories the defy common sense. Simply stated; a man and woman performed a deed many years ago and our life began. The common sense here is a deed was performed that allowed energy to transform and we’re the result of it. Nothing magical; a condition was satisfied that allowed birth. At the start of existence there’s nothing yet developed as far as the Conditioned Mind is concerned, so we’re pretty much pure, innocent and free.
The common sense here is there’s nothing yet developed for life not to be pure, innocent, and free. But as we grow older and influences begin to mold and condition our mind, the pure, innocent, and free state slowly gets replaced by whatever influences we’re surrounded by. This is the beginning of our Conditioned Mind Patterns, and unfortunately what the base of most of these influences are is self serving. So we develop a Conditioned Mind that revolves around satisfying a self that has been influenced to be this way.
The Conditioned Mind blocks this common sense approach as too simplistic so it can hold onto its story. The truth is living inwardly is the most beneficial way, but it will only occur if one is quiet enough to see it. And if this isn’t seen the mind will use a conditioned story of why living inwardly isn’t for you and your approach to life will not be seen from a common sense state. This prevents you from returning to the pure, innocent, and free state and unfortunately because of this, life remains based in making decisions from a self serving mind and it will remain a struggle regardless of what outward changes are made…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
