As long as there is seeking there will always be seeking and one will remain stuck in place, exerting all kinds of energy, but not really getting anywhere…
What keeps a person stuck in place on the path of seeking is trying to manufacture peace, love, kindness, mindfulness, spirituality, and so on, instead of aligning yourself through discipline with the present moment. This is what doesn’t allows these attributes to arise naturally. This is also what keeps stuck energy in place. Stuck energy is circular (like a dog chasing its tail) so it’s never going to produce anything that’s going to get you to stop being stuck. You may think it stops because it’s given a different label, but as long as you think you have to do something to manufacture a certain desired result, stuck in place will continue regardless of what it’s called.
The seeking of desired results makes a person use an an array of things, from sweets, drugs, alcohol, gambling, tv, success, sex, programs, another book, retreats, meditation, and many other things. What these all have in common is they reinforce the stuck in place energy of seeking which is attached to by the Conditioned Mind. A true transformation of the spirit cannot be manufactured. This is because seeking energy is the exact energy that blocks the alignment that allows energy to transform. Only when you stop being stuck in place can a transformation or shift occur. As long as there is seeking there will always be seeking and you will remain stuck in place, exerting all kinds of energy, but not really getting anywhere…
