Impermanence

Life is dynamic, it’s made into a burden because of thinking it’s always going to be the way that it is. This makes life delusional because what’s happening is impermanent…

Making something that’s occurring in the moment as if it’s always going to be this way is why life is made into gets a burden. But they’re not truly burdens, they take on the energy of form as if what’s occurring right now is always going to be this way. Once the energy of it’s always going to be this way is seen, the tool of impermanence can be applied. When you’re struggling with something, the greatest understanding you can have is that it’s your own mind that creates every obstacle to your inner peace. If impermanence isn’t understood, inner peace will never be had.

All things are impermanent even if they’re made permanent by your mind. This goes for everything, including life itself so no matter what it is, one day it will not be so, here is one of my favorite examples of this. If you visit a doctor because you’re not feeling well and are told you have a year to live, do you want to die 365 times or once? A mind that is settled can see the truth of this and hence the freedom and value of only dying once. Or not and die everyday until the time comes when conditions that support living in this form are no longer met. We are only visitors here regardless of what happens in life. How tight you hold onto something is a created burden because everything is temporary and impermanent…
