When you get caught up in the need to reach for something to provide peace, you become this thoughts prisoner if it’s not understood peace isn’t in the next thing reached for…
You’ll never find peace if you’re caught up in the thought of finding peace. Peace is something that’s already within you, but because of the way the mind is wired, you get caught up in your thoughts that peace is something to find. Unfortunately being caught up makes the very thing you are seeking (peace) elusive. Being caught up is the reason you’re constantly reaching for something from the outside. Until this is understood you’ll remain caught up in the thoughts that peace is in the next thing reached for. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, success, programs, therapy, self help books and on and on, this reaching is proof that you’re caught up. Can you see this? I can’t stress this enough as being caught up to your thoughts has to be seen if you’re to truly experience peace in their life.
No one thinks their way to peace, but what does have to happen if one is to be at peace is there has to be an understanding of why you’re not at peace. The proof that you are not at peace is in your inability to not reach. When the need to reach for something arises, being caught up begins. Being caught up is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break free from. Peace isn’t something attained or achieved so it’s in doing less that peace arises. To many people get lost (caught up) in trying to find peace, but since it’s something that’s already within you, the caught up thoughts about finding it need to be discarded so you can see. I don’t make light that this is easy to see, but I do offer my assistance in any way that I can. Understand though, this isn’t offered to help you find peace, it’s offered so you may possibly uncover the reason why you’re not at peace…
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.
