You can only do what the conditioning in place allows. Unless you wake up to see what this conditioning is, it will remain in place and mind pleasure will be the driving force of it your existence…
Everything reached for is a coping mechanism you have been conditioned to use. And although using different things will produce different outcomes, the core of all reaching is the same; it arises from trying to satisfy mind pleasure. This is what causes one to constantly need to seek pleasure, but it isn’t real. The Conditioned Mind makes one believe it is and the ensuing behavior manifest to fill this need. The Conditioned Mind says, Hey, you need to reach for something to fill this mind pleasure. According to what conditioning you have in place, that will be what you reach for; sit and ponder this for a while.
Until this is understood and the diabolical Conditioned Mind is seen for what it truly is, suffering will remain because you will always have a need to reach for something to fulfill the arisen mind pleasure. There’s nothing inherently wrong with pleasure, but when it’s the driving force of existence, it will keep the mind in a constant state of agitation. This cannot be seen by a mind that’s locked in this state. Only a quiet mind state will be aware of this. The reason why anything is reached for is because one thinks there’s a need for the present moment to be different; this is the lie of the Conditioned Mind. You can only do what the conditioning in place allows and unless you wake up to see this, your conditioning will remain in place and satisfying your mind pleasure will be the driving force of your existence…
