Mind Hunger

Although the pleasures of the world take on many forms, it’s the hunger of the mind that makes one seek them. This hunger can only be satisfied in stillness because when the mind is still there is no hunger…

One aspect of the Conditioned Mind is how it’s in a hunger seeking mode most of the time. The mind hungers to keep all the pleasure thoughts and discard the unpleasant ones; it spends most of its time doing this. Whether it’s weaving in and out of traffic, only to catch a red light and have all the cars that you passed pull up to the same light, or doing something and asking yourself why you did it. The reason for doing this is to strictly satisfy your mind hunger. That your own mind questions why you do what you do is how diabolical it is. But understand it’s only this way because of the way it has been conditioned.

The hunger seeking mode is not one which is in our best interest, but the Conditioned Mind doesn’t really care about that; control is all it cares about. It makes you think seeking pleasure is a necessity, but when the mind starts to settle and it loses its grip on you, you will see the fallacy of this. True pleasure is in stillness not in things, but the pleasure of stillness is not the same pleasure that the world offers. The pleasure of the world is based in lies, the pleasure of stillness is based in truth. It’s only in stillness that the hunger of the mind is satisfied. Not because it’s fed something, but because in stillness hunger never materializes so there is no hunger to feed…
