Thinking Trap

When you’re thinking you need something to provide peace, you’re in a thinking trap. Until this is understood you’ll remain trapped in thinking (the belief) that peace is external…

There will never be peace in life as long as you’re trapped in thinking you need to find peace. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds become programmed we get trapped in thinking that peace is something to find. Unfortunately this type of thinking is what makes the very thing you’re seeking (peace) elusive. Thinking is the reason there is constant reaching for something external, until this type of thinking is no more, you’ll remain trapped in thinking peace is external. Using drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, success, programs, therapy, self help books and so on is the proof you’re trapped. I can’t stress this enough as these thinking has to be seen if you’re to ever experience true peace.

Thinking of being at peace isn’t peace. What has to happen if you’re to ever be at peace is there has to be an understanding of why you think you’re not at peace. The reason why is because of the attachment thinking you’re not at peace. When you think you need to reach for something the trap arises. This is a programmed habit that’s very difficult to break. Peace isn’t something that can be grabbed so it’s in doing less that peace arises. Many get lost (trapped) in thinking to find peace, but since it’s something that’s already within, the thinking associated with finding it needs to be discarded so you can see it’s there. Although this isn’t easy to see, it’s imperative that thinking you’re not at peace is recognized so you can go beyond it…
