Outer Interpretation

If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, the outer interpretations will have less control as your mind agitations subside. And without these agitations you’ll never have a need to interpret anything from the outer…

If you’re always seeing life from the eyes of outer interpretations, those things will be judged accordingly and what’s going on beneath the outer will not be noticed. Although with an outer minded interpretation, life still goes on, but it’s very limited almost to the point of being delusional; I say this because of forty nine years of experience which caused my life to be a constant struggle. The constant struggle was self created and controlled by my outer interpretations, although this wasn’t understood at the time. An outer interpretation is one where there is constant needing which is caused by the mind agitations that aren’t seen. This is why someone will reach for anything without giving it much thought regardless if it’s beneficial or not. In that moment, the Conditioned Mind deems it beneficial, but this is a big fat lie.

The outer interpretation will only be noticed when the Conditioned Mind stops its incessant busyness. One will have to be able to just be for the busyness to subside; you will not see the essence of the forest from the trees if the mind is busy being focused on the outer trees. This outer interpretation is strictly mind based. Hence the reason it’s not conducive to one’s well-being is it’s unstable as there are so many things on the outer to interpret, one right after another. This is why the big fat lie is in the forefront of most lives and stillness takes a back seat. If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, less and less the outer interpretation will be in control because the mind agitations will subside. It will be at this point that the need to reach outside for something will be lessened, and it will probably be the first time in your life that this has happened…
