Surface Trap

The senses are directly linked to a view that’s a surface trap. If you really want to understand your life, you’ll have to get very quiet and become aware of how subtle the surface trap is…

Through the senses life is a trap, and those traps are constantly being set. Everything has a labeled trap, even labeling a spoon on counter is a trap. Not a harmful one, but a trap just the same. When you learn not to label you can become aware of the traps that keep you from going beyond surface living. With this new awareness your mind finally settles enough to notice a deeper view. This is the initial awareness, but it will require much more practice to go deeper yet. The deeper you go, the more you will have to let go of the material world which is a sensory trap. The more the surface trap is let go of, the more you will understand the deeper view and the freer you will be.

The only reason life is viewed on the surface by so many people is because the quietness that’s necessary to view it differently isn’t practiced. This isn’t something that is wrong, but it is limiting. Without the discipline to understand the difference between surface trap and the deeper view, there will be no difference and the surface trap will be the only view that you will have. Not wrong, but it is a trap, and what is trapped is your surface view…
