Entrapment of Thought

If you keep allowing the entrapment of the past to control the present, the entrapped past will be where you live your life. This is unfortunate because of all the emotional pain this entrapped past carries into the present…

Reliving something that causes emotional pain is mind boggling because it’s your own mind that does this and it probably happens thousands of times throughout your life. This is why most people suffer endlessly because what happened in the past becomes the entrapment that’s constantly allowed into the present. Although the body is always in the present moment the mind is constantly entrapped somewhere else. Entrapped in thought is the constant state of most people, and if nothing is done to change this, you will continue to be entrapped in thought until existence in this form ends. This isn’t a philosophy or theory nor is it something I made up. You need only look at this for yourself to see this truth. If you don’t look at it, you will most likely remain stuck entrapped to your thoughts with no way out.

As a species we seem to be entrapped because looking at ourselves in an investigative way is not something that many people are willing to do. It’s so much easier to point the finger at someone else. Unfortunately when you point a finger at someone there are three pointing back at you; check this to see its truth. You can ignore this and remain entrapped to the story that everything will work out. Or you can take control of your life, at least to some extent, and stop the entrapment to the thoughts that cause your own suffering. After all, the same thoughts constantly arise, but if they’re not attached to them they’ll eventually stop, and so will the repeated entrapment of emotional suffering…
