When there’s a need for something outside yourself it’s because of a mind prison. Until this is seen you will remain in prison as you seek to quiet your mind with the next thing you think is needed…
You will never find the peace you’re seeking because the seeking is why you’re not at peace. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, the seeking of peace becomes a mind prison. Unfortunately a mind prison makes the very thing you’re seeking impossible to grasp. A mind prison is the reason you constantly look for something from the outside. Until this is seen you’ll remain in a mind prison thinking peace is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this is proof that there’s a mind prison. I can’t stress this enough as this mind prison has to be seen if you‘re to experience true peace in your life.
It’s impossible to think your way to understanding this. Why there’s a mind prison is because of the inability to just be. When the need to look for something arises, the mind prison begins. This mind prison is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break. Breaking free of the mind prison and being at peace isn’t something attained or achieved. It’s by doing less (detaching) that peace is experienced. Too many people get lost (mind prison) trying to find peace through outer attachments. Since peace is something that’s already within you, the mind prison is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but it’s why I share so the mind prison can be seen for what it is; the cause of why there’s a need to look for peace…
