Holding on to anything is a prison, but the thing being held is only the sentence. The prison is the lie the Conditioned Mind creates that tells you holding on is needed to make life complete…
The reality of life is impermanence and because of this when there’s holding on, there has to be suffering. The suffering is directly related to what one holds onto and how tight the holding is. Impermanence is a natural phenomenon of life and since the nature of it can’t really be changed, the only way for the suffering not to occur is to learn how not to hold onto things. You can still enjoy all that life has to offer, but if true liberation is to be experienced, what’s held onto will have to fall away. I say fall away because many hold onto not clinging, and thus stay anchored in their suffering. Letting go isn’t really a doing, it’s why many remain trapped to the bondage of self. If true liberation is to be experienced, there will have to be awareness of the Conditioned Mind hold that’s in control. Few have this willingness because the conditioning in place doesn’t allow it, hence the need to hold onto things constantly rears its ugly head; thus causing suffering.
There’s holding on because the conditioning in place is based in a lie. When this lie is let go of that’s when truth is revealed. It’s not a truth that can be explained. The moment it’s explained there’s holding on because it becomes an idea, concept, or belief. This is why in stillness truth is revealed. All I know today (it’s not much) has been revealed to me. To truly stop holding onto the lie, it has to be seen that all holding on is a lie. If this isn’t seen, holding on continues along with its associated suffering. This moment needs no idea, concept, or belief to be. If you can see this, holding on is naturally lessened because right now exists free of the lie that something is needed to make life complete…
