The inner tension that keeps you from your peace has nothing to do with life. The inner tension is a creation of your own mind that makes you believe you’re not at peace…
There are practical ways to minimize the inner tension that causes one to sabotage their own existence, but it has to be understood that the mind creating the tension can’t undo what it creates. You’ll have to find out why your own mind is telling you tension is needed to cope with life; a mind that is controlled by the conditioning to create inner tension. Your own mind creates all the inner tension you have by choosing to attach to thoughts that give the tension energy; this unconscious conditioning is why inner tension arises. The Conditioned Mind creates this as you do things that are destructive to your own well being. Why this inner tension is developed I’m not sure, but I do know it can be described only as insane because your own mind creates it.
I know now it was my own mind that created inner tension which arose from within myself. Because of the shift that occurred some years ago there‘s now awareness so tension isn’t created the way it was in the past. I sit for the sole purpose to develop discipline which allows the mind to settle. If there isn’t discipline, your conditioning won’t be understood nor will the reason inner tension arises. This will lead you to being led around like a puppet on a string. Life does nothing to you, it’s your own mind that creates your life. Living in a place of tension as opposed to a place of peace will never be different until the conditioning that makes it so is different. All I ever wanted was to be at peace, but it was always elusive because I wasn’t aware it was my own mind that created the inner tension that made peace elusive…
