The Conditioned Mind creates a view based in fulfilling irrelevant wanting. It’s difficult to break free of this because irrelevant wanting is reinforced daily. A mind aware of this is aware of awareness…
To me, life struggles have nothing to do with life, it’s the view based in irrelevant wanting that causes struggles; this view is controlled by the Conditioned Mind. When irrelevant wanting is fulfilled and things are going your way, there’s not much of a struggle; life is considered good. When things are going the way that you want, what causes your struggles are pushed aside. When this is done it makes the base of life centered in irrelevant wanting as you get pulled around by the Conditioned Mind like a dog on a leash.
The more control the Conditioned Mind has, the more suffering there is in your life. Sometimes it’s very subtle, but it’s there. As a matter of fact even if you’re not aware of being controlled by your irrelevant wanting, it still produces suffering. The suffering doesn’t occur because you don’t get your way, it occurs just by being in a state where the irrelevant wanting of the Conditioned Mind is in control.
The less the irrelevant wanting which just wants what you want when you want it, is the base of your view, the less you struggle with yourself and with life. This is simply because irrelevant wanting isn’t in control. When you’re unaware of this, the Conditioned Mind creates chaos by irrelevant wanting; there’s immense suffering in this. Practice being in a space of presence where there is no irrelevant wanting. In this space. you don’t have irrelevant wanting so you don’t entertain the energy that causes suffering; a free mind is energy free of irrelevant wanting…
