Everything Changes

Life is based on the inevitable fact that “everything changes” and regardless if this fact is accepted or not, change still happens. Resistance to change is where one’s problem lies…

Everything changes, understanding this one phrase helps one understand one of the most important aspects of life. The more one is resistant to change, the more discontented one will be because of the nature of things. The tighter one holds onto resisting change, the tighter will be the chains that imprison you.

Understand nothing stays the same, ever. Our life is constantly changing, so why resist something that’s going to happen anyway. You can want something to stay as it is, but that will not stop it from changing. You can go to the gym to keep your body a certain way, but eventually your body will change, no matter how hard you work out. There’s nothing wrong with working out hard, just understand one day your body will not be the way it is now. If you can’t accept this, you will have a difficult time. You can substitute the working out with anything. How about losing your hair, or getting older looking, or getting sick, or having a loved one get sick or die with or without warning. This list can go on forever, you get the point.

Change happens all the time, it’s inevitable. Acceptance of it is optional as is the suffering that goes along with it. You will have to make the decision on whether you will resist change or if you will come to an understanding that “everything changes” and there isn’t a damn thing you can do that will stop it from happening; no matter how much you try to resist it. Change is a natural part of life. It’s inevitable it will happen and unless it’s resisted, you can remain free as if the change had never occurred, but it will take an understanding that “everything changes” no matter how much one doesn’t want it to be so…

Seeing the Light

Everyone is born of light, it’s the conditioned mind that keeps one in darkness. The teachings of Jesus show us how to love so we can see this light, but many ignore these teachings and remain in the dark…

We live in a world designed for darkness, not evil, but darkness, there is a difference. Just because a person is unconscious doesn’t make them evil. If you look around, the self centeredness of our world is rampant. People go out of their way to deny Jesus’s teachings of love and thus they deny themselves love’s light, but it’s only because they’re unaware that it’s their own darkness that blocks them from seeing the light. If there is an evil in this world this is it.

Jesus pointed and gave us a way to our own heart through his love. He gave us a path to the Father (Universal Love) through his love for us and this is a path to our own inner light. Ignore this if you want and remain in the conditioned darkness, but understand you not only bring suffering to yourself, but you bring suffering to all humanity because darkness keeps one from spreading the light to others, and although Springtime and Easter are synonymous with renewal and light, it will only be when unconditional love is truly understood that one will see the light…

Seeking Pleasure

The most important thing to understand about seeking pleasure is the less attachment to “I” there is the less you will seek because without “I” there’s no one who needs the next pleasure…

Seeking pleasure is so enticing because it actually feels good; this is why seeking it is so powerful. There’s only issue with this because of the impermanent nature of pleasure. It simply will not last, it has no staying power so something will always be sought almost immediately following the attainment of each pleasure. Think about it, with all the pleasures that have been attained throughout your life regardless of what it was, it doesn’t bring the pleasure now that it brought at that time. Most times even if the same exact pleasure is physically repeated it’s usually not as pleasurable as the first experience. I used so many things as I was seeking pleasure, but it was never lasting; the need for the next pleasure always arose. This went on all the time, attaining one pleasure after another and never being satisfied. 

I’ve come to understand that seeking pleasure is the main reason people start using alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, money, tobacco products and an array of other things. If pleasure wasn’t sought, nothing would be reached for so there would never be seeking; unfortunately the seeking of pleasure has its way with people. It’s deeply ingrained in the subconscious and has been in place since existence began. 

I know seeking pleasure is what controlled me for forty nine years and it was directly associated with “I”. Without “I” no one is there to seek. Even with this understanding seeking pleasure doesn’t just disappear, but it does subside somewhat. To me, the most important thing to understand about this is, the less attachment there is to “I” the less you will seek pleasure because without “I” there’s no one who needs the next pleasure…
