Beneficial Tools

Everyone uses the tools they think are beneficial or they wouldn’t develop them, but that doesn’t mean they are the most beneficial tools available. If a tool is truly beneficial it will never cause suffering to you or others…

You can only use the tools that have been developed to react to life situation. Whatever ones that have been developed to cope with life whether it be alcohol, drugs, anger, programs, therapy, medication, suicide, cutting, fantasizing, success, wealth, poverty, race, greed, envy, false pride, religion, tv, politics, sex, food, and so on, they are only used because they’re thought to be the beneficial. If the developed tools stop working, new ones will need to be developed. If no new ones are developed, the old ones will be used again and again, regardless if they were beneficial or not; there’s no way around this.

You’ll know when you are using the most beneficial tools available because they will never cause you or anyone else to suffer. What’s meant by a beneficial tool is reflected in the actions that you manifest. If there’s conflict within that causes conflict with others, something isn’t right. The beneficial tools will never cause conflict because that would equate to suffering. The gauge to see if the tools being used are truly the most beneficial available is in how much attachment one has. Attachment is the cause of all suffering so it’s a true gauge that can be used.

Self investigation is also a tool, matter of fact every reaction you have is the result of a developed tool. A beneficial tool will never cause suffering, this is a fact. It can’t because it’s based in the quietness of love. Tools that are based in attachment to satisfy yourself cause suffering and this occurs regardless if you think you’re using a beneficial tool. Love doesn’t attach or ever cause suffering, nor do developed tools, as long as they’re truly beneficial…
