"I" Addiction

If it wasn’t for the attachment to an “I” that creates bondage, addiction would be non existent because the craving of an “I” based life to be in some other way would never occur…

Each day most of our waking hours are spent trying to arrange the day to an “I” liking, the only problem with this is most of our day is wasted trying to arrange the day to an “I” liking. This occurs because we have been conditioned to believe there’s an “I” that needs things to be different. This conditioning keeps the mind addicted to this “I” which creates a constant state of agitation; when the mind is agitated it will use whatever tools it has developed. Not so much to quiet the agitation, but more so to distract from it. The distractions in this case manifest as Conditioned Mind Patterns that are constantly trying to arrange life by using whatever it deems necessary to satisfy ”I”.

If it wasn’t for the need to satisfy “I” the cravings to want life to be in some other way wouldn’t exist. This agitation is the cause of the constant rearranging of life and it’s because of “I” needing life to be a certain way, but something would exist without the addiction to a this “I” and that would be peace; the peace of just being because the addiction to the “I” wouldn’t exist. If you don’t think this is true, it’s probably because of the addiction to “I” that’s not allowing your mind to settle so you can be aware of the peace that passes all understanding and go beyond the cravings brought on by “I” wanting things to be in some other way. Until this changes, nothing changes…
