Need to Reach

When the need to reach for something arises it’s because the mind is in bondage to that particular need. Until this is seen you will remain in bondage to the needed fulfillment of the next thing reached for…

You will never find the fulfillment you’re seeking if you’re in bondage to the need of that fulfillment. Fulfillment is something that’s already within you, but because of the way your mind is conditioned, you get bound up in the need that fulfillment is something outside of you. This bondage makes the needed fulfillment you’re seeking impossible to grasp. This is also the reason you constantly need something from the outside. Until this is seen you will remain bound to the needed thought of fulfillment in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, god, and on and on, these are proof you’re in bondage. I can’t stress this enough as this bondage has to be seen if you are to experience true fulfillment in your life.

It’s impossible to think your way to fulfillment, what does have to happen if fulfillment is to be experienced is there has to be an understanding of why you’re not fulfilled; that you aren’t fulfilled is only because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises, the bondage to the need begins; this bondage is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break free from. Fulfillment isn’t something attained or achieved so it’s in doing less that you’re fulfilled. To many people get lost in trying to attain fulfillment, but it’s something that’s already within; the binding need about attaining fulfillment needs to be discarded so you can see this. This is not easy to grasp, but I write so the bondage of your needs can be seen for what they are; the reason why you aren’t fulfilled…
