Clinging to anything is a prison, but the thing being clung to is only the sentence, the prison is the lie the Conditioned Mind creates that tells you clinging is needed to make life different…
The reality of life is impermanence and because of this when there is clinging, there has to be suffering. The suffering is directly related to what one clings to and how tight the clinging is. Impermanence is a natural phenomenon of life and since the nature of it can’t really be changed, the only way for the suffering not to occur is to learn how not to cling to things. You can still enjoy all that life has to offer, but if true liberation is to be experienced, clinging will have to fall away. I say fall away because many cling to not clinging, and thus stay glued to their suffering. Letting go isn’t really a doing, it’s why many remain trapped to the bondage of self. If true liberation is to be experienced, there will have to be awareness of the conditioned mind clinging that’s in control. Few have this willingness because the conditioning in place doesn’t allow it, hence the need to cling to things constantly rears its ugly head thus causing suffering.
There’s clinging because the conditioning in place is based in a lie. When this lie is let go of that’s when truth is revealed. It’s not a truth that can be explained. The moment it’s explained there’s clinging because it becomes an idea, concept, or belief. This is why in stillness truth is revealed. All I know today and it’s not much, has been revealed to me. To truly stop clinging to the lie, it has to be seen that all clinging is a lie. If this isn’t seen, clinging continues along with its associated suffering. This moment needs no idea, concept, or belief to be. If you can see this, clinging is naturally lessened because right now exists free of its lie, and without the clinging lie, there’s simply no need to make life different…
