Being stuck in a house because there isn’t awareness of an outside is like a person who thinks life is about what goes on between their ears…
The other day I was talking to someone about being stuck in a rut of wanting life different. My reply was this: You’re only stuck when you live in the space between your ears. As the road to happy destiny is trudged, your conditioning slowly changes, but contentment shouldn’t be based on this change. I’ve come to an understanding of life that it’s perfect when it’s accepted as it is; it’s perfect in its imperfections. Until this was understood my searching for perfection remained in place. That’s what one’s search is really all about anyway; trying to have things the way you think they should be.
For me my searching ended when I understood my conditioning is not me. I don’t try to be anything or achieve a certain state, I am what I am. This is my place of peace and the great thing about this is it’s not dependent on anything. Read your books, sit in meditation, go to the gym, do yoga and whatnot, but none of these things nor will anything else stop the searching. That is until it’s realized what’s here right now is what you are searching for…
