Inner Disturbances

All disturbances arise from within yourself; they’re from your internal mind chaos. Without discipline, the mind will never settle nor will the disturbance of needing to reach for something externally…

The world is in a state of chaos, but not with each other as you may think, it’s with ourselves. The lack of understanding of your own mind is the cause of all inner disturbances; most people haven’t a clue this is the cause of all internal chaos. We lash out at people, have road rage, try to change people, constantly seek to alter the way we feel because we were never taught how to just be with life as it is, and be with who we are as we are. There would never be a need to have anything or anyone different if you had the ability to just be with life. If you don’t have a certain contentment with the way things are, what makes you think that if things were different there would be contentment; you would still have disturbances that make you reach for things externally.

There’s external reaching because you want to alter how you feel. My mind was always disturbed, and because there wasn’t an understanding of the Conditioned Mind, my disturbances weren’t understood. It didn’t matter what happened, by not having the ability to just be, the mind becomes disturbed and chaos arises. Nothing causes a disturbance unless it’s allowed. If something bothers you and it can be changed by all means change it, but it needs to be looked at why there’s a disturbance to begin with. Even if the thing is changed, without an understanding of your own mind, you will just move onto the next thing which will just cause you to become disturbed once again…
