The incessant need to analyze life limits it. Understanding is different than analyzing because it allows for the awareness of exactly what’s there instead of what’s thought to be there…
Most of what happens in life is unexplained, but that doesn’t stop the mind from analyzing it or continuously trying to find an explanation. I have found the unexplained is best left alone because an answer wouldn’t really enhance life. As things occur, analyzing what’s associated with existence does assist to a degree, but only if it’s not allowed to control your life like a master puppeteer. Most people are limited by the incessant need for to analyze life, but understanding something is different because it allows for the awareness of exactly what you’re up against (your own mind). This awareness allows the mind to settle and lessen the need for analytical answers which aren’t truly needed. The analysis of addiction doesn’t stop one from being an addict, but an understanding of addiction may; as a matter of fact this is exactly what happened to me.
The Universe needs no analysis in its process nor does the origin of a thought need to be analyzed. The understanding of how thoughts are attached to and what behaviors manifest from their attachment is the difference between being at peace with life or struggling with it. Some will disagree with this and it’s their right, but I know by understanding my behavior and how it was based to self-serve, it gave me something tangible to use to see how much control my Conditioned Mind had over me. Past tense is used because its control is much less today. Analyzing why this occurs doesn’t enhance the ability to be free of the Conditioned Mind, but an understanding of this certainly does. It’s through the discipline of sitting that the mind can settle enough to become aware that analyzing what happens in life will not enhance it in the way understanding our own mind will…
