For many, habits have way too much control over what is done today. Until this is identified and your habits are let go of, you will continue to be controlled by them as if you were a puppet on a string…
Understanding how to live peacefully today as opposed to living life from what is habitual, is the difference in being at peace or being controlled by your habits. When you’re living today you’re with true reality, not a reality made up of habits. When there isn’t the reality of today, there’s the delusional state of habitual living which makes for very little if any peace in your life.
The reality of what’s occurring today means if you’re reading this post, that’s reality. There’s nothing else going on beyond what’s happening now. There may be something going on between your ears, but that’s the created delusional state of habits (what isn’t). The bottom line is habitual living is not the reality of what’s occurring today.
The mind has been conditioned to think it has to use habits to create a life that’s better than the one that’s occurring today; this is what keeps you from truly living life. I’m not sure why this is, but I do know it has to do with influences beyond one’s control. To me what matters is to develop a disciplined method of sitting which allows you to break free of the habitual control of these influences. Control is control so the more you’re controlled by habits, the less reality there will be. Unless you live with the reality of today and learn how to identify your habitual influences, it will be impossible to ever be at peace because you’ll remain under the spell of a habitual reality…
