Understanding Practice

Understanding and learning from a practice allows for those who were once lost to possibly be found, and those who were once blind to possibly see, but only if there’s a practice in place that understands this…

If there isn’t some kind of practice in place so your can understand your behavior, it will be difficult to proceed in a direction where there will be any expansion in your life. The first thing to understand is if you even have a practice that’s practical and beneficial. I don’t mean the practice of belonging to certain groups, although there’s nothing wrong with that, but if it’s in place to just keep you busy, it’s not really a beneficial practice. Although it is a practice, the understanding of how it’s working to quiet the mind or how it keeps the mind agitations at bay, is what one needs to understand for the continuous expansion of life’s process. I’m sharing this because this is what has allowed me to be as I am today. There’s no magic to this, a beneficial practice has to be understood if one is to experience beneficial results, this is as simple as two plus two equaling four.

Understand your behavior, reactions, attachments, annoyances, and whatnot and see what is the driving force behind them. This driving force is your block to expanding beyond the nonsense of the Conditioned Mind. Without a solid practice in place that allows this to be understood, you might as well not practice at all because it’s just a waste of time and energy. Either do it so it’s truly beneficial or don’t do it at all. You can only be free by understanding what it takes to be free, and only a practice that puts you in harmony with life allows harmony with life; to me this makes sense. I practiced wrongly (not understanding) for many years and it produced results that weren’t beneficial, but I understand this now and learned from this. Because of this understanding, where I was once lost, I’m now found and where I was once blind, I now see, but only because of having a practice that understands this…
