Don’t let the consequences of spontaneous reaching lull you into an unconscious state. All spontaneous reaching have consequences (attachment) regardless of what’s reached for…
If you’re always spontaneously reaching for something it’s because you don’t think what you have is enough. And if you don’t think you have enough, there will always be something to spontaneously reach for. Spontaneous reaching isn’t something that’s inherently a bad thing, why one reaches spontaneously is where issues arise; this is because one thinks something is missing. What is spontaneously reached for only matters to the degree in how the thing affects your life. To drink alcohol spontaneously in access has consequences much different than the impulse to go to a program to stop using those things. But the spontaneous reaching is the same and that’s what needs to be examined. Don’t let the different consequences of spontaneous reaching lull you into unconsciousness because all reaching leads to bondage in one form or another, and as stated this includes all impulses.
You might say that’s not true, being spontaneous to better yourself is a good thing, but that would mean you need things to be different to accept yourself. Accepting life exactly how it is in my experience, is the only place one will experience the peace of not needing to spontaneously reach to have things different. I’m not saying don’t better yourself, but if it’s at the expense of your peace of mind, where’s the benefit. I say go for the gold, just understand even if it’s attained you will find it’s not providing the benefits you thought it would; shortly afterwards more gold will be spontaneously reached for. Investigate this and see how spontaneous reaching arises from desire, and desire causes bondage (attachment) which causes suffering. Break free from the spontaneous reaching of desiring things different and you will inevitably stop suffering…
