When there’s a need for something outside yourself it’s because of a mind trap. Until this is seen you will remain trapped as you seek to quiet your mind with the next thing you think is needed…
You will never find the peace you’re seeking because seeking is a mind trap. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, the seeking of peace becomes a mind trap. Unfortunately a mind trap makes the very thing you’re seeking impossible to grasp. A mind trap is the reason you constantly look for something from the outside. Until this is seen you’ll remain in a mind trap thinking peace is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this is proof that there’s a mind trap. I can’t stress this enough as this mind trap has to be seen if you‘re to experience peace in your life.
Why there’s a mind trap is because of the inability to just be. When the need to look for something arises, the mind trap begins. This mind trap is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break. Breaking free of the mind trap and being at peace isn’t something attained or achieved. It’s by doing less (detaching) that peace is experienced. Too many people get lost (mind trap) trying to find peace through outer attachments. Since peace is something that’s already within you, the mind trap is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but look inward so the mind trap can be seen for what it is; the cause of why there’s a need to seek a peace that’s already in place…
