If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, your non-beneficial view will have less control as your mind agitations subside; without these agitations you will understand truth intuitively…
If you’re always seeing life from a non-beneficial view, what is seen will be accepted accordingly and what’s truly going on will not be noticed. Although with a non-beneficial view life still goes on, but it’s very limited to the point of being delusional; I say this because it’s how I lived for forty nine years and it caused my life to be a constant struggle. The constant struggle was controlled by a non-beneficial view, although this wasn’t understood at the time. A non-beneficial view is one where there‘s constant reaching, the reaching is caused by the mind agitations that aren’t seen. This is why someone will reach for something without giving it much thought regardless if it’s beneficial or not. In that moment the non-beneficial conditioning declares it beneficial, but this is a big fat lie.
The non-beneficial view will only be noticed when you wake up and see the constant mind agitations. You will have to be able to just be for the agitations to subside; you will not see the true essence of life if the view is agitated. This non-beneficial view is strictly mind based. Hence the reason it’s not conducive to your well being is because there is so much conditioning that causes the mind to be constantly agitated. This is why the big fat lie is in the forefront of most lives and stillness takes a back seat. If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, less and less the non-beneficial view will be in control because the mind agitations will subside. It will be at this point that the need to reach for something will be lessened as it’s probably the first time in your life that the non-beneficial view has taken a back seat…
