You MUST PRACTICE, then you will see:
Thought is Search
The Search for pleasure of the senses.
Thought only arises when there is sufficient
absence of pleasure and security.
Thought searches memory for ways to return
to pleasure and security.
Pleasure and security are relative.
Depending on our current and past experience
of pleasure and security, our thoughts will
strive as far as their known horizon allows.
Obsession is the over-attachment to pleasure
and security; even if the object is seen
as painful or insecure by others.
Obsession is a less intrusive word used
for Addiction.
The general nature of Addiction is to breed
imbalance, which further strengthens it.
Lack of balance can be paralleled to our
degree of attachment.
When the mind becomes threatened it looks
to it’s attachments for solace and
perceived balance.
People, places, ideas, beliefs, drugs,
habits, feelings, emotions, television,
sex, alcohol, work, shopping, technology,
thinking and religion are all common objects
of attachment.
Attachments become escapes when they are
returned to routinely and connected to the
pleasure and security centers of the brain.
When a mind becomes bored, it is going
through withdrawal from attachments.
Observation of thoughts and it’s
reward of distance from thought itself,
leads to freedom.
Freedom is the ability to move without
restrictions imposed from within or outside
the mind.
The general nature of Freedom is to breed
balance, with further strengthens it.
Balance is Happiness.
Happiness is Freedom.
