Self Created Discontentment: Enlightenment doesnt make one free. Enlightenment is one giving everything its freedom. The more this is lived by, the less chance there is of returning to some previous state of inner discontentment. I may not be what I should be, I may not be what I want to be, but I know in my heart Im not what I use to be and for that I am grateful. Although the subject line here is me this isnt about me. This is being written for anyone who has ever felt in this way and never understood how much of a deterrent this was in really being able to enjoy life. So much of my life was spent in of place of inner discontentment, and I was clueless as to why. The irony to this is it was my own mind that created this. I wasnt an angry person or physically harmful to others, but what this inner discontentment did to me was this, it kept me in a fluctuating mind state where I would be discontented, I would use something to make it go away, which most of the time wasnt something that wasnt in my best interest. Because of this the thing reached for didnt put me in harmony with life and it would cause a degree of drama in my life, the thing with this though, the drama was all self created. My day would begin, at some point I would become discontented, reach for something, be satisfied for a little while, become discontented, reach for something, be satisfied again, over and over this cycle was repeated and basically controlled the way I lived my life. The objects mean little except in the fact that the more destructive the thing used is, the more it affects life in a negative way. This is going on today for billions of people, it is why I have such a passion to try and get the message of what happened to me, out to as many as people as possible, because it doesnt have to be this way. Young, old, male, female, ethnic backgrounds, not to many people arent affected by this cycle. This cycle is the puppet on the string cycle. The origin of the discontentment needs to be understood it this cycle is to be halted. And its origin is the self serving mind, which keeps a person entrapped to the self serving mind. Imagine this, for forty nine years my life was spent in this cycle, but is isnt this way today. It doesnt mean things are perfect, but just the fact that I am not the person who I use to be is so freeing. And its so important to remain aware of this fact. I have no idea what others have gone through in their life. It matters little if what I see is what someone else sees. The important thing is to know that it was my own mind that created the cycle that kept me discontented for far to many years, and is not enslaving me the way it use to. I have learned many things in the last few years and one of them is to not compare my life with anyone elses. Whatever they see I may or may not see, but regardless, what I see is seen through the view the universe has given me. And what I have found as a valuable understanding to keep me from returning to my previous cycle is that Enlightenment doesnt make me free. Enlightenment is me giving everything its freedom. The more I live by this, the less chance I will have of ever returning to my previous state of discontentment.
