Conflict-to end it, we must know how to produce it. The easiest way is to try to be free from something.
Free to experience what ever arises in my way.
What is important to me?
What am I anxious about?
Is it possible that making things important produces anxiety?
Is anxiety making something important to continue that may change, or wanting to change something that may continue?
IF it were possible for you to change whatever it may be that you want to change, do you know what this would bring about in 6 mos. 1 yr 5 yrs etc?
Do you know what your present situation would be had you done anything different in the past?
Would it appear that the desire to change is based on incomplete data?
What is the state of mind when there is acceptance of what one is, (which is constantly changing) and of the world (which is always changing)?
Could this be called peace of mind?
Is it possible to be objective without peace of mind?
Is it possible to have passive alert extensive awareness without peace of mind?
Is it possible to have spontaneous creative living (X-pressing) without extensive alert awareness?
Is this integration (the union of awareness and X)?
One usually believes from conditioning that finally, when everything is like ‘it ought to be’, there will be peace of mind. So from an unpeaceful, a fretful mind, one attempts to produce peace. This attempt is just another way to be in a state of conflict-struggle-resistance, to continue dis-integration. Disintegration comes to an end whenever there is no conflict-resistance-struggle to change what is into my idea of ‘what ought to be’.
Again, do I know what ought to be?
From what “I” think “ought to be”, what will follow in 6 mos 1 yr, 5 yrs. etc.?
We simply do not know, do we?
When we don’t know what ought to be, is it possible to just accept what is without any struggle-conflict, resistance?
