Looking for the Cause of our Suffering

       10900546265?profile=original

       ~*~   The causes of our suffering are very important tools to understanding how we think, how we 

react to life and those around us, and how we generally cope with life.   People want quick fixes so they  

can "get on with it "  and continue living in the way they have chosen.   But is it wise to look for a cure or 

a remedy when you have not investigated the cause?    Many of life's ills are caused by the mind  -

how we think about ourselves, about others, letting our thoughts run rampant, living in the past, etc.  

For anything to manifest in the physical, it begins with the mind  -  habitual ways of thinking and wrong

perception.

      ~*~   The Buddha taught that if you can find the causes of your suffering, you have found the cure.

If thinking too much of past sad events are causing your anxiety and depression, then the answer is to 

correct thinking patterns and learn to still the mind and live in the Now.   Living in the past is bringing back 

old energy. Whatever happened has happened, and we cannot change the decisions that were made back 

then.Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but, decision-making is done in the Now, in the moment, and hindsight

is done in a time that is far-removed from the event.       That is when one can choose  Acceptance  -  

if nothing can be done about a past decision or even something that occurred beyond your control, then

meditating on acceptance and peace is the cure.    Right perception leads to right view.   

       ~*~   In order to be in control of our lives it is necessary to be mindful of our thoughts as well as our

actions.  Mindfulness is a valuable tool in many ways  -  it keeps our awareness in the present moment 

therefore allowing us to make more conscious decisions and perhaps save us from heartache and regrets later.  

Mindfulness also keeps our energy in the present moment as thoughts are also energy  -  wherever our mind

goes our energy goes.       Doing a few short meditations during the day where the mind is stilled and our

consciousness is in the Now, will refresh and give a quick recharge during working hours.

       ~*~   For lasting release of one's suffering, it is far better to find the cause than to look for a quick-fix.

There are more advantages in looking within for the cause of one's suffering, than spending money on the

many treatments being offered to mask one's pain.   Personal growth is the aim, and that is priceless. ~*~
