Clarity, Lasting Peace and the play of conclusions

When we think ourselves to clarity or peace we cheat ourselves out of true inspiration and wisdom.

It is like a hit... a trip that you will inevitably come down from. A crash so to speak.

Clarity, lasting peace needs to come from a deeper place than mind. This is a tricky thing.

The fluctuating emotions can diverge us back to mind. To swirl and find a solution for the pain, the hurt or whatever it is. Mind creates a story or a judgement. We look for an "AH HAH!" way out. A way to not feel those uncomfortable emotions; we need a sort of answer to be at ease again; a conclusion.

This is all the play of ego mind.
It constantly needs a HIT of something to keep it up. Some sort of ideology, concept ...whatever.

If we go into the depth of the emotion without the SPIN of emotional mind; but THE PRESENCE of emotion...A really going into, a real being with, so much so thats all there is; with out fixing or thinking our way out again...A despair may come...this is also ego...as it truly crashes from its trip.... after this certain hopelessness comes the wisdom of the soul. Comes the SPONTANEOUS un-thought provoked inspiration and understandings. This is the wisdom of the heart...our inner guru.

If we habitually retreat to the mind to bring us "back" to clarity, or in this sense a sort of ILLUSORY security... If we habitually try to get rid of, or fix...We will continue to manifest these situations that stimulate the rise of these uncomfortable emotions. If we keep avoiding we will miss what the universe is trying to integrate and teach us through our feeling body.
