Have you ever wondered?

Have you ever wondered why life appears to be difficult and so desperately unhappy at times??? Have you ever thought that it had the slightest thing to do with you, that you create every single event, good bad or indifferent that occurs within your life! I know all this have studied it for years, and yet I still fall back into the "human" way for thinking, thus creating a challenging and at times heartbreaking life. Returning to the total state of pure being is a full time commitment to the self, one that requires your full dedication to allow fulfillment and harmony to reign completely in your life, to be still and centred, always present and aware. To know that the ego mind is in fact your downfall, it is designed to see you fail, it loves the heartache, the problems and your unhappiness. People are their own worst enemy, it is never an event or situation outside of the self that creates these situations or feelings, it is the self that does it, and the reason for this is its addiction to disharmony, pain and suffering. The most important thing to remember if you are on the path to enlightenment, returning to a state of stillness and peace, is to know and understand this principal, know your mind, still your mind and stay in the NOW and you will be well on your way to achieving the stillness, peace and happiness you crave.
