The restless mind and its never ending search for security and safety needs at times to escape the hum drum day, the boredom and go to places, a bus journey, an event, a new book, a TV epic and so on.
I have noticed when I go to the place where I will find peace and fulfillment obviously the same mind set accompanies me, I thought I would escape the boredom or whatever and yet when the journey, the book and the epic film has gone the same mind set returns.
Sometimes I have in mind the place and it seems to relieve the pressure and sometimes even after a big AH HA I want to go and share my insight ---but where---I'll go and have a big meal or a treat to continue the lovely lift of the insight.
The tricky mind then wants a repeat and is not satiated or content it needs more of the same and then begs the question was the AH HA genuine or an ego release strategy and bring one back to its demands and conditioning, a little treat to stop bashing me the ego says.
Yet I observe and realise the AH HA is yet another step leading towards the pathless and goalless way, the way of no way, there is no truth or ultimate state or enlightenment there only stations on the endless journey to the somewhere of the nowhere.
Life is a moving scenario a staircase that neither rises or falls, it is not a staircase or any other contraption in its description, it has no description and is formless and the process is just that.
For if one were to arrive it would be stationary and eventually back into the boredom and going places no matter where in the Universe it would not have a place where I hope it would be, there is no destination only the process of what is.
