A Defined Life

Moving though a life that is psychologically defined by a persons conditioned consciousness is a life of contradiction and conflict. Is it possible for you to see in the moment just how utterly and completely controlled you are by the minds attachments? How that you have self hypnotized yourself into believing in your own self created ideals. Ideals that are the result of your insecurity and fear. Are you the result of your past? The projection of a self that is the image of what has been, the conditioning of a mind that exist in yesterdays perceived shortcomings and accomplishments. As long as you exist as the definition of what was, you will forever be seeking what should be. In the absolute moment you are undefined and unattached. If the mind moves through time/space seeking that which defines then one is escaping the truth of the absolute moment. The truth of the absolute moment is absent an ideological self or defined individuality.

This is freedom that is without a reference point. Freedom that has no origin and is not the result of any activity of the self. Such a mind has the clarity to see the moment not in terms of himself or herself, but that which is not a movement through time. It is meditation that is absent the one who meditates. If you think in terms of an "individualistic goal oriented existence" then all that is realized is fraught with the conflict of seeking and finding. What is found is "temporal illusion" which is absent any depth of understanding. One either understands each moment as it occurs independent of a self that is a product of the known or one is caught in "what should be" projected as a desired future. So a defined life is one that is planned and executed according to and predicated on ones self delusion.

When you live a defined existence you are dependent on psychological ideals that are ingrained in the mind. Dependency means attachment. Attachment that is the root cause of much emotional disturbance. Dependency creates an atmosphere of mutual exploitation that leads to suspicion, fear and ultimately psychological or physical violence. How does one exist in a society that is attached and dependent? Is it possible to be free from such an existence? Freedom is not a result of something. If it is then it is just another form of dependency. A person cannot "get free" or "cause freedom to happen". It is simply a state of existence that is the outcome of a mind that is totally aware of the reality of the moment. That awareness creates a capacity in ones consciousness that sees into the nature of attachment and dependency. That seeing and realization is its own action in the moment. Then one does not live the ideal of freedom, one simply is that freedom. Freedom that is not an ideal is the essence of simplicity. A life that is free and without definition is a life of simplicity and intelligence.
