The Addict

Like a drug addict that promises to clean up their act, our mind promises we will do better next time. Our ego cannot face the truth that, as long as we have to search for the answer, we will never find it.

Like the addict, we are trying to escape from ourselves and find the way to a better existence. We want to go back to a time before the pain began and we lost our way.

The mind and the ego are full of excuses.  The imagination is like a drug and able to fantasize endless possibilities, but neither the mind nor ego can bring peace. 

Peace is the end of all searching and imagining. Peace is knowing the true self within our consciousness.
