Default Re: The need to constantly consume

This is a life time problem for everyone. The mind runs in ruts. It doesn't like change and our spirits are being used by the body and mind. The mind is continually fed ideas and images. We are near the bottom of the creation. Perhaps .01 % is spirit and the rest is matter. In reality there isn't even love at this plane of existence. All that is here is the brief concentration of spirit in matter (pleasure) on it's way to dissipation (pain). If it where not for the heart chakra being linked to the heart center in the spiritual/material region where there is at a minimum 51% spirit we would not be aware of love here at all. Here, even pleasure doesn't come about without force or friction occurring. For this region, that is natural.

Trying to sit calm and quite with eyes open and disciplining the mind and body with as little thought and effort as possible may help. Just try and not do anything physically or mentally.

You seem to have a superior recognition of your real situation and condition than most people.
