Whatever picture one paints with words, it points only to a single part of the story, and were left with an incomplete understanding of the situation. Whenever our understanding of a problem is incomplete, its effect is to breed conflict. Then, blame becomes the solution and inevitably war breaks out. We have all but forgotten the purpose of our being on earth. Not only have we lost the way, but also the will to know the truth of ourselves. And, out of this incomplete understanding of ourselves grows a slowly deepening state of spiritual sleep, False purposes produce false desires; false desires cannot be satisfied. The ensuing sense of limitation creates greed -- from whose suffering no one escapes, including those who have amassed the most of our worlds goods. What needs to be changed begins with us, as individuals. We must stop trying to change the world we see, and begin the inner work of changing the way in which we see the world. A change needs to take place at the very core of our nature, one that affects the way in which we relate to life. This transformation of our interior person does not take place by a simple change in the way we think. Our perception, itself, must be reborn -- as every other solution to our suffering has failed to provide lasting results. Its clear: we will not be able to think our way out of a prison that our thinking has produced. Besides, thought is basically the servant of the desire, created by it over millennia to facilitate the minds need to recognize and describe the sensory world it perceives. As such, thought is powerless to change the content of itself, let alone the reality that it reflects upon. Something new needs to be awakened within us that isnt habituated, and that cant be conditioned.
