Greed
This pattern invites us to become aware of the total reality
of “pain versus pleasure”. Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
This is somewhat crucial since we humans “think” we have to avoid pain at all costs and on all levels. We often resort to pleasure to get away from the pain.
The mind/false self declares pain as real when we experience not having enough of what we need (in the past or in the moment we are in) and/or the fear of lacking what we need in the future. Not knowing the power of our hearts nor our TRUE NATURE, NEEDS and PURPOSE leads to unsuccessful attempts to find fulfilment and eventually to excessive and automated attempts to do so. Voila: greed is born.
We could call greed a big cry of help from our true nature. Pain is the means to let us know.
We humans portray incredible creativity in the pleasure seeking department: every form of fun, distraction, circumvention, endorphin/adrenaline or numbing seeking behaviour is precious to our mind/false self.
We all know our own tactics in this department very well 😜, don’t we?
What to do?
1. We can do some work to realise a few things about pain, like: pain will pass FULL STOP pain is information FULL STOP information about where we lack to self-responsibly cover our needs FULL STOP pain can disappear in an instance FULL STOP pain can be incredibly useful in wisdom development FULL STOP pleasure won’t make pain go away for good FULL STOP etc.
2. Let’s have some compassion and love for ourselves. Pleasure seeking behaviours are no form of failure or bad humanness, they are simply an attempt of filling the inner emptiness resulting from not being our true selves.
3. From here we can proceed to learning what we truly need and do some work to fulfill those needs.
In a nut shell this is the process and purpose of life. Finding out what we really need, how to attain it and then take actions accordingly. Greed in all its forms will disappear and we will be free of pain and it’s debilitating consequences.
Join our Qifield and face your greed. It can be fun, enjoyable and total “pleasure”. We can be free....together.
