Short And Simple

Once again a list is easy and useful. Attachment to anything or anyone is the biggest block simply because the object of attachment blocks our heart, the very source of our ‘entheos’, and as it does it sucks up all the energy of our consciousness, our self. Any dependency will result in the distortion of our consciousness into anger and fear, the main source of our moods, when we do not get what we want which we have brilliantly convinced our self is what we need. And our oldest friend the ego will eclipse our capacity to give encouragement to those who have temporarily lost courage, be optimistic in the face of ‘unfortunate’ events, share the kind of happiness that can spark others out of their depression, and extend love to those who are temporarily paralyzed by their own fear, simply because the egos sole concern is for itself! And then there is the desire to acquire which is guaranteed to ‘dampen our spirit’ simply because with desire comes anxiety in the form of fear of failure, loss or denial. And fear is probably enthusiasms greatest enemy.
