Unhealthy entanglements and attachments are an affront against your very soul. They trap you in fear, leaving you with a sense of spiritual emptiness that you cover over with addictive substances and transgressive behaviors. These unhealthy choices trap you, spiraling you out of control. Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, set out on a journey of a lifetime to discover the real meaning of human existence. Ultimately, he discovered that ignorance, clinging, and aversion are the causes of all suffering. Until you recognize this truth, you will remain a prisoner of your own negative thinking and behavior.
Fortunately, there is a way to free yourself of these self-imposed forms of bondage. It starts by accepting that external fixes will never resolve your internal suffering. Accepting this fact is the first step toward your salvation. It frees you to turn toward the spirit within.
Join Reverend Dennis Ashley this Sunday for a lesson about making the mystical, spiritual choice to be free.
