Where Your Unhappiness Arises From

Posted by Ken Lauher on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 @ 05:15 AM

Built into the very structure of the egoic self is a need to oppose, resist, and exclude to maintain the sense of separateness on which its continued survival depends. So there is "me" against the "other," "us" against "them."

The ego needs to be in conflict with something or someone. That explains why you are looking for peace and joy and love but cannot tolerate them for very long. You say you want happiness but are addicted to your unhappiness.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

- Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle

Ken, This is a good quote but there is an important typo: This sentence:
"You say you want happiness but are addicted to your happiness." Last word should read "unhappiness". eh?

The editor in me!

These daily wisdoms are inspirational & I thank you for them. Am I right in thinking the above should read "addicted to unhappiness"(a small but important error). Gratitude for your wonderful web site and daily wisdom.

This is so very true. I find myself correcting my thought patterns, because all of a sudden I'm dwelling on a "conflict" that doens't exist. Why? Because this has been my thought pattern most of my life. I'm happy that I can quickly adjust my thinking and attitude though.

Thank you for this post.
