The Wind Up Is A Cover Up

Being wound up is being anxious, fearful or angry about a state of affairs. Our minds are constantly held captive, and we’re so distracted that we cannot see the causes that created this uncertainty.

Everyone knows when something isn’t right, but we cover up wounds and traumas using the extremes of platitudes and exaggerations. The wind up is a cover up.

We are partners in this vicious cycle of our existence.

Being wound up is suffering. The Buddhist definition of the cause of suffering is a belief in a self-construct, but it should be added that the world in which we live promotes this volatile phantom.

When we can train our mind, we stop being confused and foolish. Through dropping the mind’s reactions – even for a moment – consciousness is given space to see all sides of whatever is presented.

A moment’s meditation does just this.
We are that consciousness that knows.

Just notice being wound up,
and the tension in the mind and body.
