Yeah. I understand the meaning and the feeling especially in a relationship. I read this message in my niece"s FB. I have a message too for all of you. Nothing is static and everything is evolving. You can choose to be a victim or you can decide your fate. In my previous articles, I have told all of you that every step forward in your life is your choice and I want to re-iterate that you are fully responsible for your action and decision. There is no two hoots about it.
Our body have five senses, ie sight, taste, hearing , smell and touch. Our world is seen through these five senses and our mind will react according to these senses. Our mind is like a "loose string monkey" jumping and reacting through these five windows. There is the reason why some Buddhist monks have six burn marks on top of their head. These burns are marks to seal these five windows and the sixth marl is to break away from the earthly world. These marks act as reminders in some Buddhist sects.
To make things simple, our mind acts independent from us and it will react automatically to the various senses. The mind have a mechanism to interpret and act in the best interest of the body. But, it may not be necessary the correct decision. The mind is influenced by our experience, learning and feelings and our mind make it look as if it is our decision. Sometimes, when we heard some rumor , we reacted strongly without knowing and checking the background and to know whether it is the truth. The mind, when it hears a rumor , it will make a decision immediately based on the limited information and our mental habits formed from past experiences. If we understand our mental habit and we could change the way we think, it will break the hold of the mental habit on our mind. The situation could be different and the ending should be better and happier.
So, when we feel that the magic is gone, it is really our thinking or it has been manipulated by the mind based on its mental habits? It is not really us. If we take the time to understand the incident in more details and understand the origin of the magic and see the incident from a different light or perspective, everything could be different. The magic is always there and we have not taken the time to feel and look for it. It could be that we are looking at it in a different angle and shifting our goal post or we have missed it or mistakenly taken it as magic.
Do not be mislead by the illusionary world outside. It is just a manifestation of our thoughts through the five senses and is not real. We should seek our true mind within us. The reality is inside us and we should seek it in the right place. Buddha have taught many ways to seek the truth and to have eternal happiness . This is the path you should choose. Happy seeking and Happy Wesak.
Namaste.
